Looks nice to me. It's a rectangle with a screen. Next year I am hoping for them to shave down the bezels, implement touch ID into the screen, and change the material. Still the same screen size though, which is 98% of your interaction with the phone. Still excited for all the new features of the 7.

That's exactly my experience too with the people offline, around me. A couple need it for work or just really prefer Android, but those who started with Android "it is cheaper", now all have 5s or better phones.

Whats funny is they used to be all "android is awesome, you can do this blah blah blah".
Get a case for the phone. Then when you tire of it, get a new case. Rinse, repeat.

Exactly this. The casing of the phone makes such little difference, I am not sure why people get so hung up about it. Until they can make a big jump (which a lot has to line up for) like new materials or new batteries, it's not worth it.

It's probably real tbh. This guy has always had the newest phone in the past.

Agreed! Id buy it with all three of those, but if it has the force touch home button I am 100% sold!

There was a rumour about this and a reliable leaker did say that his sources confirmed there will be a force touch home button. Obviously nothing is 100% until it's announced by Apple, but I do think it's a good idea. Doesn't IOS 10 kind of hint at it as well? They have removed the famous "Slide to unlock" and added a "raise to wake" feature, which when added to a force touch home button, would be great.

The LG G5 has a dual camera and it still gets spanked by the S7/galaxy note 7.

That's the LG G5 tho, we don't know what Apple are going to do with the dual camera, also Apple makes a brilliant camera in the iPhone.

See THAT would be my biggest selling point. I will be buying the 7 no matter what becuase I currently have a 5s and I would really like a faster device with a bigger screen. With the three features mentioned AND the force touch home button would make me wholeheartedly in love with the new device.

The note 4 was not the same design wise as the note 5/7.

This is what I'm talking about when people are having ago at Apple for keeping the same design, Samsung have been doing that for years and no one seems to moan, double standards I think.

Like, there is only so much you can do with a rectangle.

Well it was made from from different materials. The note 5/7 line are made of metal and glass. The note 4 has a metal trim and a plastic faux leather removable back. Very different.

I guess thats the innovation the OP wanted then?

Also you could argue that the iPhone 6s is made from different material, the 6s is made from the same as the Apple Watch, where as the iPhone 6 isn't.

Not sure if it'll work with a direct link, but worth a shot:

Or do a Google Image search for "Jimmy Lin iPhone 7"
It's nothing super impressive. Just a picture of him holding an iPhone where you can see the dual camera on the back. It probably is real though. He has a 100% track record of showing off legit iPhones before they've been released. (5, 5C, and 6)

Yes, Jimmy Lin is back again. The famously tech loving Taiwanese pop star, who has a habit (and 100% accurate track record) of leaking Apple AAPL -0.60%’s new iPhones has now appeared in public with the iPhone 7 Plus…
The photo (attained by Yeah1) shows Lin in a cafe and the handset matches up exactly with what numerous leaks have repeatedly stated we should expect: an iPhone 6-inspired design with a dual camera system. What the angle can’t confirm is the iPhone 7 range’s most controversial omission or its most welcome upgrade.

But what really gets my attention here is Lin’s track record. While there’s undoubtedly an element of self publicity to Lin’s iPhone antics, the popstar has been doing this for four years now and has never had a miss.
The stunts began in 2012 when Lin posed with an iPhone 5 on his Weibo page ahead of its release, then an iPhone 5C in 2013 and an iPhone 6 in 2014. With the latter Apple employees in Hong Kong even admitted Lin’s iPhone 6 was legit.
Lin was conspicuous by his absence in 2015, but given the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus are visually identical to the iPhone 6 there was little to show off. The dual camera on the iPhone 7 Plus, however, makes it instantly recognisable.
Of course until Tim Cook is stood on stage with the new iPhones in his hand, nothing is 100% guaranteed. But with the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus release date close, Lin’s appearance is one of the most compelling pieces of evidence yet.
And what if you are (understandably) not excited about the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus? Well, if you can resist Samsung’s exciting Galaxy Note 7, Apple is expected to reward your patience in 2017 with a radically redesigned new iPhone. That’s the thing about technology: the next great new thing is never far away…

If Apple have given him the iPhone 7 Plus, then they know he will end up leaking certain details about it. I'm still looking forward to the iPhone 7, there will be new features even if the design is the same until next years model.

Doesn't matter what they put inside or if it can make you coffee or not. What matters is if the design is the same, its not innovative.

Even tho most people put that design into a case
