Is this what the new iPhone 7 could look like?

The buzz around the new iPhone is beginning to grow as details of the new handset continue to emerge.

Of course, the proof will only come out when the new phone is unveiled in September by Apple chief executive Tim Cook, but this concept iPhone 7 by tech designer Antonio De Rosa is very intriguing.

It will run on iOS 9 with a stronger battery life and quicker apps and notes. Apple have also said that Siri will become more proactive in recognising your behaviour. We can only speculate that this will lead to the inevitable rise of Skynet.

One rumour that we hope to be true when the final model is announced is the use of sapphire glass for a scratch-resistant screen.
