To go along with these new models, Apple announced wireless earbuds that cost $159.

More than 300,000 people have signed an online petition criticising Apple for scrapping the headphone jack, claiming it will create “mountains of electronic waste” as people throw out their old headphones. Therefore, iPhone 7 will be the company’s chance to increase their sales before 2016 ends.
The new Apple smartphone will have a starting price of £599 in the United Kingdom for the cheapest 32GB model while in the USA it starts at 649 dollars (£486) in states with zero sales tax. According to the company, the customers will see a credit on their bill every month for a total of 24 months. The headphones are also able to detect whether a pod is on the left or right ear, and they are created to work with Siri through motion sensors.
“The tweets appear to have been sent out accidentally and Apple pulled them just a few minutes after they began spreading around but till then, they were retweeted thousand of times”, The Verge reported.
That Apple would come out with first-party wireless earphones is easy to understand – its iconic white earphones date back to the days of the original iPod. If someone can copy that, and make something that looks and sounds better, we might not miss the headphone jack at all.
What about Beats? How do Beats headphones work with the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus? But what’s really special about the iPhone 7, aside from its wireless headphones? They have the W1 chip too, so they’ll pair seamlessly. Thankfully, Apple will be ready to sell one of these babies in its stores, so don’t despair just yet.
What if I lose or break an AirPod, does Apple have a replacement policy?
Belkin Lightning headphone and power dongle.
The flagship devices with boosted memory capacity are to be sold at about the same price as the models they replace, starting at US$649 for the iPhone 7 for U.S. customers, with deliveries in 25 countries beginning on Friday next week.
