Alleged Leaked iPhone 7 Images Reveal New Case Design

They have a finalized design at the very least 6 months in advance, because it takes nearly that long to set up the manufacturing process for these phones. There are hundreds of millions of them.
The accurate design leaks of the past have also come out around this time.
Because there is more practical away of connecting. The one that does not involve wires coming out of your pockets, t-shirt, around your neck and down your ears. Quality may be questionable currently but wireless is the future and 3.5mm is going to be a history and there is no question about it.
Design-wise, it's a 6ss. So I hope hardware and software will have something worthy of a 7. I am glad the 2 lines near top/bottom of the back will be gone. They were the ugliest things ever and they persisted since 5. Btw the other day I had an opportunity to hold the original iPhone - Holy crap, that thing was a brick! LOL
Would you rather have the second speaker or the jack? that seems to be the trade off. Current iPhone already have bluetooth and audio out via lightning
I make the same argument about wireless charging and people tell me it's a gimmick. I say, to each his own. ANyone that wants wireless headphones can have had them for quite some time now. Literally nobody stopping them. I suppose it's all a matter of perspective and what matters most to the individual. IMO there isn't a right answer here because we don't know exactly what is happening yet. It reamins to be seen what we gain to accompany the loss.
Would like to see the return of a black iPhone.
I expect the 7 will be substantially thinner.

Past reviews have stated that there were no stereo speakers available on the iPhone and they claimed that to be a bad thing. Some people use them, some don't. It isn't a feature I care about but some will. If they are removing the headphone jack then why not put them in there since they can. I also added it in to making the iPhone 7 sell because it is just another feature to differentiate it from the 6. They are removing the headphone jack regardless if they add stereo speakers or not but adding them to the phone seems like they are adding yet another feature to the "new" phone.
You mean like this? every review its saying besides the edge phone, Samsung designs are the same
Not saying Apple needs to follow the same pattern but I don't what folks are expecting or needing to see
1-3 was classic metal. 4-5 was ugly as hell. Cheapest LG models looked better
WE NEED AN ENTIRELY NEW CASE, THE 6/6S' DESIGN SUCKED, PLEASE APPLE, DON'T REUSE THE SAME DESIGN AND JUST MAKE IT A MILLIMETER THIN
Enough is enough. The iPhone 6 is already too thin. Beef it up with a better battery, AM and FM radio. Enough with this sickness of thinness.
Not even.The classic iPhone 4 BRAUN inspired design was perfect.
Ok if it has to be thinner to please Jony fine, but stay with the 4 design.
I don't understand why something that was perfect has to be changed.
Just to please a few eggheads with short attention span
who always need something new?
And, put that off button back where it belongs naturally: on the top.
(As in form follows function.)
Since I am probably keeping the Next program would get the 7. But, would be disappointed if we had no headphone jack and no dual speakers. I don't like bluetooth earphones. With one speaker I can put the iPhone in my holder on dash and hear fairly well. Dual should be fairly good. I disliked the bluetooth earphones enough to buy a cassette adapter, plug it into iPhone and play thru my, very good, car audio system. Sounds real good that way.
We had a square like shape phone for 4 years. iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5S. I like it, looks a better than 6/6S. I really don't care how it looks. All I want is them to reduce the bezels on the screen and give me a black phone I'm tired of the space grey or a gold back iPhone with a black front.
I always go to 9to5mac when the weekend arrives since they still cover rumors/news during that time while MacRumors takes it off..plus they're pretty fast with them as well.
The iPod touch: reaching the pinnacle of iPad and iPhone design since 2012.
I am sure that you know this, but you don't NEED to get a new phone in order to continue with ATT Next. Next or some other program will be around to when you want to get a new unit. If the 7 doesn't have what is useful to you, why be disappointed AND be on the hook for another 16 months, or whatever, of payments? Just take a break from the upgrade cycle and put the money you'd otherwise pay in the bank. That way, when the 7S, or 8 or rolls around you'll be that much further down the road to paying it off if you decide to take the leap. I am on the 6 now and am seeing nothing that is compelling me to upgrade. But I will wait and see what the final package has to offer.
That's it! For my next job I want to be a Chassis Leaker!
