Four speakers on the “iPhone 7”?

Most of the early “iPhone 7” rumors have focused on the increasing likelihood that Apple’s next handset will look a lot like the iPhone 6/6s. Inside the device,  however, big changes appear afoot.

Over the weekend, Nowhereelse.fr posted purported images of the iPhone 7 that show four separate speaker grilles; two on both the top and bottom of the device. The iPhone 6 has one speaker grill at the bottom of the device. If this leak is correct, it suggests that the next iPhone will focus on audio improvements.

Previous rumors have said that Apple’s next handset will ship without an audio jack. Instead, users would use Bluetooth or the device’s Lightning port to listen to headphones. This latest rumor seems to confirm this.

Apple is likely to announce the iPhone 7 and “iPhone 7 Plus” in September.

The Motorola RAZR may soon get another act.

Now owned by Lenovo, Motorola recently released a teaser video for the company’s June 9 media event. Looks a lot like a comeback, no?
