Other rumors about the iPhone 7 is this one will be an all-screen iPhone that eliminates bezels and provides a larger display while maintaining a small device footprint at a maximum of 5-inches.

The render applies to the current iPhone screen, which stretches diagonally to 4.7-inches. Based on Apple's past release dates, the iPhone 7 with an A9 application processor could be on store shelves early in September 2015.

Apple fans, however, hope the next Apple flagship smartphone will have the biggest camera improvement ever. According to reports, the iPhone 7 will have a camera designed to shoot DSLR quality pictures.

Apple, however, could follow up its current iPhone 6 flagship smartphone with the iPhone 6S which could be replaced by the iPhone 7 set for release in Q3 of 2016.

According to reports, Samsung will be the biggest application processor supplier in early 2016 and Samsung processors will power future Apple iPhone and iPad models.

Apple is also said to be searching for an engineer to design apps that easily integrate with virtual reality capabilities and features.

Apple may develop in-house apps to be deployed by default along with the next-gen iOS. The Cupertino company may also manufacture in-house VR hardware based on Apple's previously published patents, including "an Oculus Rift-style headset."
