It’s the performance that matters to you, right? For Apple it matters the most. And yet we all have witnessed that in the latest Apple special event 2016. For those who missed it, I am writing this down so you can get the picture of the event as well as all the information to impress your friends.
If you are a 90’s kid and you have seen all the previous launch events by Apple in which Steve Jobs used to present the new device, I can guarantee you can never enjoy these events as Steve is no more with us. Well accepting the nature, we have to move on. Let’s see what we have got special at San Francisco this September by Apple.
The Special Event 2016 took place at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium San Francisco on 7th September 2016. Why 7th September? Obviously, because its iPhone 7. However the event was not just the launch of new iPhone 7 but also other breakthroughs Apple have just marked this year. So step by step let’s go into the detail of this special event.
Iphone 7:
Let’s skip the technical language. Apple this time had to compete with two best Smartphone by its most dangerous competitor Samsung. How’s that? Well, Apple iphone competes with the Samsung Galaxy S series and Apple iphone plus competes with the Samsung note Series. This time Samsung showed a high upgraded version of its phones,
Samsung Galaxy S7 and Note 7. Also you can see the benchmark results of these two smartphones are quite high up and all the upcoming phones are compared to them almost in every review. So the pressure was up high and Apple played it quite well. Apple released water resistant , brightest IPS display up to 1000 nits, 5 color variants and double storage space all together in its two new flagships iPhone 7 and Iphone 7 plus. Here are the Specs:

iWatch 2:
I don’t know why they have focused so much on the swimming part throughout the introduction of the Apple watch 2 at the event. Maybe this is because of the 70 different types of swimmer who were gathered and observed by the Apple developers for the creation of the watch and to design a new algorithm for the swimming activity in its fitness app. Well if it is designed for the swimmer it obviously means that new Apple Watch 2 is simply water resistant and yes it is water resistant up to 50 meters. Also it contains the fastest GPS in it. The specs of Apple watch 2 are as follow:
- watchOS 3.0
- 3D touch (1000 nits)
- Apple S2 chipset
- 50 meters water resistant
- A-GPS
- 65 inches Display (AMOLED)
- WiFi, Bluetooth
Airpods:
The rumors were already posted by me that apple will not include 3.5mm jack in its new iPhone 7 and yet they introduced the new earpods with lightning port in the event. But wait! The heading says “Airpods” not ear pods. As the name suggests Apple has introduced the world first totally wireless earpiece. So they work on Bluetooth? No! They don’t work on Bluetooth. They come in a special case and once you take the case near your iphone and opens the case, Your iPhone detects the Airpods. Once they are in case they get recharged and give you playback time upto 5 hours. Later you can recharge your case with the lightning cable.
Whats Next?
Super Mario and Pokemon Go are coming officially to iOS.
