New High-Resolution Photos Depict Gold iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus

Looks good, can't wait to pre-order the iPhone 7 Plus, that dual camera will be worth the protruding lense. I'm betting Apple come along with the iPhone 7 and beat Samsung to be the best in low light again. On another note all you need to do is take a look at IOS 10 see that the iPhone 7 will have a force touch home button. Whoever said that the 7 and 7 Plus won't be worth the upgrade is wrong in my opinion, the dual lense camera will be worth it alone.

I think Apple pushes these leaks on us so much in order to avoid the shock of how ugly the phone is.

I used to find the dual camera design horrible, but seeing it so much, I've grown to... like it?!

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!

I think I tried to sum it up a few weeks back -


What Apple has managed well with these leaks in recent years is to control the 5 stages of grief with early leaks of all the ugly/boring "features" such as camera bumps, antenna bands, same old colour options etc. -

1. Denial: "That can't be the iPhone 7, you'll see when it comes out, obviously a render! Fools!"

2. Anger: "If that's the iPhone 7 I'm outta here, FFS what's Jony Ive doing?? All those billion$!"

3. Bargaining: "It'll be ok as long as they put a bigger battery in it, if they make it thicker and remove the bump..."

4. Depression: "It looks like this is it, may as well keep my iPhone 5 for another year, Apple are nothing without Jobs"

5. Acceptance: "Ah well, it's not that bad, the camera will be better and the new processor will be faster, it's ok!"

>> it's believed subtle changes to the line's longest-living features, like a potential shift in how the Home Button looks and functions, could be an attractive selling point for customers. <<

Had to laugh at that statement. So going from a moving home button to one that buzzes instead is a selling point? Removal of headphone jack a selling point? Come on, these are downsides, few are wanting that.

Guessing the upsides for the buyers might be Image Stabilization on main camera for the base 7 (yeah), even better security design than the prior models at the hardware level (yeah), then the usual upgrade stuff (faster processor, longer battery life blah blah blah).

Will be interesting to see what the actual updates are. There are alot of 2 year old 6's waiting to be upgraded, but phones that look the same from 3 feet away aren't a good "pull" for the people who want to be noticed. Adding a bunch of different colors (blue, green, yellow, red) would have been a easy move to ensure those sales & looked great in advertisements.

If this is indeed the next iPhone design, it should be called the iPhone 6SE, instead of iPhone 7. The design changes are only "tweaks" and not a full redesign as they used to do every 2 years. But Apple is all about profit margins now and only cares about money, thanks to Tim Cook.

I'd love to see some type of rich blue colored option come to the iPhone. That rumored image from earlier this summer and I think a mock up of it looked rather nice.

I don't think you'll get the rich blue of the render whether they make blue or not - look at the gold and pink, all the colours are light metallics rather than something particularly classy.
 
These are definitely fake. Take a look at the Apple logo on the back. You can see its embossed with the logo seemingly sunk down into the body of the phone.

Apple has never done that. Sir Jony would have an aneurysm seeing that. The logo is always perfectly flush with the surface.

FAKE. FAKE. FAKE
 
I hope the camera will not impede its use with current battery case. Don't want to shell out another £80 for one of those.

Wouldn't it be great if this phone design was invented by Apple to throw everyone off the scent, and they have actually created something exciting we haven't seen yet... I live in hope. :(

Considering the resources Apple have, it's depressing that their products have become so dull.

Maybe Tesla might consider developing Phones etc... Now that's a company to get excited about.

As a iPhone 5 user, I really expecting iPhone 7 for camera itself with RAW shooting feature from iOS 10. That's the biggest change for me but overall, it didn't change that much. I wonder about the image quality since iPhone 6 series achieved the worst image quality compare to other brands such as Samsung which is very shameful.
 
Sexy protusions...
Look, we made your iPhone slimmer, don't worry about the bigger protusion it's thinner, battery life has increased by 5 minutes but don't worry it's slimmer.

That bevel around the camera is hideous. I really hope this is a hack job done by someone in his basement and not actual photos.
