The Telegraph has reported that the online store behind the alleged leaks also has a blue version, but reports suggest that if Apple is to release an additional colour it will be “space black”.

Apple had moved away from a glass body for its phones when the iPhone 5 was released in 2012. According to Forbes, Evan Blass has confirmed that the previously rumored launch date is true and that iPhone 7 will be debuting on september 7, with Blass stating that the Cupertino giant really loves Wednesdays. There’s no angle showing the bottom of each handset, although it’s unlikely there is any evidence of a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. The device is expected to come out in 2017. However, certain design changes can be easily spotted, including single antenna lines on the back of the phone, a redesigned camera and the absence of the headphone jack, which is replaced by what appears to be a second speaker. But we have seen iPhone 7 design drawings in the past that show not every hole on one set of speaker grilles will be drilled all the way through.

Instead, when the button is pushed down, a discrete vibration will be felt.

A source said: “Current home buttons are switches that physically press into the phone, but the new models will have a pressure-sensitive button that employs so-called haptic feedback to simulate a click using the same approach as Force Touch”. “Apple spokesman Bill Evans declined to comment”, Gurman wrote on his column for the media outlet earlier this week.
