There's a new leak of the Apple iPhone 7 Plus going around, showing the device's dual camera setup. The photos came out of the Chinese social media platform Weibo.

As suggested by previous leaks, the larger version of the iPhone 7 will exclusively offer the dual camera setup although the standard version of the flagship is expected to be revamped as well.

Despite this, there's still one thing that the cameras of both versions of the iPhone 7 will have in common and that, according to analysts, is Optical Image Stabilization (OIS).

Apple only made this feature available to the Plus versions of its devices. Now, the tech company from Cupertino is prepared to offer OIS across the board, especially because the firm has found something else to make exclusive to its phablet releases, which is the dual camera setup.

In related news, Sony, which was tapped by Apple to provide the dual camera modules for the iPhone 7, is currently running late on meeting Apple's demands, as per Nomura Securities analyst Chris Chang.

Because of this, Apple is now predominantly relying on LG for the camera modules. As reported previously, these modules are going to be used on every 5.5-inch iPhone 7 that will be released.

This is contrary to the previous reports that Apple will release iPhone 7 Plus units with a single rear-facing shooter and another version with dual camera.

Meanwhile, the leaked photos on Weibo, picked up by Nowhereelse.fr editor Steve Hemmerstoffer, also revealed that the iPhone 7 will come in a monstrous 256 GB version.

However, despite such humongous storage, the iPhone 6S successor is still allegedly getting a 16 GB edition as its entry-level edition as well as a 64 GB version.

Apple is busy with the production of the iPhone 7 at the moment. The flagship is expected to be unveiled this September.
