A new post by Japanese site Macotakara indicates that Apple may be abandoning its rumored plans to include a Smart Connector on the upcoming iPhone 7.
The rumor that the iPhone 7 could include a Smart Connector similar to the one found on the iPad Pro surfaced when Chinese site Bastille posted a leaked image purporting to show an iPhone 7 with what appeared to be a Smart Connector on the back.
The leaked image was never corroborated by other sources, however, and it was unclear whether it represented an actual iPhone 7 prototype or simply a conceptual mockup.
