What a hoot!
A Japanese blogger citing an unnamed source. Yep, must be true. Certainly enough to get people who lack the ability to assess reliable "information" all frothed up along with a good case of the shakes. And a s**t ton of clicks!

The folks at Apple are really losing steam, aren't they?
Too many Macrumors readers assume they're the vast majority of Apple customers, and this just isn't so. I would expect this rumor holds some water, the average Apple customer cares little about LED vs OLED vs LCD, they don't care about frameless/bezel-less displays until Apple shows them it exists... then sure.
New colors... that basic aspect appeals to them.
I worked in the retail stores for 6 years, everyone on this forum is a minority in their wishes and expectations of Apple.

The reason why Apple will have a 7s model is because they still have not perfected the 6.
In a couple years we will get a redesign, but only after Apple gets the iPhone 6 design right. Maybe iPhone 8s will be the last 6 design?

No 10th anniversary blow us away design? Wireless charging is cool and I'd love that. Hoping for a bit more than a red colour though!
It's what they've done with their phones thus far.
iPhone -> 3GS: Same basic design
iPhone 4 -> 5s: Same basic design
iPhone 6 -> 7: Same basic design
So, realistically, no one should have expected a truly new design until iPhone 8. But, TBH, the current design is not terrible at all; so not sure if legitimately disappointed or just trolling.
They're likely keeping the existing design to force people to the third/glass model (which will likely have a $200 premium, i.e. starts at $969 w/ 128GB of storage) This will undoubtedly push the ASP up, and that's Cooks only 'innovation' for the company ... sales numbers.
No... why not produce a elegant gloss white like the jet black. Or hey why not do a nice ocean dark blue color like they were rumored to make before. Let's make a "hey look at me with my new iPhone! See the new color!! LOOK AT ME!" Red. I know it's a rumor, I'm kidding.
Oh now that's realistic!
That's more realistic than an all-glass bezel-free iPhone with wireless charging

Are u kidding me??? No iPhone X or 8 or whatever they want to call it???
Iphone 7 is actually an iPhone 6SS. Not worth the full number upgrade.
Apple is losing it. Sad but true.

I have a hard time believing this. We're talking the 10th anniversary of the phone - and they will continue with the same design since 2014? I even have a hard time believing red will be a color option. Apple has been lacking a lot lately but I just can't see them being THIS stupid.
It's 10 months away...maybe 6 until we get a real sense of what it will look like though leaked images. I'm not buying these early rumors.

If this rumour indeed turns out true, definitely - with no doubts.
I would be surprised if Apple do drop the ball like this given it is the 10th anniversary of the iPhone.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Cook continues raising prices to disguise dropping sales...the guy is a moron and he's no good for Apple. TIM NEEDS TO GO.
Ya know what... I genuinely never realized that until you wrote how the designs looked the same every two iterations. Crap. Thank for bringing that one to light. Not being a dick, this is genuinely what I looked like when I read your post.

Completely wrong!
iPhone- original design (aluminum back)
iPhone 3G/3GS- new design (plastic/curved back)
iPhone 4/4s- new design (glass flat back)
iPhone 5/5s - new design (larger phone)
iPhone 6/6s/7/7s - same damn phone for FOUR years! (If rumor turns out to be true).
Perfect. We'll put together a MacRumors protest meet-up.
So what he is saying is that I'm stuck with my 6+ until 2018?
Thanks Samsung for screwing Note 7, now Apple is confident of pushing its redesign program further!!! I blame Samsung for this!
