IPhone 7, Iphone 7 Plus and Apple Watch 2 Launched

Continuing from Probable Launch of IPhone 7, Iphone 7 Plus and Apple Watch 2 Today


What I missed dearly yesterday was Steve Jobs on the Stage. That guy was magical, be it the 1984 Mac Launch (Watch Here) or the 2007 IPhone Launch (Watch Here)

While nothing exciting was happening Amazon decided to add some spice by showing a glimpse of Iphone 7 before it was launched. 

Funny that Mario one of my favourite plumbers had to be brought in and that made Nintendo shares rise by 29 percent while Apple's barely moved.

From my checklist lets quick see what made through

Correct - No headphone 3.5mm socket
Correct - Headphones can be used on Lightning port or bluetooth
Partially Correct 12 and 7 Megapixel - Dual 12 megapixel SLR quality camera
Correct - 256GB Variant possible
Correct and that too IP67 - Water Resistant if not Proof
Not Sure - 3D touch on lock screen
Not Sure - Enhanced messaging App
Not Sure - New widgets screen

Correct - Pressure sensitive home button

Will know more as I lay hands on the extra shiny black handset with a better processor(A10 Fusion), memory and battery. Overall if they would have called it IPhone 6.5 it would not be entirely wrong.

I am not an apple fanboy though I have been using my macbook for the last 6 years and my Ipad and IPhone for a few years. With player like Samsung Note 7, I am not sure how satisfactory Apple's release is going to be, wether it will be worth selling a kidney for or not but one thing is for sure.

Everyone is waiting with bated breath, the suspense unfolds in a few hours.
