No, seriously, what are they thinking with those lines?

The iPhone 7 is projected to debut this September, and leaks are now reaching the web almost on a daily basis, so it’s pretty hard to be surprised whenever a new photo is published.

Today’s leak, for instance, shows almost nothing new about the upcoming iPhone 7 lineup, but at the same time, it confirms that Apple’s planning to go with an approach that makes absolutely no sense.

As you can see in the photos below, Apple will launch the iPhone 7 in several colors, including Rose Gold, Silver, and Dark Gray, and this last version is certainly the only getting all the attention. But unfortunately, not in a good way.

For some reason, Apple thinks this darker iPhone 7 is sexier with white/light gray antenna lines, which is so not! In fact, having a dark iPhone with white antenna lines is like wearing a fuchsia jacket with blue pants, but we’re pretty sure that there’ll always be someone who’ll like this awkward combination. So yes, this iPhone will have its fans too.

Same “old” changes

Other than that, this leak shows pretty much the same thing as all the others, including a new bigger camera, two speakers instead of one (the device will still be mono, though) thanks to the removal of the audio jack, and an all-purpose Lightning connector that will let you charge the iPhone and listen to music (not at the same time, though, for an obvious reason).

And about those antenna lines (no, we really can’t get over this). Samsung has somehow managed to launch the Galaxy S7 with antenna lines that have the same color as the phone, so if you buy a pink phone, you also get pink antenna lines. This helps offer a more consistent look, and in the case of a dark color, everything seems to be blending quite nicely.

This is what could happen with the iPhone 7 too, but for some reason, Apple wants to do things differently. We’re pretty sure we’ll stick with silver, no matter how compelling the dark version will be.
