It will also borrow camera features from iPhone 7 like dual-lens and 3D Touch. The smartphone will also come with Apple Pencil support. It is rumored to come with new, harder aluminum which could lead to an even thinner design. It could also take advantage of the new True Tone equipped display that was found in iPad Pro 9.7.
