I guess there will be no more 'iphone 5'? The 'new' 4inch iPhone is rumored to be called the "SE".

iPhone 7 Plus: Camera for the Apple flagship may be sourced from LG as Sony's production lags behind
By Agamoni Ghosh
May 21, 2016 12:14 BST
The iPhone 7 Plus speculated to be released towards the beginning of 2017 may source its dual-lens camera modules from LG and not Sony as earlier thought. Sony which has traditionally supplied camera sensors for iPhones is reportedly lagging behind in production thus forcing Apple to choose LG.
Chris Chang of Nomura Securities issued a note to investors recently claiming that Sony which is the leading camera module assembler for smartphones is in fact running behind schedule in terms of supplying Apple with dual-lens camera modules for the 2017 iPhone. As a result, the iPhone maker may go ahead with Korea's LG Innotek which competes with Japan's Sony as a camera module assembler.
"We think Sony may not be able to deliver its full share of dual cameras to Apple due to mainly because (1) lower-than-expected yield, and (2) damage to its production facility from the April earthquake in Kumamoto. As a result, we think LGI will gain majority share of the initial dual camera orders from Apple," he says in his note.
iPhone rumours and device renders hint towards a dual-lens camera module both for the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus. In fact, Nomura Securities and Citi Research, two leading market research firms on the subject, believe all 5.5-inch iPhones from now on will be equipped with dual-lens camera modules. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and reliable iPhone specs predictor had also reiterated the same. Apart from this, Nomura believes that all future iPhones will come with optical image stabilisation (OIS) which is already present on the iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6s Plus.
Earlier speculation by Kuo had also hinted at Apple switching from aluminium to glass for its 2017 iPhone which most believe will be the iPhone 7 Plus. Future iPhones are also said to have the headphone jack removed in order to go wireless hinting at an all-new design for the smartphone.

Everything we wanted to know about the iPhone 7 might have just leaked
Chris Smith
June 1, 2016
Android may be the king of smartphones when it comes to market share, but the iPhone is still the most talked-about device. Year after year, chatter about the upcoming iPhone model increases in the months leading to its release, with leaks and rumors offering fans plenty of details about the next Apple phone.
The iPhone 7 is no different. Several reports have already cemented the idea that the phone will be remarkably similar to last year’s iPhone 6s — in fact, this is probably the first photo of a real iPhone 7, so you can already see what the phone will look like. We also have an idea of what the next iPhone family will have to offer, but now a fresh report seemingly lists all of the key specs for the upcoming iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
According to market research firm TrendForce, Apple has settled on most of the specs for the next-gen iPhone. The iPhone 7 models will both have LCD displays that “will not feature a significant breakthrough.”
When it comes to internal components, the research firm says the iPhone 7 will make use of speedy LPDDR4 RAM, just like the iPhone 6s. However, not all iPhone 7 models will be equal. The 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus will have 3GB of RAM while the 4.7-inch device will still with 2GB of RAM. That’s exactly what recent reports have claimed.
The extra gigabyte of RAM is needed on the iPhone 7 phablet to power its dual-lens camera. The iPhone 7 Plus’ memory module will “be the first in the series to have 3GB of memory in the form of four stacked 6Gb mono-die modules,” TrendForce says.
Storage is one thing Apple will change in the upcoming iPhone 7. TrendForce believes that the 64GB option may be discontinued and replaced by the 128GB version, “though this decision has yet to be finalized.” The research company says that Apple “is certain” to make a 256GB iPhone 7 this year. The entry-level iPhones will ship with 32GB of storage, a recent report said, but TrendForce doesn’t mention anything about the lowest iPhone 7 storage tier.
Design-wise, the iPhone 7 is expected to be similar to last year’s model. Other than the dual lens camera on the iPhone 7 Plus, the research firm doesn’t mention any of the changes suggested in recent leaks, such as the rear antenna redesign or the lack of a headphone jack.
TrendForce expects Apple to order 216.5 million iPhones this year, an 8.2% drop compared to 2015.

Apple 7 and 7 Plus prototypes:

.... It seems to be confirmed, there will be no headphone jack, but there's rumors that a 'converter' jack (3.5mm to lightning?) might be included in the box.

I think Apple will just supply headphones with a lightning connector in the box as standard, they'll probably charge £25 for the adapter just like when they made the jump from the old 30 pin to lightning and try to stop any unauthorised 3rd party accessories that do the same.
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...

And at first everyone is going to despise that move but later, they will all iSheep again. Business as usual in the world of Apple. The good thing is that Bluetooth headsets are good today.
I am just waiting for Apple to remove that too and introduce some iBullShit to have the third parties to pay more fees.

Apple Leaks Reveal iPhone 7 Nasty Surprises
There is no headphone jack. By now the whole world knows Apple has made the controversial decision to axe the world’s most ubiquitous port from the new iPhone 7. But now users may not be getting the goodies they expected as compensation for this loss…
A pair of leaks this week make grim reading for potential iPhone 7 buyers as Apple appears set to cut back on two innovations widely expected this year.
Nasty Surprise #1: No Stereo Speakers
The first bad news comes via highly reliable French site Nowhereelse.fr which has attained schematics of the iPhone 7. The schematics say the matching second speaker grill on the bottom edge of the iPhone 7 (added thanks to the removal of the headphone jack) is purely cosmetic and simply houses the microphone.
Apple has pulled a similar stunt before with the iPhone 4S which also had matching dual speakers on the bottom edge (the headphone jack was at the top of the phone back then). Many predicted stereo sound at the time, only to be disappointed.
Nasty Surprise #2: No Touch Sensitive Home Button
With iPhone 7 innovations expected to be primarily internal (improved performance, bigger battery) and incremental (the dual camera is an iPhone 7 Plus / Pro only feature) there was one exception: the home button.
After nine years, the iPhone 7 appeared ready to move to a MacBook-inspired touch sensitive button which uses haptic feedback to simulate the sensation of physical touch. A fixed button would be more reliable, save physical space and potentially enable Apple to use the touch sensitivity to add gesture support at a later date (there’s no sign of this in iOS 10).

Unfortunately MacRumors reports a leaked chassis via Geekbar which it believes to be from the iPhone 7 shows the same cutouts for a physical home button, just like previous models.
What To Think?
Of course the obvious point to make is both leaks could be off the mark. In fact even if they are correct, Apple is known to make and test multiple iterations of each iPhone prior to settling on a design. So these could be prototype plans that have since been scrapped.
That said I would argue it is crucial Apple ‘sells’ the loss of the headphone jack as a gain overall by arguing it allows the iPhone 7 to take new, appealing steps forward. These include higher quality sound through the Lightning port, more space for a bigger battery, waterproofing and yes, stereo speakers and (in absence of a design overhaul) the compensation of an upgraded home button and internals.
If such features get chipped away, the loss of a headphone jack in conjunction with a third year of largely unchanged external design set against the backdrop of falling sales could spell trouble and imply stagnation. Yes, sales figures will still be on a scale of ‘trouble’ most smartphone makers would die for but it’s trouble nonetheless.
In recent years Apple product launches have had little to no surprises. With some of the negativity surrounding the iPhone 7 (especially against the excitement for 2017’s radical iPhone  let’s hope Apple does have some surprises this year. Either way, we’ll all find out very soon…
