Photos of the alleged iPhone 7 were leaked on Monday via Chinese social media site Weibo, which was spotted by a Czech Apple blog letemsvetemapplem.eu and AppleInsider.
The leak appears to show the smaller 4.7-inch model and not the 5.5-inch Plus model, which is rumored to have a dual camera as well as a Smart Connector on the bottom. The device pictured in the leak has neither of those features.
Apart from that, the leaked device is very similar to previous leaks and stays true to the some of rumors we've come across.
The similarities to previous rumors include redesigned antenna bands that wrap around the top and bottom edges of the device instead of going across the back. We're also getting the sense that the iPhone 7 will look almost identical to the iPhone 6 generation, at least from the back.

It also looks like the camera "bulge" is still there, despite some reports that the camera would be flush with the back casing.
AppleInsider also spotted a new feature that hasn't been included in any previous rumor so far.
There's a second port hole underneath the microphone hole between the camera and flash. There's no indication anywhere about what that hole could do. AppleInsider speculates that it could be a secondary microphone for stereo sound recording, but why it's smaller than the other is a mystery.
Our take? It could be another microphone for better ambient noise cancellation during phone calls.
