iPhone 7 release date, specs, other details: Should you buy iPhone 6s or wait for new device?

So much has been written about Apple's upcoming flagship device dubbed as the iPhone 7, even though it is still months away from release. This could cause confusion to Apple fans whether to buy the current flagship the iPhone 6s or its successor.

Apple is expected to release the iPhone 7 in September, which means Apple fans will have to wait for at least five months before catching a glimpse of it, and it may take a little longer to actually grab it. The Cupertino giant hasn't confirmed the release date of the device, but it is expected to come by this time, when its predecessor completes a year's cycle in the market.

The upcoming next-generation smartphone is expected to have several feature upgrades over its predecessor. In fact, it is expected to be a game-changer, but most gadget lovers may not use an old device for months until the release of the new device.
