Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus and its wireless earbuds, AirPods. While the exact outcome of this will have to wait for our full review, it points to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus being speedier snappers compared with the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. The new Apple Watch may disappoint customers who had been hoping for a cellular chip that would have given it mobile network connectivity and untethered it from the iPhone.

It isn’t the first time we’ve seen a smartphone company try this. Why Apple added the word Fusion to the name is unknown, and beyond the obvious – marketing to put on a slide at the launch event – I can only assume Apple wants to distance itself from a weapon of war.
Apple announced two new phones, the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 and the 5.5inch iPhone 7 Plus.
Apple also introduced an upgraded version of its watch, the Apple Watch Series 2, that at the surface looks the same.
What Apple is basically saying here is that it’s convinced the iPhone 7 is going to perform well and that it’s not anxious about demand because the new flagship’s sales will entirely depend on how many units it can ship because apparently, customers are just waiting to pick them all up. However, you won’t be able to show it off if you chose to get the black version.
The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be available on September 16. One is using a Lighting to 3.5-millimeter headphone jack adaptor, which comes bundled in the box, to connect wired headphones to the charging port, which now also acts as audio output. How do you feel about such a redesign?
The Apple iPhone 7 is priced in India at Rs 60,000 onwards. Waterproofing down to 50 meters (164 feet) has allowed Apple to build swim tracking into the device, while Global Positioning System means joggers can map out their runs without carrying an iPhone. We expect this pricing to be at least Rs 10,000 more given that the United States price difference is $120 between the two. The company’s Korean unit has yet to confirm the release date or prices for the next-generation iPhones, and Korea, the home turf of the world’s top smartphone maker Samsung Electronics, has never been listed in the first batch of markets. It gets the iPhone 7’s 28mm (equivalent) wide-angle, 12-megapixel lens, but it also has a 56mm (equivalent) 12-megapixel telephoto lens.
The entry level iPhone 7 will come equipped with 32GB of storage, double the 16GB base storage on previous models.

It also removed the analog headphone jack, as was widely expected. However, it understands that a lot of its users will have good headphones with the older pin and hence the new phones will come with a lightning to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter. We can nearly hear you say thank God for that.
