All variants of the larger model will be impossible to buy in Apple’s stores at its Friday retail launch, and Apple suggests it will be hard for customers to purchase any model if they haven’t reserved their purchase ahead of time.

According to Apple’s website, iPhone 7 32GB will retail at Rs 60,000; the 128GB version at Rs 70,000, and the 256GB version at Rs 80,000.
Well, the iPhone 7 Black here is more of a dark Gray or a non-shiny Black.
A spokesperson for Airtasker, the company who commissioned the jobs to individuals like Marton, said that US$150 seemed to be the going rate to successfully get someone to line up for the iPhone 7. While the discounts were expected, this is probably the biggest price cut Apple has ever introduced.
The iPhone SE also saw its price slashed – its 64GB version now costs Rs 44,000 as compared to Rs 49,000.
For both these phones, we feel that the reduced pricing of the base storage spec variants would be a lot more attractive for buyers who had been eyeing the idea of buying an iPhone for a while now-and that makes flawless sense.
Meanwhile, Junyu Quek, who is a Singtel customer, said he was told he had secured an iPhone 7, instead of an iPhone 7 Plus which he had ordered. This means both devices are equally tough and resistant. Moreover, the newly launched iPhone 7 is water and dust resistant. Similarly, the graphics processing too is said to have jumped 90% aided by a new graphics processor versus previous-generation models.
Besides, the iPhone SE has 12MP rear camera, including 4K video recording, true tone flash, and Live photos.
Known designer, Martin Hajek, has released renders of what AirPods would look like using the iPhone 7’s Jet Black finish.

Is this down to demand or Apple not making enough smartphones available for the launch?
