iPhone 7 To Lose Calling Capability
Apple

Tech fans have anxiously been awaiting the release of Apple's newest cellular device: the iPhone 7 (cue angelic choir and music). The delivery of the iPhone 6S proved to be a disappointment to gadget users after discovering limited visual upgrades from the previous iPhone 6. Most customers replied with the token phrase of "That's it?" and proceeded to cry while swiping their credit card.

Apple CEO, Tim Cook, released a statement notifying consumers that the iPhone 7 will be released this September, at the technology convention the fruit inspired company holds every fall. "We are more than excited to release the 7th generation of this device. Apple's biggest fans, my parents, have told me that it is going to have a very positive reception."

Shockingly, massive changes have been made from the previous generation. "Fans weren't happy with the upgrade of the 6 to the 6S, so we decided to listen and give them what they want," Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, Philip Schiller says. But one of those massive changes includes removing the phone's ability to connect to wireless carriers. In other words: The iPhone 7 is not a phone.

"We really wanted to enhance a couple areas, and because of that we had to remove the 'calling feature,'" says Tim Cook. But never fear, texting through iMessage and Facebook chat are still operational in this edition.

Space for the item's battery was top priority for this installment and took the area of the device's antenna and phone capabilities. The projected 15-minute battery life increase will now make the iPhone 7 contain a whopping 45-minute usage period, for surfing the web, crushing candy, and answering all of those 'important emails.'

"iMessage and FaceBook chat are still operational in this edition."

In addition, operating system "IOS 12" will be delivered to the public installed on the device. With updated features like SIRI, your digital assistant can now open music on Spotify and also help raise your children with the newest feature: "Sass Programming." SIRI will be able to announce things to kids like "Sit down, and put your seatbelt on," "turn that television down, " or even ask the dreaded question: "did you brush your teeth yet?"

Android users are considering making the switch to Apple products after this declaration. "I used to love Android because I considered it more customizable and flexible with the price range." Says John JingleHeimer-Schmidt, president of the Android fan club in Manhattan, Kansas. "I have a feeling that all smartphone users are going to be flocking to the iPhone 7 solely for that increased battery life, " he says while sniffling and wiping his snot-dripping nose on his rose-colored cardigan.

John JingleHeimer-Schmidt (pictured above) has been the 'Reigning President' of the Android fan club since its inception in July of 2011.

Speculation around the iPhone 7 began when a touch screen device was found on June 14th in a bathroom of a Japanese bar in Tokyo.

With the phone feature being cut for this iPhone, we contacted CEO Cook for a response, to hear his thoughts on the 'surprising outrage' customers have been expressing. Unfortunately, his mother picked up the phone, claimed he was in the bathroom and was unable to comment at this time.

Pricing and Availability

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be available in gold, stainless steel silver, death star gray, and pretty pink rose for $0 down with 47 monthly payments starting at $82.50 (US) and $99.34 (US), from Apple’s retail stores in the US and local Target convenience stores in Europe, other than the United Kingdom (#Brexit).

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
