Photos Show First Functional, Powered On iPhone 7

[MacRumors]

While several photos depicting what is believed to be the iPhone 7 have surfaced in recent months, most if not all of the components have been early prototypes, design molds, or well-designed Chinese counterfeits. A new series of photos have leaked, however, that quite possibly could be the real deal.

The first photos of what is claimed to be a real, fully assembled iPhone 7, shared by Chinese repair shop GeekBar on Weibo, show the smartphone in a powered on state running Apple's internal testing software called SwitchBoard. The photos were first spotted and vetted by French website NWE.

The device itself lines up with previous photos, showing no headphone jack, dual speakers, a larger rear-facing iSight camera, and repositioned antenna bands along the rear shell. The device still has a home button, but whether it is touch sensitive as rumored cannot be clearly distinguished.

Apple is widely expected to introduce the tentatively named iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus next month, with noted leaker Evan Blass pointing towards U.S. retail availability on Friday, September 16. If true, Apple could begin pre-orders in first-wave launch countries one week earlier on Friday, September 9.

Unimpressed... Guess I'll hold on to my iPhone 6+ for a few more years.

 

[Mike Oxard]

They don't look blurry enough to be real.

 

[leventozler]

At least we still have the ringer switch.

 

[chrizzz09]

I don't know about you....but that looks like a flush home button. Force Touch Home button confirmed?!

 

[phenste]

Excited to upgrade to a 6s this September!

 

[LukasValine]

I personally like the look of it. The back is cleaner, and the bottom of the phone is symmetrical. I'm actually a fan of the new camera enclosure. The curved aluminum stays consistent with apple's design language.

iPhone 6.5.5?

Again, no point for anyone to upgrade unless they have a 5.

 

[Fall Under Cerulean Kites]

meh. I’ve never liked the design as much as the 5 design. This is so much more slippery.

I will be picking one up however. I have an iPhone 6 and would like to have a faster processor, quicker touch-id, and 3D Touch.

 

[penajmz]

Yawn. Might be the first time I skip a new iPhone.

 

[DogHouseDub]

iphone mini please

In August we usually see the final design leaked, so I guess the previous leaks were correct.
I'm not happy about the 3.5 jack removal, but I'm optimistic about the larger camera, especially the dual sensor on the plus.
I'm not going to buy this iPhone since I'm a 6s owner so I really hope they have a lot more in store for 2017

 

[Pagemakers]

The most underwhelming iPhone ever. The current & new design is ugly compared to the competition. This may be the only iPhone upgrade I will skip.

 

[tito2020]

Its just a phone dont see any difference.

 

[Fall Under Cerulean Kites]

iPhone 6.5.5?

Again, no point for anyone to upgrade unless they have a 5.

New processor? 256gb option? Faster touch ID (as compared to iPhone 6), 3D Touch (again, as compared to iPhone 6)? Improved water resistance? I think there are lots of reasons to upgrade.

 

[iapplelove]

Well this is the new iPhone. I actually prefer the back of my old 6 plus vs this one.

 

[trife]

I feel like I should be excited, but I got nothing.

So physically, this is essentially a 6S/6S+ with less antenna lines and no 3.5mm jack?

Meh.

 

[x-evil-x]

iPhone 6.5.5?

Again, no point for anyone to upgrade unless they have a 5.

Or an iPhone 6+
Apps reload like a bitc*. My iPhone 5 held apps open better than the 6+. The extra ran and improved camera would do it for me.

 

[TurboPGT!]

Generic "its not new looking enough to satisfy my narcissism" post.

 

[A MacBook lover]

Blacks look dark. Is it possible we will see OLED this year? then a edge to edge OLED next year?

 

[tito2020]

Unimpressed... Guess I'll hold on to my iPhone 6+ for a few more years.

Bezel mania!

 

[Mark316]

Can someone tell me if that phone has a low battery it's hard to tell when it's so small.

 

[dieselmcore]

That Camera looks soo wide and out of place, like a v*g on a kardashian.

 

[C7 POWER]

Only hope I have is that the Blue color that leaked is real, if not... I may decide to give the Note 7 a shot for a year until the next iPhone

 

[Mike Oxard]

I don't know about you....but that looks like a flush home button. Force Touch Home button confirmed?!

It looks the same as the one on my 6S to me.
