Apple's smartphone launch is the company's biggest event every year. This year the company has launched the iPhone 7. The most controversial move is expected to be the removal of the headphone jack, but it will be interesting to see how Apple justifies this move. The company might unveil new wireless headphones with custom Bluetooth technology and new Beats headphones. There have been plenty of leaks already hinting at everything from specifications to new colour options. But none of these things are official yet, so we're looking forward to the launch to see how many rumours are true and if Apple has any surprises in store. As for iPhone 7 India launch, we hope it happens in the first wave.

 

The other big launch at the event is Apple Watch 2. It's likely to be thinner, feature a GPS, and have more battery life. There are bound to be some performance improvements as well. The Apple Watch 2 is expected to be focused on fitness and we'll obviously find out more soon.

Other than that we don't expect Apple to make more hardware announcements, with new Macs expected in October 2016. If the iPad gets an upgrade, we'll be surprised. However, we do expect iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus to get a price cut. For India, the biggest announcement could end up being a price cut on the iPhone SE, but we're not sure if that's going to happen.
