Earlier, there were rumours that Apple might ditch the standard 3.5mm audio jack, forcing users to link audio output via Bluetooth or lightning. However, Chinese mobile repair website Rock Fix claims otherwise. One of the images of the alleged iPhone 7 components released by the Ganzhou-based website shows the upcoming model’s ‘lightning’ cable assembly. Contrary to rumours, the assembly has a headphone jack attached to it.
'Leaked' image shows new iPhone 7
Another picture shared by Rock Fix shows the iPhone 7’s dual SIM slot. If true, this will be the first time Apple will support dual SIMs.

Rock Fix also posted photos of screen panels for the iPhone in two sizes -- SanDisk memory chips of up to 256GB and a dual lens camera for the larger model.

Speaking to Engadget, Rock Fix owner revealed there might be some changes to the antenna design. However, he clarified that it doesn’t mean Apple is getting rid of antenna bands on the back of the phone; in fact it might have something to do with the rumoured switch to Intel's modem for the GSM models.
Despite all such leaks and rumours, nothing is certain, at least not until the release of iPhone7 later this year.
