While the iPhone 7 is **t expected to launch until September, French leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer has shared photos one of the First cases manufactured for Apple's next-generation flagship smartphone.
The clear plastic shell features a cutout possibly large e**ugh for the device's rumored dual-lens camera, alongside two openings for stereo speakers that take over the space reserved for the 3.5mm headphone jack on current iPhones.

The aftermarket case's form factor closely resembles an iPhone 6s overall, with Cutouts for a possible all-in-one Lightning connector, pill-shaped volume buttons, and side-facing power button in their traditional places.
Early Case leaks have historically been fairly accurate indicators of new iPhone designs, though there have been a few **table exceptions. The first cases for Apple's purported iPhone SE surfaced last week ahead of its expected March 21st launch.
Meanwhile, Barclays analysts believe the iPhone 7 will have dual speakers supplied by Cirrus Logic, an Austin-based provider of analog and digital signal processing components for consumer electronics. Stereo Speakers could be louder and route audio signals through two channels to simulate direction perception.
