New photo purports to show 'iPhone 7' shell with single, raised rear camera opening
A new image, claimed to depict a genuine rear shell for Apple's "iPhone 7," may support some other recent leaks pointing to the device's design features.
The part -- shared on Weibo -- has a significantly larger camera opening than the iPhone 6s, though still with an elevated "bump" like that device. This conflicts with one-time rumors that Apple was intending to eliminate the bump, but matches recent schematics leaks and another supposed shell piece.
If the new part is authentic, it would discredit a dummy shell that emerged over the weekend, since the latter positioned the flash under the camera lens, instead of to the side. The dummy also featured four speaker ports, whereas rumors have pointed to the "iPhone 7" having two at most.
Also present on the new part are relocated antenna bands, found only across the top and bottom edges, instead of across the back like all 6-series iPhones. Reports have almost universally supported this change.
While the shell's authenticity is difficult to gauge, 9to5Mac noted that the source previously leaked an accurate iPhone 6 design.
Apple is expected to ship two new iPhones this September. The second -- a 5.5-inch "Plus" model -- may be the centerpiece with upgrades like a dual-lens camera, 3 gigabytes of RAM, and/or a Smart Connector.

And just out of curiosity, what do you want them to do to the back of the phone that would excite you to upgrade? The majority of people have their phone in cases...
Ha, you don't like something so you have to throw around Steve Jobs name to make your opinion seem more valid. You have no idea what would or wouldn't have passed the "Steve Jobs sniff test". These all passed:
Kinda funny how people get mad at Apple for rumors. Another funny part in the article is where it says "if this rumor is real it discredits the other rumor".
I do prefer these antenna lines than the ones that cross through the back, NOW THOSE are ugly. like iPhone 6, fandroids will reach into the pool of 4,000+ knockoff phones and say Apple copied one of them.
This doesn't make sense no matter which way you read it. Why do trolls have the lowest reading and writing capability?
Oops answered my own question!
Get your 3D printer ASAP.
I still don't know what was so horrible about a "GOLD" iPod Mini. I mean... "GOLD" you gotta be kidding right?
I still have mine. Super collectors item!
Edit: Also, the iBook was a work of genius. Flip-up keyboard for easy upgrade of RAM or "Airport" card (Note; the term "WiFi" hadn't even been invented yet at that time).
Problem is; you're just not looking at these things within their own context.
I don't usually bother to comment on these pictures (a [extra] waste of time). But this is the fakest one I've seen so far.
I can guarantee that Apple would never EVER make a camera lens "bump" with that sharp edge. It would be cutting holes in peoples pockets like a firkin hole-punch.
