The iPhone 7 is faster, clearer, louder, and water resistant

Plus, it comes in two new colors: the glossy “jet black”, and a matte finish simply called “black”.

Put that bag of rice away and stand down with the hair dryer: The iPhone 7 is Apple’s first officially water-resistant iPhone. The starting price for the iPhone 7 begins at $649, and the 7 Plus at $769.

Additionally, Apple is now offering the iPhone 6s with the same amounts of memory.

The new iPhone will be available to purchase on September 16, and pre-orders start today.

To be fair, the iPhone 7 offers some solid improvements over last year’s model, including a water-resistant design and a faster processor that should improve battery life. Apple has released iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus with an enhanced camera and extra storage.

So why did Apple do away with the auxiliary port? They are completely wireless and connect to your phone by placing them by your phone. You’ll definitely want to plug in your headphones (before ditching them for a pair of AirPods) and settle in to enjoy the experience. It was also reported that the new AirPods are compatible with other models of the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

The camera also has image stabilization as well as a camera flash that will have several settings.

It also has a 5MP front-facing camera with an f/1.7 aperture and auto-HDR mode.

On top of these, the new iPhone is the first to have stereo speakers, which are found on the top and the bottom of the phone and are reportedly twice as loud as previous iPhone speakers. In addition, it will allow for a clearer zoom. But, which one of the two phones is better?

KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, possibly the best Apple analyst in the industry, is already making predictions about the 2017 Apple iPhone models. This quad-chip features 64-bit architecture that is supposedly 120x smarter than the original iPhone. Exclusively made for iOS, Super Mario Run will be available in the Apple App Store in December. We can say that the prices will be parallel with the previous models, though the state of the exchange rate will determine the prices.

Apple also unveiled the new Apple Watch Series 2, which will be available at the same time as the new iPhone.

Water- and dust-resistant features are seen as another fixture for new smartphones. They also now feature built-in Global Positioning System and a new GPU that is twice as fast as on previous models. The faux rollout even includes a pixel-perfect Apple product page at ApplePlugs.com with 3-D graphics and lofty PR blurbs.
