French tech site Nowhereelse.fr has unearthed two images that claim to be from Apple’s Chinese supply chain. These images feature the rear casing of both the 4.7-inch and the larger 5.5-inch version of the iPhone 7.
The pictures showing the 4.7-inch model feature the antenna bands, which currently run the breadth of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, wrapped into the side edges of the iPhone 7. It also features a larger protruding camera cut-out, which MacRumors say is consistent with the rumor stating the iPhone 7 will have an improved CMOS sensor.

The second picture, which is supposedly of the 5.5-inch version, showcases the dual rear-facing cameras. Apple originally obtained this technology when they acquired LinX, an Israeli firm that specialized in cameras with multiple sensors. Dual sensors would allow an iPhone camera to record both in slow motion and regular at the same time for example, and also allows a much higher resolution digital zoom ability.

The leaked images from Nowhereelse.fr featured the bottom half of the iPhone 7 casing as well, which is currently the subject of much speculation. Apple has been rumored to be removing the headphone jack port in favor of slimming the device down, but there has been conflicting reports.
