It appears that only the iPhone 7 Plus will get a dual-lens camera, but while the standard iPhone 7 will likely be stuck with a single-lens snapper that’s not to say its photographic skills won’t be improved over the iPhone 6S, and one improvement could come in the form of optical image stabilization (OIS).
OIS helps to counteract camera shake, meaning shots are more likely to come out in focus while also improving low light performance, and a leaked image obtained by Nowhereelse.fr suggests the iPhone 7 might feature it.
OIS is built-in to many high-end smartphones, including the Samsung Galaxy S7 and HTC 10, but so far Apple has only included OIS in the larger iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6S Plus handsets.
Yet as you can see in the image comparison above, the alleged iPhone 7 camera module has a key thing in common with the cameras on Apple’s phablets – namely the four little cut-outs around the lens.
An obvious explanation
On the iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6S Plus these cut-outs house components required for OIS, which is why they’re missing from the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S camera modules. It’s possible that the cut-outs serve a different purpose on the iPhone 7, but OIS is the most obvious explanation for them.
Of course it’s also possible that the entire image is showing a fake component, especially as the shape of the module is quite different to previous iPhone cameras, but Nowhereelse.fr has a good track record for leaks and this isn’t the first we’ve heard of OIS in the iPhone 7.

It doesn't matter what Apple does with the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, it seems that the tech and even some Apple fans are already condemning boh new iPhones that haven't even been announced yet, to be hugw failures and it seems, according to this latest rumour at least that the regular iPhone 7 will finally get OIS.
The huge failure is that it took Apples years longer than the competition to add OIS to their regular sized flagship.
That said, the new phone should sell very well as most iPhone users are afraid of change but it will be hard pressed to out sell the first quarter of 6s sales and that could spell yet another year over year sales decline for Apples iPhone.
