Apple launched the latest iteration of its iPhone, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, today. The company will start selling the handsets in India starting the 7th of October, with a starting price of Rs 60,000 for the base model. Apple has not yet announced the pricing for other models in the country. In the US, the iPhone 7 will cost $650 (~Rs 43,000) for the entry level model, with the highest end iPhone 7 Plus priced at $849 (~Rs 56,000). New features include a starting storage space of 32GB, as opposed to 16GB on previous models. Users can also get 128GB or 256GB models of the phone. The iPhone 7 comes with a four core, 64-bit, A10 fusion processor and a 4.7 inch screen with a 1334*750 resolution screen (despite a significant number of Android phones sporting resolutions as high as 2560*1440p, it looks like Apple is still going to continue using the meaningless moniker ‘Retina Display’). Other new features include dual-back cameras (what Android phones have been doing since 2014), waterproof and dust resistant finish (again, Android got there first), and a touch sensitive area instead of a button (Android phone have been available without buttons since forever). The new phones also use a lightning adapter instead of a headphone jack, although the company ships the phones with an adapter for standard headphones. Another ‘feature’ is the introduction of stereo speakers. Finally, the company also launched 2 new colours for the iPhone - Black and Jet Black.…
