A set of Apple's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus blueprints were released by a media outlet uSwitch on behalf of leaked information specialist Steve Hemmerstoffer, who runs Twitter account @OnLeaks.
Rumors of the new iPhone 7 series will not feature 3.5mm headphone jack had been around for a while, and it brought negative feedback from hi-fi fans and music lovers. 3.5mm headphone jack had been the norm for smartphones and audio devices for many years, but the rumors said the new iPhones will use its lightning port or Bluetooth access as its audio output.
The blueprints released on Wednesday, reportedly sourced directly from Taiwan-based Apple casing subcontractor Catcher Technology, did not show any kind of headphone jacks. Some experts believe Apple may release 3.5mm-to-lightning converter, which would allow iPhone 7 series owners to keep using their earphones and headphones.

Its design has not changed mush from its predecessor iPhone 6 series, and both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus has protruding camera. However, while iPhone 7 seems like it would stick to a single rear camera, iPhone 7 Plus model's blueprint shows dual camera located on the backside of the smartphone.
Unlike other rumors, the latest leaked blueprint may be the closest thing to the real iPhone 7 series which is to be released later this year.
