Apple unveiled its new water and dust-resistant iPhone 7 with high-resolution cameras at its fall product event on Wednesday (September 7).
The world’s best-known technology company said the iPhone 7, starting at $649, would have one, zooming 12-megapixel camera. The ‘Plus’ edition, starting at $769, would feature two cameras.
It also removed the analog headphone jack, as was widely expected. The new headphones supplied by Apple with the phone will plug into the same port as the recharging cord, but it will also work with Apple’s new wireless headphones, called Air Pods, available in late October at a price of $159.
The new phone will start shipping in major markets, including the United States and China on Sept. 16.
Apple typically gives its main product, which accounts for more than half of its revenue, a big makeover every other year and the last major redesign was the iPhone 6 in 2014.
Apple said its Apple Watch Series 2, with a swim-proof casing, will be available in more than 25 countries starting on Sept. 16.
