While, Apple is keeping mum on the release date of its upcoming iPhone iteration, possibly dubbed iPhone 7, rumors about the handset's specification details are making a lot of buzz lately.

New reports suggest, Apple iPhone 7 will ditch its old aluminum casing and get an attractive all-glass look. According to Mirror, the chairman and CEO of Apple supplier Catcher Technology, Allen Horng, has revealed that the company is planning to make the upcoming iPhone 7 using a glass casing. Allen also said that an advanced processing technology is also being developed to support the glass casing in the new iPhone 7.

Recently leaked pictures of iPhone 7 appear to show a version of the phone with a completely blank front panel. If the pictures are to be believed then it means that Apple has decided to drop its famous home key in favor of an on-screen button. There is also no evidence of a headphone jack on the bottom of the phone.

As far as the iPhone 7 specifications are concerned, rumors are the new iPhone will likely arrive with Apple's yet-to-be-confirmed iOS 10 software and an upgraded processor to offer even more power and better efficiency. It is also expected that the new iPhone 7 device would be a waterproof offering, reported GameNGuide.

There are also reports which suggest that the Cupertino will likely roll out not two but three iPhone 7 variants this year.

 According to tech blog site Mobipicker, citing information from an anonymous source, the iPad maker will release three iPhone 7 models including an iPhone 7, an iPhone 7 Plus and an iPhone 7 Pro or Plus Premium.

The reports claim that Apple device makers Foxconn and Pegatron have already increased their workforce in order to meet production demand for the three iPhone 7 variants, according to CNET.

Apple CEO Tim Cook recently teased in an interview that the company's new iPhone will compel people to upgrade to the new phone.

"We've got great innovation in the pipeline. New iPhones that will incentivize you and other people [who] have iPhones today to upgrade to new iPhones," Cook said during the interview, reported The Christian Times.

 "We are going to give you things you can't live without that you just don't know you need today. That has always been the objective of Apple. To do things that really enrich people's lives. That you look back on and you wonder how did I live without this."

The new iPhone 7 is expected to get released in September. We advise our readers to take the iPhone 7 specification rumors with a grain of salt as the iPhone maker is yet to announce what it has in store.
