That being said, Apple has made a few subtle design changes with the release of the iPhone 7.

Apple launched the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus at a San Francisco event on Wednesday.
iPhone is also shipping with an adapter which allows users to plug in their conventional headphones.
Apple is betting its legions of loyal fans will embrace the shift to digital headsets that use wireless connections.
New styles include a case made of ceramic and a run-centric design made in collaboration with Nike.
The alternative – plugging a headphone cord into the iPhone’s power port – has plenty of downside as well.
The company chose to stop the practice because the number of phones sold during the period has become more a reflection of Apple’s supply than demand, a company spokeswoman said, when asked whether Apple will be releasing the figure. “The courage to move on and do something new that will benefit all of us”. A transit feature in Apple Maps will also launch in Japan. Now that Apple has finally launched the highly anticipated new iPhone, it’s only fair that we compare it with Samsung’s best handset on the market. Apple Pay will also come to New Zealand in October and Russian Federation in the fall.
The removal of the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus is definitely going to be annoying for many users, though we sincerely doubt that this issue will stop most people from upgrading. The larger 7 “Plus” edition would feature two cameras, including a telephoto lens. “It makes no sense to tether ourselves with cables to our mobile devices”, he said during the company’s annual fall event.
Instead of a headphone slot, it will now come with earphones that fit into the phone’s lighting port, currently used for charging and data transfer. They also have a built-in Global Positioning System.
The company is trying to reverse its first decline in iPhone sales since the company’s late founder, Steve Jobs, unveiled the trendsetting device in 2007.
While the company sold almost 92 million iPhones in the first six months of this year, that’s about 15 per cent fewer than the same period last year.
Apple’s iPhone 7 and 7 Plus feature the new A10 Fusion chip, which enables the CPU to have four cores, two of them high-performance cores that make the devices run two times faster than the iPhone 6.
“The completely redesigned cameras shoot incredible photos and videos day or night; the A10 Fusion chip is the most powerful chip on any Smartphone, while delivering the best battery life ever in an iPhone; and an entirely new stereo speaker system provides twice the sound, all within the first water- and dust-resistant iPhone”, Schiller added. The existing gold, silver, and rose gold are all still available, however, the space grey model has been ditched in favour of both a matte black and gloss black variant.
Other smartphone makers such as LG and Motorola are also starting to offer models with dual lenses to improve picture quality. And she’s not anxious about any backlash over elimination of the hardware jack. Apple has a long history of dropping previously standard components from its products, including the floppy disk drive and the CD drive.
“We’ve seen a downward trend for the Pound against the Dollars over the past few months”.
