camera,wireless and that's it for apple 2016

"The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do. B. F. Skinner"

SEPTEMBER 7 2016, APPLE LAUNCHED ITS NEW IPHONE 7 AND 7 PLUS. THE MAIN FEATURE OF THIS YEAR'S IPHONE IS THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE AN EARPHONE JACK. THEY MIGHT HAVE DID THIS TO  MAKE THE PHONE LOOK MORE SLIM.  THE PHONE IS SLIM NOW BUT WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THE  EARPHONES. THEY COST AROUND SOME 2000 BUCKS. THE SOLUTION IS A NEW PRODUCT RELEASED AT THE APPLE EVENT AND THAT PRODUCT IS THE AIRPODS OR WIRELESS EARPHONES. LAST YEAR THEY LAUNCHED A WATCH AND THIS YEAR A WIRELESS EARPHONE. 


THE EARPHONE LOOKS FUTURISTIC AS IT IS LONG NOT LIKE THE OTHER TINY WIRELESS EARPHONES . APPLE TAGS IT "WIRELESS  EFFORTLESS AND MAGICAL", IS IT A DISNEY MOVIE OR WHAT. ANYWAYS I LIKED THE NEW HARDWARE PRODUCT OF APPLE. PERSONALLY SPEAKING I DID FIND THE AIRPOD AD A BIT RACIAL AS A BLACK MAN WAS USED TO PORTRAY A WHITE AIRPOD. IT'S JUST MY VIEW AND NO OFFENCE. AIRPOD CONNECTS INSTANTLY TO YOUR IPHONE THROUGH INFRA RED SENSORS. YOU CAN DOUBLE TAP IT TO CONNECT DIRECTLY TO SIRI. APPLE ALONG WITH THEIR MUSIC COMPANY BEATS HAVE DESIGNED THIS AIRPOD WHICH HAS A W1 CHIP INSIDE IT FOR BETTER SOUND AND A 5 HOUR BATTERY LIFE. THESE AIRPODS COST A WHOOPING 15000 RS. THAT'S TOO MUCH. OTHER WIRELESS EARPHONES  COST HALF OF IT WITH A BETTER QUALITY. 

NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE IPHONES. APPLE PHONES ARE ALWAYS 5 YEARS SLOWER THAN AN ANDROID PHONE. THEY ARE RELEASING THE WATER RESISTANT PHONES FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THAT ALSO FOR A PRICE TAG OF RS 60000/- . ANDROID'S WATER RESISTANT PHONES COSTING AROUND RS 10000/-  WERE INTRODUCED 2-3 YEARS BACK . THE ONLY THING THAT HAS CHANGED IN IPHONE 7 IS THE CAMERA AND THE EARJACK. THE APPLE CAMERA'S ARE ONE OF THE BEST , NO DOUBT, BUT DUDE CAMERA IS NOT EVERYTHING .  IT COMES IN JET BLACK , A NEW INTERESTING COLOR. IPHONE 7 AND 7+ COMES IN 4.7 AND 5.5 INCH RESPECTIVELY WITH AN ALUMINIUM BODY THAT MAKES IT LIGHT AND STRONG. THE NEW HOME BUTTON WHICH IS EXCLUSIVELY AN IPHONE FEATURE  HAS A TAPTIC ENGINE  WHICH IS PRESSURE SENSITIVE AND QUICK RESPONSIVE WITH CUSTOMISABLE  FEATURES. THE CAMERAS ARE SHOWSTOPPERS.  THE FRONT CAMERA HAS BEEN INCREASED TO 7 MP AND REAR TO 12 MP WITH OPTICAL STABILISATION. IT HAS  6 ELEMENT LENS. THE MAIN FEATURE ADDED IS DUAL LENS CAMERAS ON IPHONE 7+ FOR PROFFESIONAL QUALITY. IT IS 25% BRIGHTER WITH A10 CHIP WHICH IS MORE POWERFULL THAN THE IPHONE 6, OBVIOUSLY. 2 HOUR AND 1 HOUR BATTERY LIFE HAS BEEN INCREASED ON  7 AND 7+, WOW!. A RS 15000 ANDROID PHONE LASTS LONGER THAN THESE PHONES. A NEW STEREO SPEAKER SYSTEM IS ADDED AT THE FRONT LIKE IN MOTOROLA PHONES. IT RUNS ON IOS10.THAT'S ALL. 



THE THIRD HARDWARE LAUNCHED WAS WATCH SERIES 2 OR SIMPLY APPLE WATCH 2. IT 'S ALSO WATER RESISTANT WITH A BUILT IN GPS.IT HAS COLLABORATED WITH NIKE AND INTRODUCED HEART SENSORS AND ALL EXERCISING STUFF ON THE WATCH.IT COMES IN HERMES LUXURY EDITION AND A NIKE SPORT EDITION.3RD PARTY APPS ARE ALLOWED.IT WILL COST AROUND 33000 RS .


THESE PRODUCTS WILL BE RELEASED IN INDIA ON OCTOBER 7 , DIWALI TIME. EVEN THOUGH IPHONES ARE THE MAIN REVENUE GENERATOR FOR THE APPLE COMPANY ($155 BILLION OUT OF $234 BILLION ), THEIR SALES DECLINED RECENTLY BUT WITH NEW PHONES LAUNCHING THEIR SHARES INCREASED. THE TRENDING  GAME POKEMON GO IS AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON A SMARTWATCH THAT IS THE APPLE WATCH 2.APPLE ARE IN TALKS WITH NINTENDO TO BRING SUPER MARIO APP TO APP STORE. A NEW IWORK SOFTWARE FOR PRODUCTIVITY (POWERPOINT ,WORD ETC) HAS BEEN INTRODUCED WHICH HAS REAL TIME COLLABORATION THAT MICROSOFT OFFICE AND GOOGLE HAS BEEN PROVIDING ALREADY. AGAIN  I SAY APPLE IS TOO SLOW TO MICROSOFT AND GOOGLE

CAN APPLE WIN WITH A CAMERA AND A WIRELESS?.
