New photos of an iPhone 7 rear cover have allegedly leaked online. Unlike other leaks we've seen in the past this cover has four speaker grilles similar to the iPad Pro. Previous rumors have suggested two speakers for stereo sound but this is the first time we've seen a leak predicting four.

The images also show a larger camera cutout and a repositioned flash. Earlier this month, leaked schematics also showed the larger cutout prompting speculation that Apple plans to improve the camera on the 4.7-inch iPhone as well. In those drawings the flash was positioned to the right of the lens as opposed to underneath it.

As with numerous other reports the rear casing does not have a headphone jack and the antenna bands have been simplified.

They should figure out a way to hide the camera lens behind the Apple logo (behind a one-way glass of sorts) so we don't have to look at it at all! Problem solved.

Then that means no way for the phone to sit on flat surface properly and would mean having to bulk the phone like the 5s this time and of course not having the lens be able to shoot anything.

As for me it looks like fake case... What is that new color? I never sow something similar from Apple.

Looks like an iPod next gen device.

Doubt it. If this was the iPod, the color here would look a bit more bright and the camera would have the position like older models and the antenna shaped like the iPhone dual camera except flushed and permanently black.

By definition, speakers need to be a good distance from each other to achieve stereo sound. It makes absolutely no sense for something as small as a phone to have stereo speakers. Therefore I call it nonsense.

gamerscul9870 - May 23, 2016 at 12:37pm

Or you could just blast the volume as high as possible, but to be a certain distance to 'achieve' it? If it's stereo speakers, it's stereo.

dkdk - May 23, 2016 at 2:48pm

No, it's not. Definition of stereo: "sound that is directed through two or more speakers so that it seems to surround the listener and to come from more than one source; stereophonic sound." If the speakers are only a couple inches apart, it serves no purpose. And I think we can all agree that Apple would not do a gimmicky thing that serves no purpose in terms of quality of sound.

HTC has speakers that are stereo to but are only in the bottom front. Guess that doesn't count to huh?

dkdk - May 24, 2016 at 9:53am

If you don't like the definition of stereo, write to Websters Dictionary and tell them it's wrong. Or talk to any sound engineer and tell him to quit his job and go raise chickens instead. Stereo sound is only useful when speakers are far apart, or you're wearing headphones.

what happened to 'all glass'?

Charlie Mix - May 23, 2016 at 10:49am

All glass is the rumored big reveal for the 10th year iPhone anniversary (next year).

Am I the only one who realises the smart connector is being disguised for some reason?

magnum14.7 - May 23, 2016 at 5:35am

if its iPhone 7 i will buy it!

JuergenWest - May 23, 2016 at 3:09am

What's the deal with half the image being heavily pixilated to disguise something important, probably the only part of this image that matters. The apple cut out is for the chrome Apple logo.

Smart connector

It's a case with a tiger or lion face on it. Go to appleinsider. They have a more in depth article about this.

Evasion - May 23, 2016 at 2:17am

If real schematics then the apple cutout leads to thoughts of Apple icon somehow showing light. Either way we will see soon enough.

gamerscul9870 - May 23, 2016 at 2:26am

iPad Pro has the 4 speakers to and it doesn't light up, so the iPhone may be following some or even all of iPad Pro's footsteps into what it's evolving into. I do think the smart connector could be used for something else on the iPhone though.

Pretender - May 23, 2016 at 1:51am

I don't believe this and I will wait for new iPhone release.

You don't have a choice : )
