Apple Inc. has recently released its newest iPhone flagships, the 6s and 6s Plus, that gained record breaking sales three days after its launch. The company is now speculated to unveil the iPhone 7 in 2016 which is believed to sport wireless charging technology.

This handset is speculated to have thickness of 6.5 mm, about the same thickness as an iPod Touch. It is also believed that iPhone 7 will be sporting a dust-proof and water-proof body. And lastly, Apple is considering switching to glass-on-glass technology for its touchscreens. This is a setup where a glass touch panel is sandwiched between an LCD display and the iPhone's cover glass.

None of these speculations were confirmed by Apple Inc. yet. However, many outlet claims that if these initial specs might somehow be close enough to the undisclosed features of iPhone 7. Hopefully, the company will be spilling the some of its details soon.
