Designer Arthur Reis has a new vision for the iPhone 7. First thing, it’s a metallic phone with a glossy design and slightly more curved than its predecessors. It’s got both a thinner and stronger body, this time made of a stainless steel alloy.

It’s resilient to impact and scratches and the front bezel has been made slimmer, to you can keep the same size of the screen, but decrease the width and height, for improved grip. This model has a “4X faster CPU and GPU”, as claimed by Arthur, plus an AMOLED screen with a Full HD resolution and 4.7 inch diagonal, but there’s also a 4 inch 1334 x 750 pixel version.

The Home button now does Force Touch and 3D Touch has improved, with extra gestures supported. This iPhone 7 is water resistant and has speakers that are up to 50% louder than before. Upfront we find a sapphire display, that is very resilient to scratches and impacts. For those of you wondering, yes, this model does look a lot like the iPod Touch 4, but is that really a bad thing?
