Technology giant Apple on Thursday launched the highly-anticipated iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus beginning at USD 649 with advanced technologies like immersive stereo speakers and air pods and the new phones will be available to customers in India beginning October.
Apple CEO Tim Cook took the stage in San Francisco to introduce the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, calling it the "best, most advanced iPhone ever, packed with unique innovations that improve all the ways iPhone is used every day."
The new iPhone features new advanced camera systems, come with more power and performance, more battery life, immersive stereo speakers and is the first water and dust resistant iPhone.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be available in more than 25 countries beginning September 16 and will also be available to customers in India beginning October 7.
The new Apple-designed wireless AirPods including charging case will be available for $159 in the US beginning in late October. All iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models will include EarPods with Lightning Connector and a Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter.
The new iPhones have 12-megapixel camera that provide optical image stabilization, a larger aperture and 6-element lens. iPhone 7 Plus features the same 12-megapixel wide angle camera as iPhone 7 and adds a 12-megapixel telephoto camera that together offer optical zoom at two times and up to 10 times digital zoom for photos.

Apple also introduced new technology that replaces the earphones with Air Pods. New stereo speakers in the phone will offer sound that is two times louder than iPhone 6s. The new iPhone comes with EarPods with Lightning connector to deliver "incredible sound, as well as a 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter that allows customers to use old headphones and accessories."
"AirPods introduce an effortless wireless listening experience packed with high quality audio and long battery life, coming in late October. "New AirPods, Apple's innovative new wireless headphones, weave simplicity and technology together to reinvent the wireless experience making headphones easy to use," the company said.
Twitterati took to the micro-blogging site to mourn the passing of the headphone jacks. The general feeling was against the AirPods with many sharing images of their old headphones with the wire cut off.
The cost of the new Apple product was also another topic of discussion with some even contemplating selling their kidney to buy the latest smartphone from the Apple stable.

Heard the new #iPhone7 is lacking a headphone jack. That's like Microsoft removing the Start button from Windows. Equally brilliant ideas.

The #iPhone7 sounds cool, but it still doesn't come with teleportation or instant french fries so I'll just wait. pic.twitter.com/3MYZo2mMJ7

No need to buy the #Iphone7 headphones. Just do this to your Iphone 6 ones. Works the same Wallah. pic.twitter.com/22pzFFiKwT
