Along the same lines of improving photo quality, the device's camera flash LEDs will reportedly increase from two to four: two in warm colors and two in cool colors. 。

In terms of design, the KGI note backs up the biggest rumor we've heard in recent months, namely that Apple will get rid of the traditional 3.5-millimeter headphone jack in favor of Lightning EarPods and add a second speaker with an audio amp. 。

Another design change mentioned, which we've heard before, involves offering new colors, including "Dark Black" and "Piano Black," with Space Gray being removed from the color palette. 。

Some of these rumors have been out there for months, but coming from this new source adds additional heft to the likelihood that many of them will turn out to be accurate. 。
