iPhone 7 UK release date: 7 September 2016 (launch), 16 September (on sale)
The cat is finally out the bag, and Apple has unveiled its iPhone 7 to the world. There are some welcome changes in the new iPhone, for example the new stereo speakers and IP67 waterproofing, as well as the faster performance available from the Apple A10 Fusion processor. However, the much rumoured dual-lens camera made its way only to the iPhone 7 Plus (see the next slide).
We're less pleased by the loss of the headphone jack (you now need to use a pair of Lightning-connected headphones or use the adaptor supplied in the box with your old ones). And what sounded fantastic at the launch event - that Apple would keep the iPhone 7 at the same price as the iPhone 6s but with double the storage capacity - turned out to be true only in the US. In the UK the entry-level iPhone 7 is £60 more expensive than was the 16GB iPhone 6s, and the price gap increases for the other models.
