How are iPhone 7 and 7 plus different from others?
- These iPhones come with a brilliant aluminium finish that is better than anything.
- It’s battery life has finally increased. If you were an iPhone 6 user then you would at least on an average get 2 more hours of battery life.
- The home screen button has been changed completely. Replacing the old button with a touch sensor which is also a fingerprint sensor. This removes the old age problem of a sinking home button.
- It runs iOS 10 which has many new features like new messaging app, night mode, home app, advanced security, etc.
- It comes without any audio jack. To use your earphones you would probably need lighting to 3.5mm audio jack wire which costs around 10$ or you could simply buy the airpods (which will be launched in October) that cost 159$ which is a bit too extensive! It has a dock which holds 24 hours of battery. You can use airpods for 5 hours at a time. If you need a quick charge then place them in the dock for 15 minutes to be able to use them for 3 hours.
- It consists of loud speakers which give you the sound of a stereo. More like a dual stereo system. Uses the top and bottom speaker.
- The cameras are mind blowing. Especially for 7 plus which comes with a telephoto camera. That is two camera shooting as one. This really improves image quality especially for dark and zoomed images. This is only available in iPhone 7 plus.
- It is the first water and splash resistant iPhone. It is also dust resistant.
- The display is even better than before. It has wide gamut colour display plus 25% brighter
- It is 2 times faster than iPhone 6
