Every piece of iPhone data, up until Cook steps on the stage, is a rumor. Apple never announces anything in advance.

iPhone 7 Pro - 3 models to be released.
Smart Connector included on iPhone 7.
With actual "samples"
But the rumor mill has a hit hit rate, and quite early. Much better than when Jobs owned the secrecy effort. I suspect most of the rumors for 10th anniversary edition are pretty accurate.

Not really a fan of the curved designs ala iPhone 6, 7. Apple should've stuck with the design of the iPhone 4s or 5 and worked around that to make the 6 onward. An iPhone 6 that was based on the 4s with glass back and gold, black or silver would've been brilliant.

You mean like the iPhone SE - which has essentially the same specs as the 6s - and has been available for a year now?

What I meant was something like taking the 4s or the 5, making it thinner and having a bigger screen and more importantly, making it thinner. Something like this:

If you think Apple will deviate their annual refresh cycle, I have some land on Mars to sell you.
There are numerous economic reasons that they stick with annual. Not of the least that their new upgrade programs are yearly, and carrier programs are every two years.
There will - unequivocally - be no new iPhone in April. Ever.
