By ET Online | Updated:
It's just over 24 hours remaining for the new iPhone 7 launch. And the tech world has gone into a frenzy, and for good reasons.
In the biggest smartphone launch of the year, Apple will unveil the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 plus on Wednesday. It will, like always, be live-streaming the launch.
Here are seven things that you need to know about the newest members of the Apple family.
1.Venue: It's the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco that will be hosting the grand event. Apparently, the auditorium has been jazzed up for the biggest smartphone.
2.Chip: Preliminary reports suggest that the iPhone 7 will be powered by Apple's new A10 chip offering a maximum clock speed of 2.4 GHz.
3.What's out: The tech major is likely to drop 16GB and 64GB models and add a 256GB variant. As a result, Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models will come in 32GB, 128 GB and 256GB variants. Both the iPhones are also likely to get a RAM boost.
4.Thin is In: If rumours are to be believed, Apple is apparently aiming to make the iPhone 7 up to 1mm thinner. Tech wizards hint that it will perhaps do away with the traditional headphone jack. Also, the iPhone 7 may finally reveal the Apple's rumored wireless "AirPods" earbuds.
5.Water-safe: Dropped your phone into the sink? Chill! The new iPhones will be water-resistant.
6.Picture-Perfect: There have not been too many complaints about the iPhone 6 camera. But things may get better with the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Both cameras will have 12-megapixel sensors.
7.Desi love: The good news is that we can expect the company to launch the device in India before Diwali. This means you have to re-budget your Diwali expenses.
All of the above information is speculative as nothing has been revealed officially about the iPhone 7 by Apple so far.
