Is the Apple IPhone 7 Going to be Blue?

A few days back Apple IPhone fans who are eagerly awaiting the pre-order date of the IPhone 7 got a nice surprise when a long time Appla observer confirmed that pre-order would be enterntained from September 9 this year. However, close on the heels of that news. However, in a recent leak from one of Apple's wireless cariier collaborators, China Unicom posted the photos of the latest models of the IPhone 7 on their company Facebook account and among the 4 phones, one of them was blue in colour. The photograph was quickly deleted but it is impossible to stop such leaks from spreading online.

The onset of leaks and rumours is a big part of the experience for IPhone users waiting for the next big thing produced by the company and it is not surprise that it is the same these year. As a report on TechRader states, "In a picture posted to Facebook by China Unicom (and since removed, but not beforeTechOrz spotted it), there's an image of a seven, made up of part of the body of a phone and split into four colors. Three of those colors look like the Gold, Rose Gold and Silver options we're expecting to see the iPhone 7 in, but the fourth is a blue color. Rumors of a deep blue color had popped up before, but more recently it seemed we'd be getting a 'Space Black' shade instead, so this image calls that into question. The fact that there's a seven in the picture also suggests the new phone will indeed be called the iPhone 7, despite rumors that it might not be as it's set to be a modest upgrade. You can also see what appears to be a dual-lens camera, which is thought to be coming to the iPhone 7 Plus or iPhone 7 Pro, but probably not the standard iPhone 7."

The report went on to add, "As the image comes from a major mobile network it's worth taking seriously, but given that we can't read the Chinese it's possible there's been some misinterpretation, especially as there hasn't been much talk of a blue handset. The fact that the original post was taken down suggests the network was sharing something it shouldn't have been, which adds legitimacy to it, but also means we can't view and verify the source, so for now we wouldn't count on getting a blue iPhone."
