To the delight of the iPhone Fans, Apple has launched the iPhone7 and iPhone 7 Plus, along with a set of wireless head phones (AirPods) and Apple Watch Series 2.

New 7 series iPhones come in two sizes, a 4.7-inch screen size for iPhone 7 and a 5.5-inch “Plus” variant. New phones feature several changes like a dust and water resistance, a pressure sensitive home button and a high-end camera with a ‘dual lens’ system (on iPhone 7 Plus) that enables you to easily capture the long range shots.

Apple’s CEO Tim Cook took to center stage at an Apple event in San Francisco to confirm that company is ditching the headphone jack. Users will either have to buy a pair of wired headphones that could plug into the Lightening port or use AirPods (a set of wireless Bluetooth headphones). Apple Watch Series Two was also revealed, which will be water resistant too.
