Unveiled during the firm’s hotly-awaited launch event in San Francisco today, the new iPhone doesn’t look too different to last year’s iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus devices, sporting the same aluminium design and rounded edges – but this time without the iconic antenna lines. It is water-resistant to 50 metres and can track swimming laps for the first time.

The company announced at its big press event on Wednesday that new iPhones will start at 32GB for $649, followed by a 128GB option and a 256GB model.

“It’s the best iPhone we have ever created, this is iPhone7”. “It is jam-packed with new features”, Cook said. Phil Schiller, SVP of worldwide marketing, initially provided a very Apple response: “It really comes down to one word: courage”, he said. That’s good news for those of us who are constantly on our phones. How are you feeling about the advent of the new era in headphones, these wireless AirPods?

For photography fans, the iPhone 7 sports a 12-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization, a larger ƒ/1.8 aperture, and 6-element lens for what Apple says will be “more detailed photos and videos”. Some observers had argued this is a sign of iPhone’s maturing as it approaches its 10th birthday.

Will the iPhone 7 be waterproof?

Since Apple first blessed us with the iPhone in 2007, people everywhere have been calculating how to use their free phone upgrade so that it coincides with the latest generation’s release. Although the first Apple Watch can tap the Global Positioning System on a companion phone, that means carrying the phone with you as you hike or run.

The watch also gets in on the Pokemon Go craze of the summer with a game adaptation specifically for the device.

ICONS. Japanese game developer Shigeru Miyamoto and his brainchild Super Mario have made the jump to iOS – a surprising move given their parent company Nintendo’s tradition of exclusivity.
