You bet it'll have it. And a Wide Colour display too.

My thoughts exactly. Wonder why we're not hearing more about this.
That's seems more logical the more I think about it. Honestly though, I'm not sure this would be a selling feature for me. But who knows until we see what we find out.
the new sensors are probably for the true tone display
Probably cause everyone just wants a different design for their smartphone and ignore new features that actually enrich the experience - even though all smartphones are ostensibly becoming the same design.
Oh and a headphone jack.
More likely is the earpiece speaker being used as a second speaker like a few other recent phones.
Damn. They beat me to it.

I'm thinking showing it's age means it doesn't work as smoothly as it used to and/or it is physically beat up.
I'm hoping at some point in the near future the home button is removed completely with TouchID being implementing into the screen. Then we can lose the chin and forehead of the iPhone or most of it 
My guess is that cosmetically it will be slightly different than the 6, but under the hood and software enhancements will be almost major.
I'm genuinely interested but will probably hold out for the 8. My 5s is still good.

From the design point of view, if Apple does think of including dual sensors, wouldn't they be centred at least? (What with dual cameras, dual sensors, what's next? Dual SIM?)
That's when Apple was a much, much smaller company. The stakes are incredibly high now that iPhone is one of the biggest businesses in the world. Apple is being scrutinized now on every front, from patents to supply chain to suppliers to rumors, and many get advance info through good old fashioned industrial espionage. And it's not just the competitors, but accessory manufacturers, the media and the myriad of companies that stand to gain from iphone leaks.
I always wondered why the camera on the back wasn't centered... Normally all holes are centered

Maybe the holes are for air and they'll call it the iPhone Air. What's better than having a refreshing breeze in your ear when on the phone... Only for $ 99 extra and you'll see this only on the iPhone Air
Right. Or, they could be different models.
As you write, though, it could just be Apple hedging their bets on part/feature availability for production. Force Touch ID parts have low yield? Bring back the old home button for the 7SE and save the fancy one for the 7SE+. An so on.
Although the ip7 will be what it is, I can't understand some people's rabid desire to remove the physical home button.
I often grab for my phone in the dark and the only way I can FEEL which way is up is be feeling for the depression of the home button. If it didn't have one, that'd be a big fat fail in my book.

I think you guys are in the minority this time. But hey, Samsung note 7 looks pretty awesome!
I'll wait till september but if there isn't some hidden feature like wireless charging to turn things around, share value will drop and there will be calls to dump Timmy
The Note 7 does look nice. But I remain faithful to the core with Apple. I hope their are a few features that have not leaked yet. I love surprises!
Conflicting rumors ...
Anyone remember before the 4s came out? We saw many "leaks" of the slanted back iPhone 5...it never happened, in fact the 5 was delayed so they just gave the single core A4 iPhone 4 a dual-core and called it A5 and 4s.
It's possible some of the leaks are from 2016 iPhone and some from 2017 prototypes, (and some are just fakes).

My 6s Plus is already showing its age. Had to have it replaced yesterday due to battery issues. Was trying to hold out for another 6 weeks, but I couldn't.
