We continue with the "leaks", always in quotes because it is very likely that Apple is behind all of them. Almost at the same time as the first video of a working iPhone 7, a component of Apple's next smartphone also appeared: the front panel. This alleged front panel of iPhone 7 It is very similar to the iPhone 6 / 6s, but there are a couple of differences that attract our attention, starting with the position of the sensors.
I have read some media that noticed that this panel has two sensors, but they were wrong to think that this is a novelty. Previous models also have two sensors on top of the earpiece, but one of them is not visible if you don't look closely. That is the reason why tempered glass protectors have a hole in that area. What is different, as we have mentioned previously, is the position of this sensor: in the image panel of this post it is on the right side, while in previous models it was on the left side.
The iPhone 7 earpiece will be bigger

The second thing that stands out is the earphone size. On iPhone 7 will be bigger and it gives me the feeling that it will be both wide and high. Personally, I have never had a problem hearing my contacts when we speak on the phone, so we can only speculate on the reason for the increase in size of this hole.
The 9.7-inch iPad Pro came with a screen true Tone, a new system that analyzes the environment to show us a range of colors that matches the colors around us, which means that we have to strain our eyes less. It is likely that the modifications in one of the sensors of the iPhone have to do with this True Tone screen. What I don't know is why they made the hole in the earphone bigger. We will leave doubts as of September.
I agree with the points you have mentioned but the reflections of the light on the screen also attract my attention, maybe it's me or it seems that it is more bent at the edges
Hello, silu4. I confess that I have also noticed that. It caught my attention, but I also thought it might be the wrong impression. I'm glad someone else saw it without me saying anything. So it is already more difficult to make mistakes and it could be that the iPhone 7 was even more curved than the 6 / 6s. If we take into account that Apple likes symmetry, if we are right, the iPhone 7 will also be more curved from behind.
A greeting.
The home-screen button space is also smaller, the speaker bezel is also topped off by what is seen in the reflections ... and a speaker so large ... I wonder if the rear speaker will be replaced by this one ... Apple always simplifies everything … And being waterproof, one less membrane to seal. I also speculate the appearance of a forward flash under the grille of this. All the best
Curved screen = harder to protect, easier to break
