iPhone 7 reportedly will look more like the existing Apple devices in the market, the iPhone 6 and 6s. Also, its release is said to be followed directly by the next-in-line device iPhone 8, a Barclays analyst reported.

Mark Moskowitz,the analyst, predicted that releasing an iPhone 8 right after the upcoming iPhone 7 will make a history in Apple Inc. history. Usually, an Apple major update is followed by a device that looks the same but bears internal feature improvements. Also, the brand "S" goes with the successor's device name.

iPhone 7 previously received a concept design from designer Marek Weidlich from the Czech Republic. While the 4-inch iPhone SE has already been launched by the company, it does not seem to reduce the excitement of the iPhone users over the upcoming smartphone.

The iPhone 7 was featured in a well-run video by Weidlich which shows his concept design for this forthcoming device from Apple. According to the designer, he had spent much time working hard to visualizing what the next Apple smartphone may look like.

An impressive iPhone 7 3D render was created by the student designer Weidlich, which he named "The Vision Next". In an interview with Mirror Online, Weidlich said that he has been working on his project for the past few months regarding the evolution of the iPhone, including the future of Apple as a whole, as well as how he envisions its future.

In the said video, Weidlich creates what appears to be like an iPhone, yet with a huge difference. The screen covers the overall front of the phone, which leaves no bezels on either side. The well-known Apple home button also included in the screen, but disappears while a game or video is being played, Techno Buffalo reported.

In contrast to a persistent iPhone 7 rumor, Weidlich opted to keep on his own version of the upcoming smartphone the handset's 3.55mm headphone jack. But, on the other hand, he decided to transfer the camera lens to the center portion of the back panel from the original top left-hand corner position. 

The video imitates the signature brand videos of Apple with its soft music and white background. In the said video, Weidlich said that his idea will stay with the current iPhone 6s' 4.7-inch screen size, yet will come with a couple of choices for the storage: 128GB or 64GB. 

iPhone 7 has not revealed many details yet in terms of the release date, and gadget aficionados may still have to wait for long to finally have the new iPhone, as there are indications that its official launch is not happening soon. If Apple sticks to its current form, then there is no chance that the new smartphone will be seen before September, PC Advisor reported.
