All the new announcements from Apple’s September launch event.
While many of us look forward to Christmas as the season of gift-giving, for Apple fans there’s another time of year for shiny new toys: early September. It’s the most wonderful time of year, when Tim Cook and Jony Ive dispense new iPhones and iPads to the grateful masses, and Phil Schiller makes awkward jokes on stage. Yes, we love Apple’s September launch events, even if they’re not quite Christmas. Clearly we’ve all been very good this year, because Apple unleashed a whole lot of goodies. Here’s what was under the Christmas tree this time.
iPhone 7 and 7 Plus
Another year, another Apple event where most of the juiciest details were leaked months in advance. Never mind, because they were good details, so we’re glad they came true.
There were cosmetic changes – a new matte Black option, as well as a glossy Jet Black finish (but be sure to use a case with that one to avoid ugly scratch marks and unsightly fingerprints). As expected, the antenna lines have become more integrated into the iPhone body so you get one uninterrupted finish on the back. So far, so pretty.
But this wasn’t just a simple aesthetic update for the iPhone – there are some serious changes to the components. We’ll start with probably the most infamous of all the prerelease rumours: the headphone jack (or the lack thereof). That’s right, Apple’s going wireless with the iPhone 7. Or, to be more accurate, wireless and Lightning-powered, because a pair of Lightning EarPods are included in the box with every iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Helpfully, Apple is also including a Lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adaptor in every box for free – perhaps Tim Cook is getting into the festive spirit early after all.
