The iPhone 7 is just a few short hours away from reserving your own. Apple did a ton of changes to sort of catch the iPhone up to Android standards – in a way.
Apple’s latest adds an IP67 water-resistant body, a Force Touch + non-clickable Home button, a 7MP FaceTime camera, OIS to the 4.7inch 12MP camera, a dual camera setup for the 5.5inch model adding a 2x telephoto lens, faster A10 Fusion CPU w/ a slightly longer battery life, running iOS 10, and more. They also did a few subtractions to it as well w/ the 3.5mm headphone jack and the 16GB + 64GB storage sizes.
There are tons of different pricing, promos, etc. for the i7 and more to come. Here are a few things you should know in regards to pricing for the iPhone 7.
