iPhone 7 Release Date Rumors: Leaked Image Shows Body Of Next Apple Device

The first purported leaks of Apple's forthcoming iPhone 7 design have arrived online thanks to French blog Nowhereelse.fr.

The alleged images come from Taiwanese phone case manufacturer Catcher Technology. The pictures show a subltle chassis redesign for the iPhone 7, which is expected to be released by Apple this fall.

From what we can tell the images are consistent with previous reports that claim Apple's next handset will lack antenna bands across the rear, instead having the antenna bands on the sides and around the top and bottom edges of the device.

Additionally, the images of the rear of the case depict a larger hole for the camera. This does not line up with previous rumors that state the iPhone 7 would incorporate a flush rear camera. The leaker also adds that the device is slightly thinner than the iPhone 6 and that the device does indeed lack the headphone jack port. Check out the images below:

Nowhereelse.fr also posted images allegedly showing dual-lens camera component parts for the iPhone 7 Plus, which is said to be exclusive to the Plus devices.
