The name might not make sense, but a “Jet White” iPhone 7 could soon be on the way, according to renowned Apple leaker Sonny Dickson, who posted pictures of just such a handset online this week.

The Jet Black iPhone 7 was one of the hottest iPhone models when the handset first launched back in September. A similarly glossy handset in white could therefore prove to be a nice mid-year iPhone sales booster should Apple choose to go in this direction.

Check out a video of the alleged handset below.

Things may not be as they seem

Despite Dickson’s previous reputation, however, and as tantalizing as some people might find a Jet White iPhone, there’s no guarantee that this is legit. In fact, signs may point the other way — based on what appears to be a lower-grade paint job and lack of Apple logo.

But while that might be the case, an official white iPhone may not be too out of the question. For next year’s 2017-era tenth birthday iPhone there have been reports that Apple could add a white handset variant, in addition to the other improvements it’s planning on making — such as OLED displays and wireless charging.
