That concept drawing is way off and uninspiring. Pretty obvious the 7 will have a new design.
I came up with one;
A display that expands to the top and bottom of phone. The ear piece and home button are still there but imagine waking up your phone and the entire front screen lights up. Imagine a night sky wallpaper cover the entire face and the weather app animations displayed from top to bottom You now have your main bottom apps on both sides of the home button and the status bar at the top of the phone. This gives you more screen space and yet another row of apps. Imagine games having the extra space for buttons etc.
For those that want waterproof and more resilient class and stronger chassis, the 6s/6s Plus has all of those things.
As for Android having 3GB of RAM, the Java GC environment needs 1.5x to 2x the RAM to be as efficient as ios running apps. I see no reason Apple would reduce battery life to increase RAM,which would have little effect on the higher resolution Plus' screen performance.

I could like that. In addition, I would like to see the UI revamped to "bottom-centric". Currently, it is "top-centric" with many controls residing at the top part of the screen. With growing screen size, it would be welcome to flip that as your fingers are usually coming from the bottom reaching up. That would be ergonomically better, and might tender this funny reachability feature obsolete.
Because it doesn't need that extra RAM to drive the 326PPI screen while the "+" version has 1080P screen.
Going higher dpi for the (OLED?) screen would be a natural evolution, eliminating the current downscaling, but as the 'plus' has the OIS camera, it is the choice for people that desire the best images and video. Another GB would be welcome for 4K slo mo, higher fps 1080P, or video processing/post processing, but it really just adds to 7 / 7 Plus differentiation.
The earlier rumor about gasketing the shell and components would be another welcome evolution.
Focusing on thinner is no longer of much importance. Never, holding the iPhone have I thought it was too thick. In fact, the iPhone 6 is so thin it can be difficult to pick up.
What I would prefer to see as a focus over thinner is integrated wireless charging, waterproofing, and better battery life, as well as a sturdier frame. I see way too many bent iPhone 6's from normal day to day use.
You take yours swimming? I guess you missed the part that the 6s and 6s Plus are made of 7000 Series aluminum, and are extremely durable compared to 6/6 Plus. There are also water resistance techniques used in the 6s/6s Plus phones.
I know I ask this every time but I'm going to ask again. Why is this considered "breaking"? This guy isn't breaking any new news, heck he's not even breaking any rumors. He's just making guesses on what he thinks Apple might do. I'm sorry but that does not deserve a "breaking" tag. :no:
And Apple just introduced 2GB RAM this year. Does anybody really believe they're going to up it again in just one year? Although I will lmao if they do considering some here thought 1GB was just fine...
3GB ram sounds like there's a new feature to be introduced. Perhaps the plus will get multitasking? Or is it the 4K that's eating away RAM? I don't think they'd upgrade the RAM if there wasn't an always-on feature that they're introducing.

The iPad Pro has 4GB, so it seems to me that after years of being stingy with RAM they are finally changing that.
This is great (I think)? The comments regarding being stingy with RAM are BS. Apple has a reason for not adding more RAM. Primarily they cannot reach a critical target of battery life. They also believe that you should only add things when you actually need them. It is silly to think more is just better. But that is what a lot of people believe I guess. I assume that there is a known issue with 2G of RAM (I doubt) or as was already stated there is a new mainstream feature that requires it. (I believe this to be true).
Not sure Apple needs to update phones this fast. Even with upgrade program this will create issues. It will be very difficult for them to keep software adoption consistent with changing models. Feels like they are pushing the envelop as is. We will see.

The 6S+ is a lot more stiff than the 6+. They fixed that.
They have started the waterproofing already. Wireless charging would be nice. I wouldn't argue with better battery life either.
Apple, make sure to give more storage to make 32GB base model and reserve, hidden 1-2 GB for upgrades so my iPhone don't go into limbo state during larger upgrades forcing me restore thingy due to lack of available memory.

I understand that the world doesn't always produce the smartest of people but Apple has gone to a different system for updates that should make what you are describing a non issue. Please stay away from these forums until you obtain an education.

So, things of note:
Ming is "well-connected" again, as @mike01 noted.
iPhone 7 will have a re-designed external chassis (pretty obvious to predict).
iPhone 7 will release in September (again, pretty obvious).
iPhone 7 Plus will have 3GB of RAM (speculation).
iPhone 7 will be the thinnest iPhone yet (finger-in-the-air, neither-here-nor-there prediction).
Damn, let me enjoy my 6S Plus before you open the floodgates of new rumours please!!
When you hear about 3GB of RAM, you're no longer enjoying your 6S+? LOL.
Why not have 3GB RAM in the iPhone 7 as well?

That concept drawing is very cool, not far from the mobile phones they have on Extant.
And I don't believe a single bloody word of his.

I'm forever hitting the damn thing when I want to use the volume controls.
better not let your wife / girlfriend hear that.

Check out the iPad Pro it may be an indicator.
