Translation: machine translated
At a keynote event on Wednesday, Apple presented its latest innovations. We now have a clear idea of what to expect with the new iPhone and Apple Watch.
Rumours have been flying thick and fast. The iPhone is expected to have more cameras, the Apple Watch will be equipped with GPS and the mobile phone will no longer have a 3.5mm headphone jack. But the time has come to put an end to all that speculation. Because now that Apple CEO Tim Cook has presented them, we know everything.
The essentials of the new iPhone 7:
What's new with the Apple Watch and other products:
iPhone with no headphone jack
A lot of people expected it, and it's now a sure thing: the 3.5mm jack for headphones is a thing of the past. All headphones will be plugged into the mobile phone via the Lightning port. But wait before you throw away those good old headphones that kept you isolated on the bus or train to listen to music because you couldn't stand other people. A Lightning to 3.5mm adapter is included.
New products from Beats by Dr. Dre, which have the new Lightning adapter connectors are compatible.
Apple also presented its AirPods, wireless headphones that connect to the iPhone via Bluetooth. Very interesting: manufacturer Bragi released a new model of wireless headphones, the Bragi - The Headphone model, a day before Apple's keynote.
Farewell button, hello cameras
High earners and those with very high standards will be able to enjoy the new photo quality. Because Apple isn't skimping on storage capacity. The iPhone 7 is available with between 32GB and 256GB of memory. The Jet Black high-gloss edition will not be available with the smaller memory.
