iPhone 7 seems to be one of the hottest coming smartphones of Apple. And although its debut is still some months, the iPhone 7 has appeared exclusively on GSMArena with a detailed design and…

iPhone 7 design showed up on GSMArena – Beautiful but not so surprising

Lately, we’ve been able to spot iPhone 7 design on GSMArena. It shows that the handset will not change much compared to the predecessors iPhone 6 and 6s as well as their Plus variants. As a result, we guess the company has decided to surprise consumers with their iPhone 8 next year. Anyway, in our opinion, these renders of the iPhone 7 are beautiful enough and somehow can meet your expectations.

Speaking specifically, there are 3 images released under the form of 3D technical drawings and created by a “reputed source”, according to the site. Despite being “warned” that the colors and materials are not official, we think they totally can come true since they are like following Apple’s tradition. Besides, we can see a dual speaker at the bottom and antenna lines moved to the top and bottom edges of the machine. As what we have been informed before, no audio jack is on board but Lightning Earpods or Bluetooth Earpods speculations.

So those are some main points about the iPhone 7’s appearance. As for its hardware, there’s no new or changed specifications mentioned. Then, we assume the previous pieces of info about iPhone 7 specs are still likely to be real. It will be powered by a 4.7-inch screen with 750 x 1334 pixels, waterproof capability, 3D Touch tech, iOS 10, an Apple A10 chip, 16/64/128GB ROM (non-expandable), 2GB RAM, and a 12MP rear + 5MP front camera combo.

iPhone 7 price and availability

It is almost definitely that iPhone 7 along with its siblings will debut in September 2016. Though, the exact iPhone launch date has not been confirmed by Apple yet. Neither has iPhone 7 price. Anyhow, many people predict that the device will cost around $700. What is your thinking? Is it as reasonable as you expect? Share with us!

ASUS Z2 Poseidon VS Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro: 6GB RAM beasts

So, firstly, design-wise, it is easy to notice that the machines bring not the same feeling.

In general, obviously the ZUK’s product is less powerful than its rival, except for the selfie snapper. However, this is understandable because the ASUS Z2 Poseidon mostly aims at those who like playing heavy games, yet for more normal use, perhaps the Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro is already enough. Do you agree?
