The iPhone 7 may still be months away but expect the rumor mill to go crazy as far as speculations on what the next Apple flagship is likely to carry. It has been repeatedly made known that the iPhone 7 will likely come out with minimal changes likely to be done inside. To date, among the leading rumors tied up with the iPhone 7 include that of an A10 chip, 256 GB of internal storage, a larger battery, LiFi, stereo speakers and possibly a USB Type-C processor.

There will be some iterations as well. The iconic headphone jacks will no longer be included, something that may account for the rumored plans to make the next device thinner. A Smart Connector was previously mentioned as well though all that was doused after the leaked photo from Macotakara came out.

One of the other specs that the iPhone 7 will reportedly don is higher RAM at 3GB. While many considered such as nothing more than to provide added power, the bump in RAM is tied up to the dual camera that the device is expected to come with.

The 3 GB of RAM will provide extra memory for the iPhone 7 to meet the high requirements in the processing of images brought forth by the dual-camera setup. This was explained no less by reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities who predicts that Apple’s dual-iSight camera will be used on the iPhone 7.

A look back will see the iPhone 6s model sporting only 2 GB of RAM with the added 1 GB seen nothing more than to improve the device’s performance. But with that explanation, all of it somehow makes sense.

For a little insight on the dual-camera modules, these are believed to produce images comparable to DSLR cameras. The modules are likely to be supplied by Sony or LG Innotek, something that s expected to be present for the iPhone 7 and 7s where up to 30 million units could be shipped.

If so, the camera of the iPhone 7 or 7s now becomes an interesting feature to check out and all that may likely come into fruition by the Fall.
