14 DAY TRIAL // The iPhone 7 is projected to launch in September, and photos and videos of this new model have already reached the web several times before, but here’s a new clip providing us with the closest and clearest look at Apple’s new product.
This video published by NWE shows what's said to be a fake iPhone 7 purchased from China that integrates all the changes that have been rumored lately, including a new and larger camera unit that’s moved closer to the top left corner, as well as the overly discussed antenna lines that are now placed at the top and the bottom of the phone.
As you can see, the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 7 (although this is a clone) are super similar, and we expect dimensions of the two handsets to be identical - rumor has it that the new model will be 1mm thinner than the existing one, but you’ll barely see that when using the device or holding it in hand.
Bye-bye, headphone jack!
And for the one millionth time, this video confirms that the headphone jack will no longer be there on the upcoming iPhone. While the reason for removing the 3.5mm audio port is not yet known, it’s believed that Apple wants to get rid of it in order to make more room inside for a bigger battery, but also to pave the way for bigger changes on the 2017 model.
The audio jack will be replaced with a secondary speaker grille, but it’s very important to note that the iPhone 7 won’t be stereo, only that it’ll offer another speaker grille, which would most likely make the device a bit louder.
The only port will be the Lightning one, which will be used for all purposes, including charging and listening to music. Rumor has it that Apple will offer a new type of headphones in the box featuring this kind of connector, but adapters will also be sold separately.
Given the fact that this video shows an iPhone prototype, there are some chances that it could be slightly inaccurate, although we expect these to be the real changes coming on the iPhone 7. Confirmation will finally be provided in September, when the iPhone 7 sees daylight.
