For those of you that don't think Apple knew about this, I would suggest the opposite. Maybe the company did this intentionally so that dude's in Hong Kong would opt for the iPhone 7 Plus because no one wants to buy a smaller version of "this is penis." Genius!
The Cantonese language uses subtly different tones to differentiate between words. The Cantonese pronunciation of 'seven' (七) uses a 'cat1' tone, according to the Chinese Character Database of Chinese University of Hong Kong. The number ‘seven’ is a common euphemism of a Cantonese profanity word referring to penis, which only differs slightly in the tone.
