On Tuesday, U.S. telecommunications holding companies T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) and Sprint (NYSE: S) announced heavy pre-orders for Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) new iPhone 7 mobiles. “Since Sprint began accepting pre-orders on September 9, new and existing customers have been placing orders for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus at a rate almost four times greater than this time past year”. It showed that the first weekend’s results, “shattered all previous iPhone pre-order records at T-Mobile”. Sprint said it is also seeing soaring preorder rates for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, which are up more than 375 percent in the first three days over last year’s release of the iPhone 6s models, according to a September 13 announcement by the company. But the cheapest 32GB iPhone 7 will cost 599 pounds ($799) in the U.K. That’s equivalent to a price hike of 11% over the iPhone 6S, which was available for 539 pounds.

The new Apple iPhones are being launched in phases across the globe.
The iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus is up for pre-order in several countries across the world.
iPhone 7 is up for pre-order and when it comes to pre-orders there are so many factors that account into a purchase. If you are someone that cares about benchmarks or winning at spec comparisons then get the Note 7 by all means (after the battery issues have been fixed though) otherwise, the “experience” of using the iPhone 7 and 7 plus might actually be a better fit. It won’t even hurt your tiny pocket to buy a new pair of wireless headphones, after all, the new wireless headphone known as the Apple AirPod will be released this October. Apple is also changing something people did countless times a day; it’s hard to unlearn years of training simply because the company updated iOS. The carrier does not say whether that is a new record for the iPhone.
