"This is how I think the next iPhone generation should look like", says Reis. "Thinner display bezels, yet a body with fillets surrounding the device, allowing for a better grip. The body itself is now only 6mm thick and is also flatter than the iPhone 6/6s. No 3.5mm headphone jack, no camera bump, Force touch on the Home Button with Taptic Engine, water resistance."
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 7 this fall. TSMC is rumored to be the exclusive manufacturer of its new A10 chip. Take a look at the photos and video below and let us know what you think in the comments.

Wait until the iPhone 5se comes out being not only a new iPhone with a jack, but an upgrade from a 5s that is a 4" model, otherwise why not just keep the 6s? With so much improvements from the 6 along with so many new stuff in it, why not keep it?
Ok fuc ked then because I'm with tmobile jump on demand and I was gonna switch from the 6s to 7 since I get 3 free upgrades a year. Oh well it's better than paying 700-800 bucks for the 128GB.
Looks quite good but I feel that Apple have still to correct one flaw. I breathed a sigh of despair when they went down the Samsung route and changed the location of the sleep/on-off button. Because of the way the phone is held it is too easy to turn off by mistake. Please return the button to top of phone please Apple.
Cram it with all the new tech they like, just bring back flat edges, I might be a minority here but I liked the fact my phone could sit on its edge it was great for taking photos and even watching videos I'm sure I'll get flamed for this opinion (:
Except that the antenna lines show. Before the 6s, it was mentioned that Apple made a metal material to allow the antennas to still be there but now shown (in other words, invisible). Everything else looks correct (unless the camera is sticking out in this concept if I'm not mistaking. To everyone here, there is a 5se coming. At least you can see it as thin as a 6 but mainly an upgrade from the 5s. This is what you'll want if you really want a jack (and yes, the 7 won't have one for sure).
Besides a few design overlooks, I think this has been the best concept I've seen in a long time. A lot of what we see in this concept will make it into the next iPhone. Although I do see apple going with inductive wireless charging I believe it will also have true wireless charging, have the phone charge without any wires or mats. So it'll basically have 3 ways to charge. Lightning, inductive may or dock, and true "open air wifi like" wireless charging. With the design I don't see them going back to round volume buttons cause they take up too much space. Smaller pill like buttons like on the 6 or 6S models will stay. Can't wait until August or early September.
If apple were to integrate the headphone jack into the Lightning jack and include a 3.5mm to lightning adapter would it change your opinion on the subject. I think that's exactly what they're going to do. Or switch it to 2.5 mm.
