A new video has shown mockups based on Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 7 series, revealing that three models could constitute the range.
For a while now, we’ve predicted that Apple will release three iPhone models in 2016. Now, thanks to a new video, three iPhone 7 mockups – designed according to reports and rumours – suggest that we could see a range constituted by a standard iPhone 7, a Plus model, and finally a Pro edition.
The video depcits a gold 4.7″ iPhone besides two larger devices; one, on the extreme right, is a larger 5.5″ Plus size variant, while the model shown in the middle doesn’t match the profile of an iPhone which has existed before this point.

While both the left and right iPhones share one singular camera and tweaked antenna lines, the center model instead bears the dual-camera setup which has been oft-rumoured this year. If accurate, this could reflect a ‘Pro’ model designed to compete with the likes of the LG G5 or Huawei P9.
It has been suggested that Apple would introduce a dual-camera iPhone model this year, which, similarily to the Huawei P9, would make use of one colour and one monochrome lens.
All three pictured mockups lack a headphone jack, solidifying earlier reports this year that the next iPhone could do away with a 3.5mm audio jack altogether.
Interestingly, while an iPhone 7 ‘Pro’ model has been tipped to include the same Smart Connector as found on the iPad Pro series, the connection port remains conspicously absent on the mockup.
