Back of gold-colored Apple iPhone 7 poses for posterity?

We know that it is getting closer to September judging by the increased number of leaks we are seeing about the next iteration of the Apple iPhone. This morning a photo surfaced from China's Baidu, allegedly showing the back of the Apple iPhone 7. We can see the larger camera lens on the back, something that has appeared in previously leaked renders, schematics, sketches and photos.

We also can see that the old antenna lines are gone from the back, and have been moved to a location on the side just under each corner. And while it is hard to see the bottom of the phone, it looks like there isn't a 3.5mm earphone jack to be found (although a different angle would make this clearer). We can't tell from this picture, but there has been talk about Apple adding an IP certification to the iPhone 7, which would allow the tech titan to market the phone as water resistant. Recent models held up well against water, but without an IP rating, it is hard to advertise the phone's protection against H2O.

The color of the iPhone 7 in the picture is gold, and even though the device in the picture appears to have all of the changes we expect this year, we do recommend that you take it with a grain of salt.
