While there have been increasing buzz around the launch of Apple's 4-inch iPhone, codenamed iPhone SE, it does not put iPhone 7 flagship out of the picture. Latest buzz concern images purported to be the chassis of the smartphone have emerged online, displaying the refreshed antenna lines and a larger camera setup among other features.
According to Nowhere Else, the leaked images show that the rear panel is now completely plain, without any horizontal antenna lines. The antenna bands, however, are still visible at the bottom running along the edges.
With regard to the camera, it is clear from the stills that the rear camera hole is relatively larger than the current iPhone 7's camera, details that remain unknown for now. The back camera hole is as well closer to the edge of the smartphone, confirming that the handset will sport a single camera as opposed to its larger iPhone 7 Pro variant - rumored to feature a dual camera tech.
The bottom side of the chassis is not clearly visible in the leaked photos, and therefore, little can be said about the lack or inclusion of the 3.5mm headphone jack. According to the publication, the chassis is slightly thinner than the current iPhone models.
Furthermore, the images showed the larger iPhone 7 model's dual camera component. However, since the source of the report dates back to January, it is likely that the camera component is for a different smartphone.
Similar news from Apple Insider indicates that the rumored case designs reportedly leaked from Apple supplier Catcher Technology suggest that the upcoming major iPhone design will sport a streamlined rear case design with larger cutout to accommodate a virtually flush rear camera lens. A larger black orifice, indicating that the new design results in a "slight bulging outgrowth" as opposed to the current protruding lens, surrounds the rear camera.
In addition, the publication shows an artist's conception of the rear of the upcoming iPhone 7. The smartphone is slated for a release this fall.
