Apple has announced the next generation of its popular smart devices, including the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and Watch Series 2. This doesn’t apply to the iPhone SE, though, whose 16GB variant will be available as it did earlier.

Apple CEO Tim said that the new model is the “best iPhone we’re ever created”.
Apple marketing executive Phil Schiller, in describing the company’s decision to axe the headphone jack, reportedly told attendees at the vendor’s iPhone showcase event in San Francisco on Wednesday that “it comes down to courage“. But one of the major changes in the design, which everyone is talking about, is the doing away with the 3.5 mm headphone jack. But despite the upgrade in storage capacity, Apple hasn’t raised the starting price for either model: both the Air 2 and the Mini 4 start at $399.
The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus come pre-installed with iOS 10 and packaged with EarPods with Lightning Connector, Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter, Lightning to USB Cable, USB Power Adapter and documentation. The iPad, while still popular compared to other tablets, is seeing a drop in sales, just like the tablet market in general is, and Apple likely can not justify a significant change at this point, knowing that consumers are unlikely to change their buying habits. This is 60 percent faster than the iPhone 6, making it more than just a small update on the technology. OnePulse, the UK’s opinion polling app, today revealed that nearly half (47%) of all iPhone lovers are ready to end their love affair with Apple if the iPhone 7 lacks a headphone jack. The iPhone 7 gets a 12MP camera with image stabilization, a larger f/1.8 aperture that lets 50% more light onto the lens.

However we should note that at this time of posting, it would seem that the majority of the Apple Watch Series 2 models are facing shipping delays. “The courage to move on, do something new that betters all of us”. “Water-resistant. Stereo speakers. Longer battery life”. So now Apple starts its base model iPhones at 32GB.
