reported

Though the rumor mill has been of full speculations on the removal of the 3.5-mm headphone jack, recent reports surfaced that the upcoming iPhone 7 will not be any different from its predecessor, as it will come with the same unibody design. With the surge of this news, consumers may ask if it will be worth it to buy the iPhone 7.

One improvement that would spell out the difference from its predecessors is its rumored bigger camera. Leaked photos from Nowhereelse.fr showed the supposed photos of iPhone 7's back panel, suggesting a wider camera. Aside from this, the photos also suggest redesigned antenna lines which shows removal of horizontal lines at the back of the phone.

In addition, the released photos also validate the rumors that the dual-camera feature will only be exclusive to the 5.5-inch variant. It can be seen that there is a little gap residing between the two inner cameras enclosed in an oval shape.

Another set of images were released which align with the rumored removal of the 3.5-mm headphone jack, with photos showing two dedicated grilled holes at the bottom for audio output. Though these rumors are not confirmed yet, these photos are somewhat coherent with what has been speculated about the iPhone 7, 9to5 Mac reported.

Since the expected launch date of the said flagship phone is already nearing, mass production may start a few days from now. Once this commences, more details are expected to surface which may validate all the on-going speculations surrounding the iPhone 7.

To answer the question if it is still worth purchasing, users may need to know first their preferences before deciding to buy one. After all, consumers vary in preferences and choices. Some may feel satisfied purchasing Apple's smartphones, while others may opt to buy android phones. For long-time iPhone consumers who are thinking twice to purchase the next iteration, they may weigh their choices in before deciding.

Apple is expected to follow the yearly release of iPhone every September. In terms of price, long-time consumers may expect the same pricing scheme varying in the internal storage capacity available.
