The downside, however, is that nearly all devices like speakers, AUX cables and other gadgets require the 3.5 mm audio port that Apple has eliminated. Thanks to a software upgrade later this year, iPhone 7 Plus owners will be able to enhance their pictures by using depth-of-field effects to blur the background but keep foreground subjects in focus.

Apple launched a number of devices last night.
Apple CEO Tim Cook introduced the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, calling it the “best, most advanced iPhone ever, packed with unique innovations that improve all the ways iPhone is used every day”.
Ahead of Apple’s event yesterday, it was reported that we could be looking at new Beats by Dre products alongside the new iPhone and Apple Watch, and sure enough the reports were true.
The company will also bundle Lightning Connector Earpods and Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter with the smartphones.
The new ceramic Apple Watch Edition starts at Rs 110,900 from select Apple authorised resellers and carriers.
Apple Watch Series 1 will be available in gold, rose gold, silver or space grey aluminium cases paired with a Sport Band and starts at Rs 23,900.
All three headphones will also take advantage of the new Apple W1 chip for audio output, so in case the AirPods weren’t to your liking, these are three alternatives you could consider.
AirPods require Apple devices running iOS 10, watchOS 3 or macOS Sierra.
Both the smartphones are powered by a new quad-core Apple A10 Fusion processor, which it claims is 40 per cent faster than the previous generation.
The 12MP camera includes optical image stabilisation on both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, and a larger AE’/1.8 aperture and 6-element lens enable brighter, more detailed photos and videos.

The models also have a new home button which is now touch sensitive and uses a new Taptic engine for better response.
