Apple is sued over unresponsive iPhone 6 touchscreens

Apple is sued over unresponsive iPhone 6 touchscreens

The newest addition to the batch is the iPhone 7 Pro. The tech giant is caught in the midst of a lawsuit over its iPhone 6 and 6S Plus, which is hurting the image of the company's smartphones just few days before the launch.

The event will take place at San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium at 5am NZ time.

Apple has held this event in September for the past five years and has announced a new edition of the iPhone at each one.

The background is black with a smattering of generic blurry lights - a possible nod to rumors the iPhone may get an improved camera with a dual-lens system. However, nothing has been set in stone yet and Apple is expected not to provide concrete details with regard to the development of iPhone 8. However, Apple has remained mum about the release date fuelling speculations of delay. As well as the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, Apple will use the press conference to show off the final version of iOS 10, and reveal when the free software update will be available to download. Apple will live-stream the event as usual, so you can join in as it unfolds.

More news: Team USA wins third Olympic gold in a row

We'll be following all the build-up to the iPhone 7 launch, and the event itself on Mirror Online, so stay tuned.

Sales of iPhones have slumped during the previous two quarters, though Apple still sold 40.4 million in the most recent quarter, which while representing a 14.9% year-over-year decline, are still an terrible lot of phones. Supply chain sources told the Nikkei Asian Review that both models of the new iPhone will face supply shortage during the first round of the rollout.

There may also be more hardware besides the iPhone 7. This is even more likely if we lose the audio jack, but gain hardware enhancements like wireless charging. From these rumors, the latest variants of the iPhone will have a lot in common with the iPhone 6 lineup. The Apple logo on the back will also see a slight update along with an extra speaker on the bottom of the phone (fingers crossed). The invite's caption only reads "See you on the 7th" and the design itself, which depicts what appears a blurry top to Apple's logo, does little to tell users what to expect.
