A new version of the Apple Watch, called the Series 2 and with greater focus on health and exercise tracking, was also announced, including a special Nike+ version for runners. “The iPhone has become a truly a cultural phenomenon”, Cook, dressed casually for the mega-event, said.

“Last night’s announcement will drive the biggest sales in wireless headphones yet”, said Katrina Mills, Buyer Audio and Smart Home, at John Lewis.
A jet black iPhone 7 looks nice, but will it blend?
At over £150 these in-ear music makers aren’t cheap, but wearing them suddenly makes the idea of connecting in this way seem like a much better idea.
As widely speculated, Apple also introduced “AirPods”, wireless headphones for the new phone, eliminating the traditional headphone jack.
The glossy iPhone 7 is now official, and just like so many people said before the September 7 launch, when this model was just a leak, a shiny phone is not at all the kind of durable thing that you can use for many years in a row with no sign of damage.
The tech giant’s chief executive Tim Cook announced the phone at an event in San Francisco, though a social media glitch saw the firm’s Twitter account – only recently activated – accidentally reveal the news early.
“The tweets appear to have been sent out accidentally and Apple pulled them just a few minutes after they began spreading around but till then, they were retweeted thousand of times”, The Verge reported.
Pretty slick and all about making wireless as convenient as wired. The phone is set to come in variants of Jet Black and Matte Black apart from the usual Silver, Rose Gold and Gold.
