But wait! Before you blow a month’s rent on the iPhone 7 – which will cost between $649 and $969 when it’s available on September 16 – take stock of what you actually need from your device. When we talked about a 256GB storage capacity and a 3GB memory in 2007, you might have thought that we were talking about a computer rather than a smartphone. So instead of plugging your headphones into a traditional jack, you will now plug the included earbuds into the lightning connector. Apple offers a new innovation that enables users to break their former habits prior to every new device.

Apple also announced that Beats will be offering a selection of compatible headphones. It is obvious that those who were expecting a USB Type-C port on the iPhone 7 were way over their heads. The company claims this makes the peak volume twice as loud. Note that for the dual- camera of iPhone 7 Plus, wide-angle CCM is equipped with optical image stabilization (OIS) VCM, while telephoto CCM only comes with general VCM.
Interestingly, Kuo says the dual-camera array in iPhone 7 Plus only features one OIS module on the wide angle camera side, leaving the telephoto unit with a regular, voice coil motor. The second camera will take more photo data and will allow some sort of things like post-capture depth-of-field. It was widely expected coming into Wednesday’s unveiling that the new phones would be more iterative than innovative – Apple’s reportedly saving its big upgrades for the 2017 iPhone – and with a few exceptions, that appears to be the case. This quad-chip features 64-bit architecture that is supposedly 120x smarter than the original iPhone. But Apple wasn’t the first one to do it, and they won’t be the last. The fact that the process is clearer in the countries without an Apple Store and not in Turkey made matters even harder to explain. It will be free to try, with the price for the full version still to be determined. While other devices had featured touchscreens, Apple’s was the first to package the technology so that it worked seamlessly. It is water resistant, with a haptic feedback engine and stereo speakers.
