Apple iPhone 7 Rumors: Leaked Case Reveals Four Speaker Grilles, Improved Rear Camera With OIS

A leaked photo of iPhone 7 case built by an Italian case maker has surfaced, showing that the Apple iPhone 7 could feature four external speakers. Moreover, it has also revealed that the smartphone could feature a large-sized rear camera.

The images of the iPhone 7 case that have been revealed by NowhereElse shows that it will feature two speaker grillers on its topside as well as another two speaker grilles at its bottom. Most iPhone 7 rumors have suggested that instead of a single external speaker that is available on iPhone 6S, its successor will come with a pair of stereo speakers, 9to5Mac reported.

Previous rumors have suggested that the iPhone 7’s design will be identical to that of iPhone 6S. However, the newly leaked photo of the iPhone 7 case does not corroborate with the recent rumors.

On the iPhone 6S, the LED flash is placed beside the camera, but in the iPhone 7 case image, the LED flash can be seen located below the camera. Moreover, the camera hole also appears to be larger than the one present on iPhone 6S. This indicates that the iPhone 7 may arrive with improvements to the rear camera.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S smartphones do not have Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) feature for their rear cameras. However, the feature is available on iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6S Plus. According to Barron’s Asia, Chris Chang, an analyst from Nomura Securities, has predicted that OIS will be available on iPhone 7 as well as iPhone 7 Plus.

The hole for 3.5 mm audio jack is not present on the leaked image, indicating that the iPhone 7 will not feature a 3.5 mm audio jack but will support headphone connectivity through Lightning port and Bluetooth wireless headphones.
