Apple’s newest iPhones, the 7 and 7 Plus, caused queues in the rain for the first customers at Covent Garden, London. The phones feature new cameras and are the first iPhones to be water resistant. Controversially, Apple has removed the headphone jack from its latest models, so customers now need to plug into the Lightning connector, using an adapter with analogue headphones, or use wireless headsets. A new Series 2 Apple Watch also went on sale.

Key Takeaways:

• The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus have gone on sale in the UK, with keen customers queuing in the rain for the water-resistant devices.
• Apple said yesterday that many versions of the phone had sold out in pre-order
• Both the iPhone 7 and larger 7 Plus have been made water-resistant for the first time
