Yet another iPhone 7 Plus mockup has been captured on video ahead of Apple’s official unveiling this fall, but this one’s a little more exciting than most.
Not only is it thought to be the most accurate representation of the iPhone 7 Plus we’ve seen so far, but it also comes in a new blue finish that could replace the space gray option in Apple’s next-generation iPhone lineup.
According to an earlier report from Japanese blog Macotakara, a “deep blue” color option will join the existing gold, rose gold and silver variants in the iPhone 7 lineup this September — but the familiar space gray model could be dropped.
The mockup showcased in the video below from Lewis Hilsenteger of Unbox Therapy doesn’t really look like a deep blue, but it’s certainly very pretty.
“This thing has this kind of blue-ish, purple-ish tone to it,” describes Hilsenteger. It’s “a very unusual color for Apple; it doesn’t exist anywhere else in the product line. Personally I think it would be very cool to see an iPhone in this shade.”
The mockup also provides us with a closer look at some of the design changes Apple is expected to make with the iPhone 7 Plus, including that dual-lens camera we’re all excited about. Despite a smoother camera hump, it actually sticks out more than it did on previous iPhones.
The redesigned antenna bands make up for that — and make the iPhone 7 Plus a lot prettier than the iPhone 6s Plus from the back — and there is a Smart Connector towards the bottom edge of the device. It’s still unclear whether this will make it into the final iPhone, however.
The iPhone 7 Plus mockup featured in this video is ever so slightly thinner than the iPhone 6s Plus, but because it’s just a mockup, it’s probably best we don’t read too much into that. It’s also missing its headphone jack, which is a change we’re all expecting by now.

Personally, I don’t care what color it comes in. Every square inch of the phone will be covered by a case and protective accessories. But yes, I would buy the blue, even if I can only enjoy looking at it once in a while when I remove the case.

It’s butt ugly, but who cares. I use a case and the most important thing to me is a black bezel. I find the white bezel’s way too distracting.
Personally I don’t care what you think, but I don’t assume the blue one if it’s true has a white bezel.
Who keeps pushing this blue as part of the upcoming line-up? There is no trend data or forecast analysis to support this direction by Apple. And just think of the line up: Silver, Gold, Rose Gold, (Space Gray) … and Navy. Seriously?
Yeah, seriously. God forbid Apple tries to add another color to the line-up! Their products once flourished with color. New colors? Seems like a good idea to me no matter what “data” or “analysis” suggests.
Yes, God forbid that data or analysis have a place in product design and development. SMH.
Looks like they are preparing to add the iPad Pro connectors to it as well.
great so now it will only come in nail polish colors, and you can’t plug your good headphones into it.
It’s like Apple is pushing it’s customers away.
Hey Tim or Craig or whomever at apple is listening to it’s customers.
I’m on a decrepit iPhone 5s and need to upgrade. Don’t force me to an Android device by making pointless gestures of ‘innovation’ which are nothing more than changing colors and taking ever more options away from the consumer.
Didn’t you learn your lesson on Final Cut Pro?
They removed the headphone jack and gave the phone a bigger camera hump. This is true innovation ROFLMAO.
