“Question: How many new iPhone models does Apple release each year? It used to be one, then two when Apple launched the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus,” Gordon Kelly writes for Forbes. “Well now in 2016 it is going to be four.”
“Looking to consolidate his reputation as ‘the best Apple analyst on the planet’ KGI Securities’ Ming-Chi Kuo is at it again. In a research note obtained by MacRumors, Kuo has reaffirmed that Apple will indeed release three models of the iPhone 7 this year in addition to the imminent 4-inch ‘iPhone SE,'” Kelly writes. “Consequently the three iPhone 7 models will be the 4.7-inch iPhone 7, 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus and a new and even more premium model based around (already huge) Plus which some are dubbing the ‘iPhone 7 Pro.’ What’s the difference between the Pro (I’ll go with the name for now) and the Plus? A groundbreaking camera.”
Kelly writes, “In fact, I should say groundbreaking ‘cameras’ because Kuo says the iPhone 7 Pro will use a dual-lens camera system created by LinX, an imaging specialist Apple purchased in 2015.”
