Second iPhone 7 grill might not be a speaker at all

Even if Apple likes to keep its business (their unannounced products mostly) under wraps until the last possible moment and, in the same time to troll its fan-base, leaks are unavoidable and the way of the world sort to speak.

Apple’s reported decision to drop the iPhone 7 headphone socket would, so the leaks suggested, soften the blow by delivering more powerful sound from the handset overall, but new information suggests that may not actually be the case. Renders of the HTC Nexus Marlin and Nexus Sailfish first leaked in July, and those images were quickly followed up with a video detailing their design later in the month.

The latest iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus leak comes in the form of several images, which show the smartphones in various color options. I’m not sure what “strobe lens” refers to, but it says the same for the main camera on the back (second image, H12).

Now, as with any leak – whether iPhone 7 related or otherwise – it’s obviously worth taking this diagram with the proverbial pinch of salt. Letting the cat out of the bag about the front flash according to the news it might be present. Despite these changes, the screen size of iPhone 7 will remain 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches, same as 6s and 6s Plus, respectively. However, the technology is still being considered, so it is not expected that the new frame will make it to this year’s iPhone 7. Aside from removing the headphone jack however, the iPhone 7 will mostly be like the iPhone 6s, save for the transferred antenna lines that account for minor redesign.

The price of the upcoming release is also unknown at this stage.

Hence, wait for the Apple phone will sting in the tummy like a butterfly until it releases in the month of September.
