Apple’s wireless earbuds get cool reception in South Korea

When Apple announced its plan to do away with the 3.5mm headphone jack in the upcoming iPhone 7, it raised many concerns and great disdain from fans of the device.

Apple did not give details about how much RAM the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus would contain at its launch event Wednesday, but a new benchmark seems to confirm the iPhone 7 Plus features 3GB of RAM.

However, mobile phone accessory company Spigen has acknowledged these concerns and devised a solution, with the company now selling an “AirPod Strap” for $9.99. Others point out that it could be done by having Bluetooth headphones as well.

Verizon Wireless network subscribers can also get a subsidized rate to pre-order the iPhone 7.

This means that if you signed up up to a year ago, you can upgrade to a brand new iPhone 7.

Apple Inc. rolled out its new iPhone 7 model to regular fanfare last week, but a new Morning Consult poll shows the buying public isn’t inspired by the tech giant’s presentation. The problem for some that have a hard time keeping up with their stuff is that the new AirPods aren’t linked together in any way meaning it’s easy to lose one of them.

However, Apple did make some major design changes.

Even though the phone is certified to sustain complete submersions in water, Apple will apparently not entertain warranty complaints pertaining to water damage. The magnetic case that comes with the headphones is used to charge the Airpods. The new smartphones start at $649 for the iPhone 7 and $769 for the iPhone 7 Plus. The models also have a new home button which is now touch sensitive and uses a new Taptic engine for better response.
