Will The iPhone 7 Have Dual-SIM Capabilities?

Sometimes we wonder whether Apple CEO Tim Cook himself is privy to what the next iPhone would carry as part of its feature enhancements! The number of rumors that fly thick and fast, leading up to launch date in September can get more confusing than being tasked to predict Indian General Elections.

Therefore, we at Techtree.com decided to faithfully report as many rumors as we can get hour hands on, without fear or favour. So, here goes the latest in the series that began, barely a day after the company launched the iPhone 6S and other models on September 25 last year.

The big one emanating from Engadget relates to something that Apple has studiously refrained from doing, despite rival Android-based smartphone makers doing so several years ago – the introduction of a dual SIM facility. (Read the story here).

The reports gained credence from leaked photographs on a Chinese smartphone repair website Rock Fix. Things got warmer when Engadget carried the pictures and confirmation from the owner of the company that iPhone 7 could indeed accommodate two phone numbers.  Of course, there was no information on how or from where did this gentleman get the pictures.

Now comes another intrigue. If we are to believe the pictures that the man from China (Ganzhou to be precise) has been posting about the iPhone 7 features, it looks like the headphone jack would continue to be in place. This is contrary to earlier rumors of Apple doing away with the 3.5 mm audio jack and bundling music with the lightning cable assembly.

This could have been a highly controversial move as iPhone users would have had to purchase adapters or a fresh pair of headphones and earbuds that work with the Lightning Port.

Other parts of which the website has published pictures include screen panels and some memory chips. If the latter is true, then the next iPhone could have a memory bank of a massive 256 GB.

There are also images of a dual lens camera for the bigger model, looking suspiciously like the Huawei models. Reports first suggested such a camera some months ago, which was shot down by another website which quoted a Foxconn source to suggest that the technology wasn’t exactly up and running.

However, a couple of days later, another so-called insider shot down this rumour suggesting that mass production of the dual lens camera was under way and that not just Apple, but its competitors such as Samsung, Xiaomi and even smaller brands like Oppo and Vivo were exploring this innovation in upcoming models.

Of course, none of these mean anything in reality as Apple has usually managed to spring surprises on launch day, scheduled again in September.

As we said earlier, we are not even sure whether Tim Cook has been made aware of all the details about the next iPhone model!
