The most significant upgrades in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus, which will retail for $649 and $769 respectively, relate to its camera and audio capabilities.

Meanwhile, here are a handful other Twitter reactions that illustrate some of the social-media aftermath thanks to doing away with the headphone jack.
Getting rid of the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack helped Apple make its new iPhone slimmer, boost its battery lifetime and add other improvements, including stereo speakers and a sharper camera. But the lighting adapter would be used to connect the earpods of the iPhone and will be shipped out with every box.
Apple has ditched the 16GB base variant and will sell the new iPhones in 32GB, 128GB and 256GB storage options. Shipping with the new watchOS 3 operating system, the smartwatch has been “completely re-engineered”, the company claims, and is now water resistant in depths of up to 50 meters. The app lets you collect items from Pokestops, hatch eggs and alert you to nearby Pokemon (you still need your phone to catch actual Pokemon).
Apple will hope the new smartphones can turn round its recent misfortunes with the iPhone – after sales of the iPhone 6 drove Apple to record profits and revenue, iPhone shipments have since dipped, leading to a 27% drop in revenue for the tech giant.
If you like PokemonGo, the iPhone 7/7 Plus and Apple Watch are for you. To make it waterproof, Apple changed the speaker design so after a swim, surf, or bubble bath, it can expel any water automatically. Similarly, the built-in microphones only work when you’re talking. The “Series 2” watch [pictured above] will also get a faster processor and a brighter display for outdoor use. Apple is also teaming up with Nike on a special edition, the Apple Watch Nike+, specifically for motivating and tracking runners.
There Wasn’t a New Mac in Sight: Apple didn’t announce new Macs at its press event, buttressing some analysts’ belief that Apple could hold another event next month focused on new Macs.
An improved Siri can transcribe your voicemails and write text messages.
The Apple audience was relatively quiet when the company announced EarPods will now connect through its lightning port, but Apple is asking us to have courage in the face of this adversity. You can use larger emojis and animations in your iMessages. I’ve been running the iOS 10 beta most of the summer and like the software a lot.
Similarly, video game character Mario is coming to iPhones.

Especially if you can bring one to the market that people won’t lose within two weeks. Basic objective like in any other Mario game. There’s also Toad Rally, which puts you in battle mode against friends or anyone around the world. There have been reports that Apple is working on a new MacBook Pro that would feature a touchbar above its keyboard as well as possible Touch ID support for additional security and Apple Pay.
