A new photo depicting what could be the rear shell for the next-generation iPhone SE<\/a> or “iPhone 7<\/a>s” has surfaced on Chinese social network Sina Weibo. The photo was later submitted to leak aggregator Slashleaks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nThere’s no way of telling whether this photo is real or not, but it appears to show a bump-less cutout for a single-lens camera with another cutout for what might be a vertically-aligned LED flash.<\/p>\n

The document in the photo suggests the iPhone, codenamed N79, could have a strengthened Ion-X glass display like the Apple Watch. If real, the paperwork likely belongs to one of Apple’s contract manufacturing partners in Taiwan, such as Foxconn, Pegatron, or Wistron.<\/p>\n

There’s not much else that can be gleaned from the photo, asides from what appears to be more of an iPhone 7-like design, which would be a shift away from an iPhone 5s design if this is indeed for the iPhone SE as Slashleaks suggests.<\/p>\n

This would be the first next-generation iPhone SE design rumor we’ve seen so far this year, so treat it with a healthy dose of skepticism. Last year, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo<\/a> said Apple is unlikely to release a new iPhone SE in the first half of 2017<\/a>, suggesting a refresh won’t occur before the end of June.<\/p>\n

If that timeline is accurate, Apple could be planning to announce the next iPhone SE alongside the tentatively named iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus, and iPhone 8<\/a> in September. Or, it could wait until spring 2018, given the original iPhone SE launched in March 2016. At this point, it’s too early to say.<\/p>\n

Apple doubled the iPhone SE’s storage capacities<\/a> to 64GB and 128GB a few months ago.<\/p>\n
