The iPhone 7 was released this morning, causing a stir among Apple fans. Belinda Henley talks to digital business journalist Sophie Ryan about some of the new features.

Who knew people were so fond of the analog headphone jack?

Apple announced this morning the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus doesn't have a headphone jack. Instead, headphones connected by the lightning port at the base of the phone would be included in the sale of the smartphone.

An adaptor to connect traditional analog heapdhones to the lightning port would also be included.

People on Twitter were not impressed.

I can either charge my phone or listen to it because now I can't do both at once? No #iPhone7 for me! #bringbackthejack @Apple

No audio jack is actually making me think about not getting an iPhone for the first time since having like a razor #BringBackTheJack @Apple

Apple also unveiled wireless headphones called AirPods, which can connect with the phone wirelessly through a new technology called W1.

The AirPods were the subject of a bit of Twitter mockery.

I sure hope the #iPhone7 comes with a "Find My AirPod" feature when your wireless earbud falls out of your ear. pic.twitter.com/opHkCpQ0Hn
