Some critics don’t like the way the wireless Apple AirPods look and say they’re small enough to get lost easily.

But the overwhelming demand for the new black and jet black iPhones in particular is prompting Apple to push delivery dates as late as November for some models.
The new editions of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, and the previous models, the 6S and 6S Plus, all start at 32 GB, which is twice the storage, and welcome. However, there are a lot of big changes.
Both the 7 and the 7 plus will not have an analog headphone jack. Apple is indeed going ahead with a long-rumoured decision to scrap the iPhone’s headphone jack in favour of connecting earphones via its Lightning charging port, or wirelessly.
iPhone users can get a jack adopter and use their old headphones or buy the new Apple AirPods.
The circular home button has also been overhauled to become “more responsive, more reliable and even customisable”. It’ll be best buddies with 3D Touch and other neat built-in features. Michael Phelps can now Instagram about his son from the watery depths of his pool. The iPhone 7 can film 4K ultra high definition video and can process faster. You have to pay $749 for 128GB and $849 for 256GB storage variants. It will be available in gold, rose gold, silver or space gray aluminum, silver or space black stainless steel cases, and even a new ceramic case too, starting September 16. We’d estimate it’s about the difference between a pair of jeans you just got and a pair you’ve washed once.
The investor note, which makes reference to a general belief that all the new iPhone models will come with a dual-camera module in 2017 as a trickle-down effect, places doubt on the possibility of the dual camera being adopted in non-Plus iPhones. You can also ask Siri to check the AirPods’ battery life. It partnered with Nintendo (NTDOY – Snapshot Report) to roll out Super Mario Run for this holiday season.
The second generation Apple Watches will have its first major hardware revamp. Courage to move on, do something new, that betters all of us. With the ability to capture two images simultaneously, the iPhone 7 Plus is effectively a three-dimensional camera. Waiting until later in the day might leave you disappointed as preorders have often sold out very quickly.
The moral of the story: consider the pros and cons.

He said the new so-called “lightning EarPods” would “revolutionise” the way users listened to phone calls, music and other audio feeds on their phones. Upgrade your iOS system instead. Once again, Android preempted the iPhone on this front, with the Meizu Pro 6 coming out with the same style back in April, but there’s no denying that the iPhone’s antennas are now better integrated into the phone’s overall shape, and they essentially disappear on that gorgeous matte black iPhone.
