The line of holes for a hypothetical second speaker on the iPhone 7 would be nothing more than a decorative effect.
Like the props in movies and series, would serve to standardize the design of the new smartphone, nothing more, because it would have absolutely no function.
The iPhone 7 could include a "fake speaker"
If the predictions are true, in less than a month we will attend the presentation of the new devices in the iPhone 7 range. Rumors have been circulating practically all year, but two of them are especially relevant. On the one hand, the design will remain, there will be no substantial changes from the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s range. On the other hand, and this would be the most controversial decision, Apple will replace the headphone jack with a second speaker. And this is where the biggest news of all comes: the speaker holes that would be placed where the headphone jack is now would be merely decorative.
Various leaks, some of them even originating from Apple's own supply chain, have suggested that the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models will include a second speaker. This speaker would be located on the lower left edge of the terminal, where the headphone jack is now located, which would disappear. However, the new contribution made by the French site N.W.E., suggests that the additional holes could have a purely aesthetic purpose: give the bottom edge of the iPhone 7 a symmetrical design.
A camouflaged speaker microphone
The text that accompanies the documents published by this website indicates that the place that now occupies the 3.5 mm jack headphone jack. it will simply include a mic mesh and the mic, but makes no mention of any speaker in that place. In this way, most of those new holes would not be functional, except for the one located furthest to the right that would do the microphone functions, without mention of a speaker in that place. Most of the secondary holes would be non-functional, except for the rightmost one, which would double as a microphone.
From various media that have already echoed this, at least, amazing novelty, they coincide in pointing out that the veracity of the image cannot be confirmed. Thinking just a bit, this rumor directly conflicts with virtually every rumor, prediction, and leak we've witnessed thus far. According to MacRumors, only a previous leak hinted that the possible new left speaker would be merely ornamental. On the other hand, if we look at the images we will see that the line of holes of the new speaker is presented continuous, and it is not cut until it reaches a last hole, separated from the rest, and that would correspond to what is normally the microphone.
The proposal cannot be described in more than one way: absurd. But if true, it would confirm that Apple is reserving the vast majority of news for the iPhone of the 2017th anniversary (XNUMX), while the iPhone 7 It would be a pure procedure without major pretensions.
Waiting
In any case, the removal of the headphone jack, the inclusion of a second speaker, or the absence of it, are still mere speculations that we will not know for sure until next September.
According to various leaks, The new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus would be presented to the world on September 7 (curious coincidence). Two days later, on the 9th, a present period would start that would extend for a week. Finally, on September 16, the new Apple terminals would go on sale in a first wave of countries such as the United States, Canada, Great Britain and others.
The iPhone 7 would not see its appearance modified except in the suppression of the jack connector and the repositioning of the rear antenna bands. It will include the new A10 chip, faster WIFi connectivity and there is even speculation with a Pressure sensitive touch Home button.
