A first in any iPhone to scrap its headphone jack, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will include a set of EarPods with a Lightning connector. However, an adapter comes in the box so users can still use 3.5mm headphones with the device.
It features a design similar to the rounded aluminum body of iPhone 6S. But instead of the matte metal finish of its predecessor, the newest iPhones have glossy and mirrored design.
The new color is called Jet Black, much darker and richer than the Space Black of years past. Apple will also release other color options like standard black, gold, silver, and rose gold.
It's water resistant, meaning you can get these iPhones wet without worry at all. It boosts the long-rumored dual camera system and stereo speakers.
iPhone 7's home button utilized the Force Touch trackpads in recent MacBook laptops, making them force sensitive while providing different vibration feedback for various alerts.
The standard iPhone 7 camera has 12-megapixel sensor with f/1.8 lens allowing more light than the f/2.2 of iPhone 6S, meaning the phones have equal image resolution but 60 percent faster and 30 percent more efficient.
The front camera on the iPhone 7 was pegged to 7 megapixels with automatic image stabilization for better selfies and video recording.
But iPhone 7 Plus has the superb dual camera systems that allow for true 2x optical zoom without loss of image quality. One of the lenses is equivalent to 28mm for wide angle shots while the other has a closer, 60mm equivalent lens. Its digital zooming capability can be extended up to 10x.
Apple said the new phones will be available for purchase on Sept. 16, though preorders start on Sept. 9.
The iPhone 7 will start with 32GB of storage for $649 (a long awaited upgrade from the 16GB that used to be in the base model) and goes up to 256GB for $849. The larger iPhone 7 Plus is actually more expensive than its predecessor, starting at $769 for the 32GB version and go up to $969 for the top model.
The device was revealed by Apple's Twitter account ahead of being announced on stage, a rare blunder for an Apple product launch.
