New images supposedly showing molds of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus seem to confirm the rumors that only the Plus model with a 5.5-inch screen will have the dual-lens camera.

The images were posted on the Chinese web forum Baidu and found by Italian tech site HDBlog.it and 9to5Mac.

It looks like the regular 4.7-inch model will "only" have a single-lens camera.

Schematics of the alleged iPhone 7 were also leaked on Baidu, and they contradict one of the more recent rumors that the iPhone 7 is meant to have Smart Connectors.

The molds in the leaked images could be the very molds that will form the outer casing of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, but we have no way of confirming if they're real or not.

Either way, it doesn't look like the iPhone 7 is going to be very exciting from a design or features point of view. Apart from a dual-lens camera on the Plus model, we expect to see redesigned antenna lines, and Apple might even take away the headphone jack, too. 

As always, the only way to know is to wait until Apple's Fall iPhone event in September.

Antonio Villas-Boas was a consumer tech expert with over a decade of experience testing and reviewing smartphones, tablets, computers, smartwatches, and phone carriers.ExperienceAntonio joined the Business Insider team in 2015 as a tech reporter on the news desk and moved to the service journalism team in 2020. During his time as Business Insider’s senior tech reporter, Antonio developed industry-leading battery-life tests for smartphones and tablets, and covered and reviewed hundreds (if not thousands) of products from major brands like Apple, Google, Samsung, and OnePlus since as far back as Samsung’s Galaxy S6, the original Apple Watch, and the very first Google Pixel. This decade-plus of experience has given him tremendous insights into what consumer tech truly stands the test of time and what will be irrelevant in just a few years' time (RIP The Pebble).Antonio is also an experienced deal hunter, surfacing the best discounts on phones, laptops, and smartwatches for readers during sale events like Prime Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. Previously, Antonio was a consumer-electronics analyst at PCMag and ran his own blog. Why you can trust AntonioAntonio approaches all his reviews not only as a tech expert but as a consumer himself. He reads every word of fine print in the phone carrier plans he reviews, and is deeply skeptical of deals that promise you the latest iPhone model for free. (Spoiler: it might be “free,” but you could be stuck with it for three years.)He largely recommends less expensive and small-scale fixes to upgrade your existing tech before considering buying the latest and flashiest in new tech. Antonio believes his role as the go-to “tech guy” for his family and friends extends to his readers as well; he only recommends products that have stood up to the testing process.Scripps News, NewsNation, Fox 5 DC, NBC LX, and Rich DeMuro’s “Rich On Tech” radio show have requested his commentary and expertise. ExpertiseHis expertise includes:
  • Phones, including the iPhone, Google Pixel, and Samsung Galaxy models
  • Phone accessories, including charging cables, phone cases, and protection plans
  • Smartwatches, including the Apple Watch, Galaxy Watch, Pixel Watch
  • Mobile carrier plans, including major carriers and MVNOs
  • Tablets, including iPads and Galaxy Tabs
