25 Hidden iPhone Features that are Really, Truly Hidden

News about iOS 10 Public Beta

You Can Delete Built-In iOS Apps on iOS Device

August 9, 2016 DHZ Leave a comment

You Can Finally Delete Built-In iOS Apps, but Should You?With iOS 10, it’s possible to remove 23 pre-installed apps from your iPhone or iPad. Doing so frees up space, but also has some drawbacks.

Apple recently announced that iPhone and iaPad users can finally delete pre-installed Apple apps. That means you can get rid of superfluous apps you never use, such as Compass and Tips, perhaps. It’s as simple as pressing and holding an app icon until it jiggles, and then tapping the ‘x’ that appears on it, but it only works after you install iOS 10.

delete apple apps

iOS 10 is out now in beta release, although many people will likely wait until September or October for the final build before they get it. Either way, there are a few things to know before you chuck those apps.

Ditch the App, Lose App Access
Get Organized When you delete one of the pre-installed apps from your iPhone or iPad, you’ll lose it from the Home screen, the Notifications panel, and any connected devices and services you might use, such as CarPlay and Apple Watch. You also might delete data stored in it, unless that data is saved to a related cloud account.

What I mean by that is if you delete, say, the Music app, and you have purchased songs in the app through iTunes, you’ll still be able to access your music through iTunes. But the songs will be gone from your iOS device when you remove the app.

You can always reinstall apps that used to be on your phone at no cost. So, if you change your mind and want to reinstall an app, it’s just a matter of downloading it and tailoring it again to how you use it.

Which Apps Can You Delete?
Once you have iOS 10 installed onto your device, you can remove up to 23 apps that you couldn’t before. Some are fine to remove if you have never used or rarely used them. Others require a little more explanation about what will happen if you delete them before you decide to do it. The apps I recommend removing if you have never (or rarely) used them are:

-Calculator
-Compass
-Find Friends
-iBooks
-Music
-Notes
-Podcasts
-Reminders
-Stocks
-Tips
-Watch
-Weather

Beyond those, there are 10 more apps you might delete, but they require a little more knowledge and thought. They are: Calendar, Contacts, FaceTime, iCloud Drive, iTunes Store, Mail, Maps, News (this one is not yet available to delete in iOS 10 beta, but it will be in a later release), Videos, and Voice Memos.

You might be thinking, “Why would I delete my Contacts app?” It’s pretty scary to think about eliminating your entire address book. Well, it turns out that won’t happen. If you delete the Contacts app, all the phone numbers and other information contained in that app will still be accessible from the Phone app. In other words, the information in your Contacts app isn’t solely relegated to that app. It’s elsewhere, too.

There are other apps that might also have important information that won’t necessarily disappear for all time if you wipe the app from your phone. For example, if you use Calendar on a Mac and sync your calendar entries across devices, you can delete the app from your phone without losing the calendar appointments from your other devices. Just make sure all the data has synced properly before doing it.

FaceTime is an app I’ve used only once or twice…until my sister started using it. Because I want her and other friends and family members to be able to get in touch with me by whatever means is most convenient for them, I will keep FaceTime on my phone. Put another way, even though FaceTime isn’t my first choice in communication apps, it might be for other people, and that’s reason enough for me to keep it around.

Tip: If you also want to be sure people can reach you via FaceTime, make sure you can get calls on it when you are not connected to Wi-Fi by enabling 3G/4G/LTE data use. Go to Settings > Cellular and scroll down until you see FaceTime. Make sure the green button appears.)

How Much Space Can You Reclaim?
The amount of space you can reclaim by deleting pre-installed Apple apps varies, although Apple estimates it’s only about 150MB for all 23 apps. It’s a little misleading, though, because the amount of space changes dramatically based on the data is associated with each app.

Let’s say you used the Music app some time ago, but then switched to a streaming service, like Spotify. If you have old music still downloaded onto your phone, it will all be deleted when you remove the Music app, and that could free up a huge amount of space.

The Videos app is great example, too. This app stores movies and TV shows you’ve downloaded to watch, not videos you’ve shot. Maybe you downloaded a movie to watch on a flight long ago and never remembered to delete it. It could be taking up a huge amount of space without you even knowing it, because when you go poking around the iOS settings to manage your storage, the Videos app doesn’t even show up! You can only see how much space videos are taking up when you plug your phone into a computer and view the space in iTunes.

If you’re still short on storage, read How to Free Up Space on Your iPhone or iPad for more tips. And if you’ve reclaimed space and are looking for new apps, be sure to check out our lists of the best iPhone apps and iPad apps.

25 Hidden iPhone Features that are Really, Truly Hidden

August 6, 2016 DHZ Leave a comment

How many times have you seen posts on tech sites about “hidden iPhone features” and thought to yourself, these tricks aren’t really hidden at all. We’ve even had a few articles here on BGR with tips that were indeed unknown to most users, but the savvy iOS device owners out there were undoubtedly familiar with at least a few of them.

Well, in this piece we’re going to tell you about 25 hidden features on iPhone that are really, truly hidden. As in, you could look through your iPhone from now until the end of time and you wouldn’t find any of these tricks unless you know what you’re looking for.

iphone-plus

In the past, many of the hidden tips we’ve seen on sites and even covered here are simply things that are buried in the Settings app in places people normally wouldn’t look. These are great things to know — plenty of people would make their camera flash blink with incoming messages if they knew that they could, for example — but they’re not really “hidden” or “secret,” per se.

Each of the tips that follow below, however, are completely hidden. There is no indication that these functions exist in iOS, and we guarantee that most users don’t know about them. In fact, we also guarantee that even the savviest iPhone owners among you will find at least one or two things you didn’t already know. In fact, ran this list past a friend who works at Apple and there were a few things that even he didn’t know.

Enjoy.

Redial: In the Phone app, press the green call button on the keypad screen to make the last dialed number appear.

Clear cache: Make your iPhone run faster by clearing out the cache in several of Apple’s apps using a secret trick. In the App Store, Podcasts, Music, Game Center, iMessage and Phone apps, tap on any single tab icon at the bottom of the screen 10 times in a row.

Make TouchID work faster: Save the same fingerprint multiple times as different entries and TouchID will work much faster. This is especially useful on older phones like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s.

Spotlight conversions: Remember when we told you how easy conversions are in our post on Google search tricks? It’s even easier for iPhone users — just open Spotlight and type something like “20 euros in GBP,” and it will instantly perform the conversion.

Spotlight math: Want to do a quick math problem? No need to open the Calculator app, just pull down to open Spotlight and type it right there.

Delete numbers in the Calculator: Speaking of the Calculator, you can delete single digits when you tap the wrong number by swiping left or right on the screen where the numbers appear.

Clear RAM to make your phone run faster: Hold down the power button until you see “Slide to power off,” then let go and hold down the home button until the screen goes blank and your home screen reappears.

Burst mode: Hold down the camera’s shutter button to shoot in burst mode.

Remote shutter: Use the volume up or down button on your headphones to snap a photo in the Camera app.

Turn the flashlight off: How many times have you turned your flashlight on and wished that you didn’t have to swipe open the Control Panel again to shut it off? We’ll save you a step: simply swipe up on the camera icon on your lock screen and the flashlight will turn off.

3D Touch while drawing: All of the drawing tools and the eraser are pressure sensitive in the Notes app.

Close multiple apps at once: Double-tap the home button to open the app switcher and you can use two, even three fingers to slide multiple apps closed with one swipe.

Recently closed tabs: Want to reread this article on your phone but you forgot what site you were reading it on in the first place? Simply tap and hold on the + symbol in Safari on the tab carousel view to open a screen that lists all of your recently closed tabs.

Desktop version of a site: We all know you can request the desktop version of a mobile site in Safari but it’s easier to do than you think. Just hold down the reload button in the URL bar.

Peek at tabs: Not sure you want to open that tab in the Safari tab carousel? A 3D Touch will let you Peek at it first.

Peek at bookmarks: Did you know you can use 3D Touch to Peek at bookmarks before you open them?

Edit reminders: 3D Touch an item in your Reminders app to edit the time or add a location.

View only unread emails: So you don’t practice “inbox zero” like I do but you only want to see unread emails in your inbox. Tap the Mailboxes link in the top right corner of the Mail app and then tap Edit. Tap the circle next to “Unread” and you’ll have a new folder that contains only your unread emails.

Save a draft with one swipe: In the Mail app, tap on the subject line and swipe down to the bottom of the screen to save a draft.

Quick Reply: When you get a notification at the top of the screen that you have a new iMessage or SMS, pull the notification downward to reply without leaving the screen you’re on.

Hidden level(s): Slide to the left in the Compass app open the level. Then place your phone flat with the screen facing away from the ground to reveal a bubble level.

Artist Peek: 3D Touch an artist in the Music app to Peek at their music.

Reenable Low Power Mode: When Low Power Mode automatically shuts off as you charge, you’ll get a notification on your lock screen that it has been disabled. Swipe left on that notification to turn it back on.

Find an iPhone’s owner: Did you find a lost iPhone in a bar? Simply ask Siri, “whose phone is this?” and it will show you so you can get in touch with him or her and return it.

Reachability: This is one of the new iPhones’ best features and there are still SO many people who don’t know about it. Double-touch (don’t tap, touch) on the home button and the entire screen will shift down so you can reach the top without shifting your grip.

14 Things You Didn’t Know Your Apple Headphones Can Do

August 6, 2016 DHZ Leave a comment

Two days ago I accidentally stomped on the EarPods that came with my iPhone 6, shattering the left bud, and sending my morning commute into total disarray. I lamented. I yelled. I thought about calling in sick. A little dramatic? Maybe. But the loss wasn’t just about missing my morning podcasts.

You see, in typical Apple style, an intuitive remote control hides within the ubiquitous white headset that I unwittingly demolished — offering users so much more than the obvious headphone capability. Here are 14 things you might not realize your Apple EarPods can do, from sending unwanted calls straight to voicemail with one click (sorry mom), to effortlessly fast-forwarding to the best part of “Mambo No. 5.”

hidden features of iPhone headphone

1. Play/pause songs
How: Click center button

If you want to start playing the song you left off on—or to pause it midstream—simply click the center button to get the ball rolling (or stopping). In addition to songs, this (and the rest of the music-related tricks) will work with videos and podcasts, and applies to streaming services like Spotify as well as your iTunes library.

2. Skip to the next song
How: Double-click center button

To skip over the filler in your favorite albums, or to reach “Eye of The Tiger” and give your stamina a much needed boost at the tail end of your morning jog, a quick double click will do the trick.

3. Start a song over
How: Triple-click center button

If you just can’t listen to “Uptown Funk” enough times, you can triple click the center button to repeat the funk over, and over, and over again. Don’t believe me? Just click (thrice).

4. Fast-forward
How: Double-click, and hold (during a song/video)

Because sometimes, you just want to skip to the good part.

5. Rewind
How: Triple-click and hold (during a song/video)

Because sometimes, you just want to experience the good part all over again.

6. Take a picture
How: Click either volume button (with camera app open)

If you need to swiftly snap an incriminating photo of your best friend at 4 AM, but need to keep your hands steady, an ideal way to get shot you want, without your fingers messing up the action is by clicking the volume button, which is effectively a shutter when your camera is open.

7. Use it as a microphone
How: Um, just talk into it

Okay, so this might be the most “obvious” inclusion on this list, but you’d be surprised as to how many people don’t realize that little volume control is also an effective microphone (it has a lil’ microphone emblem, on the back you know). As someone who spends a lot of time on the phone for work inside an occasionally noisy open office, I can personally attest that this is the best way to clearly communicate over your phone or take down a voice memo.

8. Answer the phone
How: When getting an incoming call, click the center button once

Simple enough, but not having to take your phone out of your pocket when you get a call is surprisingly cool, though you can’t screen your calls with your phone in your pants…

9. Hang up the phone
How: Click the center button once (while on the phone)

If you want to end the call you’ve started (probably because you didn’t see who was calling, in the first place) just hit the center button again and get on with your life. If you are getting another call, and want to hang up on the one you are on, this works, too.

10. Hold one call, and switch to another line
How: Click center button once (while on the phone, and getting another call)

When your on the phone with your mistress, and then your other mistress calls, you can put her on hold and answer the other call, just by holding down the center button for a second. No one gets hung up on; everything is cool.

11. Hang up on someone on the other line
How: Click and hold down on center button for two seconds (while on the the phone, and getting another call)

If your mistress is calling, and you definitely don’t want to talk to her, just click and hold down the center button for two seconds, to send them packing.

12. Send an incoming call straight to voicemail
How: Hold down center button (while receiving an incoming call)

Nobody checks/cares about voicemail anymore. But if you just want to avoid someone, this is the best way to do it.

13. Talk to Siri
How: Press and hold center button (if you aren’t on the phone with anyone)

To get in front of Siri in the quickest way possible, just hit and hold down the center button till she pops up. Then, you can boss her around. Also, once you’ve already opened Siri up, you can hold your center button down again to ask her another question.

14. Use these tricks with your Mac and iPad
How: The same way you did everything on your iPhone!

With any modern Apple product (sorry “White Mac” users), you can use your EarPods to accomplish any of these shortcuts on your other devices along with controlling volume (duh). Who knew you could accomplish so much with just a finger and thumb?

Apple Pay:Everything We Should Know

August 4, 2016 DHZ Leave a comment

Apple Pay now available in the US, UK, China, Canada, Singapore, Switzerland, France, Hong Kong, and Australia in participating retail stores and apps.

AT A GLANCE
Apple Pay is Apple’s mobile payment service, which lets iPhone 6, 6s, 6 Plus, 6s Plus, SE, and Apple Watch owners make payments using NFC with their devices.

FEATURES
-NFC Integration.
-Touch ID for Security.
-Available in the U.S., UK, China, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, France, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
-Accepted at more than 2.5 million locations in the U.S..
-Supported by iPhone 6, 6s, 6 Plus, 6s Plus, and Apple Watch.

Setting Up Apple Pay
After installing iOS 8.1 or later, Apple Pay can be set up in the Wallet app (called Passbook in earlier versions of iOS). Tapping the “+” icon in Wallet lets users to add a credit or debit card to Apple Pay, either selecting a card already on file with iTunes or scanning one in with the camera.

applepay-settings

Credit and debit cards are verified in just a few seconds, but some cards require a phone call, app download, or an email to verify a card before it can be added to Apple Pay. Once a card is verified, it is immediately available for purchases both in stores and within apps. Up to eight cards can be registered with Apple Pay at one time.

Apple Pay can be managed in the Settings app, located in the “Wallet and Apple Pay” section. Each card added to Wallet is listed in that section, along with information like billing address, email, and phone number. Tapping on a card offers specific information like last digits of the card number, last digits of the Device Account Number that replaces the card number in transactions, and it also provides contact information for the bank that issued the card.

applepay-settings-2

Some cards are also able to display transaction information, offering a list of recent transactions that have been made.

How It Works
In a retail store, when approaching a point-of-sale system compatible with Apple Pay, the screen of the iPhone will light up and open Wallet automatically, where a user can tap on a credit card to be used or pay with the default card.

A payment is made by holding a compatible iPhone or Apple Watch near a checkout system that includes NFC, most of which look like standard card checkout terminals within stores. A finger registered with Touch ID must be kept on the home button for a short amount of time (or the Apple Watch must be kept on the wrist), after which a payment is authenticated and the transaction is completed. A completed payment is denoted by a slight vibration, a check mark on the screen, and a beep.

In some stores, users may still be asked for a PIN code or to sign for a purchase due to older point-of-sale machines, but in other retail locations, checking out with Apple Pay is an easy one-step process.

At times, Apple Pay may not be much more convenient than swiping a card, but it’s important to recognize that Apple Pay is still more secure than a traditional card-based transaction. With Apple Pay, a cashier does not see a credit card number, a name, an address, or any other personally identifying information. There is no need to take out a credit card or confirm the authenticity of a credit card with a driver’s license or ID card, because all of that information is stored on the iPhone and protected by several built-in security systems, including Touch ID.

Stores are also not given a credit card number (as card numbers are replaced with unique Device Account Numbers) so store security breaches involving leaked credit card numbers will no longer affect Apple Pay users.

Making a payment online via Apple Pay is equally as simple, as it uses the same credit card and authenticates with Touch ID in participating apps that have adopted the Apple Pay API. Using Apple Pay in an app bypasses all of the steps that are usually required when making an online purchase, including entering shipping and payment information.

After an item is added to an online cart and a user initiates the checkout process, Apple Pay can be selected as the payment method. The shipping/billing address associated with the credit or debit card on file is automatically entered, as is a user’s name, and the purchase is confirmed via Touch ID. During this process, information like shipping address can be altered, which is useful when ordering a gift.

applepay-apps

In-store returns are almost as simple as payments. As described by Apple, when returning an item purchased via Apple Pay in an Apple Store, users can tap their Apple Pay-compatible iPhone against a payment terminal which displays their recent in-store transaction information.

Online and retail payments are both limited to participating merchants. Apple Pay is only available within apps that have adopted the Apple Pay API and to make a payment in a retail location, the shop will need to support Apple Pay directly or allow NFC payments.

PRIVACY
Apple has been careful to point out the company does not store or monitor the transactions that people make with Apple Pay. Apple says it does not know what people are purchasing, nor does it save transaction information.

“We are not in the business of collecting your data,” said Eddy Cue during the keynote speech introducing Apple Pay. “Apple doesn’t know what you bought, where you bought it, or how much you paid. The transaction is between you, the merchant, and the bank.”

Upcoming Features and Partnerships

PARTNERSHIPS
Beginning in late 2015, a select number of Starbucks stores will begin accepting Apple Pay. A wider launch will come in 2016, with Apple Pay support planned for approximately 7,500 corporate-owned stores.

Bank of America and Wells Fargo may begin accepting Apple Pay at their ATM locations in 2016.

FEATURES
In the future, Apple Pay may expand to allow person to person payments much like Square Cash or Venmo. In late 2015, The Wall Street Journal reported Apple is in talks with banks over a potential mobile-to-mobile payments service. Such a service could launch at some point in 2016.

iPhone 7:Everything You Need to Know

August 3, 2016 DHZ Leave a comment

The iPhone 7 is edging ever nearer and there’s already rumours flying around about Apple’s upcoming phone.

Most recent news: Looks like the iPhone 7 will be available to pre-order on September 9, and released on September 16. Head down to Section 7 for a possible glimpse of the fabled lightning-to-35mm adapter.

iphone-7-concept

iPhone 7 cheat sheet:
September 9 pre-order, September 16 release date
Similar metal unibody design, antennas moved
Screen improvement
No headphone jack
It’ll have a slightly larger battery
No 16GB option
Dark Blue, and darker ‘Black’ option
Before we get started, we to guess what it’ll be called. Tradition is that after the iPhone 6S, the next iPhone will be called the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Of course, Apple could switch things up, some rumours suggesting the larger iPhone will now be called the iPhone 7 Pro.

Maybe there will be three models, the iPhone 7 Mini, iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7 Pro?

1. The iPhone 7 release date is September 16
This one’s a no-brainer. Every iPhone going back to the iPhone 5 was released in September, so it doesn’t take a genius to work out that the iPhone 7 should present itself in September (but it WILL make me look foolish if that’s not the case).

According to a ‘reliable source’, Apple may be bringing the iPhone 7 out earlier than previous years, but this was likely relating to the smaller, cheaper iPhone SE.

It’s now pretty much confirmed that the iPhone 7 will ready for pre-order on September 9, and then fully released on September 16 . Add it to your diaries folks!

2. The iPhone 7 price will be the same as the current 6S
The cost of a new iPhone generally follows the same convention every new model. If that’s the case this year, the iPhone 7 will cost around the same as the current iPhone 6S (and the iPhone 6S will get a £80/$100 price decrease).

Following that logic, the iPhone 7 will cost around £539/$649 for the cheapest option with the least memory. And range up to £699/$849 for the top spec model.

3. iPhone 7 will have iOS 10
Previous new iPhones have shipped with brand new versions of iOS, the iPhone 7 will come running iOS 10 (we’re currently on iOS 9.3).

We heard more about the new version of Apple’s mobile OS at Apple’s developer conference WWDC in June so check out our full feature rundown: iOS 10: the new Apple iPhone features set to slay Android come September

4. The rear case will be sleeker
Whereas the iPhone 6S looked a lot like the iPhone 6, the iPhone 7 should be sporting a new design. Exactly how different is difficult to imagine, however, as the iPhone 6 seems like peak Apple design.

Early rumours suggested Apple will ditch the camera bump and antenna lines. This will make the rear casing completely smooth and uninterrupted. That makes complete sense in our eyes.

But as we get closer to the launch, and more leaks around the phone design appear, it looks like the redesign won’t be too drastic at all. Take a look at this supposed image of the iPhone 7:

It certainly lacks imagination. The key difference here is that the antenna lines have moved. While this probably isn’t a real iPhone 7 out in the wild, it certainly mirrors most of the rumours and leaks coming from Cupertino.

Elsewhere, it seems Apple could lose a few pounds thanks to a new slimmer LCD panel. What’s more, Apple is said to be shrinking some of the internal components to make more room for a larger battery.

Meanwhile, the leaks we’ve seen so far can’t agree on whether the iPhone 7 is going to be waterproof or not – some say yes, some say no. Sounds like this one could go either way at the moment.

Maybe it’s RIP for the iconic home button? A new supply chain link suggests the iPhone 7 will have a capacitive button which also has 3D Touch. This was first rumoured back in June 2015 when it was reported that Apple was developing a touchscreen with an integrated fingerprint sensor. Take this with a pinch of salt, though, there’s not much evidence out there yet.

It seems there will be some new colour options as well! Introducing the sexy new black and blue models:

iphone-7-leak

While these are renders from Martin Hajek, we think they look great, and can’t decide which we prefer!

5. The iPhone 7 screen will be sharper with no bezel
Most of Apple’s rivals have a QHD or 4K display whereas the iPhone 6S doesn’t even have a 1080p HD screen, so a bump in resolution for the iPhone 7 would make sense.

This rumour comes from a supply chain source speaking to DigiTimes, who suggests that Apple will make a jump back to glass-on-glass screens. This would allow a boost in resolution, and the ability to have a bezel-less display. iPhone 7 Edge, anyone?

That streamlined bezel could lead to Apple ditching the ‘clicky’ home button in favour of a capacitive touch button instead. This would result in fewer parts which could break, and take up less physical space. Sounds like a no-brainer to us.

6. Did someone say hexacore? and that the iPhone 7 battery will be bigger?
Every iPhone comes with a speed boost, and we can’t see that changing with the iPhone 7. There have been rumours on Weibo that the next iPhone will come packing the hexacore A10 chip (up from the dual-core processor in the 6S).

Whether those turn out to be the exact details, who knows… But it will be faster than the current model, that’s for sure.

We can also expect to see 2GB RAM, but that’s it for internal specs – there’s not much else nailed down yet.

Images of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus’s batteries have surfaced on Chinese social network Weibo. The codes on the cells indicate the iPhone 7 will have a 1735 mAh capacity, and the iPhone 7 Plus will have a 2810 mAh capacity. That’s up, very slightly, from the iPhone 6S which contains a 1715mAh battery, and the iPhone 6S Plus holds a 2750mAh battery.

While Apple is refreshing the internals, it seems they may get rid of that useless 16GB storage option from the range. This rumour comes from Chinese social media, and suggests that 32GB will be the new minimum.

7.There won’t be an iPhone 7 headphone jack
Some reports suggest the iPhone 7 will be the thinnest device Apple has ever made, and that involves ditching the bulky 3.5mm headphone jack.

iPhone 7 headphone jack

Now, that means there are three options for listening to music:

1. You’d have to buy Bluetooth headphones, which would annoy a lot of people
2. Apple will include a pair of lightning connector headphones with the iPhone 7
3. Apple will include a lightning to 35mm adapter with the iPhone (pictured above)

Does Apple think the consumer is ready for the jump to Bluetooth or Lightning? It’s certainly a bold move, but the plus side is you might get a second speaker out of it for better audio.

Other rumours suggest Apple may opt to include a smaller, 2mm headphone jack, which Apple has a patent for – and which would then require you to use an adapter, or buy new headphones… which is even more of a pain.

The iPhone 7 could also go without a charging port! Logitech has just let slip that smart connector in place on the iPad Pro models usually used for keyboard cases, can also transfer power. Seems unlikely this will feature here, but there is one reason this could pop up. If there was no headphone jack, Apple would HAVE to include a lightning cable adapter in the box. But then users should have to occasionally choose between charging and listening to music. The would be a slightly over-complicated way to solve that problem.

Are these the new standard iPhone-bundled headphones?

iphone-bundled-headphone

Probably not. The ear buds and in-line remote look genuine, but the lightning connector looks as fake a Gucci handbag sold on the street for £20.

8. You’ll be able to charge iPhone 7 wirelessly
Apple is apparently testing a prototype with wireless charging, a rumour that comes straight from Chinese social network Weibo.

But that’s not the only model Apple is testing. Other prototypes include multi-Force Touch, a fingerprint scanner in the screen, and USB-C connector. No one knows which of these will make it to the market… if any.

The wireless charging is certainly the most likely, even if it’s not true wireless charging like the S7 has. Logitech let slip there might be an iPhone model which includes a smart connector similar to the iPad Pro. This would allow charging through it, possibly.

9. Could iPhone 7 have a dual camera?
Trusted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo at KGI Securities believes the larger iPhone 7 Plus (or iPhone 7 Pro) may have a dual camera setup. And while that’s just speculation, we can certainly see it happening.

Apple tends to keep camera components for a long time, so expect the same 12MP camera module carried over from the iPhone 6S.

It seems very likely that the camera will be improved in some way, so maybe optical image stabilisation will be standard across the range?

Leaks from the supply chain seem to back up that rumour that the iPhone 7 Pro will have a dual camera, and a sizable camera bump.

10. People will start queuing in July
This one’s a guess. In 2014, we saw a Japanese blogger start queuing in February for the iPhone 6, but anticipation for the 6S was somewhat less extreme.

Considering the iPhone 7 is a major update, people could get really excited… we’ll see. Care to hazard a guess?
