With the new iPhone 7, there are some major changes and some more subtle changes. So Apple is offering a faux-Bokeh effect with the iPhone 7 Plus.

In fact, users can now have 2x optical zoom using the unique camera technology that Apple is using.
There are rumors that Apple will be killing the home button next year, but for now it remains, albeit in hardly recognizable form.
The “Plus” edition, launched at the same event, has two cameras, including a telephoto lens.
On Sept. 28, 2015, when Apple announced record first-weekend sales of its iPhone 6, its stock dropped 2 percent, reflecting Wall Street’s worries about cooling demand.
“AirPods are the first headphones to deliver a breakthrough wireless audio experience, and they deliver innovative features including high quality sound, great battery life and automatic setup”, said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing.
The iPhone 7 was unveiled yesterday by Apple during a press conference in San Francisco.
Some critics don’t like the way the wireless Apple AirPods look and say they’re small enough to get lost easily.
Craig Hallum said it expected Apple to sell 211 million iPhones in the fiscal year ending September – marking the first ever year-over-year decline in annual sales – before bouncing back to an estimated 221 million in devices sales in 2017 and 240 million in 2018. If you want the top-end, then that will be a 256GB iPhone 7 Plus ($969), a black stainless steel case and link bracelet Apple Watch ($1049), and AirPods ($159) for a total cost of $2,177.
“Apple’s move tells Swiss high-end brands that they were right not to touch the connected watches”, Biver said.
For those not ready to detach, the iPhone 7 has a pair of headphones that come with it, and fit into the charging port. Which is just a fancy way of saying that this phone’s design is going to look very similar to last year’s phone. Even better, Apple is opening up functionality to developers. too. It certainly isn’t the sort of “magical” or “revolutionary” product the company used to routinely tout.
A truly innovative phone is tough to imagine in the current environment, and it may take someone entirely new to the field to re-imagine it, if it can in fact be done. The iPhone 7 will cost €769 while the iPhone 7 Plus will go for €909.

What’s even more wonderful is that the iPhone 7 Plus gets a stereo speaker setup which is louder than the speaker on the 6s, and offers a complete music package, which the single speaker on the Note 7 clearly lacks.
