IPhone 7, 7 Plus now up for pre-order on Apple’s website

At the iPhone 7 unveiling event, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president for worldwide marketing, said the company took away the classic headphone jack because the time had come. These improvements are big enough to have helped many consumers get past the loss of the headphone jack. The standard iPhone 7 comes with a 12MP camera, while the iPhone 7 Plus boasts a dual-camera system, with a wide-angle and telephoto lens that provides 2x optical zoom, and 10x digital zoom for photos.

While the jet black iPhone 7 will retain the sturdiness that is to be expected of the device lineup, it would appear that scratches are something to watch out for. Its surface is equally as hard as other anodized Apple products; however, its high shine may show fine micro-abrasions with use.

If you want to play music on an iPhone 7, you’ll either have to use wireless Bluetooth headphones or plug new adapter-based headphones into the port you use to charge the device.

This year, the Note 7 launched at $849 and is again less expensive than the 128GB iPhone 7 Plus.

It spreads the cost of the iPhone over 20 months, but after a year you trade in and upgrade to a new phone which essentially resets the plan. However, in reality, the company seems to have “forgotten” to tell the side of the story.

Here’s how you can charge your iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and use headphones at the same time. This means users cannot listen to music at the same time unless they own a pair of wireless headphones. A 3.5mm headphone jack to be more precise.

Typically, Apple publishes both pre-order and launch numbers very shortly after the launch of new handsets. However, they do come in with a hefty price tag of around United States dollars 159.

Water-resistant: While the new iPhone 7 variants are IP67 certified, making them entirely water and dust resistant, the $159 AirPods are not water resistant at all. It easily had the most robust processor of any of its contemporaries (and this now only gets better with the A10 Fusion), and the 3D Touch feature was unique and innovative (although apparently not really all that appreciated, given that Apple saw a year-over-year sales decline during the iPhone 6s cycle).
