The time has finally come for us to be able to pre-order the iPhone 7 and the second-generation Apple Watch, so if you live in the United States, just head over to the Apple Store to reserve yours.

The features of the iPhone 7 have split the technology industry, impressing some, but leaving others feeling underwhelmed. The new Apple Watch Series 2 is water resistant to 50 meters for swimming and has built-in Global Positioning System for running.
“Despite being touted as a credible numbered sequel, it was hard to escape the feeling that the iPhone 7 is very much an iterative device rather than the step change needed to allay concerns of falling fortunes”, he said.
The design is a bit different as the lines have given way to solid colour, among them a matte-finish solid black and glossy jet black versions.
IPhone 7 users are not forbidden of using standard headphones, as the company will include an adapter for the iPhone 7’s Lighting port to enable 3.5-mm input connection.
“AirPods introduce an effortless wireless listening experience packed with high-quality audio and long battery life, coming in late October”, said Apple in a press release.
The iPhone 7 is priced at $649, the same as its predecessor, the 6s. We will know the final pricing closer to the launch date.
“Only time will tell if this is the model to help Apple to break away from Samsung, who is aggressively biting at their heels with a strong line-up in the Galaxy S7 and Edge”. The camera has been upgraded to a high speed 12 MP sensor and a new Quad-LED True Tone flash which is expected to be 50 percent brighter than the flash on the iPhone 6s.
So, is the 16GB iPhone dead?
Wells Fargo expects Apple to sell between 14-15 million of the new iPhones in the first weekend as the phones will be released in more countries that in previous years. So the price differential from 32GB to 128GB and 256GB will be quite significant.

The controversial decision to remove the headphone jack from the two iPhones could also prove pivotal to the iPhone 7, it was claimed. We can nearly hear you say thank God for that.
