There are no official announcements regarding the release of iPhone 7 and iPhone 6s, but reports are already pegging the flagship phone for a 2015 release - most likely in September.

Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus continue to sell well and the company has broken the previous iPhone 5s and iPhone 5C records.

According to reports, the iPhone maker is looking at halving its smartphone update cycle in 2015, meaning we could see two iPhone launches in a single year.

Reports suggest the company is potentially prepping the release of one handset -- the iPhone 6s -- alongside the Apple Watch during the first half of 2015 and then another -- the iPhone 7 -- in the iPhone's usual late-Q3 launch spot, according to KnowYourMobile.

"The new schedule is expected to stagger the releases of two devices in 2015 to capitalise on sales," notes The Mail Online. "Apple could release the iPhone 6S to people who want to upgrade to a slightly cheaper model, before announcing its flagship iPhone 7 in the autumn."

"Our source says that Apple is hesitant about launching the iWatch in the spring of 2015 without a new iPhone to go along with it," the report added. "This could give hesitant consumers an excuse to wait on buying both until the fall."

iPhone 7: 2GB RAM?

The iPhone 7 could be the first smartphone from Apple to feature 2GB of RAM. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were expected to equip 2GB RAM, however that did not happen.

"A new report out of Taiwan claims Apple is planning to double the RAM for next year's iPhones and iPads," notes TechnoBuffallo. "That would mean 2GB of RAM in new smartphones and 4GB of RAM in new tablets. While Apple's devices generally run pretty smooth more RAM could mean improved multi-tasking, especially in Safari where opening too many tabs at once often causes them to reload."

iPhone 7 Camera Update: DSLR-like Images

The iPhone 7 could see the biggest camera update in Apple's history. "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," said Daring Fireball John Gruber on his "The Talk Show" podcast.
