The release of the iPhone 7 is getting nearer. As is tradition now, Apple unveil a new product in the autumn every single year.

This year we will see the iPhone 7 go on sale. Rumour has it that it will be released in September.

Today we got our best ever look at the phone and well, it's bad news guys.

That camera bump is still there and it looks like it's got even bigger. Lens scratches everywhere.

Pray for Instagram photographers.

According to The Independent, the image was published by a French blog claiming to show the design of the phone.

This photo seems to confirm the long-running rumour that there will be virtually no changes to the 7. The primary differences from the iPhone 6 and 6s were that Apple moved the antenna lines that flow around the back of the phone onto the sides, so that they are less visible and disrupt the clean metal back of the phone less.

The picture also shows that the phone appears to have a much bigger camera lens on its back. It's widely expected that Apple are going to make a big deal about the camera on the new phone. The bigger plus model is rumoured to include a dual-lens camera setup that will allow for far more detailed and better-looking photos.

This also means that the camera bump on the back of the 7 that will stop the phone from lying flush looks to be even bigger than it is on the 6.

It's also believed that the image is only a prototype as the phone doesn't have the distinctive 'iPhone' text emblazoned across the back of it.

Still, there is no way to verify this picture so for now, don't get too worked up about it.
