There have been previous claims that Apple will be releasing three variants for the iPhone 7, namely the 4.7-inch model and two 5.5-inch models. It was said that one of the larger iPhone 7 models will have a single-lens camera, while the other model will feature a dual-lens camera.
A new 4K video shows the three models side by side, reviving rumors of the alleged iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7 Pro.
The video, which was uploaded to YouTube by Bshop Kuwa, was discovered by Dutch blog TechTastic. The uploader is seemingly connected to an iPhone reservation store in Japan.
In the video, three iPhone models are featured, with a gold 4.7-inch iPhone, a rose gold 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus and a silver 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Pro. True enough, the iPhone 7 Plus packs a single-lens camera, while the iPhone 7 Pro is shown to have a dual-lens camera.
Does the video confirm the fact that Apple is releasing two models for the larger iPhone 7? Users who are looking forward to such an announcement may want to lower their expectations.
While it may have been possible that Apple has been working on two prototypes for the larger iPhone 7, the rumor has since been shot down several times, including by reliable tipster Evan Blass. Blass said last month that there will only be two iPhone 7 models that will be rolled out this year, with the code names of the smartphones being Sonora and Dos Palos.
An earlier report claimed that the 5.5-inch model going to production is what was termed as the iPhone 7 Pro, with a dual-lens camera and RAM of 3 GB.
It should also be noted that the model numbers of the three iPhone models in the video are shown to be A1429, which corresponds to the iPhone 5 in the numbering scheme of Apple. This signals that the devices are mock-ups.
However, despite that, the video is among the ones with the best quality for comparing the expected design of the iPhone 7 with the iPhone 6s. The mock-ups show the design changes that are said to be coming to the iPhone 7, including repositioned antenna bands, bigger cameras and the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack.
A recently released video supposedly showing the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus revealed the smartphones utilizing Lightning EarPods, with another video featuring the new blue color option for the smartphones. Another report confirmed that the 5.5-inch model of the iPhone 7 will be powered by 3 GB of RAM.
