If rumors are to be believed
Another day, another iPhone 7 leak. Only this time, we’re looking at what might be the bigger iPhone 7 Plus or Pro.Posters on China-based social site Weibo have published new images of what they say is the iPhone 7 Plus or Pro, the bigger version of the iPhone 7 leaked previously. Like the iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6s Plus that came before it, the device shown in the images comes with a 5.5-inch display, the posters say. It’s unclear, however, how they obtained the device and whether it’s the real thing or a fake.
Apple-tracking site 9to5Mac earlier discovered the images.
Since Apple is notoriously secretive, it’s impossible to know what
the company has planned. However, a slew of rumors have surfaced over
the last several months suggesting the company will launch a new iPhone
this year that will come with some minor design tweaks compared to the
iPhone 6s. Those changes include a slightly redesigned chassis and
movement of the device’s antenna lines which help it connect to cellular
networks to the edges. The reports have also said Apple could be
planning multiple versions of the iPhone 7, including the standard
iPhone 7, an iPhone 7 Plus, and potentially, an iPhone 7 Pro.If that’s true—and again, Apple hasn’t commented on its plans, so it’s impossible to know for sure—the device pictured in the latest leak could be the “Pro” variant.

Why? Well, the pictures seem to show a dual camera design, which has been rumored but was reportedly only planned for the highest-end iPhone Apple plans to launch this year. In addition, the smartphone in the image has eliminated the mute button—something Apple has done with its iPad, including the iPad Pro—and it comes with a Smart Connector.
