SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Apple wants to push consumers further into a wireless world. Instead, it will use lightening-compatible or wireless headphones.
Start with the AirPods themselves. This all-new architecture enables faster processing when it’s needed and the ability to use less power when possible, making for two more hours of battery life on the iPhone 7 compared to the iPhone 6s and one more hour on the iPhone 7 Plus compared to the iPhone 6s Plus.
This means the United Kingdom consumer will pay an extra £81 – nearly 16% more than the U.S. average. If you do know about it and you do use it, it might be a reason to revisit the question of storage.
The company said on Thursday (Friday NZT) it will not release first-weekend iPhone sales data, saying the number was more a reflection of supply than demand.
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 new AirPods are based on Bluetooth standards.
The result allows a “seamless connection between you and your devices”, said Apple chief design officer Jony Ive in a promotional video. More smartphones manufacturers will try this feature and, in the future, we could be more used with the wireless headphones than we the normal ones.
As is customary with new Apple products, these too were veiled in a cloud of secrecy.
Some early reviewers are already captivated by the AirPod. You have a pair of headphones that feels the same, but untethered and itching to get lost. And I gotta say, this feels really good and looks good in person.I’m gonna be grabbing that matte black.
The fact that Apple decided not to use headphones anymore could be the beginning of a big change.
“It’s not just about your iPhone anymore”, she said.
Until then, we took a test drive for you at a hands-on area after Apple’s big event. While the company sold almost 92 million iPhones in the first six months of this year, that’s about 15 percent fewer than the same period last year.
Another new colour – the jet black finish – will be offered exclusively on the 128GB (Dhs2,999 for the 7 and Dhs Dhs3,499 for the 7 Plus) and 256GB (Dhs3,399 for the 7 and Dhs3,899 for the 7 Plus) models on Apple.com, Apple stores, authorised resellers and select carriers. Hence expect at least two more hours of usage on the iPhone 7 and one hour more usage on the iPhone 7 Plus. A 3.5mm headphone jack to be more precise. Jet black will be an option for either the 128 GB or 256 GB models, while the other colors will come in 32 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB models.
