Customers can purchase iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, Apple Watch Series 2 and Apple Watch Series 1 beginning Friday, September 16. iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will also be available. The iPhone 7 removes the standard 3.5mm audio jack in favour of audio over the Bluetooth protocol and its proprietary Lightning port. The iPhone 7 Plus has a second lens that is a 2X optical zoom without any image degradation. Both phones have also ditched the headphone jack. In fact, the first accessory for Apple’s in-house wireless headphones will look oddly familiar to anyone who has ever used headphones since they came into existence. If your phone was two or three years old and wearing out, there’s a new phone waiting for you that will be better than what you have.
Robots queue for the iPhone 7 for those too busy to queue themselves, at the Spark store on Queen St, Auckland. Reviewers generally applauded the new jump in performance. Since going live at midnight Friday, iPhone 7 pre-ordering through T-Mobile “has shattered all previous iPhone pre-order records”, the company said today in a statement.
Though many Android smartphones offer 3GB of RAM or more, most iOS devices – including the smaller 4.7-inch iPhone 7 – top out at 2GB. The lawsuit says, “While scores of customers signed up for the program and were ready to take advantage of the every-year upgrade with the release of the new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, Apple had a different plan in mind”.
If you’re phone contract is up I see little downside to upgrading – unless you want the tenth anniversary iPhone due next year.

Only one charging device can be connected at one time – so there’s no connecting two chargers to fill your new iPhone’s battery faster. The iPhone 7 Plus gets 2900 mAh, versus 2750 mAh in the iPhone 6s Plus. The dual camera technology is not on the iPhone 7.
