Unlocked iPhone 7: Apple has started selling unlocked versions of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, reports AppleInsider. The new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus versions don’t come with SIM cards and are only available directly from AAPL. The lack of a SIM card means that customers can buy the devices and then choose which carrier they want to activate them with. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus versions without SIM cards have the same prices as the ones offered by wireless networks. They are also available in all the same color options as the locked versions.

Security Tethers: Apple has started removing security tethers from its iPhone devices in some of its stores, MacRumors notes. This change makes it so that users are able to simply pick up the devices without fear of setting off a security alarm. AAPL is hoping this extra freedom will let customers better experience the devices and get a feel for them before purchasing. The company will also render any devices that are stolen useless with the Lost Mode feature for Find My iPhone. The company’s larger products will continue to be connected to security tethers.

Nike+ Apple Watch: A release date for the special Nike+ version of the Watch Series 2 has been announced, reports 9to5Mac. The special Watch Series 2 model will be released on Oct. 28 of this year. The special edition of the smartwatch is part of an agreement with Nike Inc (NYSE:NKE). It will come in four different colors and has a band with holes in it to reduce weight and allow for better ventilation. The Nike+ version of the Watch will also comes with digital and analog Nike watch faces.
