Most of the recent rumors on the leaked iPhone 7 is centered to the fact that it will come in three (3) models. The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are more or less guaranteed to be replaced by the new yet to be released iPhone 7 and 7 Plus as the flagships. But news leaks and rumors as it that there may be another model (iPhone 7 Pro or iPhone 7 Plus Premium).
According to Mobipicker, Apple is ramping up production for 3 iPhone models; the iPhone 7, the iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7 Pro. The site further report that the iPhone 7 Pro may go by "The iPhone 7 Plus Premium", but the name is yet to be ascertained. Apparently, these rumored devices are said to be in production.
It is unknown what features will set the third new iPhone 7 model apart from the other models of iPhone, though some rumors hint that there will be a difference in the camera setup.
An image of what may be the iPhone 7 Plus appeared on Bastille Post. The image appeared to show a dual-camera sensor on the back of the device with no antenna lines, and some kind of smart connector.
Foxconn and Pegatron are reportedly building the devices, which are the usual companies that assemble iPhones for Apple. Apparently, the addition of a third iPhone 7 variant will require more staff at assembly plants to meet up with Apple’s production deadlines.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the iPhone 7 will be the thinnest yet at between 6 and 6.5mm thick. That is around the same as the iPad Air 2, and a millimeter thinner than the current generation iPhone. Other reports claimed the iPhone 7 will have the same shape and a very similar overall design to the iPhone 6s before it, but there will be no headphone jack, it will be waterproof, an updated antenna design, and different rear camera designs (including a dual lens camera on some 5.5-inch iPhone 7 models).
The iPhone 7, once available will likely be offered in the same colour options as the iPhone 6S: Silver, Gold, Space Grey and Rose Gold.
Apple is expected to officially introduce and launch the iPhone 7 series in mid-September and start selling the new phones soon after launching. Apple has kept their prices stagnant for the past two iPhone releases and if this continues, the iPhone 7 will probably start at £539 going up to £699 for the 128GB model.
