Apple didn’t give Wall Street analysts many surprises at its iPhone 7 and 7 Plus launch on Wednesday. Apple Watch now has an SOS feature that will send a message in case of emergency.

If you prefer to engage with your service providers directly, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile (iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus) and Verizon all allow you to make pre-orders on their websites, or by going to their stores. The iPhone 7, with 4.7-inch display, is $649. The AirPods will ship in late October and will sell for $159. Airpods are wireless headphones that connect to Apple devices through a non-Bluetooth wireless connection.
The screens are also 25 percent brighter and deliver a wider range of colors and increased contrast. Both are also water and dust-resistant. Plenty has already been said about these – the fact that they require charging up every five hours, issues over the sound quality, and the smallest elephant in the room – the ease with which anyone purchasing a pair will lose them.
Alongside the new Apple Watch Series 2, Apple this week announced an upgrade to the first-gen Apple Watch.
Design and Display The new Apple Watch Series 2 is the same size as the first Apple Watch, and once again, there are smaller and larger versions. They can also function as a microphone. A new running model designed in collaboration with Nike shows how seriously Apple is courting the endurance sports market. People that’ve been using an older iPhone from 2 or more year ago, especially will be looking to upgrade – but there’s also the people that are less-than-satisfied with what’s just happened in the Android universe. The game is expected to launch on the watch before the end of the year with fitness-tracking features such as distance walked, but players will still need to pull out their phone to catch a Pokemon. The game will be available during the holidays.
The Series 2 and Series 1 watches nearly have the same OLED Retina displays.
Apple Watch Series 2 is waterproof so you can wear it while swimming or surfing.

The iPhone 7 may not have been revolutionary, but analysts believe there’s enough to encourage existing customers to upgrade their phones and even convert some Android users, which might ultimately curb Apple’s declining sales.
