By now, most of us are already aware that Apple will be unveiling its 2016 flagship smartphones – the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, sometime next month. Over the past few months, we have come across a lot of leaks hinting at the design, features and specifications of the new iPhones. But today’s leak raises more questions than clearing existing one. Accoding to 9to5mac a handful of sketchy photos have surfaced online showing off the product packing and pamphlets of an alleged iPhone 6 SE. Yes, you read it right, and if you’re confused too, here’s why the latest leak does not make any sense.
Apple launched the iPhone SE, which was the upgraded version of the iPhone 5s featuring a familiar compact design with 4-inch display, and the latest hardware from iPhone 6s. As the iPhone SE was launched just few months ago, we’re not expecting an upgrade soon. Also, the iPhone 6 already has its successor – the iPhone 6s.
Even if we were to consider earlier rumors that Apple won’t launch the iPhone 7 this year and instead call it the iPhone 6 SE, the packaging looks fake. First off, the lighting condition is pretty dull, which we can’t usually complaint about the leaks, but still it looks like, someone with good Photoshop skills has used the iPhone SE and iPhone 6 packaging to blend it together and make it look authentic. The ‘SE’ label extends higher than on the one seen on the iPhone SE box. Anyway, with Apple rumored to launch the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus onSeptember 7, everything would be clarified.
Both smartphones are also expected to drop support for 3.5mm audio port, and come with improved water and dust resistance capabilities. The ugly antenna bands on the back are also expected to be moved along the top and bottom edges. Lastly, the home button on the front is expected to be capacitive touch one, with Force Touch feature. If all these changes are taken into account, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will still bring massive upgrades over the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.
