Stereo Speakers

The latest iPhone 7 now includes stereo speakers, and there is no 3.5mm headphone jack. Instead, Earpods will connect via the Lightning port. Lightning Earpods will be included in the box, and so will an adapter for folks who are invested in 3.5mm compatible headphones.

Performance

The new A10 fusion has a four-core CPU: two high-performance CPU cores (each 40 percent faster than the A9) and two high-efficiency cores that run at one-fifth the power to save battery life.

A new performance controller determines which apps run on which core. And far more importantly, the new iPhones both have the best battery life of any previous iPhones. On average, you can expect to get about two hours from the iPhone 6s to the iPhone 7, and about an hour more on the iPhone 7 Plus than you would form the iPhone 6s Plus.

The iPhones 7 will come with storage options from 32GB to 128GB to 256GB. The iPhone 7 starts at $649 unlocked and iPhone 7 Plus starts at $769.

AirPods, for $159, go live in October.
