Rear case of Apple iPhone 7 leaks sans antenna lines, protruding camera and earphone jack

An image of the rear case allegedly belonging to the Apple iPhone 7 has leaked. A photograph of the inside and outside of the case was taken off of a computer, and appears to have been snapped at Catcher Technologies. The latter is an Apple supplier that produces casings for the iPhone. Instead of the protruding camera seen on the Apple iPhone 6 and Apple iPhone 6s, there is some black material around the rear-camera cutout that was described as a "slight bulging outgrowth."

Other changes include the removal of the antenna lines on the back case, and as expected, the earphone jack has been eliminated. The source of the image says that the casing is thinner than the one used on the iPhone 6s.

The unveiling of the Apple iPhone 7 is still roughly half-a-year away. which means that we should take this image with a grain of salt. However, we should point out that in March 2014, images that were alleged to be that of the Apple iPhone 6 were leaked by a Foxconn employee. Those images turned out to be legitimate.

Also included in the slideshow along with the leaked photo, is a rendering of the back of the iPhone 7 made by an artist.
