Apple’s iPhone 7 loses headphone port but gains water resistance

You can pre order it on 9th September and 16th September is the official date you’ll be able to get your hands on one! Every iPod, iPhone and iPad has included a headphone jack, but now Apple is throwing its support behind wireless headphones. Apple’s new W1 chip uses regular Bluetooth for connectivity, and the new chip sits inside the company’s new AirPod headphones and can wirelessly and seamlessly connect to iCloud-connected devices like an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Pricing of the iPhone 7 start at $649 (Rs 43,000 approximately) whereas the iPhone 7 Plus starts at $769 (Rs 51,000).

The iPhone 7 will also be packaged with Lightning-enabled EarPods that connect through the same port where you charge your phone, as well as an adaptor to connect your traditional analog headphones. Likewise, Apple also announced new wireless AirPods which can be purchased separately for $159. The AirPods will have five hours of charge, while the carrying case will have 25 hours. Live photos can now be edited.

Cook also announced new Apple Watch OS 3, saying it faster, has more faces and is full of new features. And a new home button. Like the phones, the smartwatches are also water resistant, equipped with features designed specifically to appeal to runners and users seeking more freedom on the go.

Will The iPhone 7 Have A Dual-Lens Camera? The new jet black finish will be offered exclusively on the 128GB and 256GB models from Apple Authorised Resellers and select carriers. Specifically, the iPhone 7 has about 2 more hours of life per day than last year’s iPhone 6S. Other previous reports also indicated the rear camera would be flush with the phone as opposed to protruding out. Speculation regarding an Apple Watch 2 was fueled in part by the fact that the original hardware has not been updated since it debuted in April of a year ago. The iOS 10 will be available from September 13.

Don’t feel disheartened if the smaller iPhone is still your favourite, it will still come with an incredibly impressive 12MP sensor that Apple says has been given a serious boost.
