According to some news, Apple has declared the iPhone 7 release date to be 16th of September. The intro of the upcoming device is scheduled on the 7th September and it is likely that by 9th of the same month the pre-orders of the product would begin. It is expected that the new phone would resemble iPhone 6S in terms of design and build, however, the feature upgrades and the internal specifications are still not known.

Moreover, the news that leaked out in the past weeks along with the near final cut of iOS 10 pointed to several confirmed specifications and feature upgrades of the next iPhone. About 9 of these are following:

Only Touch ID fingerprint sensor unlocking available

According to Apple Inc., a new OS i.e. iOS 10 would be running the iPhone 7. The latest OS will be compatible with earlier devices including iPhone 5S. The first recipient of the Touch ID fingerprint sensor was iPhone 5S and it suggests that beginning with iOS 10, the preferred and easiest way to unlock an iPhone is certainly the ‘Touch ID’. So we would be missing “Slide to Unlock” option in the new iPhone.

Notifications are actionable now

In the successor of iOS 9, users would be capable of using notifications in a detailed and actionable manner. But iPhone 7 would-be customers won’t need to unlock the phone to trigger an action as different tweaks were applied to the Notification Alerts. These can then be viewed, from the Lock Screen, simply by swiping down on the screen area.

Alerts on Spam Calls

The upcoming iOS 10, is much smarter than its forerunner as it has the feature of tracking an incoming spam call and then notify the user, from within the new redesigned Lock Screen.

Another new thing is that Apple completely restyled Business and Music. According to a report form Insider, “Now it’s a lot lighter, with much more white space, bigger letters, and more prominent album art”

Siri gets improved

Siri, the personal digital assistant, also got enhanced as it will have the ability to transcribe voice mail that will be much utile for those users who like to read the received messages instead of reading them.

Customize the apps experience

The company has now, with iOS 10, provided users the opportunity of choosing third-party and non-native apps of their choice. Moreover, with the new functionality the native iOS system apps & per the latest beta version can be removed. However, the Safari and the Message app cannot be played with.
