iPhone 7 Plus Design Drawings Depict Dimensions Identical to iPhone 6s Plus

[SMIDG3T]

The iPhone 7 will be boring. All that's new is a dual camera system, Smart Connector, a slight tweak in the design (no antenna lines across the back of the device, but they'll still remain along the very top and bottom), a slimmer Lightning Connector, a possible new Home button, possible twin-speakers and a higher screen resolution.

Oh and the smaller things, bigger or increased battery life, new chips and iOS 10/X. See, nothing new at all. Oh and if the iPhone 7 doesn't please you, no-one is forcing you to buy it, right?

Looks like the iPhone 7 is shaping out to be an iPhone 6s's'... The extra 's' stands for suckers

I remember the time when having thinner phones was called innovating. That hasn't been the case since, oh I don't know, 2012? It's also a good idea to release a iPhone 6ss when your company is having troubled times keeping marketshare and profits up.

I can already hear Phil Schiller at the keynote:

"The most advanced phone ever. 5,5", 16GB and no headphone jack while maintaining the exact same dimensions of the phone. That's something only Apple can do"

And "Almost 1.5% thinner than the... Er... Sorry my bad".

A controlled leak through apple I bet to counter stock price drop today

If leaking the fact that the iPhone 7 will be the same design for the third time is meant to drive the stock price, Apple is even more desperate and living in la la land by now than I thought.

Not likely. This leak will probably hurt stocks. There's nothing exciting about these rumors and leaks for the new iPhone.

 

[MH01]

If it's the same design for a third year, I suspect apple will get a rude shock if they expect people to purchase an iPhone 6SS. Really poor.

 

[snowboarder]

Not having an iPhone is almost cool...

 

[LordQ]

I can't get over the ridiculous idea of an iPhone "Pro".

 

[navaira]

Oh and if the iPhone 7 doesn't please you, no-one is forcing you to buy it, right?

The day after Apple announces revenue drop is the perfect moment to say that.

 

[TurboPGT!]

CHANGE! I NEED CHANGE! ITS NOT GOOD IF ITS NOT DIFFERENT.

 

[iThingsGurl]

It's also a good idea to release a iPhone 6ss when your company is having troubled times keeping marketshare and profits up.

Which is why they decided to launch iPhone SE so on their Q1 2017 call they can say x million iPhones sold, but they'll never say which iPhones were sold more.

 

[AliMacs]

LOL, my S7 edge is LHAO.

Jony Ive run out of ideas.

 

[mdelvecchio]

oh nos ma phone looks da same!

strange, didn't hear all this whining about MacBook case design being the same each year. or home audio receivers, etc...

 

[rp2011]

Aw shucks. I was hoping for thicker antenna bands with wider bezels. Guess I'll have to wait till next year.
Hopefully by then they can also add a cathode ray tube screen too.

 

[robotica]

All hail ze iPhone SS!

 

[Bathplug]

I hope it's not a boring phone as leaks seem to make out.

 

[TheShadowKnows!]

I can already hear Phil Schiller at the keynote:

"The most advanced phone ever. 5,5", 16GB and no headphone jack while maintaining the exact same dimensions of the phone. That's something only Apple can do"

While showing his ever-increasing blubber, with shirt tails out.

[Steve Jobs must have been been under deep, dissociative drugs when letting this motley executive crew steward the next-gen Apple.]

 

[newdeal]

this is good news actually because it might mean that they could make it much thinner but instead will make it the same and increase the battery life by a large margin. Now THAT would be a feature that would get people to buy it

 

[AliMacs]

If losing the headphone jack is a trade-off for better durability in liquid & dust, I say - good riddance, headphone jack!

Galaxy S7 - full IP68 WITH HEADPHONE JACK.

 

[nutmac]

So the progression will be like this, for 4.7" iphones:

2014: iPhone 6
2015: iPhone 6S
2016: iPhone 6SE
2017: iPhone 7

I am personally okay with 3 year major update cycle. Cellphones are not advancing as quickly as they used to and Apple can focus on software features and iterative hardware improvements (e.g., faster processor and wireless, longer battery life, better camera, a couple of few hardware features).

Perhaps Apple will add more colors? Blue and green perhaps? And do a better job camouflaging antenna bands.

With the most boring iPhone redesign ever?

 

[unobtainium]

To be fair, a dual-lens camera could be amazing. But I won't upgrade if it's the same size as the current 6S Plus. They need to cut those bezels down and make it sleeker.

 

[TheShadowKnows!]

Jony Ive decided to take a year off.

One could just wish. Maybe Timothy grew some cojones and told him enough of this fatal attraction to anorexia.

 

[BMcCoy]

Confirmation that the best iPhone release of 2016 is the SE...?!
