Now it can be confirmed, well, for the most part. Apple itself confirms nothing, but trusted tech insiders are. Apple’s anticipated iPhone 7 to launch September 9, 2016.
That’s a bit misleading. Pre-orders are expected to start September 9. The iPhone 7 will be available in Apple stores September 16, according to many tech insiders. This 5.5 inch smartphone should have major hardware changes. This includes a new duel lens camera, missing headphone jack, twin external speakers, and Smart Connector. One debut feature is the blue color option. The iPhone 7 Plus will be a little slimmer than the iPhone 6 Plus. There has been many concerns with iOS 9.3.3. But Apple and their insiders assure such concerns have been resolved. Remember the iPhone SE, the bite sized iPhone that came out in March 2016? From what I’m reading, that was a pre-cursor to iPhone 7. When someone gives you a product for a deep discount, they hope you buy the real thing at regular price. That’s what Apple did with iPhone SE. iPhone SE was the promo. iPhone 7 is the product they really want you to invest in. Apple stocks depend on iPhone 7 success. So does Apple’s competitive spirit. Last time I checked, Apple only controlled 26% of the tablet market. Android controlled 65%.
I know iPhone 7 isn’t a tablet. But if iPhone 7 beats expectations, maybe that can spill into the tablet market. I bet Tim Cook hopes so. With caution, I commend iPhone with the SE strategy. They’d better hope people want the real product. Many people are satisfied with just the samples and promo discounts. So Apple lovers, mark September 9 on your calendar. If you’re smart, you’ll pre-order. But I’m sure there are some who’ll camp out at an Apple store at all hours of the night. There are some who will stand in line for many hours. There are some who will even get into fist fights over the last iPhone 7 (I sure hope they stock up!). If that’s you, then why?
