iPhone 7 screen protector and cases spotted in the wild, new model will not be major refresh

It has been rumoured for a while that the iPhone 7 will not be a massive revolution in design terms to the iPhone 6 and 6s. Instead, it will continue the slim, rounded aesthetic we have seen for the last two generations.

Now we have further proof that could be the case. Literally.

During the Computers Unlimited Exposed event in London, Pocket-lint was told that a series of case designs and a glass screen protector made by Cygnett were not for the iPhone 6, but the iPhone 7. We took photos naturally.

If true they show that the iPhone 7 will look almost identical to before. Indeed, all the case designs that we were told were for the iPhone 7 looked to be wrapped around an iPhone 6s when you could see the handset. This suggests the size will be very similar.

The screen protector, which is designed to stick over the front of a phone to make the glass more sturdy, shows two sensor holes above the front microphone instead of one.

There are reports of some iPhone 6s models having two sensor holes, but this is very rare and we’re not 100 per cent sure as to why. Nor can we work out why Apple would want two sensors on a new device rather than the usual one.

We do advise an element of caution in believing that these are genuinely for an iPhone 7. We were told they were genuine, based on iPhone 7 design specs, but cannot corroborate that claim officially.

One thing’s for sure, this isn’t the last leak we’ll see or hear about on the build up to September.
