“Test duration of up to 8 hours based on air flow”. This was in laboratory conditions however, so your mileage may vary in real life.

The £37 a month deal for iPhone 7 will cost £45 a month if you go for the larger 32GB iPhone 7 Plus.

The tastiest offer we’ve spotted from O2 has the iPhone 7 (32GB) with unlimited calls, texts and European Union data roaming and 20GB of data for £55 per month after an initial payment of £59.99. But its battery should last you all day, its fingerprint sensor is high quality, its camera and video capabilities are all respectable, and it sports a good screen – though heavy gamers may find its graphics capabilities a little underwhelming.

Apple’s Reserve and Pickup iPhone service is quite useful if you don’t want to wait in line. You can have your iPhone 7 near the sink when washing up.

While rumours should be taken with a grain of salt, the above looks likely to happen.

My iPhone 7 stopped working after getting wet. Throw in its long-running problem of relying on manufacturers in China accused of mistreating workers and paying them poorly, and nobody could blame you for just deciding you’ve had it with Apple.

Making matters worse, in addition to forcing users to adopt the new Lightning port for headsets, the company is also releasing a new line of wireless earbuds for an eye-watering $159, which does nothing to alleviate Apple’s reputation as a conspicuous-consumption cult. It explicitly says so in the fine print of Apple’s iPhone 7 web-page. There are ways of drying electronics out, but they’re not always that effective.

Customers buying either iPhone on the tariff pay for their airtime and phone plans separately, meaning that in a year’s time the customer will have already paid off a percentage of the phone. Once again, we’re sorry. (NASDAQ:AAPL) rumor mill today is news of iPhone 7 and 7 Plus preorders starting.
