The iPhone 7 has been sold out for September 17 and will be on sale again on September 18, starting 6am. Interestingly, that trend contrasts with iPhone purchases in the past when sales of the smaller iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s phones beat out initial sales figures for the iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6s Plus when they debuted in the last two years, according to Slice. The lack of wireless charging to iPhone 7, and the fact that you can’t charge your phone and use headphones at the same time is certainly a turn-off!

Hundreds of UAE residents queued in Abu Dhabi and Dubai for the iPhone 7 on Saturday, with some lining up as early as Friday night to be among the first to get the new smartphone. Yes, Mr. Schiller, Apple really ran into the burning building and saved the family with its removal of the headphone jack. We would recommend being on the safe side and waiting a bit longer.
An adaptor can connect your wired headphones. I don’t know why wireless charging hasn’t been done on the iPhone and iPad before, but it’s about damn time, Apple. So, why hold onto an analogue connector that has been used in devices since the mid 1960s. MacRumors also says that there could be changes to Touch ID, with Apple putting its fingerprint scanner and front-facing camera built into the display. We’ll look into this further, since Apple has not indicated that the selfie cameras on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are different.
However, you also get a Lighting to 3.5 adaptor, which you can use to connect your wired headphones to.
The iPhone 7 features stereo speakers thanks to an upgraded earphone speaker.
If you are one of those who are planning to buy the new iPhone 7 but are still undecided, then maybe some statistics will help you make up your mind. The battery, however, remains one of the easier components to replace; good thing, too, because more often than not, that’s the component most users will need to replace. A replacement battery for my iPhone six costs about £15. The new “A10 Fusion” processor is 40 per cent faster than the one in the 6s and twice as speedy as the one in the 6, making apps do stuff quicker.
