As Apple prepares to make iPhone 7 and iPhone7 Plus available for purchase at its stores on Friday, the Cupertino-based giant is set to reopen three big retail stores after months of renovation in the US.

The renovated stores are in Park Meadows in Colorado, Ridgedale in Minnsota and Fashion Mall in Indiana.

According to AppleInsider.com, all three stores will open at 8 a.m. (local time).

The new design have wooden shelves, large glass doors and massive video displays.

Apple will often time store openings with device rollouts, looking to maximise sales opportunities while impressing shoppers.

Joining the iPhone 7 launch is water-resistant "Apple Watch Series 2".

 

iPhone 7 will cost the same as iPhone 6s, starting at $649 (US price) and comes in three variants: 32GB, 128GB, and 256GB (16 GB variant no more). iPhone 7 Plus will start at $769.

The phone will come in rose gold, gold, silver, black, and jet black colours.

Starting at $369, the 'Apple Watch Series 2' will be water resistant to 50 metres and the speaker will literally repel the water like a piston.

The device will have a dual core processor with GPU that is up to two times faster.
