The New iPhones – iPhone 7 and 7 Plus

Apple just took the wraps off its new iPhones – the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.

The highlight of these new phones are their waterproof and dust-proof features, improved camera, improved home button, and the lack of a headphone jack (which confirmed the rumors).

The new iPhones will come with a new pair of earbuds that connect via the lighting port. Since there is still a plethora of devices using the auxiliary cable, Apple is throwing in an adapter on the bundle.

The iPhone 7 Plus is more enticing to avid shooters because it has a dual-camera setup at the back. One is a wide angle lens while the other is telephoto.

The new iPhones are expected to be 40% faster than their predecessors. Moreover, Apple said that they will last one hour longer on a single charge compared to past iPhones.

These phones come in two finishes – plain black and shiny jet black.

Both devices will be released in select locations on September 16 and pre-order has already started.
