Apple is betting big on a wireless world

If you think that mid-range Android phones will not match the quality of iPhone 7 front camera take a look at the Gionee S6s or the Oppo F1s. Additionally, Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus now features the Taptic Engine haptic feedback system to make the home button that much better.

The new device will go on sale in Ireland on Friday, September 16th, with pre-orders starting tomorrow. Clearly not everyone was pleased with the cold turkey manner of the audio jack’s removal, and so much drama, a company called “Nicer” made a decision to take a dig at Apple and it is a hilarious take. Since January, I’ve likely written 200 pieces detailing rumors, leaks, analysts’ expectations and it’s nice to finally see the iPhone 7 Plus.

If Apple’s Earpods never really fit snugly in your ears, well, you’d probably do well to stay away [from the Airpods]. The models will be available in silver, gold, rose gold and the new black finish in 32GB, 128GB and 256GB configurations. Additionally, at the event, Apple’s Phil Schiller called the 12-megapixel sensor that was announced for the iPhone 6S Plus is not 60% faster and 30% for efficient in the iPhone 7 Plus.

With the release of the iPhone 7, Apple ditched the traditional headphone set and headphone jack in favor of the AirPods, which are wireless earbuds that automatically connect to your Apple devices and have a 24 hour battery life.

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”. Apple kept focusing on iPhone 7’s black colour option just to remind everyone that there is something new about this device, after all. We even saw dual camera setup launched on a sub Rs 10000 phones – Xolo Black.

The latest iPhone 7 is the first waterproof iPhone.

This gap in price grows along with the model of the phone, meaning the top-end 256GB iPhone 7 plus is now £919, seeing customers pay £100 more. “It is jam-packed with new features”, Cook said.

Of course, these new models all have double the storage of last year’s iPhones, but in the US, Apple isn’t charging any extra for this increased capacity.

The new phones will come with iOS 10, which introduces an update to Messages, the ability for its virtual assistant Siri to do more by working with apps, new ways to interact with redesigned apps. Still, we’d definitely recommend pointing your browser over to the Apple Plug at the source, where you’ll surely get a few laughs.
