This may be your very first look at iPhone 7. French website NoWhereElse has obtained alleged technical drawings of iPhone 7.
The leaked images show a redesigned rear case without the rubber-like antenna bands that are currently there on iPhone 6/6s models. The antenna bands are said to help network signals pass through the smartphone's aluminum bodies.
For iPhone 7, Apple has reportedly built a new type of smart material that eliminates the need for these rubber stripes.
The image also hints at camera upgrade. While an upgrade for the camera is very much expected, the image shows a significantly bigger camera module than the one on iPhone 6, 6s. This means that the camera on iPhone 7 may protrude less than the current camera.
The leaks have also been confirmed by OnLeaks Steve Hemmerstoffer. According to him, iPhone 7 will also be marginally thinner than iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus on dimensions front.
Apple is also said to be gearing up to add a dual-camera system to its new phones. Analysts believe this will help the phone to take much brighter and clearer images, while shrinking down the size.
A smaller camera system could allow the phone's back to be redesigned, and help get rid of the protruding lens. At the moment, that sticks out by a tiny amount, meaning that the phone isn't entirely smooth to the touch and sits slightly off if it is placed down on a table.
The rest of the phone could be slimmed down more, if the system was used. That would be in keeping with reports that the company intends to shrink the size
Apple acquired a camera technology firm, LinX, earlier this year. The company makes similar technologies and it is very likely that new iPhone camera may incorporate it.
