The Series 2 Sport aluminum and stainless steel models are listed as shipping by the end of September, while the ceramic Edition model is 5-6 weeks out. Thanks to the gadget’s new GPU, the latest Apple smartwatch has a double graphics performance, according to Tech Crunch. They will be available in India exactly a month later, from October 7. Existing iPhone users will be encouraged to upgrade for the software for free.

Update 1: 10 minutes until the iPhone 7 goes on sale.
Apple launched the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus at a San Francisco event on Wednesday.
Physically, the biggest changes are the disappearance of the headphone jack and the replacement of the movable home button with a fixed trackpad-like device with “taptic” feedback.
Apple’s most controversial move was removing the headphone jack.
Of course, the iPhone 7 Plus has some pretty stiff competition ahead of it when it comes down to overall picture quality. T-Mobile announced yesterday it would give away the iPhone 7 32GB for free to any customer who traded in a iPhone 6 or a later model. Some, like the 32GB Black iPhone 7, say September 26 – 28. The new features of the phones can best be seen in Apple’s comparison chart which is interesting from the perspective of how much is the same between the 6s and the 7. We’re now getting an idea of the pricing for this particular wearable, and it’s not good news.
The stakes for the iPhone 7 are high after sales of the gadget dropped during two straight quarters this year, the first declines in its history. Starting at €577, it is the same price as the 6S predecessor.
So, is the 16GB iPhone dead?
Crafted from bead-blasted aluminum, our new black model has a rich, deep matte finish. They also both come in 32GB, 128GB and 256GB storage options.
It’s more of an issue if you have a pair of headphones or earphones with a 3.5mm connector.
Apple also removed the analog headphone jack from both new models, as was widely expected. You can buy the Lightning to 3.5mm adaptor direct from Apple for £9, or alternatives from many other Apple accessory suppliers. That’s a rather vague statement from Belkin but we’d hazard a guess that it means the phone will charge at the rate you would expect, not as if it was being charged by a hamster running on a wheel.
