Apple Unveils the New iPhone 7 and 7 Plus

Apple is ditching the traditional headphone jack in order to create a skinnier iPhone 7. Well, there’s some bad news coming your way from Apple.

Apple did not reveal the pricing of individual iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus variants, but confirmed that the models will start at Rs. 60,000.

The days of two-year contracts and subsidized phones are over. The screen size and dimensions are exactly the same as the 6S. Yes, Apple indeed has a stellar record when it comes to the camera, and now the launch of the iPhone 7 Plus have already excited the hardcore photographers. Now if you don’t own a pair of wireless headphones you have to make a choice, either you continue watching or charge your phone, because you can’t do both at the same time. AirPods are Apple’s new wireless earbuds which can be connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth. That means the dock can connect to your existing speakers without adapters or dongles while the phone is also charging.

To explain how this works exactly, we will have to wait until October for the new AirPods to go on sale. This time around, it would be the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus that has been introduced, taking over the mantle of being the “most advanced iPhone ever” from the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus – as with every single new iPhone that is released. To improve the dual-lens camera next year, Apple said to add optical image stabilization to the telephoto lens.

Buyers can also accessorise their new iPhones with leather and silicone cases starting at Rs. 2,900. The home button is now force sensitive, like the trackpads on MacBook’s. There is a bit of a ritual when taking them out, putting them on, taking them off, wrapping them up, and putting them away; and ear buds without wires are just going to be something too weird to get used to.

Other features include water and dust resistance, a longer battery life that lasts 2 hours more than the previous phone, stereo speakers, the new A10 fusion chip, and a 25% brighter retina display.

But even if the iPhone offers so good protection, Apple doesn’t want to take any risks and says that the warranty doesn’t cover liquid damage. In reality you are buying a new iPhone 7 on 24 monthly payments. If you are unsure about which device to go for, you can rest satisfied with the fact that the iPhone 7 Plus will not only come in a great design but also high-end specifications.
