Apple will not announce first-weekend sales of iPhone 7

By the time most people are ready to upgrade to a headphone jack-less iPhone, the very change causing such a stir today could’ve helped lay the groundwork to make it worthwhile.

That said, I’ve also covered the drawbacks of sticking with the smaller iPhone. The larger iPhone 7 Plus edition will retail for $769 – $20 more than the iPhone 6s Plus – and will feature two cameras, including a telephoto lens.

Evidently, any pair of Bluetooth headphones is compatible with the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. The iPhone 7 Plus will cost a fair bit more, and start at £719 for the 32GB version, £819 for the 128GB model and £919 for the 256GB model.
