At an event in San Francisco, California on 7 September Apple has publicly announced its new flagship iPhones, the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus with dual cameras, new design features and tons of power.

Specifications

• Size and feel: same 4.7-inch screen, Apple says the “HD Retina display” is 25 percent brighter than last year’s model
• New Static home button: kind of like the Motorola Moto Z and OnePlus 3, pressure-sensitive, including “taptic feedback”
• Faster processor: The iPhone 7’s new A10 Fusion chip is a 64-bit, quad-core processor that Apple says is 40 percent faster than last year’s A9 processor to handle more intensive multi-tasking capability.
• New 12-megapixel camera: adds a larger aperture and plus the important optical image stabilization that keeps images steadier. The iPhone 7 Plus gets a second camera.
• New front-facing camera: The iPhone 7’s 7-megapixel front-facing camera leaps up from 5 megapixels on the iPhone 6S, and includes auto-image stabilization (but not optical image stabilization).
• No more headphone jack:  Apple’s new EarPods headphones will connect through the Lightning connector port; you’ll also get an adaptor in the box
• New Stereo speakers:  one at the bottom and one at the top
• Water-resistant: Yes, Virginia, it will be water-resistant (IP67)
• Longer battery life: Greater battery capacity for longer battery life. Apple estimates 12 hours of LTE browsing (the iPhone 7 Plus should clock about two more hours).
• Even more storage!: 32GB, 128GB, 256GB capacities
• Colors: Glossy jet black, matte black, gold, silver, rose gold (P.S.: New jet black is only available in 128GB and 256GB models)
