They feature five hours of battery life and are housed in a case that can charge them further, even on the go.
United Kingdom customers will have to pay up to £113 more than their U.S. counterparts for the basic new iPhone 7.
The account also revealed that the iPhone 7 would have a dual camera, stereo speakers and longer battery life, and prompted people to pre-order it.
Alongside the iPhone 7, Apple introduced Series 2 of the Apple Watch, which will be available Sept.16 starting at $269. We’ve heard about the rumors and they do come alive. iPhone 7 is IP67 certified, meaning, it is water and dust resistant.
Each has a 12-megapixel camera with optical image stabilisation, a six-layer lens and an aperature enlarged to f/1.8.
Both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are available in Jet Black, Black, Silver, Gold and Rose Gold colour variants. But, unless you’re a serious photographer, we doubt you’re going to need the new features available right now.
