The expected announcement of the next iPhone is now only six weeks away, and case makers are working overtime to get their new designs completed. A case manufacturer provided these designs to us, and they’re a nice way to get a feel of what features they’re banking will appear in September. While it’s unlikely that the makers of these particular cases have any unique information about what’s to come, it’s still a good barometer of the industry’s expectations for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.<\/p>\n

We start with this rugged shock-proof iPhone 7 case<\/a>, showing the larger rear camera that has figured into several recent leaks<\/a>. We can also see the Lightning port alone at the bottom of the phone, with no 3.5mm headphone port in sight. Instead, a second speaker grille appears at the bottom of the phone, potentially for ‘stereo’ sound.<\/p>\n

These case renders sport differently sized camera cutouts; the left has the modern XL style and the right has a size similar to past iPhone models. It’s hard to tell, but it appears that the ring \/ silent switch remains intact; this was recently rumoured to be missing from the upcoming models (but this sounds less likely than the majority of the rumours we’ve heard).<\/p>\n

\"c1\"<\/p>\n

Next up are a pair of clear cases, including one on the left that includes an absolutely monstrous aperture for the camera and a 3.5mm jack at the bottom — could this be a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 case instead? It certainly doesn’t seem to resemble the iPhone much! The one on the right is more reasonable, again showing the large aperture rear camera.<\/p>\n

Our final case shows once again a large cutout for the rear camera, no 3.5mm jack, and the blue model also has a large cutout for the Apple logo (for some reason, this is still a relatively common feature on many iPhone cases).<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed this look into the world of iPhone 7 accessories<\/a>. Many companies bet big on expected designs, in order to have a leg up over rivals who wait for Apple’s reveal to start production. That’s a winning strategy if leaks are accurate, but Apple are always capable of surprises. Let’s see how things turn out.<\/p>\n\n\n
