For THE memory configs:
iPhone 7 with single camera: 16,64 and 128gb for 649,749 and 849
iPhone 7 plus with dual camera: 32, 64 and 128 for 799, 949 and 1049.
iPhone 7 pro with an even more advanced higher megapixel dual camera: 64gb, 128gb and 256 gb for 899, 1049 and 1149
Don' t get fooled by the looks of the iPhone . We have only seen the back of the phone. Perhaps the screens will be 4.85 inch and 5.7 inch in the same footprint with a higher res. We still don' t know nothing. We have only seen a schematic on a Japanese website, which also posted the same kind of schematics of the iPad Pro with a 12.2 inch screen instead of a 12.9 inch it is now. For all we know, these could be prototypes for testing, etc.
And don't rule out 2 major rumors:
1. Force touch home button, together with 3D Touch tech this could present major changes in the way we use the home button on our iPhones . New functions, shortcuts, perhaps even notifications symbols shown on the homebutton itself. And mechanical failire rate will go down, will make it easier to waterproof, and even protect by a one piece screen protector instead of one with a cutout.
2. Smart connector-> don' t underestimate this. It will pave the way for more sophisticated accessories and possibilities: like camera cases with even better sensors, streamlined battery cases, wireless charging, perhaps even true wireless charging cases, vr glasses, a case which allows you to use a second SIM card without opening, the sim tray, etc.
And apple will release these accessories and charge a ton for them and we will buy them.
Don' t get fooled by the looks, I believe to sustain margins and adding much more sophisticated tech to the iPhone 7, Apple choose to keep roughly the same design, to keep cost down. Next year in April, they will release the so called anniversary edition, called the iPhone pro with an entirely new design, material and this newest tech, and perhaps even newer tech with more capabilities, oled screen, etc. For a higher price of course, to maintain margins.
It is all about margins and keeping costs down. This is apple's choice and the way wall streets works.
So release an iPhone for the masses, at the same price as the previous gen, release a bigger iPhone with a better camera, and bigger screen for people that want more, and to pay a little bit more(but it is a lot bigger, clumsy, etc), and release a top of the bill iPhone with a smaller footprint(but at least the same screen size) as the 7 plus) with a newer design, integrated homebutton in the screen, better hw , etc for even more.
In short: Apple wants us to buy the bigger and more expensive iPhones with higher margins, by offering a regular iPhone that is , to say the least , very basic.... And then use the price of the different memory configs to convince us to take the more expensive models.
If I am a regular customer, that needs more than a 16gb iPhone 7, but less than 64gb, I would be tempted to buy a a 32 gb iPhone 7 plus for just $50 more than a 64gb iPhone 7.
If I would want a 7 plus, but 32gb is too little, and 128gb is too much, I would buy a iPhone 7 pro with 64gb with a new design, better hw, more exclusive for $50 more than the iPhone 7 plus 128gb.
Since most people need configs of 32 to 64 gb this is very lucrative for Apple. So Apple won' t sell more, but their profits will remain the same. A shame really. A good product should be enough.....

Yet another leak from the @Onleak guy according to the post this prototype has 4 speakers (like the iPad Pro) and the camera hole is larger. Also it looks to be in purple? It's probably a fake but it's possible that Apple are using some of the tech from the iPad Pro (4 speakers being one).

The most interesting thing about it is that the antenna lines are in the same color as the anodized Alu.
Would love to have almost invisible antenna lines.
