so we know the 6 introduced round edges. just to follow apple's format, i believe that the iphone 7 will continue with the round edge but more than likely be an evolution of the 6 series. i would say the ipad mini form factor is the perfect candidate for the iphone 7. round and wait for it, the chaumferred edge is going to make a comeback! yayyy.
now even further, i predict that iphone 8 will be another major overhaul, think iphone 4 and iphone 6 releases. i would say the brick form factor will make a comeback and sapphire glass. Now this would be another game changer.

3G/S= round redesign, plastic
