Apple shares slip on heels of iPhone 7 launch

Soon after the launch of flagship iPhone 7, Apple has been criticized for eliminating the headphone jack.

Every year about this time, the tech giant unveils its latest iPhone. The new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will hit Indian shores on October 7.

Apple's other new color, black with a matte finish, was also in tight supply for the iPhone 7 Plus, with shipment dates of two to three weeks. Both devices are available in Jet Black, Black, Silver, Gold and Rose Gold.

If you purchase iPhone 6s at reduced pricing, you will be able to upgrade to iOS 10, which will be available OTA on September 13.

On the iPhone 7 Plus model, you get all this goodness along with an additional 12-megapixel telephoto lens which has double the zoom capability so now you have 10x zoom at your disposal.

Third: you will need an iPhone 7 to get that advertised 5-hour battery life - on non-optimized devices battery life will probably be lower.

The new editions of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, and the previous models, the 6S and 6S Plus, all start at 32 GB, which is twice the storage, and welcome.

However, the handsets will be sold with a headphone adaptor that plugs into the lightning port usually used to charge the phones. Second, it comes in the form of a stationary dock for your desk, instead of something more mobile that you could leave attached to your phone on the go. The iPhone 8 is rumored to have an edge-to-edge display, no home button, and support wireless charging.

Although the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will not have a 3.5 mm audio jack, they will come with an adapter for legacy headphones. Published on Thursday 8 September 2016So, as expected, Apple has dropped the traditional headphone socket from the next iteration of the iPhone, reckoning that wireless headphones are the future, or alternatively audio can be delivered via the lightning connector you use to charge the device. The A10 Fusion processor reportedly provides the longest battery life of any iPhone ever, making the newest generation of iPhones two times faster than its predecessor, the iPhone 6.
