After months of rumors and expect the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus finally unveiled officially. Despite the fact that before the announcement about the smartphones was known to almost all, the presentation was good and no surprises. As expected, the company changed the tradition, and the next sequence number has not led to significant changes in the appearance of the gadgets. In this regard, many have a logical question, whether the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus an all-new flagship or is it just S-update for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s?
Perhaps you should start with the obvious – the announcement held no surprises. Most of the rumors were confirmed, and the design of the new smartphone are identical to what we saw on the set of prototypes in the Network. Overall, the iPhone 7 like their predecessors, to visually distinguish the new by the absence of white bands antennas on the rear panel. Added two new colors — in addition to last year’s gold, silver and “rose gold” appeared matte and glossy black, which Apple called “black onyx”.
All official images of the iPhone 7. greatest attention is paid to the version of “black onyx”. The glossy black color looks fresh and more original. Due to the mirror finish back surface of the iPhone resembles the front panel with the screen off. The sad fact is that this model will have to wear in case, as it is more sensitive to scratches and fading.
Changed the minimum amount of memory. Now the iPhone will come with built-in storage at 32, 128 and 256GB — the same line iPad Pro. However, the price of the device has remained the same — from $649. The market will remain model 6s and 6s Plus 16 and 64 GB, and also shows this spring, iPhone SE. In Russia, the new iPhone 7 will cost 57 000.
Improved Apple and the iPhone screen. It’s 25% brighter, can display a wider range of colors and supports colour calibration. For example, Instagram to support a wider range to the new updated iPhone app and began to support “live” photo. Apple has also added stereo sound: the earpiece can complement itself on the bottom edge. The total volume is twice that of predecessors. In addition, support a wider range of frequencies.
Changes undergone and the Home button. Now it works almost like 3D Touch screen — the user will feel a slight vibration that mimic depression. Possible, thus Apple decided to make the iPhone less susceptible to water ingress, because smartphones are now waterproof. It should be noted that damage to the device from the ingress of liquid is not covered by warranty.
Getting rid of the headphone Jack on the iPhone 7, Apple could not take advantage of the opportunity to announce new audio accessories, including wireless headphones AirPods with the processor W1 and Apple support Siri. Accessory work without recharging 5 hours, and the use of case-charging battery life headphones more than 24 hours.
The most interesting innovation in the iPhone 7 is, of course, Luggage. She left a 12-megapixel, but now equipped with optical image stabilization. The module itself was a bit bigger though looks not as rough as on the previous generation devices. The f/1.8 aperture and 6-element lens can capture more detailed photos and videos.
The iPhone 7 Plus includes two cameras that provide 2-way optical and 10x digital zoom. Dual camera is also used for taking photos with the “bokeh” effect. Previously this was only possible on professional SLR cameras.
Other camera improvements include a new image processor, developed by Apple and is capable of handling 100 million transactions per 25 MS, 7-megapixel front module, automatic image stabilization and a wider range of color capture, as well as a new 4-diode for 50% brighter True Tone flash with the sensor for the suppression of the flicker in artificial light.
In light of all these changes, how can we determine the iPhone 7?
Apparently, the 4.7-inch model is more consistent with S-upgrading the iPhone 6s rather than the new generation of devices: better autonomy, better camera, protection against dust and moisture. Interesting, but not revolutionary. iPhone 7 Plus – another story: depth of field effect when taking photos as “DSLRs”, optical zoom, better shooting in low light conditions. This is a real iPhone 7, not S-version.
