iPhone 7 most expensive Apple smartphone ever as pre-orders begin

Weak pound against the dollar hits UK technology buyers after Brexit decision as Apple ups the price of the iPhone, iPad and accessories

Apple's iPhone 7 has gone on pre-order around the world, but customers in the UK have woken up to a very real-world impact of the Brexit referendum: the iPhone 7 as well as the iPad line is more expensive than ever.

Pre-orders for Apple's latest smartphone, which is now waterproof and no longer has a headphone socket, went live across the world at 8.01am UK time, meaning that many eager buyers in countries to the west of the Prime Meridian stayed up late into the night.
