In addition, Apple has developed a new set of wireless headphones called AirPods, which are created to work with the iPhone 7. Apple-owned Beats is also introducing a line of headphones that make use of the new wireless technology. The company then deleted the messages. Battery life is improved as well, with Apple claiming the iPhone 7 lasts two hours longer than the iPhone 6S. Some consumers and analysts are considering waiting until 2017. That will be the iPhone’s 10th anniversary. “Ya know they gonna do something big”.
Apple’s not the first phone company to drop the 3.5mm jack – launched in 2008, the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic didn’t have a 3.5mm jack, and plenty of recent devices are also headed in that direction. The handsets come with IP67 rating signifying the fact that it is water and dust resistant, a first for the Apple smartphone.
The iPhone 7 features a completely redesigned home button, even if it does look identical to the one on the iPhone 6s.
Rumours were rife in the last few months that Apple would cut off earphone jack from its new models of iPhones. We have spent time hands-on with the new AirPods wireless headphones and there is also a new iPhone Lightning dock for you to check out. However, an adaptor for traditional headphones will be included in the box.
However, one thing it does not have as well, is an analog headphone jack – a push to wireless devices, including apple’s new air pods, which would come out in late October. Without a headphone jack, they must choose between charging and listening to music because, nope, they can’t do both at the same time. Apple’s are fairly well priced compared to others that have no wires at all, which are the only ones it would be fair to measure them against.
The new phone will start shipping in major markets, including the United States and China, on September 16. At the cheaper end of the market is the new BeatsX range of headphones that offer users 8 hours of battery life and Fast Fuel charging and are fitted with a Lightning connector for charging. As had been widely rumored, Apple indeed removed the standard headphone jack from the iPhone 7s that has been on every iPhone to date, and virtually every other modern cell phone that is out there. During Apple’s fiscal third quarter, sales of the iPhone reached 40.4 million, down 15% from the same time previous year.
