Theres little doubt that the iPhone 7 release date will be in September and include a new design, but now hearing were what that may in fact mean for the phone thanks to a new report today.
Apple is doing away with the much-maligned iPhone camera bump that made the lens protrude from the body of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, according to MacRumors.
This particular design choice made its debut in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus back in 2014, and critics often compared the phone to a wobbly bar stool when trying to lay it flat on a surface.
That wont be a problem for iPhone 7 owners in 2016, if this report is true. Its said to sit flush with the rest of the aluminum back, and the rear antenna lines are supposed to be gone, too.
While the same clean look may come to the iPhone 7 Plus, there are also rumors that itll add a dual-camera system, so theres no telling if Apples phablet will continue to need to jut out.
Not the next iPhone
iPhone 7 is unlikely to be the next iPhone announced, simply because Apple is thought to be readying a smaller iPhone 5SE as early as next month.
This 4-inch iPhone, once dubbed the iPhone 6C, is rumored to contrast with the flagship iPhone by combining current iPhone 6S specs with a small-hand-friendly design that is closer to the iPhone 5S.
Apples widely reported, but so-far-unconfirmed March 15 event is said to include a lineup of new phones, tablets and wearables: iPhone 5SE, iPad Air 3 and new Apple Watch bands.
As for the iPhone 7, theres seven months in between now and its expected September debut, so stay tuned for more design rumors, especially if Junes iOS 10 beta gives us additional hints.
