Based on what this is worth...no dual speakers. Only one of the grills has actual holes drilled lol

Two things -
1. Anyone realised the Bezels on the sides are much thinner now? Looks good. (EDIT: Nevermind, can't tell from an all-black front)
2. 3.5mm audio jack is gone.sh*t

Like it or not, it's still going to sell like hot cake and make Apple billions.
Or, it's going to go horribly this year and to compensate for it they give us and all out improved iPhone [insert 7/8/SE/S/Pro]
They will make a lot of money for sure. And they'll tighten supply lines to create artificial demand at launch. But you can bank on sales being MUCH weaker. Now that phones aren't subsidized, a lot of owners aren't going to jump back into higher payments for this device. There are no new launch countries to prop up sales numbers.
But because Apple makes so much profit per device, they'll just focus on those results and be perfectly happy.
And again protruding camera looks fugly

This will be Apple's worst release without a doubt if the rumors turn out to be even close to true.
This might be a stupid question, but what is that thing above the power/sleep button on the right side of the device?
I like the design and feel of my 6s. I do not really see a need to change the form factor. What I think is important is to improve the screen (4k, OLED, etc), sound quality, Ability to use it more than 10 hours, waterproofing, stronger glass, faster processor, faster GPU, faster wifi, faster LTE. This is what is exciting. Making it thinner or more square versus rounded -- really? That is what we worry about?
I really think Apple can do better than these renders with that dual lens camera they all seem to just look wrong
The second speaker is revolutionary!!! It will come handy when I will be looking for my dongle for my headphones, or when I will be trying to pair my bluetooth earbuds unsuccessfully in crowded environments.
Who do you think they are, HTC? Apple doesn't do that. Change the flawless and everlasting design of the iPhone.

It's going to be so revolutionary...
The 5, 5s and SE have a double grille on the bottom for a symetrical look. Only 1 is the speaker, the other being the microphone. I don't think such an expectation means stereo speakers, which would be better served being on top and bottom anyway... it's just one of the many things that looks better in the design of the 5 family over the 6 family.
MacBooks have been differentiated like this for a long time - larger screens come with faster processors, more ports and... heftier price.
If the larger space allows the Plus to have additional features why hamstring it?
I'm calling it right now - at least 50% of you who think this design looks 'boring' will be eating your words the second Apple puts out some press photos.
Don't care much about stereo speakers. I always have headphones connected anyway.
Oh wait, I won't be able to use my current headphones without what will probably be a $20 adapter.

So it's basically a 6S with no earphone port and a better camera.
Will be sticking with my 6S plus very pleased with this phone

wow stereo speakers for a cell phone, man it feels great to be in 2011!
They're going to sound like **** anyway; I don't really see the point in eliminating the headphone jack in favour of a second speaker.
‘Stereo’?
Really, who has ears close enough for that to qualify as ‘stereo’?!
