Despite all the criticism and poking fun, some believe that Apple’s AirPods are just the start of a wireless future which is plugged into a so-called “hearables” market which Reuters reports will reach US$16 billion within five years. Apple iPhone 6 is available at Rs 37,699 for the 16GB version, while the 64GB version is Rs 47,899.
Wells Fargo expects Apple to sell between 14-15 million of the new iPhones in the first weekend as the phones will be released in more countries that in previous years.
Pre-order supplies of the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus are starting to dwindle, with several of the new iPhone models now displaying shipping estimates ranging into November.
“The new iPhone not having a headphone jack is the worst idea of all time”, wrote one user on Twitter.
Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller said ditching the 50-year-old jack comes down to “courage to move on to something new”. The new Apple Watch Series 2 is water resistant to 50 meters for swimming and has built-in Global Positioning System for running. Oh, and it’s also offering £200 to any of you willing to trade in your iPhone 6 before September 30th and upgrade to the iPhone 7.
Apple released its latest iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus on Wednesday.
Apple’s critics were pretty vocal with their disappointment in the company for removing the 3.5mm headphone jack from the iPhone 7-a decision Apple made in part to free up more space for other internal components. Ultimately, it wasn’t Apple that killed the headphone jack, but simple math, and we’re willing to bet that most other smartphone manufacturers eventually follow suit. You’ll also find people complaining that the new iPhone model they want is backordered. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be available in 32GB, 128GB and 256GB storage variants in silver, gold and rose gold colours. Counterpoint data has shown iPhone 5s remains one of the top-selling Apple phones in India, given it is being sold between Rs 20,000-Rs 23,000 in the market.
Even if it does work, you might still end up needing not only the Belkin adapter, but also the 3.5-mm audio adapter that came with your iPhone 7, and a Lightning-to-USB adapter, both of which would plug into the Belkin one.
