The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, Reviewed
Apple's latest iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus look a tad familiar, yet they
pack a host of novelties underneath their glass/metal bodies. Those
include waterproof construction that's a first for an iPhone, stereo
speakers, an all-new home button (which is not a button), and lack of
standard audio jack. The last one is a rather controversial bit that,
even though long-rumored, is bound to shape the personal audio industry
going forward due to the overwhelming popularity of the iPhone.
Both iPhones will capture much better photos than any of their
predecessors, courtesy of improved cameras. The iPhone 7 Plus takes
everything up a notch by packing a second camera with a telephoto lens
that sets it apart from any of its competitors.
The storage options are another crucial and welcome change made by Apple
in the ninth iPhone iteration. Gone are the 16GB and 64GB memory
variants, with the 32GB and 128GB taking their place. A brand-new 256GB
variant will top both the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus range.
Just as we expected, the build quality of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
is excellent. The addition of IP67 rating for water and dust resistance
is a welcome feature, which ensures that an accidental bout with liquid
won't damage your phone. An IP67 rating means that iPhone 7 and iPhone 7
Plus can spend up to 30 minutes fully submerged in one meter of water.
As far as battery life goes, both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus deliver
better results than their predecessors. The iPhone 7 can easily make it
through a day of normal use, while the iPhone 7 Plus can come close to
two days of moderate use on a single charge.
