The Apple’s latest iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will officially start selling in India from 7th October. Unlike previous midnight launches, this time the Apple iPhone 7 series will be available to buy via online retailers and Apple authorized re-sellers in India from 7 pm IST.

Although the design is similar to the existing iPhone 6 series with the same 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch display, a lot of new features has been introduced in the latest iPhone 7 series. For starters, they have dropped the headphone jack from the handset and comes with lightning-powered EarPods which created a lot of buzz among the audience. It also has IP67 rating for dust, splash, and water resistance.

Apple claims that its iPhone 7 series 25 per cent brighter and color accurate. It will also support wider colour gamut for natural and vivid color reproduction. Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will also be powered by 64-bit quad-core A10 Fusion chipset, which the Aplle claims to be 40x faster than the A9 chip found on iPhone 6s.

Both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will come with 12MP rear camera but one feature that everyone is curious about is the dual rear camera on the Apple iPhone 7 Plus. It will have a wide-angle lens and a 56mm telephoto lens at the back. The telephoto lens is capable of 2x optical zoom but lacks OIS support. Up to 2X is optical zoom and the rest is digital zoom. The zoom works across panorama, square and slow-motion modes. The zoom is, however, limited to 6x for shooting videos. Apple is also using six element lens which brings the aperture down to f/1.8, that yields better pictures in low light. The Portrait feature in iPhone 7 Plus will let users create pictures with a shallow depth of field, although this will be part of a software update rolled out to the devices later on. Apple has also bumped up the front camera to make it 7 MP for better Face Time and selfies.
