News & Reviews:   Apple iPhone 7 announce

Today, a blog from France, Nowhereelse.fr posted some leaked images of an iPhone prototype case. Now that may seem like it's nothing new, but here's the catch; the cover case has four separate speakers.

The next update for the Apple iPhone is due to arrive by late this year, and more leaked info of the upcoming phone is appearing in bigger numbers online. Now we are getting rumours that the upcoming Cupertino smartphone may be using something from Intel, a brand is usually associated with their laptops. 

We have talked many times over the possible leaked design of the upcoming Apple iPhone 7. This latest image leak may be the clearest of them all. The photo shows the dual-lens design of the upcoming higher spec smartphone from Cupertino.

If you're an Apple fan and like reading rumours, chances are you've heard that the upcoming Apple iPhone 7 will look quite similar to the iPhone 6s which sounds kind like a bummer. However, Apple blogger John Gruber thinks otherwise, and he has shared some interesting information about next year's iPhone design.

The next generation of the Apple iPhone is set to be one of the more speculated and leaked. We have seen that it may have an audio jack, or may not. It may be water proof, and it even may have a zoom lens. The latest report states that the Apple iPhone 7 may just share dimensions with the current Apple iPhone 6S Plus. 

After many different leaks that suggests that the upcoming Apple iPhone will not have any 3.5mm audio jack, the latest leak that we got online suggests the opposite. A new report has contradicted all of the previous leaks, with new internal parts of the upcoming Apple iPhone 7 showing the presence of the audio jack for headphones.

In the past, there have been several rumours claiming that Apple iPhone 7 might be waterproof. Although this is not common in most of Apple's rumours this rumour supposedly came from Apple's supply chain in Taiwan mentioning the same thing. The supply chain rumours indicate that the phone will be fully waterproof and dustproof. Besides that, another report is also stating that Apple is currently testing a touch-sensitive home button instead of a physical one. Furthermore, the touch-sensitive home button will also be 3D-Touch-enabled, which means it would be pressure-sensitive.

A recent patent filing may shed some clue to the camera mechanics of the upcoming Apple iPhone 7. The patent shows a periscope-like design for the camera sensor and zoom mechanics. This allows the module to be small and compact, and yet still allow zoom lens in the phone body. 

We're still a long way from Apple iPhone 7 in a few months, and rumours about the new smartphone are slowly coming back online. Our favourite and reliable Apple speculator, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo have released a new report about Apple might switch back to non-aluminum casing, which could mean glass could make a return to the Apple iPhone line-up.

Just recently, French leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer shared some pictures of some protective casing prepared for Apple's upcoming smartphone. While this may not seem like exciting news, one thing that we should note that the casing has a rather large space for the rear camera, and the lack of 3.5mm headphone jack hole.
