“Unbox Therapy, one of YouTube’s most popular channels with over 5M subscribers, has attained a final chassis of the upcoming iPhone 7 Plus (also rumoured to be called the ‘iPhone 7 Pro’),” Gordon Kelly writes for Forbes.
“In a detailed hands-on we see all the major hardware changes coming to the larger 5.5-inch model,” Kelly writes, “including the radical dual lens camera, the missing headphone jack (a prediction I made two years ago), twin external speakers, the inclusion of a Smart Connector and the widely rumoured new blue colour option for the first time.”
Kelly writes, “As it stands the iPhone Plus range is still massive and remains the largest 5.5-inch smartphone in the world.”

MacDailyNews Take: Bulgetastic!
We’ll take several units, thanks. 256GB each, please. In Sapphire Blue (or whatever Phil Schiller decides to call it).
Ordering a 256 GB blue 7 plus on day one. That is one beautiful phone.
That is indeed stunning and thankfully with the black front you don’t get those ugly overhangs so prominently on display. Impressed.
Very disappointing … looks just as bad as the previous iPhone!
Again, no innovation here … camera, memory and storage all several years behind competition!
Apple, I’m done with your sub-par products!
and I didn’t even mention the “new and improved” iPhone has no OLED screen, weak battery, slowest processor on the market today, etc. etc. etc.
Come on Apple, you can do better (although you still have to prove it)!
You call a curve screen innovative? No special function except gimmicky. What’s the point of coming out with OLED screen when no manufecturer can produce enough quantity for the production. Those with OLED screen manufecturer know that their current low production can keeps up to their own “DEMAND”
Really, hilarious? You can’t do any better than that? You do not deserve to use that handle with such weak material. Please move on to Android as soon as possible. That is your punishment.
Huh, I don’t think he has to move to Android.
Goodbye
Don’t let the swinging doors hit you
We will all miss you and your negativity
I not trying to troll, but who cares? A”better” camera? Current camera is more than adequate. More storage? Long overdue. No headphone jack? I use headphones and won’t upgrade to a phone/music player that won’t work with my headphones. The phone isn’t thinner, why would they remove it? Beats sales falling off a bit huh?
Apple wants you to upgrade your phone to force you to buy new headphones. Android might suck, but I bet they will gain some clusters after this phone launches.
Well, diving into nebulous rumorography, Apple is hypothesized to provide:
A) Lightening EarBuds
B) A Lightening to 3.5mm audio jack adapter.
C) A Lightening to USB adapter.
The big fat hypothetical problem with this scenario is what to do when you want to CHARGE & LISTEN at the same time. The ‘HMM!’ Factor is that set of 3 contacts on the back of this ‘mockup’ iPhone. That looks to be for charging IYAM. So you’d have to be a specially adapted battery back. OR you’d have to get a hub that can deal with plugging in the usual external USB battery AND whatever headphones.
Looks nice!
It’s going to be tough missing out on not being able to pay for the improved camera if it becomes tied to the bigger screen. I just do not like such a big phone.
No worries, many of us will be happy to relieve you of that “big” responsibility. 😉
Fat Phil can call it whatever colour he likes. It’s Space Black for me (hopefully).
No headphone jack?!?
Outrageous! Epic fail!! Doomed!!!
I don’t care that I never use headphones with my iPhone, no one will buy of these!!!!
Oh wait… a double speakerphone speaker!?!
Boom! Sign me up!! Done!!!
You had me at “double speakerphone speaker”!!!!
I want that color – great looking
Tell me again what it has that my iPhone 6 doesn’t?
You’ll need to wait for the Special Event for that.
3D Touch for one thing which is also on the 6S Plus but not the 6.
On a poll of diehard Apple fans, almost all of them can live very well without 3D Touch. More memory and longer battery life are tops on the wish lists.
Back in the days of Jobs, there would never be any leaks. Now leaks are daily.
Back in Jobs day Apple was much much snaller and easier to manage …
Also dont discount the possibility that most/some of the leaks may be intentional…
Wonder why there are no leeks of Applewatch v2
Beautiful !
will be upgrading my 6s grey to the new blue 7 plus …1st day !
Same here. Changing from gold to blue. Any odds that overwhelming demand for the sapphire blue will be overwhelmingly underestimated by Apple causing massive back orders up to 2-4 months? The demand is being expressed all over this site and others and I’ll bet $100 to a dozen donuts that Apple will be caught clueless.
Clueless? Or by design?
I’ll take all the features of the Pro with a 4.7 inch display please. Feature parity.
Love the color and almost invisible antena lines. The design looks complete. I also like idea of two speakers instead of keeping a redundant port.
My grandfathered unlimited contract with ATT runs ’till
Sept 2017. To dump my 6sPlus, would take extraordinary
improvements. Don’t see any yet. Will wait for iPhone 8.
What about the touch sensitive home button .?
Massive?
