Pre-sales, which began Friday, were the biggest in T-Mobile’s history, breaking records for both single-day orders and pre-sales placed in the first four days. Pre-orders for Apple’s latest have already shattered sales records in the first four days – up almost 4x over the smash-hit iPhone 6. In September 2015, the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus did reach a record of 13 million units sold in the first three days after the launch.
Apple iPhone 7 was officially launched last week, and sales begin this Friday, September 16 in the USA and other select countries. But Apple hasn’t just gone with a dual-lens setup in the iPhone 7 Plus’ camera; it has also added a machine learning element to the image signal processor to ensure non-blurry images in any lighting conditions.
More than the criticism about the latest edition of the iPhone being design resistant and water resistant, what should be worrisome is the nearly immediate resumption of the rumor mills suggesting that the successor of the iPhone 7, slated to arrive this time next year, could do away with the home button.
APPLE customers are furious after the latest update to the operating software rendered their phones temporarily useless.
According to Sprint, the iPhone 7 sales this weekend were more than 375% higher than in 2015.
Last year was an “S” year for Apple. And in October, Apple will also introduce completely wireless earbuds (dubbed AirPods, naturally) that connect to the iPhone 7, not through Bluetooth but via a new syncing technology that Apple claims is instantaneous and – brace yourselves – can sense exactly when you’ve placed them in your ears or taken them out. Other stores in NY also have short lines at this time, based on photos sent in by MacRumors readers.
“The problem was quickly resolved and we apologise to those customers”.

“Less data is never good, particularly given the question marks around this phone”, BGC Partners’s Colin Gillis said, adding that investors will not be happy about losing a data point. Since then, another industry analyst has suggested Apple could opt for (possibly transparent) Zirconia ceramic due to its durable nature and heat dissipating qualities – this is the material Apple has used for the Series 2 Apple Watch, and is also a material Kuo has suggested before. In pre-market hours, the shares have gained $0.87 or 0.81%.
