Until the real thing comes out, we are left with mere rumours from Apple geeks world wide. The latest lead is an image of the backside of the latest Apple iPhone released last month, and new reports are saying that it is, in fact, the real thing.

The iPhone 7 has been assembled by Apple manufacturing partner Catcher Technology.

People are intrigued by the three dots that one can see at the bottom, suggesting Apple may be introducing its Smart Connector port to the new phone – a feature which was debuted with the iPad Pro last year and has only been used to connect keyboard accessories.

It also features a dual camera module.

There are also claims that Apple is working on a new pair of Bluetooth EarPods that will pair and charge through the Lightning port, just like the Apple Pencil does with the iPad Pro.

Rumours have suggested Apple will sell truly wireless Bluetooth earbuds, with separate left and right pieces, alongside the next iPhone. In the box, the “iPhone 7” is rumoured to come with a wired pair of EarPods that will connect via Lightning.

The report also said that the next iPhone will feature two mysterious sensors at the top of the device, though their purpose is unknown. It’s possible that Apple could bring its True Tone display technology from the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, which also relies on a pair of sensors to automatically adjust colors based on ambient light.

Finally, it was said that the “iPhone 7” and “iPhone 7 Plus” will be identical in size to their iPhone 6s series counterparts. That would suggest Appel has no intention to reduce the space located around the 4.7- and 5.5-inch displays.

The iPhone 7 is expected to launch in September and it’s likely to start at the same $649 starting price as Apple’s current flagship handset, the iPhone 6s. We shall have to wait and see.
