    The Apple iPhone 7 event is going to be held at The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco tomorrow. And the expectations are so high! Here’s a list of announcements we think that are going to steal the show.

    The Obvious: iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus

    The biggest star of the event has to be the iPhone 7 for sure. We’ve waited so long for it and now it’s less than 24 hours away! While we’re going to be awed by the launch, there’s not much we don’t already know about the phone. It will be a hard game for Tim Cook to actually surprise us.

    Here’s the long and short of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus:

    • The iPhone 7 will start at 32 GB instead of the standard 16 GB. Storage will be doubled across the line-up. The base model will cost around ₹55,000.
    • A recent patent pointed towards the possibility of a waterproof iPhone.
    • The camera on the iPhone 7 will have Dual Lens camera. Also, advanced optical image stabilisation looks highly likely.
    • The battery life is going to get a big upgrade.
    • It’s possible that the new iPhone will not have a physical home button!
    •  A new colour is coming to the iPhone line-up: The all new jet black!
    • And of course, the much debated and discussed headphone jack. Apple is going to drop it for sure. While a lot of people are pissed off.

    Also Coming: Apple Watch 2

    Apple Watch 2 will be sharing the stage with iPhone 7. It’s not such a big deal for us in India, but still, for those of you who are fanatical about getting one these, the Watch 2 should definitely set your heart racing.

    There are a lot of new features coming to the Apple Watch 2. Some of them are inbuilt GPS, barometer, cellular connectivity, bigger battery, faster processor, and water resistant body!

    Of course, the Apple Watch is hugely popular in the West. It’s the most successful smartwatch ever made, taking on even the mighty Swiss watches! It’s no wonder then, that the Apple Watch 2 is completely sold out in the US, even before the launch!

    By Default: Software

    iOS 10 will be announced for sure. There are a bunch of cool new features coming to iOS 10. We’ve already covered all the features extensively.

    watchOS 3: We expect it to be lighter on hardware, making the device faster and the batteries last longer. Apple says that the speed difference will be quite noticeable, especially since the processor is also getting an upgrade.

    tvOS & macOS: We’re not certain if these will make an appearance in this event. There’s no protocol fixed for software upgrades, so Apple isn’t bound to release them now. However, Apple likes to keep things simple and organised, so we can expect that these will get a passing mention at the very least.

    Wild Cards

    Wireless Headphones by Beats? According to a leak picked up by 9to5Mac, Apple might finally launch its first ever Beats headphones/earphones after the latter was acquired by Apple couple of years later. If that’s true, then it’s going to be huge! However, we have a strong feeling that it’s highly unlikely.

    Headphone Jack Adapter? To ease the transition from the 3.5 mm jack to the lightning cable for audio, Apple might include a “converter” of sorts so that older earphones (and non-Apple earphones) can also be connected to an iPhone. It’d be good if they come included in the box, though.

    iPad Air 3: The chances are slim, no doubt, but a piece of news is really making us think. Apparently, a lot of major distributors across the US are suddenly running out of iPad 2 stocks. Hmmm… so close to the event too… It’s almost as if they are making room for a new product on the shelves!

    The All New MacBook: Yes, yes, we know. The new MacBook lineup isn’t going to be release right now. But, hey! We are hopeless romantics when it comes to swanky gandgets. And the new MacBook is going to be just so slick and sexy that we can barely contain our excitement.


    So, who’s ready for the event!? Be sure to follow us on Twitter as we live-tweet tomorrow’s event minute-by-minute. And of course, we’ll be posting summary articles on our blog as well, so don’t forget to come back here after the event!

    Adios!
