iPhone 7 and iPhone 6s both scheduled for 2015 release

Apple has picked up Samsung to produce A9 processor for the iPhone 7, according to recent reports. Samsung had lost the A8 chipset manufacturing contract to TSMC of Taiwan. But this time, it will be responsible for 90 percent of A9 production, thanks to its 14nm FinFET technology. 

It has not been long since Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus hit store shelves and already the buzz about next generation iPhones is growing louder.

Apple is expected to release the iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 in 2015, but not at the same time. The iPhone 6S will be launched with Apple Watch in the first half of 2015, while the iPhone 7 will be introduced during Apple usual September-October launch spot.

Apart from iPhone 7, the company is also planning a 4-inch iPhone. There have been reports that Apple is working to launch a new, smaller 4-inch iPhone sometime in 2015 as there are still millions of customers who like smaller screens. The new device will reportedly be aimed at women.

According to one Chinese tech website, the 4-inch iPhone will have an affordable price tag. It will replace the current low-cost phone iPhone 5C.

The current iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have recorded robust sales across the world. The new devices have broken all the sales records. The iPhone 6 has captured 40 percent market share in the United Kingdom, while the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus is outselling every other phablet in the U.S. market, according to research firm Kantar WorldPanel.

It must be noted that Apple's suppliers have increased the production, but supplies are expected to remain scarce during the holiday season due to the massive customer demand.

Rumors about the iPhone 7 started days after the announcement of the iPhone 6, however Apple has not confirmed anything, but we have seen some interesting concept designs of what the iPhone 7 may look like.

According to a report, the iPhone 7 may incorporate full-screen display and razor-thin bezels, while another concept shows a 5.2-inch iPhone 7. It has thin lines on the bottom and top of the display, with sensors embedded it them. The rendering has also removed all the side buttons in favor of sensors.
