The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus were just announced and there are already murmurs about the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. With the iPhone 6 announced last September one can expect the iPhone 7 to be announced September 2016. But what else could Apple improve?

Here's what we want to see in the iPhone 7:

Waterproof It
Samsung and Sony are doing it, so why isn't Apple? Hopefully we can safely call a taxi next time we forget our umbrellas.

IOS 9 was released on the 16th so we're going to go over some changes that IOS 9 brought to the table. At first glance it may seem that not much has changed but there is actually a lot to talk about here.

Multi-Task
iPads now have a much needed feature that most people are familiar with -- split screen! Yes! iPad owners can now multi-task by having two apps open at a time, just slide your finger in from the right and you're good to go. Now you can enjoy your favorite show and check your email at the same time. The possibilities are endless.

***CORRECTION WE DO NOW OFFER iPHONE 6+ REPAIRS**** It seems like one of the most common questions we’ve been getting lately is “How can you fix the iPhone 6 but not the iPhone 6 Plus?” The answer is simple, really: It’s expensive. Simple as that. To give you an idea of the type of costs we’re talking here, the average cost of a high-quality iPhone 6 Plus screen is $400.00, and that’s just the part. After shipping and labor costs you would be looking at close to a $450 repair and Apple repairs them for $329 out-of-warranty.
