A new video has surfaced online claiming to show an iPhone 7 Plus (or iPhone 7 Pro) mockup.
Unbox Therapy, a popular video page on YouTube (GOOGL), has claimed to have obtained a mockup of what it calls, the iPhone 7 Plus. The device looks like the product in countless other leaked images and videos, and shows dual speakers, movement of the antenna lines that connect to cellular networks to the device’s spine, and perhaps most importantly, no headphone jack. It also comes with a Smart Connector currently only offered in the iPad Pro, as well as a blue finish—a feature we’ve yet to see in any iPhone 7 leak so far.
Before anyone gets carried away, the video, which was earlier reported on by The Next Web, showcases an alleged iPhone 7 mockup that came from a supplier in China that might not have ties to Apple (AAPL). It’s also important to note that Apple has yet to actually confirm another iPhone even exists, despite growing rumors that its unveiling is about a month away.
Furthermore, a blue iPhone 7 would also be an entirely new revelation. It has previously been believed that Apple would stick with its silver, space grey, rose gold, and gold models, and potentially add a space black—no blue models were ever tipped.

Still, the notoriously secretive Apple has in recent years had trouble keeping control of its supply chain and what ultimately finds its way online via China. In addition, the device in the video appears to be made from similar components in the iPhone 6s, and features a nearly identical design to the iPhone 6s, which matches up with earlier rumors. The device in the video also shows a dual-lens camera on the rear, following rumors that Apple could be launching a new iPhone this year with a dual-lens camera.
However, there is some debate over what that version might be called and how many iPhones Apple could launch this year. Some reports say that the iPhone 7, which will come with a 4.7-inch screen, will have a single camera lens. The 5.5-inch iPhone 7 is where opinions differ. Some reports say the Plus model will have a single-lens camera, but a new Pro model will feature the dual-lens camera. Unbox Therapy is reporting, like several others in recent weeks, that the Plus will come with the dual-lens array and there won’t be a Pro model.
The Smart Connector will also find its way to whatever device comes with the dual-lens camera, according to reports. The Smart Connector has so far only been offered in the iPad Pro, Apple’s high-end tablet. The feature is essentially a connector for Apple and third-party accessories, ranging from chargers to keyboards, and more. It hasn’t yet been offered in the iPhone, but could be a useful tool for those want some additional functionality.
Ultimately, it’s unknown whether the iPhone in the Unbox Therapy video is the real thing and Apple won’t say. Indeed, the company will likely remain quiet on the topic until it holds a special press event, which is slated for early next month. According to reports, the next iPhone will ultimately launch on Friday, September 16.
