What Apple didn't tell us at the iPhone 7 launch

Virtual or augmented reality: Apple holds numerous patents in VR, and made some high profile hires in the field. Tim Cook stated recently that the company is “high on AR in the long run.” What we don’t know is how long is long. Or what mixed reality approach it might take. New Mac laptops: Apple announced macOS Sierra will be available to the public on Sept. 20. But, while Sierra will let you spice up your current Mac, you'll have to wait a bit longer for new Mac hardware, including the next versions of the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops. We could see these as soon as next month or we may have to wait until 2017. Apple Car: Elon Musk called Apple’s electric vehicle an “open secret,” which seems to be the case given the hundreds of engineers reportedly working on the rumored project. Assuming the rumors are true, we’re unlikely to see an Apple Car until 2021. What was left out of the iPhone 7: Apple of course had a lot to say about the new iPhone 7. How it has new camera features and it's now water and dust resistant. But, while Apple also claims better battery life for the iPhone 7, it left out battery-related features that are already used by Samsung on its Galaxy phones and on other competitive handsets.
