Apple iPhone 7 leaks: Vietnamese blog claims to have acquired a 4.7-inch iPhone 7, reveals all

A Vietnamese blog claims to have gotten its hands on a fully functional, 4.7-inch iPhone 7. The blog doesn't provide any images of the device and are only reporting from their alleged "hands-on" experience with the device.

Assuming that the blog post is real and that Google Translate is up-to-scratch (Vietnamese translators are crappy!), the blog appears to confirm the following:

60fps 4K recording

The blog reports that the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 can record 4K video at 60fps. Current iPhones can only record 4K video at 30fps and 60fps is only available at the FHD resolution.

The camera on the 4.7-inch iPhone is apparently a single camera system rather than the rumoured dual-camera system.

The author adds that the LED flash might house 4 units, but he’s not sure if there are 4 individual LEDs or he’s seeing a reflection.

Updated volume and home buttons

The translation for this bit was very speckled, but my understanding of the Google Translated blog posts suggests that there is indeed a force touch home button on the iPhone 7. The writer reports that the button looks identical to the current home button, but that it's sensitive to pressure.

He adds that there’s no feedback when using pressing down on the home button, but that it is the only way to access the home screen. He adds that the home button doesn’t respond when swiped and that he would have liked some form of feedback.

This is very different from current home-button-less Android phones like the OnePlus 3, which immediately respond to touch input.

The volume buttons are apparently located on the chassis rather than in a concave frame, as on the current iPhone. Apple uses this design on the sixth generation iPod Touch.

No 3.5mm headphone jack

This last part has us very depressed and if true, means that Apple has actually gone ahead and ditched the venerable headphone jack. The author reports that his device does not host a 3.5mm jack.

The author of the blog post claims to have no knowledge of the Plus model and cannot confirm whether it does indeed have a dual-camera setup or not.
