More iPhone 7 rumors are getting wilder with each passing day, and the latest leaks hinted that it’s likely to see next Apple smartphone with a dual rear camera setup.
Apple news and rumor site Macrumors picked up a bunch of images across various leaks, depicting a dual camera module. The part contains hints showing signs of it coming to a future iPhone 7 model.

Taiwanese rumor site Apple.Club.TW showed pictures of an alleged iPhone 7 hardware part. Depicted is a dual camera module with one lens within the larger compartment and a wider lens in the narrower enclosure. This module matches the one shared by Chinese site Chuansong.me, which surfaced in January this year. The Chinese site’s image showed the module bearing a serial number that starts with “821”, which Apple used for camera modules in its past models, as proven by French site nowhereelse.fr. Other images of the module being linked to the iPhone 7 can also be found on Weibo.

To help verify the dual camera leak, we compared the module’s shape to previous leaks of the iPhone 7 chassis. One version with redesigned antenna lines indicate that it may not be able to accommodate the new modules, but phone cases for the iPhone 7 features bigger rear camera cut-outs, hinting that they will be ready to see iPhone 7 models with dual rear cameras. It’s also possible that both chassis-related leaks are not off the mark, since other sources also said that Apple was testing five different configurations for the iPhone 7, with each phone bearing different features.
