iPhone 7 Release Date News: Concept Design Shows No Antenna Bands, Flush Rear Camera And More

The rumored "iPhone 7" isn't expected to make its debut until later this year, but we're already getting our first hints of what the new smartphones design will look like.

According to MacRumors, a reliable source informed the site that Apple will stick to the design found on the iPhone 6 and 6s with two major exceptions. The first revolves around the camera, which is said to sit flush with the rear casing. This is obviously different than the iPhone 6 and 6s design which protrudes slightly on both devices.

Recent rumors say Apple is planning to equip the "iPhone 7" with a dual-lense rear camera but this latest design concept shows us the company may stick with a traditional camera.

The second significant change is the removal of antenna bands across the rear of the device. Removing the bands from the back give the device a more clean, sleeker look. There will still be antenna bands on the phone at the sides, top and bottom edges of the device.

From the image we cannot tell if the device will be thinner than its predecessors, but it's safe to assume that it will be. Check out the latest concept design below courtesy of MacRumors:
