Just a month before the iPhone 7 (https://hameed.nwar.uk/vb//www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-7/)'s expected unveiling, a few new images allegedly depicting the device's bare main logic board have surfaced on Chinese microblogging site Weibo (via Steve Hemmerstoffer (https://twitter.com/stagueve/status/762556794635972608)), showing the major part before any of the device's chips have been added onto the circuit board.
**t much context is given in the images thanks to the lack of chips, but it is widely believed that the 2016 iPhone will house a next-generation A10 processor, produced solely with a variant of TSMC's 16-na**meter manufacturing process used on the A9. Although Apple picked TSMC (https://hameed.nwar.uk/vb//www.macrumors.com/2016/02/10/tsmc-sole-manufacturer-iphone-7/) for its 10nm production, that process is believed to begin ramping up (http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1329217&page_number=2) towards the end of 2016 and beginning of 2017.

The logic board layout is generally consistent with previous iPhones, with a large ***** on the front corresponding to the location of the A10 main chip that appears to be roughly the same size as the current A9 chip used in the iPhone 6s (https://hameed.nwar.uk/vb//www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-6s/). The A10 does appear to sit a bit higher on the logic board than usual, however, with a**ther significant chip placed between the A10 and the SIM card lot in the center of the board.

Other internal parts of the iPhone 7 have leaked this year, like a Lightning cable assembly (https://hameed.nwar.uk/vb//www.macrumors.com/2016/05/03/iphone-7-headphone-jack-depicted-in-new-images/) image in May, which opposed rumors that the new iPhone devices will ditch the 3.5 mm headphone jack in favor of a sole Lightning port for both audio and charging. Given the steady growth of rumors surrounding a Lightning-only iPhone 7 in 2016 -- with multiple reports this summer focused on Lightning-enabled EarPods (https://hameed.nwar.uk/vb//www.macrumors.com/2016/08/05/iphone-7-lightning-earpods-video/) and Accessories (https://hameed.nwar.uk/vb//www.macrumors.com/2016/07/28/iphone-7-lightning-3-5mm-adapter/) -- the internal cable assembly leak from May appears false.
In June, Weibo was the source of a**ther internal iPhone 7 leak that showed dual SIM trays (https://hameed.nwar.uk/vb//www.macrumors.com/2016/06/20/iphone-7-dual-sim-trays-weibo/) as a possibility for this year's iPhone. Today's logic board leak, however, shows a space for the SIM slot that appears nearly identical to current iPhones and smaller than the leaked dual-SIM tray, suggesting that the dual-SIM leak was also false.
