“We’re almost there, Apple fans: the iPhone 7 event you’ve been waiting for all year long is just one day away,” Chris Smith reports for BGR. “But that doesn’t mean we’re done seeing iPhone 7 leaks.”
“A couple of new images showing the alleged retail box of the iPhone 7 found their way online,” Smith reports. “But is this the real thing, or a fake?”
“The following images, obtained by @the_malignant, show an iPhone retail box that doesn’t mention the iPhone version on the box, listing a generic ‘iPhone’ product name instead. And that’s definitely a bolded font,” Smith reports. “Also interesting is the choice of imagery featured on the front side of the box. Rather than having the picture of an iPhone with the screen turned on, the picture shows the back of the device — which reveals that this particular box should house a 4.7-inch iPhone 7.”

MacDailyNews Take: We’ll see if it’s the real thing or not soon enough!
I can almost garuntee this is real. Package leaks are basically 100% spot on in past years.
Makes sense to show the back of the phone — that’s the differentiator. For the 4.7 it shows the moved antennae lines. For the Plus it would show the double-camera.
Perhaps Apple shows the back on the back and the front on the front?
Yuck.
That font!
