iPhone 7 spy shot offers a clearer look at its camera

The larger camera and cleaner design are unmistakable.

If you're wondering what the iPhone 7 should look like when it's more than just a bare shell covered in watermarks, look no further. NowhereElse.fr has obtained a leaked photo that appears to offer an exceptionally clear, more complete view of Apple's upcoming handset. The snapshot of the device sample shows that, yes, the standard-sized future iPhone should have a much larger, protruding camera lens (and presumably a larger sensor) along with cleaner antenna lines. While there's no guarantees that this is exactly what Apple will launch later this year, we believe this photo was taken outside of the offices of Lite-On, a company with expertise optical and power supply technologies. It's possible that someone brought the iPhone chassis to Lite-On or a nearby firm for testing.

The shot doesn't verify other rumored details, such as the absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack, dual-SIM support or increased storage. And is the camera higher resolution, or will Apple offer a similar resolution and improve image quality (such as low light performance) instead? We'd add that this doesn't show the larger iPhone 7 Plus, which is widely rumored to have dual rear cameras that would improve focusing and overall fidelity. This may not be the last leak you see, but we have a hunch that you won't get all the answers until Apple holds its iPhone launch event sometime in the weeks ahead.
