Photos of the upcoming iPhone 7 device have leaked through renown Taiwanese Popstar Jimmy Lin. Following his accurate history of apple products since 2012, his photos have been considered as some of the most reliable iPhone 7 leaks to date.
In the pictures, Lin is seen sited at a café holding a device that matched the widely aroused rumors of what to expect from iPhone 7 in a few weeks. The handset has an iPhone 6-inspired look, just as predicted. A dual camera system can also be seen in the picture as well, Forbes reported.
Whilst anticipating fans got excited by the new leaks, Lin's photos do not shed any light on the controversial omissions and updates: headphone jack removal and pressure sensitive home button amongst others. They, however, may represent the real device, judging from the Popstar's past successful encounters with iPhone 5 and 6 leaks through 2012 and 2014.
According to PC Tablet, Lin first made a reputation with accurate leaks when he posted photos of himself with an iPhone 5 on his Weibo page before the official release of iPhone 5. He then leaked photos of iPhone 5C in 2013 and that of iPhone 6 in 2014. The photos proved to be genuine and accurate, and Apple employees in Hong Kong also confirmed that Lin's iPhone 6 was a genuine Apple device.
The dual camera on Lin's handset, as seen in the photo was the most conspicuous component that aligns with numerous leaks. Apple has, however, not confirmed any of the widely spread speculations and leaked images although the official release is approaching.
Meanwhile, Apple is expected to introduce an update for the current generation MacBook Pro. The updates include a slimmer design, 5k Thunderbolt display, a touch sensitive panel, and a USB Type-C port.
In addition, the company is also expected to launch the next generation Apple Watch, which is rumored to be similar to the current generation watch although much faster. This is due to the implementation of WatchOS3 that was announced at the WWDC event hosted earlier this year.
Pre-orders for the iPhone 7 handset will begin on Sept. 7 while the device is expected to hit shelves on Sept. 16. Watch the clip below for an iPhone 7 rumor roundup:
