Everything Apple Announced at Today's iPhone 7 Event in Under Five Minutes

[MacRumors]

Apple today hosted a jam-packed media event that saw the debut of its new fall products, including the iPhone 7, the iPhone 7 Plus, the Apple Watch Series 2, new AirPods, and new Beats headphones.

It took Apple two hours to cover all of the new products and their impressive features, but we've created a quick five minute recap for those of you who want a taste of what Apple announced without watching the entire keynote or reading all of our extensive coverage.

Highlights include water and dust resistance for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, along with a faster A10 Fusion processor, all new camera systems for much better images (including a dual-camera system for the iPhone 7 Plus), no headphone jack, and two new colors being sold alongside the standard Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold - a matte "Black" and a glossy "Jet Black."

As for the Apple Watch Series 2, it too features improved waterproofing to make it suitable for swimming, along with a new GPS chip and a processor that's twice as fast. To make up for the lack of a headphone jack in the iPhone 7, Apple also introduced new wireless Beats headphones and completely wireless "AirPods," both of which come equipped with an Apple-designed W1 wireless chip.

Make sure to stay tuned to MacRumors for more extensive coverage of all of Apple's new products and check out our event recap post for more detail on everything that's new.

The iPhone 7, the iPhone 7 Plus, and the Apple Watch Series 2 will be available for pre-order this Friday. Apple's New AirPods will be available in October.

removing that 64gb option is another artificial way of convincing consumers to spend that $100 to buy higher model. same thing repeated.

real "courage" would have been switching to usb-c.

What a nightmare!

If Steve Jobs was still alive we would still have a headphone jack.

I wish the keynote was 5 minutes. The start was so disjointed and awkward.

 

[SoSickSadNslOw]

I was really looking forward to the fast charging at the very least. Putting a battery case on already humongous Plus model is a no go, fast charge could have helped a lot. I'd still buy the 7 Plus but my excitement has gone down a bit.

Another boring event with mediocre upgrades that still trail behind

 

[ProjectManager101]

Apple feels like time traveling and arriving to the same thing.

Of course. It's not even about cost anymore. It's just a marketing scheme.

 

[MacBAir]

They now have the 5 fastest phones on the market. Think about that.

[RuffyYoshi]

I like how the jet black model starts at 128GB. They knew people would bite. And they will including me next year cuz it's gorgeous.

The real news is 16gb is almost completely dead. 6S skew now starts at 32gb

 

[kazmac]

5 minutes about sums it up.

 

[DeeEss]

I tried to watch the keynote and I hated it and turned it off. So cringey, salesy, cheesy and amateurish. It was a joke, like a two bit sales presentation that was painful and dull to watch. "You're going to love it" No, apple. I'm not.

Wow, lets get excited about a watch that tells you where you ran. No, lets not. apple has lost the plot, up it's own a hole.

 

[snowboarder]

Cook is terrible. Just plain awful boring. Try to pretend you are excited, please!

 

[C DM]

removing that 64gb option is another artificial way of convincing consumers to spend that $100 to buy higher model. same thing repeated.

And yet you get 32 GB for the price of 16 GB now.

 

[bennyprofane]

Apple lacks vision. They have a serious problem.

 

[braddick]

Lots of negativity in this thread.
Do I stand alone in being impressed with the innovations and upgrades within the Apple watch and iPhone?

Nothing to scream from the rooftops, yet pleasant refinements and improvements to both products overall.

 

[krause734]

Lots of negativity. On the bright side, I am looking forward to next year's iPhone.

 

[WJRush2000]

Wait... why is it called the A10 Fusion processor? Why not just the A10?

 

[Kobayagi]

I totally forgot about the collaboration in iWork, that's pretty cool! I'm still in college, and working in the same document is always handy. Been using google docs for a while now, but it's so ram hungry when you got a big file open.

SHAME on APPLE; Innovations? I have been a die hard apple user from the earliest devices. The last few years Apple OS and standard apps are bug ridden and fail the apple community. Innovations? what a joke; today's presentations was embarrassing...been rehearsed. Real-time collaboration AWESOME; What a joke of a demo. This has been available for 10 years as and industry standard. They backed up the bus on old technology and tried to put lipstick on it as innovative. I have to admit; I am pursuing moving back to Microsoft hardware and software; the past years they are blowing Apple away....Tim is focused on politics and his sexuality (who gives a S%^) and not running an innovative company. And the absolute joke of entertainers and closing artist. Shame on all the apple leadership! Tim has to go and all the old diehards collecting massive check for no reason!

What a boring presentation and what new stuff are they bringing, nothing. Same product but just a little improve hardware. And that stylus joke. Oh it's not a stylus, it's an Apple Pencil. You can call stylus anyhow you want, pencil, pointer, stick, straw, or even a pen but at the end, it's still a stylus.

 

[Mad Mac Maniac]

It's amazing how vast majority of commenters on MacRumors now are so negative towards Apple. Why don't you guys go troll android forums or something?

I'm not saying we should blindly praise Apple, but I mean come on...
