And while this message is certainly exciting for Apple fanboys, it’s worth knowing that this doesn’t necessarily mean that sales of the iPhone 7 will begin later today.

The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus is expected to offer a hardware upgrade for greater power, enhanced displays, a redesigned home button and, perhaps controversially, drop the 3.5mm headphone socket.
As the world gears up for Apple’s big iPhone 7 announcement later in the day, KGI analyst Ming Chi Kuo has revealed that the company is also preparing to launch high-end wireless earphones called AirPods.
It will likely come with 2GB of RAM, a 2.4GHz A10 chip, and a 12MP camera.
There have also been reports that wired headphones could be made available that connect through the phone’s Lighting port, now used for battery charging.
The iPhone has traditionally shipped with a pair of Apple’s iconic earbuds, made famous in early advertising for the iPod music player. The iPhone 7 is only a few hours away from becoming official, and rumours have been circulating thick and fast.
Apple introduced the scheme with the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, but if you’ve got an older phone – or a newer, non-flagship device like the iPhone SE – you can still sell it back to Apple for credit through their trade-in programme. Though with the time of the launch nearing, speculations are running wild about the specifications and the new upgrades in the phones.
Most existing headphones won’t plug into the iPhone’s charging port without an adapter. “And they get in the way when you’re exercising”. The Apple Watch 2 will include Global Positioning System, a new faster chip and other changes.
“It might be good if you had a Bluetooth headset that connects to your phone and your watch at the same time”, she said.
If you want to watch the event live on your TV, you’ll need a second or third generation Apple TV with software 6.2 or later or a 4th generation Apple TV.

Watching iPhone 7 launch on Windows 10 is easy, all you have to do is fire up the Microsoft Edge browser on your Windows 10 enabled machine. This will be a big add on to the already long-list of features by Apple.
