The upcoming iPhone could feature a beefed up selfie camera and will probably come in the world's most controversial colour: pink.
Fresh leaks have hinted at the pastel ambitions of Apple, as well its desire to help the selfie-obsessed people of the world take pictures of themselves.
The blog 9to5Mac has published an advert from accessory manufacturer Spigen, who are preparing to make a phone case in the same "Rose Gold" shade Apple is expected to debut at its iPhone launch event on September 9.
Apple's colour decision is likely to be controversial, as feminists have long railed against pink's association with femininity and delight in highlighting sexism wherever they imagine it to be present.
The website has also obtained fresh pictures of the new smartphone showing its super-sized selfie camera, which is expected to have a front-facing flash to light up your self-portraits, and the sensors which power the mobile's pioneering Force Touch feature.
We'd like to take a moment to tell (or warn) Apple about the Pink Stinks campaign , which urged parents to avoid buying rose-coloured gifts for young girls.
The thrust of the campaigners' arguments is that pink is somehow "sexist", leading the young women who wear it into a dead end of vapid niceness.
Boys, on the other hand, are ushered into a life of purposeful, thrusting success by wearing the colour blue which, apparently, makes them "bold and challenging".
All of which leads us to ask.
Apple iPhone 7: Price
If the rumours of a smaller, cheaper iPhone 6C are true then it's unlikely that Apple's main iPhone 7 will be any easier on the wallet than past models.
Most experts reckon the new iPhone will start at £539 for a 16GB model, effectively taking the place of the current iPhone 6 - which will see an incremental drop in price.
If true, we could expect other models with larger storage - 64GB and 128GB most likely - to stick with the £619 and £699 prices.
Apple iPhone 7: Release date
We'll see it officially revealed on September 9.
Both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 5S were revealed in September and Apple has no reason to change its strategy. It will look to take advantage of Black Friday sales and the run up to Christmas.
Alongside the iPhone 6S, Apple is also expected to reveal the iPhone 6S Plus and potentially an iPhone 6C .
Apple iPhone 7: Camera and design
Expect this phone to be a snapper's delight, with a 12 megapixel camera and the ability to shoot 4K video.
It will probably include a front-facing camera flash - something currently unavailable on any existing model of iPhone.
