Just months after the iPhone 6's release, iPhone 7 rumors are starting to spread online.

While there have been little to no mention of an exact release date as of writing, several specs claims have been made about the newest iPhone. Some have been over the top, while the others could be expected to materialize.

According to International Business Times, Economic Daily News first dished on the iPhone 7's glasses-free 3D display.

"Apple is 'actively' working to create an ecosystem of 3D 'hardware and software,' and the company has approached its longtime display supplier TPK to help develop the new screen for next year's iPhone iteration. The report said that the current touch-screen technology, which Apple has been using since the launch of the iPhone 5, will not be useful to build the 'naked eye 3D screen,' which is expected to be seen on the next iPhone," the article shared.

The idea although very ambitious could not be far-fetched. For one, Apple has PrimeSense under its wing. The Israel based tech company is responsible for Microsoft's Kinect technology that can create 3D maps and "track facial and body movements."

MacRumors has also claimed that the tech-giant has also applied for a 3D technology (specifically one that doesn't require the use of any special glasses) related patent in 2008.

Despite unofficial iPhone 7 rumors, fanatics of the Apple smartphone are still looking forward to the new iPhone 7 which boasts of better battery life and possibly even a built-in projector.

Apple's new smartphone will reportedly have major upgrades on its camera too. As Christian Today reported, the tech giant has tapped the services of Sony to create a camera that has DSLR quality.

Gadget expert John Gruber dished on the move, "The specific thing I heard is that next year's camera might be the biggest camera jump ever. I don't even know what sense this makes, but I've heard that it's some kind of weird two-lens system where the back camera uses two lenses and it somehow takes it up into DSLR quality imagery."
No official confirmation has been made about the said partnership.
