Even though Apple India hasn’t officially started the pre-bookings for the new handsets, customers can now make iPhone 7 pre-order from various retail stores. But are they improved enough to justify an upgrade?

His vision for an iPhone 8 that incorporates an all-glass front has been frequently discussed.
The iPhone 7’s new A10 Fusion chip offers an incremental improvement in processing power, graphics speeds and battery efficiency. The iPhone 7 comes with a 12MP camera while iPhone 7 Plus comes with 2 12MP rear end cameras.
Well, the iPhone 7 Black here is more of a dark Gray or a non-shiny Black. In the new iPhone 7 Plus, says it has introduced machine learning AI to the Image Signal Processor (ISP), which will be able to do 100 billion operations in 25 milliseconds. Both entry-level phones now have 32 gigabytes rather than 16. Neither is included. Also, your iPhone 7 headphones won’t work with any other device that uses the old-fashioned jack. Its upcoming $159 AirPods are two tiny inch-and-a-half Bluetooth earpieces created to integrate with Apple’s software.
Apple gave each iPhone model a boost in memory – it retired its 16GB offering; models now start with 32 GB – a much needed upgrade. In other words, you could let your AirPods fill and drain nearly five times before the case won’t charge them anymore, and topping up the dock is as simple as plugging in a Lightning cable. Siri had some trouble when Shakira blared in the background, but that’s no different from using the phone in a loud bar. They even stayed in while I ran.
In the wake of this move, more rumors have begun surfacing with claims that Apple might have just begun a trend – a trend that Samsung Galaxy S8 could pick up when it is unveiled in 2017. The trick, however, is that the AirPod case doubles up as a charging station/battery pack, holding an additional 24 hours of juice for your buds when fully charged. No fuss, no hassle, and it’s much less easy to lose than you might think.
Since the launch of iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, many have raised their concerns over the missing 3.5mm headphone jack. Of course, you might be more careful with $160 accessories.
The wired headphones that come with the 7 work just fine – and will still cost $29 to replace. He’s certainly right, and in losing the headphone port, consumers may well get some compelling new features in its place.
With iOS 10, people will have access to apps within iMessage that allow them to seamlessly add a visual layer to the messages they send – everything from disappearing text to animated GIFs, stickers and videos. Connect them once, and they’ll work on iPads and Macs on the same iCloud account, too.
Considering the immediate popularity of the Jet Black iPhone 7, which sold out in minutes, Hajek’s question is not only understandable, it also seems like a missed opportunity for Apple. But, one capability that will be unique to the 7 Plus is optical zoom upto 2X. You’re possibly more of a target for thieves, but they’re not quite as obvious as they appear from press shots. Resolution increases to 7 megapixels, from 5 megapixels, so the selfie camera no longer feels inferior. The overall look and shape of the new iPhones have remained the same over the past three iterations, save the changes to the antenna line in the new ones. I could do the dishes with the faucet running and still hear my music without putting on headphones.
In an interview with Buzzfeed, Phil Schiller, Apple’s head of worldwide marketing, said Apple had no intention of going down those paths.

Still, the concept Jet Black version of the AirPods is compelling.
