Naturally, the iPhone 7 will ship running iOS 10 out of the box, which Apple will make available to all on 13 September. Besides, the handset will be available in a new Black color variant, Gold, Silver and Rose Gold color options.

Schiller portrayed the move to drop the headphone jack as a step toward improving user experience. The workaround Apple has come up with is an adapter which will ship with all iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 units. The pace of adoption over the years has been frankly insane.
Tim Cook glossed over dipping sales in 2016 but that’s to be expected. It gives it cover to work on its next big thing – an Apple auto, the not-yet-a-blockbuster Apple Watch, maybe a long-promised big play in the television market, Apple Music or something else that could possibly join the iPhone at the center of Apple’s universe.
For the design, well…the rumours were true.
But Neil Saunders of the research firm Conlumino said the iPhone 7 “is not radically different to the previous incarnation.” and that the new features “are unlikely to be persuasive factors in determining whether consumers upgrade or stick with what they have”.
Perhaps the most notable is the introduction of a built-in Global Positioning System function.
Apart from its striking looks, the jet black version is also limited to a 128GB and 256GB variant while the rest have a minimum of 32GB of storage.
The 3.5mm port is a very old connector and takes up a lot of space inside the device, so doubling up the Lightning Port’s duties to charging and audio output not only means more space for new features, but better quality audio overall.
Yes, you heard it right.
However, smartphones expert Ernest Doku from comparison site uSwitch said the iPhone 7 would fail to grab the attention of many.
How much does the iPhone 7 cost? Other talking points include improved cameras, especially the dual-camera setup on the iPhone 7 Plus, which is pushing the limits of how good a smartphone camera can be. With the second lens, the new iPhone 7 Plus can zoom up to 2X optically, and up to 10X digitally. The front-facing camera is 7 megapixels.
The lenses across the two phones now contain a 12 megapixel sensor.
“We’re not saying to throw out your DSLR”, said Mr Schiller. The company is used to defying expectations that its best days are behind it. Odd when you consider that Samsung’s AMOLED panels have been shown to be vastly superior in nearly every regard, providing you have a phone that doesn’t explode. The Verge thinks Apple’s W1 is a fancy way to obfuscate its use of Bluetooth Low Energy (also known as Bluetooth Smart), but it’s not clear if this is accurate. The original model ran down its battery quickly.
The A10 CPU is 120% faster than the chipset inside the first iPhone. Apple’s growth problem isn’t only – as Cook has argued – a belatedly understood hangover from that blockbuster iPhone 6 release. The Apple iPhone 7 plus camera, though, seems to have aimed at achieving the DSLR status. As for the Powerbeats3, Apple claims that these headphones are aimed at more active users and will boast a 12 hour battery life. Wall Street analysts say reports from Apple’s Asian manufacturers and suppliers indicate the company has chose to wait a year before introducing a major overhaul of the phone in 2017.
So yes, the 3.5mm headphone jack is gone in favour of the Lightning port and a new set of Lightning-based headphones bundled-in with the phones.
It also include Global Positioning System, so that people can track their runs without taking their iPhone along with them.
Apple Watch Nike+ will be available at a price range of Rs 32,900- Rs34,900 from Nike.Com, select Nike retail stores, select Apple Authorised Resellers and select specialty stores and department stores.
Apple is betting its legions of loyal fans will embrace the shift to digital headsets that use wireless connections. Additionally, there are motion accelerometers detect your touch which will activate Siri.
The 32GB variant of the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 will cost $649 in the United States; in India, it’ll set you back by Rs. 60,000 ($903). It will be made available in all storage capacities including 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 256GB.
