Apple’s new iPhones get faster chips, better cameras and new charging ports

Apple on Tuesday unveiled its next generation of iPhones — a line-up that will boast better cameras, faster processors, a new charging system and a price hike for the fanciest model.

The showcase at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California, comes as the company tries to reverse a mild slump that has seen its sales drop from last year in three consecutive quarters.

The malaise is a key reason Apple’s stock price has dipped by nearly 10 per cent since mid-July, dropping the company’s market value below the USD 3 trillion threshold it reached for the first time earlier this summer.
