High res screen mostly. Better camera with optical zoom (check out their somewhat recent patent for this), better body design. Less bezels, way smaller top and bottom of phone.
#1. Sapphire Crystal Display iPhone 6 was supposed to have it but the company Apple bought failed to deliver.
hardest toughest most transparent glass. Better than Gorilla Glass
#2. QHD display my Note 5 destroys my iPhone 6's resolution
#3. Next Generation Lithium-ion Battery technology used it New Macbook longer lasting.
#4. Dual Cameras, for 3D scanning objects in real time.
#5. PowerVR 7000 Series graphics series (Xbox 360 level) new standard for mobile devices set in 2016
#6. 3GB DDR4 RAM
#7. iOS X Widgets and Themes
#8. Partnering with LG big order of 5.5 inch OLED QHD Displays
#9. Better body design, the iPhone 6 Plus is heavier and bigger than my Note 5 which has a bigger better 5.7 inch QHD OLED Display.
#10. Improved Radios and Antenna design, why can't I get signal at the grocery store
#11. USB Type C enable fast charging and 10GBps data transfers along with Audio and Video
#12. BEATS Integration with Ultra High end Audio using the USB
Type C port for Ultra HD high quality Audio
#13. 3D Force Touch 2.0, and Taptic Feedback 2.0
#14. Apple A10 Quad Core CPU (the A9 is Apple first Quad Core no doubt there will be issues)
#15. Low Power Emergency Mode.
#16. Emergency 911 beacon Mode.
#17. High end Bluetooth Codecs AAC and aptX for improved Bluetooth Audio
#18. New Motion chip detects a fall causes phone to Vibrate so it lands Glass up.
#19. Full NFC support
#20. Water Proof/Splash Proof overall sturdier.

Let's see...
#2. Not happening and WAY overkill
#3. Only relevant with a tapered design, so again, not happening
#4, #5, #6. Told you in the other thread to quit dreaming
#7. Jailbreak
#8. Seriously?
#10. Not Apple's fault in the slightest
#11. HA
#14. Again, the A9 is NOT quad core
#15. Already in iOS 9
#18. That would never work
You clearly do not know Apple AT ALL.
Outside of the standard A chip increase, the only things to really expect for the 7 is design change and the very likely resolution increase on the screen.
Non "s" models don't usually get any new hardware features (NFC on the 6 I think was the only time.) Brand new features and tech are typically reserved for "s" models. Non "s" are design change and usually screen advancements. (4 was Retina, 5 was 4" screen, 6 was 4.7" and 5.5" with 1080p on the plus.)
