SYDNEY: Apple’s iPhone 7 launch generated trademark queues and brisk sales Sept 16 that defied gloomy expectations, with some enthusiasts left empty-handed after lining up for hours as the company announced some models had sold out.
The new phone comes with an improved camera, no headphone jack, and a water resistant body as the US tech giant seeks to reverse declines in sales amid increased competition.
