Fresh speculations suggest that the iPhone 7 will be arriving with a refreshed design that will result in the removal of antenna bands and the camera hump.

The first one is that the iPhone 7 will not be featuring a camera hump for its rear shooter. The iPhone 6S as well as the older iPhone 6 both feature protruding cameras. The iPhone 7 Plus is expected to house a dual-camera system but the iPhone 7 is rumoured to feature a conventional camera that is expected to lay flat on its chassis.

The other design modification that will be seen on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus smartphones is the removal of antenna lines from the rear panel. This will enable the iPhone 7 models to sport a neater appeal. The antenna bands that are present on the edges and at the top and bottom will remain unchanged.

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus smartphones are also expected to carry support for wireless charging. Rumours have also been suggesting that the successor smartphones for the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus will not feature a 3.5 mm audio jack. In order to listen to music, users will have to connect a wired headset to the Lightning port or instead make use of a Bluetooth headset.

In March, Apple is expected to introduce a new 4-inch smartphone called the iPhone 5se. It will be launched as an upgraded version of the iPhone 5S with a full-metallic design. It is expected to come with specs like Apple A9, 1 GB of RAM, NFC, Wi-Fi, and support for Live Photos.
