Technology Odds–Apple iPhone 7 Proposition Betting Odds Roundup

The official Apple event announcing the iPhone 7 will be held on Wednesday, September 7. iPhone releases are always hotly anticipated and this model is no different. iPhone users want to see which rumored new features it will offer and the financial community wants to see how well it will sell. The tech media is anxious to get their hands on to review it and see if it is an improvement on previous releases or something of a regression.

Over the past few weeks we’ve set proposition bet odds on several topics involving the iPhone 7 release including the design, sales and reviews. With the event coming up we figured it would be a good time to review:
