IPhone 7 airpods to replace YOUR headphones, Apple rumours suggest

The site reports that Apple has increased its order for iPhone 7 components by 10%.

In the run-up the release of Apple’s new iPhone 7, a total of 371,000 new devices, weighing 211.50 tons in total, had been shipped from Zhengzhou, Central China’s Henan Province, to the United States and European markets as of Monday, media reports said. The report comes from sources in the phones supply chain in Taiwan. Sources say that the hike in order volumes indicates that Apple is being positive about replacement demand for the new iPhones.

As well as these bog standard earphones, the tech giant is expected to unveil some new Beats headphones at the iPhone launch this Wednesday as well as a dedicated set of Apple called “airpods” which will work wirelessly. The source predicted that shipments of the new iPhone will be only 60 per cent of the numbers recorded in the same time previous year. KGI blames the new iPhone for having less than expected innovative points to generate buzz around the new device.

That too makes sense as a date, as the iPhone 6S hit stores two weeks after pre-orders opened and as this is a more recent leak it could be more accurate, though it’s possible that the September 23 date only refers to carriers and not to SIM-free handsets.

The countdown continues on the iPhone 7, something expected to be unveiled on September 7 from San Francisco. The iPhone 7 isn’t listed on Apple’s website yet, but that’s because they want to wait until it’s unveiled.

Some other changes expected in the Apple lineup includes the addition of two new colours – dark black and piano black, with a total of five colour options. Though minimal features have overshadowed its coming, the select upgrades are widely expected to be present on the iPhone 7 Plus version. The other two storage options will be 128GB and 256GB.
