September 16, 2016, iPhone lovers will never forget this day. Apple Inc. released the latest iPhone 7 and 7S in a record 28 countries all over the world, making it the biggest launch ever. Apple had announced that only those people who had registered for the purchase of the iPhone 7 models would be able to avail the delivery on the release date. Hence, come rain or shine, people queued up for the delivery. The first-day purchase has its own charm.

In London, it rains a lot. September 16th was not different. However, that did not deter the people from standing in the queue patiently. One of the best features of the iPhone 7 and 7S models is that it is a waterproof phone. so testing the phone in the torrential rain would not be a problem.

Apple had caused a few flutters when they announced that there would be no headphone jacks in this latest version. This would force people to either go back to their old Bluetooth headphones or purchase the latest Apple AirPods. This is of course a great way to market the Apple AirPods, due for release in October 2016.

New stereo speakers offer amazing and immersive sound that is two times louder than iPhone 6s, offering increased dynamic range of sound and a higher quality speakerphone. The new iPhone comes with EarPods with Lightning connector to deliver incredible sound, as well as a 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter that allows customers to use old headphones and accessories.

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus come in a gorgeous design in silver, gold and rose gold finishes and introduce two all-new black finishes, a beautiful black finish that has an anodised matte appearance, and an innovative jet black finish that has a deep, high-gloss look. The new jet black finish is accomplished through an innovative nine-step process of anodisation and polish for a uniform, glossy finish. An entirely reengineered enclosure results in a water resistant iPhone offering protection like never before against spills, splashes and dust.
