There hasn't been any confirmation yet on what the latest Apple phone will be called, whether iPhone 7 or iPhone 6s, but speculations on the features and date of release of the company's new flagship phone are already making its rounds on the Internet. Fans even continue to ask for more updates but Apple continues to keep mum about what they are working on.

As reported in iDigital Times, the forthcoming iPhone 7 is believed to be revealed sometime in September 2016. Leaked images of the smart phone have been passed around already. In fact, an insider who is allegedly working for Foxconn has posted online a rough document on Weibo by user KJuma, according to MNR Daily.

The unconfirmed document revealed that the second-generation iPhone will probably feature a 12-mega pixel rear-facing camera with 4K video recording, along with 240 FPS slow-motion qualities. Aside from that, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will have 2GB of RAM and carry a 5-megapixel front-facing camera—a major step up from the 1.2 MP featured on current iPhones.

Apple has been putting great effort with enhancing its cameras, beginning with the 8-megapixel snapper in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus which are some of the best when it comes to smartphone camera. But Apple wants more.

"According to reports from Taiwan, Apple has been working on dual-lens camera tech for 3 years already," said Expert Reviews.

There are no details yet about the storage but Apple is currently offering an entry-model with 16GB as well as two other storage sizes, 64GB and 128GB. Apple may also be turning to a new Qualcomm LTE chip that will open up increased speeds of web-connectivity while having the capability to save battery life, according to CNet.

There is also a rumor going around saying that Apple is ready to introduce wireless charging to the iPhone 7. So far, the rumors have not come from any reliable sources. If these new reports are to be believed, Apple fans will surely have a lot to be excited about.
