Today’s a big day for tech news, with Apple announcing its latest iPhones, dubbed iPhone 7 and iPhone 7Plus, while Sony revealed its updated PlayStation console, which the company stressed was a this-generation system catered to gamers in search for 4K and High Dynamic Range (HDR) gaming.<\/p>\n

Key points of iPhone 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

It comes with a better camera, more vibrant colors and better zoom capabilities. The larger iPhone 7Plus has a dual-lens system that creates beautiful portraits and background blur.<\/p>\n

The new phone has no headphone jack — as was rumored by multiple tech sources. Instead, Apple introduced new sets of wireless earphones, including one dubbed “AirPods” for $159.<\/p>\n

Apple executive Phil Schiller said the company felt it needed to move on: “We believe in our wireless future,” he said.<\/p>\n

The phone is now water resistant, but that feature — perfected by Sony and Samsung — is hardly new.<\/p>\n

It also comes in new color schemes, including a shiny “jet black”, although that color is only available in the higher capacity sizes.<\/p>\n

The 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus starts at $769 for 32 gigabytes of storage. Apple will charge $869 for 128 gigabytes, and $969 for 256 gigabytes.<\/p>\n

The 4.7-inch iPhone 7 starts at $649 for 32 gigabytes, up to $849 for 256 gigabytes. Preorders will begin this Friday, Sept. 9, and the product begins shipping a week later on Sept. 16.<\/p>\n

The jet black finish for both the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 and 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus come in only 128 GB and 256 GB capacities.<\/p>\n

Key points of PS4 Pro<\/strong><\/p>\n

The updated console, to be released November 10, will cost $399.<\/p>\n

Sony says the\u00a0PS4 Pro has “more than doubled” the GPU power of the standard PS4, and that it uses AMD’s Polaris architecture. The clock-rate of the CPU has also been boosted.<\/p>\n

The PS4 Pro will have a 1TB hard-drive.<\/p>\n

Sony says gamers should expect unparalleled experience for 4K and HDTV owners.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
New Netflix and YouTube apps will launch for the PS4 Pro. Sony says they will take advantage of 4K and HDR.<\/div>\n
