Cool Reloaded with Swagga T
Good to be back at school. How did you find the first week, obviously nothing much was done but make hay while the sun still shines. Third term is the busiest of them all because of the final examinations coming soon. Anyway over to gadgetmania — the long wait is over as the iPhone 7 has arrived. On Thursday night, Apple unveiled its long-awaited iPhone 7, featuring waterproofing, a dual-lens camera and wireless AirPod headphonesApple has finally unveiled its long-awaited iPhone 7, and almost all of the rumours and leaks ahead of the launch have turned out to be true.
The new device is indeed waterproof, and the larger model comes with an impressive dual-lens camera capable of all kinds of photographic wizardry.
Here’s everything you need to know about Apple’s new iPhone 7:
Apple unveiled the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus at an event in San Francisco on September 7.
Customers in the UK started pre-ordering the new phones on the day, and the new devices will be available in shops as from September 16.
In the UK, the iPhone 7 will be available from a starting price of £599 for the cheapest 32GB option.
The 128GB version costs £699 and the 256GB version will set you back a whopping £799.
The larger iPhone 7 Plus will be even more of a wallet buster than it’s smaller sibling.
The cheapest (32GB) iPhone 7 Plus costs £719, followed by a 128GB model at £819, and then a 256GB variant costing an astonishing £919 in the UK.
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are almost identical in appearance to their predecessors, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.
The smaller iPhone 7 has a 4.7-inch retina HD display, while its larger sibling has a 5.5 inch display.
The bodies of the phones are made from aluminium and come in five colours — silver, gold, rose gold, black, (which has a matte appearance), and “jet black”. (which has a high-gloss look). The new jet black finish will be offered exclusively on the 128GB and 256GB models.
In previous models, these lines have allowed radio signals to pass through the metal casing and reach the antennas. It however, looks like Apple has redesigned the case to get around this restriction.
Apple has redesigned the Home button on the iPhone 7 — presumably in order to make the device waterproof.
The new “solid-state” Home button is designed to be durable and responsive, and work in tandem with Apple’s Taptic Engine to provide “more precise and customisable tactile feedback”.
In other words, even though the button doesn’t “click” in the same way as it did on the old handset, it provides haptic feedback when you touch it.
Perhaps the most controversial thing about the new iPhone is that it doesn’t have a headphone socket.
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will ship with a pair of wired headphones that plug into the charging port on the bottom of the device, as well as an adaptor for people who want to hang onto their old headphones.
These can connect to both the iPhone 7 and Apple Watch 2 with just a tap, according to Apple, and switch “seamlessly” between entertainment and calls.
In place of the old headphone jack, Apple has added a second speaker, so sound is two times louder than iPhone 6s, and you will be able to listen to your music in stereo with increased dynamic range.
The iPhone 7 comes with a new A10 chip, which is extremely efficient, meaning the iPhone 7 can run up to three times faster than the iPhone 6 at as little as half the power.
This means that the iPhone 7’s battery lasts up to two hours longer than iPhone 6s, according to Apple, and the iPhone 7 Plus’ battery lasts up to 1 hour longer than iPhone 6s Plus.
Both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have upgraded cameras.
The iPhone 7 has a 12-megapixel wide angle camera, which Apple claims is 60 percent faster and 30 percent more energy-efficient than previous models, and has 4 LEDS in the flash.
The iPhone 7 Plus has an additional telephoto camera, which together with the standard 12-megapixel wide angle camera offers optical zoom at two times and up to 10 times digital zoom for photos.
Can’t wait for it to land in Zimbabwe.
Okay, ladies let’s get into formation.
“Don’t throw shade boo!”
Kendall Jenner and Willow Smith front Snapchat inspired anti-cyber bullying campaign.
They have a huge following on Instagram and Snapchat.
And so it makes sense that Kendall Jenner and Willow Smith are among the faces showing their support for the “Be Cool Be Nice” campaign fighting online bullying.
The famous duo appear in this month’s Garage magazine modelling a range of Snapchat filters alongside slogans like “Don’t throw shade boo!”.
Striking her expert pose, 20-year-old model Kendall is seen with the famous flower filter enhancing her already huge bambi-like eyes.
The brunette beauty sports a bold red lip, wearing a pale blue and black silk kimono.
Going for minimal make up the “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star shows off her natural beauty.
Meanwhile 15-year-old singer Willow is seen with the butterfly filter, accentuating her hazel eyes to a brighter shade of green.
The duo can also be seen using the beauty filter, enhancing their already stunning features.
And having fun with the unusual photo-shoot, the twosome sport the dog filter with Willow sticking out her tongue playfully as Kendall pouts her lips.
Kendall also sports the bee filter, along with the glasses and braces filter.
The giraffe, cat, rainbow and cartoon filters all feature too.
