Apple ‘iPhone 7’ to supposedly get at least 32GB of storage

If this rumour is to be believed, the base model for the upcoming entry-level iPhone would have 32GB storage instead of the paltry 16GB. Apple has been getting flak for the 16GB especially since they’ve introduced features like 4K video recording, which you can’t do much of with 16GB of storage. A source told WSJ that Apple is expected to make that change when they launch “iPhone 7” later this year. The new phone will supposedly adhere to Apple’s current pricing scheme but the base model will have twice the capacity.

Apple currently offers 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. We can’t say if they plan to change these capacities and follow in the footsteps of the 256GB iPad Pro. But if Apple does plan to up the capacity of its entry-level device, that’ll be welcomed by many disgruntled iOS users.

The upcoming 'iPhone 7 Plus' might get LG dual-lens camera modules

With production issues plaguing Sony, Apple may turn to LG to help manufacture its dual-lens camera modules. According to research analyst Chris Chang from Nomura Securities, Sony may not be able to meet the target quota because of "lower-than-expected" yields and damage to a production facility caused by the earthquate in Kumamoto in April. And so Apple might turn to LG Innotek for the first-wave of orders from Apple. 

Chang speculates that the upcoming 5.5-inch iPhones might use dual-lens cameras and will come with optical image stabilization, a feature previously meant for "Plus" devices. The "iPhone 7" and "iPhone 7 Plus" are rumoured to be coming out by the end of September and this camera issue might cause a problem for the launch. Hopefully, this can be resolved quickly.
