2016 will be a very exciting year to all Apple fans out there. Below, are the things they should expect in the company's most-anticipated gadgets:
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
While iPhone 6s is yet the best Apple smartphone available in the market, fans are now very excited to get the forthcoming iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus; these are slated for release on September 2016.

"Apple uses newer technology, and opens more possibilities for sound," 9to5 Mac Senior Editor Mark Gurman said.

Anything Apple can remove from the phone is a benefit for them."
