With the iPhone 7's launch being just weeks away, previous rumors have been leaking regarding the probable suggestions that the phone will carry a different name, the iPhone 6 SE for example, since the new flagship phone might not exhibit greater specs far from its predecessors.
That theory has gained more weight by a new benchmark sighted by GSMArena, which reveals a handset called the iPhone 6 SE, achieving very high scores on Geekbench performed by a Chinese tipster.
The phone achieves a single-core result of 3042 and a multi-core score of 5210, which is up from the 4417 multi-core score the iPhone 6S managed in the GSMArena tests, suggesting to be a new phone which exhibits a newer chipset such as A10.
The result were posted by iNews in China and spotted by GSMArena that shows the device is running on iOS 10, which the iPhone 7, or whatever it ends up being called, will almost certainly launch with, as reported by Tech Radar.
Further details about the upcoming iPhone 6 SE have also been leaked by the same Chinese source, which revealed that the much-rumored capacitive Home button won't happen in 2016, as the prototype still has a physical button. However, the True Tone display tech originally from the iPad Pro 9.7, which allows the screen to dynamically adjust its white balance to suit your environment, might make it to the new iPhone.
Also, the iPhone 6 SE Plus is said to come with a dual rear camera arrangement, which apparently is going to have a solution in line with what LG's chosen for the G5, with the two cameras having different focal lengths.
Rumored pricing specs on the Apple devices have been leaked as well, and it's likely to suggest an absence of a 16GB version. Apple is rumored to move to 32GB, 64GB, and 256GB storage options for the iPhone 7, and 32GB, 128GB, and 256GB for iPhone 7 Plus.
As of now, the rest of information still lies with Apple's announcement on its annual Sept. 7 gala event, where the newest devices - iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus - will be revealed.
