Even if the new iPhone 7 sells well, as predicted by Apple, it would run dry soon as previous iPhones have.

The $572 billion company also has a tradition of unveiling first-weekend sales data of its newly launched products but this time around, the company has decided not to disclose iPhone7 first weekend unit sales. We’re willing to bet most iPhone users care more about the headphones in their ears than a few extra millimeters taking up space in their pockets.

Buying from Apple.com or the Apple Store usually isn’t an issue. The highlight of this week’s release was the improved camera that Apple has fitted inside both the iPhone 7 variants.

Apple has made the following statement on this particular option “The high-gloss finish of the jet black iPhone 7 is achieved through a precision nine-step anodization and polishing process”.

People quickly realised that, although Apple will include a 3.5-mm audio adapter in the box, the fact that this plugs into the Lightning port means that you won’t be able charge your phone or plug in a peripheral (a MIDI controller, for example) at the same time.

Get ready to carry around a lot of cables if you’re going to upgrade to the latest iPhone next week.

The company also announced it will offer Apple Watch Series 2, the next generation of the world’s most popular smartwatch and Apple Watch Series 1, beginning the same day.

You’re already guaranteed to be upgrading, so that could be prioritized in some way.

One adapter plugged into the phone, another adapter plugged into the original adapter and the headphones plugged into the second adapter that’s plugged into the adapter plugged into the iPhone 7. “It ups the ante to see if you can build a quality headphone”. Some, like the 32GB Black iPhone 7, say September 26 – 28.
