Apple is famous for its ability to keep a secret. But consistent leaks have shown the company’s upcoming iPhone 7 may be both more boring and more controversial than anyone expected. And now it seems Apple’s biggest secrets really have spilled…
This week both myself and MacRumors were approached independently by different Apple accessory retailers who produced iPhone 7 cases that match exactly. The result is enlightening but also disappointing.
Instead
what we see is a more symmetrical design keeping the Lightning port in
the middle but allowing for a pair of speakers either side. Supply chain
contacts tell me Apple is still testing both single and dual speaker
variants of the iPhone 7, but it appears the company has now settled on
significantly boosting its external audio.
This may prove some consolation for those disappointed by the loss of the headphone jack and prospect of needing a Lighting port adaptor.
