Series of photos show off the Apple iPhone 7's rear cover and a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter

We are probably six to seven weeks away from the unveiling of the Apple iPhone 7 and Apple iPhone 7 Plus. As we get closer to the introduction of the new models, the number of leaks increase exponentially. Today, several photographs showing off what is alleged to be the rear cover of the Apple iPhone 7 were discovered on a Weibo site.

By now, the look of the device has been seared into your brain. The antenna lines are located on the top and bottom edges of the phone. The 3.5mm earphone jack is gone, replaced by a second grille. And there is the larger camera lens on the phone's back cover. Unless Apple has pulled off a tremendous hoax, we already have seen what the iPhone 7 will look like.

Another picture leaked today from the same Weibo site shows images related to an adapter that will allow an iPhone owner to use his/her favorite earphones with the iPhone 7. The 3.5mm male plug from the earphone is connected to this adapter, which is then plugged into the Lightning port on the phone. Apple is rumored to be including a similar adapter with the iPhone 7, along with a pair of EarPods.

Since the legitimacy of the photos is unknown, we do suggest that you take these pictures with the proverbial grain of salt.
