That’s all hearsay and rumors. Traditionally Apple does not announce new hardware aka new iPhones until September when they have an “Apple Event.” Last year due to Covid they announced the iPhone 12 in October. As an Apple “fan boy” I usually upgrade about every 2 years, sometimes every year. I have a 2019 Chrysler Pacifica and although my iphone can be charged without a cable I cannot charge it in the Pacifica wirelessly. I don’t mind the cable for charging it’s not a major inconvenience but it is a bit of a pain. As someone else wrote it’s less expensive to buy a new cable than to upgrade the phone.
Very true, you are correct, Apple usually releases new phones closer to Christmas. There are some rumors that Apple "might" release a lot of new hardware at WWDC with some major OS changes. But, yes, that is all rumor.

The iPhone 7 is certainly a very nice phone and will last at least another year.
