Not being to see what size this case actually is, it's possible that this could be the 7+ case not the 7.
For one, smaller. The 6 series is way too large overall for its screen sizes. They look prehistoric compared to other modern large phones.
This is the iPhone. Apple's PR department can sit on their hands and hype will still overflow. This is Apple we're talking about here.
Where have you been for the past 6 months?
This is true, but i do think with the 7 Apple need to give people a reason to upgrade, the 6S had a better camera, 3D Touch and Live photo's adding just a Dual camera to the 7 wont be enough, so i wonder what else they will have up their sleeves. I'm not saying that keeping the shape and same design is a bad thing, i currently use the 6 Plus and i love it.
i hope they can reduce the size of the bezels on the top and the bottom
Took them long enough to get stereo speakers, if that's what the cutouts truly are for. As for the camera cutout: a lot of iPhone cases already come with large (or even larger than what's pictured) cutouts to prevent the flash from working incorrectly.
Same here man especially the Goophone 7 whatever it's called knock off phones. It's like 2014 all over again huh? Lol!

I hear you but you can't help but feel excited that the leaks are finally starting to come in!
I'll sell you the free one I get with my iPhone 7 for half that!!!
Btw, do you remember what it was that PT Barnum said about fools & money??
while other companies add feature... apple takes them away
Can't innovate my ass!

It's sooooooooooo adorbs when people think their own silly little pet peeve is actually so gigantic that a multibillion dollar company would do something as radical as uproot their CEO over their piddly issue.
It reeks of entitlement and self grandeur to the high heavens!
I don't know why they think stereo speakers are going to be more useful to most people than a headphone jack. I am dubious of speakers so close together providing much of a stereo field... at least for most people:
Looks like it will have the same dimensions with the mega big top/bottom bezels and that odd home button parallel to the volume button. Featuring a thinner body and less battery life.
The main reason I moved from Android to iPhone was to be able to use headphones with inline remote controls. Even though I now use bluetooth earbuds mostly, I still have reason to use wired headphones from time to time.
If future iPhones remove the 3.5" jack, then I have no reason to buy any of them.

boring, roughly the same dimensions. i am not gonna buy the same phone twice just thinner
iPhone fanboys would pay double that and still manage to find some way to justify it.
no headphone jack, no iPhone for me, ... I want to use my compression artifact free, and just working, also in airplane mode, studio monitor headphones (Sony MDR 7506 - https://twitter.com/renebln/status/690957066500968449) and I also want to share my other in-ear w/ microphone with other phones, etc.

Seriously. My ears are wider than the speakers. How much difference would the stereo speakers make? We all have mini Bluetooth speakers anyway.
I often run sound for small events and the headphone jack was nice for playing music. Guess I'll have to buy a separate Shuffle now. Oh wait...now I get it.

look at a 3.5mm jack, it's a half-inch long. in today's shrinking world, that's like football shaped growth jutting out of one's neck. this could is also be readying iPhones for usb-c connectivity down the road, no? if nothing else, adapters are a fine solution for me. 3.5mm jacks have been around for decades. i was against it for a fleeting second then i remembered what world i live in.

The stereo speakers give you nothing with just 2cm apart, ... and the video running in wide- full-screen, ...
Maybe a microphone hole anyway, ...
