​
There are quite a few negitives and positives as far a features go with this phone. But lets start with the positives of this phone. The iPhone 7 added two new colors to the mix with the additions of black and jet
black (with a more glossy finish). The 7 no longer starts off with 16gbs, they have finally moved on to bumping base storage to 32gbs, with a 128gbs and 256gb storage options for people who need a little bit more storage space. The 7 also have a 12mp rear camera with opitcal image stabilization, which reduces blur caused by movement and handshaking. A senser helps detected even the smallest of movement and helps to counteract, allowing up to 3x longer exposer compared to the 6s. It is also has a quad LED true tone flash, which means there are four smart LEDs that flash 40 percent brighter then the iPhone 6s. The flash adjusts accourning to the temperature of the enviroment, resulting in a sharper, more brightly lit photos. Your also getting a 7mp front facing camera, which gives you not only higher resolution but also uses wide color capture. This allowes you to take sharper, more vibrant selfies, and if your worried about lighting? The Retina Flash matches the ambient light for a shot with natural-looking skin tones.
The iPhone 7 Plus has a new dual lense set up. Both are 12mp cameras, one of them is the exact same one that is on the 7, but the second lense is a telephoto lense that lets you get closer, which means you can achieve higher quility zoom from farther away. Also coming soon, exclusive to the 7 Plus is the depth and field effect, this allowing you to continue to keep faces sharp, while creating a blurred effect in the background. This gives you the ability to take professional like type of photos without have to edit the picture to give it the same effect.
The iPhone 7 also received a new Apple A10 Fusion chip, which is the fasted chip that has put inside an iPhone so far. This chip uses all-new architecture that not only makes the phone more efficiant, but also enables faster processing when you need it, while also using less battery to complete the task. With the A10 Fusion chip, this year you’ll get more time between charges than ever before. You'll recieve about two more hours of battery life on the iPhone 7 then you would on previous generations.
​
Now lets talk audio, while the iPhone 7 to the disapointment of many people lacks a headphone jack, Apple has added stereo speakers, so audio is now coming from both the bottom of your phone as well as the speaker used to hear some one while your making a phone call. This way it delivers 2 times the sound of the iPhone 6s while also increasing the dynamic range. iPhone 7 also comes with EarPods that have a Lightning connector. But if your one of those people who prefer your old headphones, you can plug them in using a 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter, which comes in your iPhone box when purchased. Apple is also releasing Airpods in October, these look similar to the normal Earpods, but these are wireless. They have 4 hours of charge time per Airpod, and you have the ability to use one at a time. It has a charging case to charge them up and store them.
