iPhone 7 launch date, UK release date and price revealed at Apple conference

Apple have officially unveiled the iPhone 7 at their latest Keynote presentation.

The tech company have branded the new headset “the best iPhone we have ever made”.

The new model features major upgrades, including a new camera, a water-resistant design, and an upgraded A10 chip.

The unit features a high-gloss seamless finish, with no gap between the screen and back casing, and comes in a variety of colours: jet black, gold, silver, rose gold, and standard black.

Controversially, the unit does not have a headphone jack - with the included ear buds using the lightning connector.

However, Apple are including a lightning-to-mini-phono adapter with all iPhone 7 units for users to plug in their non-lightning headphones.

The cameras have been significantly upgraded, with a 12-megapixel sensor that’s 60% faster and 30% more energy efficient than the 6s camera.

Low light photography has also been improved, while the front camera will shoot in 7 megapixels.
