Following the trend of the iPhone 6, there are two new iPhones, the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus. The best part is – once the pairing is done, Apple will remember it on iCloud and automatically pair the headset with any Apple device that you’ve signed in with your account. Another thing we are pretty peeved about is the second-hand treatment the iPhone 7 seems to be getting when compared to the iPhone 7 Plus.

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus retain the same U.S. pricing from last year’s iPhone 6s series. Niantic Labs, the maker of the cultural sensation Pokemon Go, announced Tuesday that the game will be released for the watch, building upon the apps that it already has built for the iPhone and devices running on Google’s popular Android software. Of course, the antenna bands are now nearly invisible too.
The Home button is force sensitive. One is a wide-angle lens and the second is a telephoto lens. Coming to pricing, iPhone 7 is priced at $659 for the base 32GB variant. With smartphone cameras going into overdrive elsewhere, any change from Apple is a big deal.
The new iPhone 7 camera has a new f/1.7 lens that lets in more light and a 12-MP sensor that’s faster and more efficient.
They’ll also be bumping up the 6S and 6S Plus to 16GB and 64GB. There’s a flicker sensor, created to cut out those flickers during video capture. The feature is now powered by a new haptic engine. The more expensive and larger iPhone 7 Plus boasts the biggest change, with two digital camera lenses. The “Series 2” watch will also get a faster processor and a brighter display for outdoor use. This will arrive as a software update for iPhone 7 Plus users later in 2016.
While Apple will certainly keep the iPhone front and center, it will be telling to see how much of the company’s focus is on the new phones that it debuts Wednesday, and how much of the presentation centers on all the the ways Apple wants to make the phone and other devices into remote controls for users’ lives. Also in the box: an adapter consisting of two plugs connected by a short length of cable, which will connect older headphones to the charging port.
Apple itself launched a new pair of wireless “AirPods” earphones at Wednesday’s showcase, and announced new wireless Beats headphones as well.
The AirPods offer up to 5 hours of battery life and come with a charging case that has a built-in battery that allows you to get up to 24 hours of power on the go. The new ISP performs 100 billion operations every time you take a picture.
The new A10 Fusion chip powers the iPhone 7, which is 120x faster than the original iPhone and has four cores. There’s a boost to graphics too. Well Apple has not confirmed India pricing for iPhone 7 and the Plus device, but expect them to come with a heavy price tag.
Capacity: 32, 128, and 256 GB. Cook also boasted about the more intuitive design of the iOS 10 Music app, and that Apple Music was the first place to listen to over 70 new releases. It will be available as a free download beginning September 13.
