The smartphone appears to be running Apple's internal testing software SwitchBoard, rather than a public version of iOS.

They make cases for people who want thick phones that last 2 days.Oh wait better they should have made the phone slightly thicker to make rear flat and also should have made room for a bigger battery
Thank you apple for making me love my 6S even more.

It will be marketed as a 7.

No way. They need some way to sell this trash.

What the hell are you talking about some 7.6 mm or 7.7 mm overall thickness will hide this bump,same as iPhone 5s or SE and i don't think they are thick phones

And you would still want one if it looked like this?
(TBH I don't mind the antenna bands)
Removing the ubiquitous 3.5mm jack used in laptops, desktops, automobiles, stereos, music players, tablets, mobile phones, even airline in-seat audio jacks, is a travesty. Millions of iPhone users have invested good money in high end headphones and/or earbuds that use the 3.5mm standard, now those consumers are screwed.
You are going to use an adapter, no one from Apple is going to come to your house and seize your old headphones.
The current home buttons are touch sensitive but you wouldn't be able to tell. I assume you mean a 3d/Force Touch home button, in which case you wouldn't be able to tell either unless the video showed the person pressing it or if it is flush as some rumors may suggest.
Thank you so much for that sage advice, I was genuinely concerned Apple was going to seize my old headphones. I feel so much better now.
Actually you're the one that sounds like the fanboy. How about you take your attitude elsewhere.Oooo Apple Fan Boy alert!
Take your attitude elsewhere.
I was hoping this wasn't going to be true (And maybe it's still not.) But if this is the next iPhone, I'm going to switch the the Samsung S7 Edge.
I've had every iPhone since the first one, and hate how boring the design has become, especially since this one in the video will be third year in a row the phone has looked like this (and likely 4 years when they do the S model.)
I'll come back to Apple when the design is great again.

People seriously considering not upgrading because this is not a design overhaul?
Guess what, I don't mind, as much as I don't mind Mac's design being the same for years if the design is good. Granted 6 and 6s design was one of the worst of the iPhone lineup, but I actually like the tweaks they made on the iPhone 7.
The camera protrudes but it does not feel constrained anymore between the antenna bands and, most importantly, follows the corner radius of the iphone structure. Once you realize that this does not happen in the 6 / 6s you'll get some serious OCD about it, trust me. The antenna bands got reduced as well.
As long as Apple introduces more performance, better battery life, better camera, some cool new features design leaks can't leak, and of course, a reasonable way to use headphones and earplugs, I would call it a good upgrade.

Explain to me how not being happy with a removal of headphones on an Apple product makes me a fanboy lol.
Hopefully not but then again, iPhone 7 rumors said that it would be flush at first. It is even more likely if they go thinner although it should be among their main priorities for the 2017 iPhone.Fugly protruding camera even worse than iPhone 6 so unpleasant
The phone still looks like something from 2011 when maufacturers like Samsung and LG are reducing bezels making real awesome looking phones.
