Have you already pre-ordered an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, or will you be getting one on the iPhone Upgrade Program?

The iPhone has been on a downward trajectory with regards to sales in the past year, with fiscal Q3 2016 shipments falling to 40.4 million units compared to 47.7 million units during the same period last year.
Carphone Warehouse is certainly bigging-up the iPhone 7’s popularity, but we’re unlikely to find out how many Apple actually manages to flog. 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.
Will Apple give me a free adapter with the new iPhone?
For those with an iPhone 5 or iPhone 5s, the answer would be a categorical “yes”. It shifts the technology and circuitry controlling the audio quality from the phone into the headphones themselves.
The larger iPhone 7 Plus is even more of a wallet buster than it’s smaller sibling.
The flagship devices with boosted memory capacity will be sold at roughly the same price as the models they replace. Do you feel the new iPhones don’t offer enough to justify upgrading from your current iPhone? Your texts will have bigger fonts, and have access to amusing stickers and new tools like being able to draw pictures directly into texts. The new phone was revealed at an event this week.
The new editions of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, and the previous models, the 6S and 6S Plus, all start at 32 GB, which is twice the storage, and welcome. Apple’s smartwatch also has the same single-day battery life.
Apple’s latest iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus bring same form factor, but a redesigned home button.
This could be a deal-breaker for many of you. It’s also upset a lot of people, whose often high-priced cabled headphones now need an adapter to plug into the Lightning socket of the iPhone 7, should they buy one. Whatever you think of these motives, one question remains: How do you charge your phone and listen to music with wired headphones at the same time?
Belkin International to the rescue. That’s pretty much the only difference.
