Apple unveils waterproof and wireless iPhone 7 with no headphone jack Apple is known for its popularity but ahead of the United Kingdom launch tomorrow it has run out of the larger iPhone 7 Plus. And even with these products around, there is still a slim chance that every consumer is walking out the stores with a new iPhone.

Looking to get your Apple iPhone 7 Plus?
The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are also available in rose gold, gold, silver and Apple’s other new finish, black.
Apple said yesterday that many versions of the phone had sold out in pre-order, and this morning’s queues were made up of those who had reserved a spot to pick up a pre-ordered device.
Apple’s Greater China sales dropped by a third in April-June, albeit after more than doubling a year earlier, while its market share has fallen to around 7.8 percent, placing it fifth behind local rivals Huawei, OPPO and Vivo. Apple’s Asian suppliers have suggested that the dual-lens camera on the iPhone 7 Plus is hard to manufacture, leading to a shortage.
One customer who declined to be named said, the most attractive parts of the new iPhone are the double lenses and the water-proof funtion.
Tim Ingrassia (COL ’18), a computer science major, did not see the merit in Apple’s decision to remove the headphone jack from the iPhone 7 design.
If you are planning to buy iPhone 7, here are some of the things that you can use on the device.
“The fact that all iPhone 7 Plus models are constrained is a sign of the supply chain”, Ben Bajarin, an analyst at Creative Strategies, was quoted as saying by Bloomberg News. Meanwhile, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile have all said that pre-orders are higher than for the iPhone 6S; Sprint, a smaller carrier, said pre-orders were up “up more than 375 percent” from the first three days of iPhone sales previous year. I suggest waiting a week or so before ordering your new iPhone 7 since that’ll give Apple some time to recuperate their in-stock availability. They are concerned with the headphone jack, and with this latest revelation, it is possible that the 3.5mm headphone jack might cease to exist on the upcoming MacBook Pro.

Apple said on Thursday that it’s already run out of its initial batches of the phones during the pre-order period.
