ICYMI Friday: The iPhone 7, Apple Watch 2, and cheaper iPads

 

Apple announced the brand new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus this week. As expected, they don’t have a 3.5mm headphone jack. Instead, the new iPhones will come with earphones with Lightning connectors, and a Lightning to 3.5mm connector.

Check out what else is new with the iPhone 7s, including dual cameras and water resistance.

Here’s our hands-on with the new iPhones, including the new glossy jet black and matte black colors. Jet black looks gorgeous but may be prone to scratches, so our money’s on plain old black.

Pre-orders for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus have started in Singapore.

Apple also announced the brand new Apple Watch Series 2. Comes with built-in GPS, a faster processor, brighter screen, and water resistance so you can go swimming with it.

Check out more about the new Apple Watch, including the new Nike+ watches, a new ceramic case, and a surprising update to the original Watch with a price drop. And when you’re done with that, here’s what the new Series 2 look like in real life.

Apple introduced new wireless earphones they call AirPods, to go with your new 3.5mm-less iPhones, they are sold separately.

Last but not least, price drops!

Apple dropped the prices on its iPads. The iPad Pros see a slight price drop on the models with higher storage, while the other iPads see storage doubled while remaining at the same price. See the previous and new prices compared here.

Apple also dropped the price on the 64GB iPhone SE. Good news for people who prefer smaller iPhones.

Talking about price drops and deals, Comex 2016 is happening this weekend at Suntec. Here’s our list of noteworthy deals, and video highlights.

Have a good long weekend, folks. Selamat Hari Raya Haji to our Muslim friends.
