Steve would **** himself at the sight of those camera bumps. They look uglier and more out of place than ever.
FCC logo present on the back of the devices. It's not on the 6 as the regulations were relaxed, meaning it doesn't need to be etched on the rear. Therefore, I call BS.
Apple doesn't put FCC symbols on the backs of their phones anymore.
Whatever you call this 2016 iPhone doesn't change the fact that it is the biggest disappointment in the smartphone's history.
why they couldn't conceal those antenna bands with 6/6s series?
I remember blinded fanboys where saying bs like how it's wasn't possible due to metal body etc..I'm interested to know what they say now?
it's not like it an engineering achievement or something that magnitude to come up with this simple design alternation to hide this awful bands.my point is they should have tried harder with the 6/6s series.their design was flawed.for sure.
that being said,the camera lens on 7 looks awful.and affects the overall design in a vey bad way.so much worse than 6 series.it's huge and that hump around it looks as if phone had impact damage or something.looks ridiculous.
luckily I won't be buying iPhone 7 as I just upgraded to 6s.I couldn't be happy with this design.

Personally I like the current design of the antennas on the 6 chassis better. The back just seems so empty on the 7.
Same old two years design, camera bump made more uglier headphones jack removed and this is innovation.rather than inventing something new they are now removing the features that millions of people use every day

the antenna bands are no longer in your face.magically it become possible to hide them.
that's an improvement,although at the cost of that huge hump lens..
This CANNOT be the new iPhone. It looks the same or, arguably, worse than the current iPhone. And the one before that. And the one before that.
This: also 2 years since last redesign and this is all they can do? And the response is they are saving it for 10th anniversary? They have no regard for their customers cause they know we will all buy it cause we want the better camera and our phones are probably scratched and so on..
They look pretty good. Fake or not, I'm digging the design. I use the apple leather case so how the phone looks at the back doesnt really affect me. I just want those ugly bezels to shrink a bit with a better screen (hoping for 2k on the plus).
Im also starting to like that camera bump. The iPhone 6/s camera seems to be a seperate component, but this looks more natural and apart of the enclosure. Honestly, it might not be the best of upgrades, but ill take it. As one of the first commenters stated, i do think these are purposely done by Apple to make us get over the changes. Who knows. Its getting closer to the date though. Nek minute the unboxing videos!

Second camera seems like a waste of space.
This, on the other hand...

I'm hoping that the individuals creating these mock-ups (I am quite certain that this, for example, is not a legitimate model) are going off of previous leaks and not off of any primary source information.
I think there is a very slim chance that none of these leaks represent the final look of the iPhone 7.

Don't keep us in the dark! Com'on! Let us know what is is! Please!
If these really are the new iPhones then the design is truly ugly. They both look incredibly cheap with the protruding camera and the dual lens is almost comically bad. Also I think that if Apple continue to diverge on features and models it'll turn out to be a bad move. The lineup used to be so simple and clean, much like the designs used to be...
The style was dated the minute they showed it off at the iPhone 6 presentation. Bezels for days. However you are wrong about removing the headphone jack to make it thinner. More than likely it's to make room for other features or bigger battery. Every millimeter of space in these small devices is sacred. Why waste it if you don't need to?
You'll be able to zoom in and retain quality. It'll also capture better pictures in low-light.
