Here’s breaking up the key specifications of both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus for you to decid.
The new ceramic Apple Watch Edition starts at Rs 110,900 from select Apple authorised resellers and carriers. The iPhone 7 starts at $649 – the same as the iPhone 6s, but doubling the amount of storage, from 16 gigabytes to 32 GB. So, a total of five colors is what we see here – Rose Gold, Gold, Silver, Black, and Jet Black. One of the most pleasant surprises that the launch brought along was the announcement by the company that the new models carry the best battery life on any iPhone ever.
At its heart is the newest A10 Fusion chipset with 64-bit four-core CPU, which is claimed to be twice as fast as the A8 chipset.
iPhone 7 has 12 megapixel rear camera, with f/1.8 aperture, Focus Pixels, Optical Image Stabilisation, quad-LED (dual tone) flash, 4K video recording.
Apple says this new software makes it simpler to launch favorite apps with the latest information already updated in the background.
The phone has better audio quality with new stereo speakers which are at the top and bottom of the phone. Getting rid of the jack also increased room for stereo speakers, and Apple sharpened the technology on most features, from the camera to a pressure-sensitive home button to a boost in memory. What’s more, Apple said users can begin an outdoor workout immediately as Apple Watch Series 2 uses the aforementioned Global Positioning System, as well as Wi-Fi and locally stored satellite data to identify location. The new Apple Watch is priced at $369.
Further, Apple’s high-end Apple Watch Edition model will be available in a ceramic, which, Apple noted, is “one of the hardest materials in the world” and comes “with a lovely, white, pearl-like finish” starting at $1249.
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be available in more than 25 countries beginning September 16 and the products will be “available to customers in India beginning October 7”. The wireless headphones can also seamlessly switch from calls to music and allow consumers to access Siri with a double tap.
Apple “AirPods” wireless ear pieces and adaptors to plug old-fashioned wired headsets into Lightening ports will come with iPhone 7 models, according to Schiller. The Air Pods will last up to 5 hours without recharging.
Apple also removed the analog headphone jack from both new models, as was widely expected. Apple includes the adapter. AirPods require Apple devices running iOS 10, watchOS 3 or macOS Sierra.

While Costello said Apple Watch has been a big success for Apple – noting Apple Watch is the top-selling smart watch and CEO Tim Cook said it is also the #2 watch in the world in terms of revenue, behind only Rolex, which is no small feat for a new market in 18 months – he added the issue is that the smart watch market is much smaller than the fitness tracker market, which is what Apple needs to crack now.
