What's up guys its Ed from TechSource
And today we are reviewing the iPhone 7 and 7 plus
Both of these phones are similar with some differences
the iPhone 7 has a 1334 x 750 resolution
4.7 inch display
while the iPhone 7 plus has a 1080p
5.5 inch screen
The iPhone 7 has 2 gigs of ram
whereas the iPhone 7 plus has 3 gigs
The 7 has a 1960mAH battery
and the 7 plus packs a 2900mAH power battery
and faster A10 fusion chip is the
same on each phone
Both phones do have a front facing HD camera
capable of taking 7 megapixel photos and
recording 1080p video
they also pack a 12 megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization
that can shoot 4k video
exclusive to the plus model is a second rear camera
a 12 megapixel telephoto lens that allows up to 2x optical zoom
Apple has officially ditch to the space
gray option replacing it with black and
jet black finishes which seemed to have
been the most popular options based on
initial reception
Apple's new flagships feature the same glass and aluminum
design seen in the previous models with
the only notable differences being seen
in the blended antena bands
lack of headphone jack and a wider front speaker grill
The device is still very slippery to the
hand especially with the matte black
option that i have here in the video but
you can fix this problem with dBrand skin
and i'll drop a link to it down
below if you guys want to check that out
This year Apple has also redesigned the
home button to be pressure-sensitive
which serves as tactic feedback as
opposed to a physical button
It will take some getting used to but I started
to enjoy it after a few weeks of using the phone
The big change your however is
the removal of the headphone jack
so you're pretty much left with using the
supplied lightning to 3.5 millimeter
adapter or wireless audio options
The iPhone 7 and 7 plus are now ip67
waterproofing rated which has been a
long time coming
as long as the submersion is no deeper
than one meter and stays below 30 minutes
you shouldn't have to worry
When it comes to the displays the resolution
and size has remained unchanged at 1334 x 750
for the 4.7 inch model and
1920 x 1080 for the 5.5 inch option
Viewing angles are tremendous as always
slide but welcoming improvements have
been made with the wider color gamut and
overall brightness of the display being
increased by twenty-five percent the
color representation is quite accurate
but if you're looking for something with
an absolute amount of pop you might want
to look elsewhere to a phone that uses
an amoled display instead
With the increases to battery capacity
apples obviously touting the iPhone 7
and 7 plus as having the best battery
life compared to previous iterations
in my testing was able to only squeeze an
extra hour out of the battery
With light to medium usage this should be able to
get you through the day even more if
you're using the plus model
Apple doesn't offer any form of quick charging
or wireless charging on either model
both of which are now staples of a
flagship smartphone
Apple has finally integrated stereo speakers into the iPhone 7
one speaker is the same
bottom firing piece as we all know
While the other is integrated in the top earpiece
In fact here's a quick audio test
♫♫♫
The iPhone has always been known to have
a great camera and this year is no different
both models feature a 12 megapixel unit
with a wider F1.8 aperture
Apple has fitted the iphone 7 plus with a dual
camera module
A company first that seems to have gathered a lot of
interest early on
The wide angle lens is the same as on the iPhone 7
utilizing a focal length of 28mm
The second camera is a telephoto lens with a
smaller aperture of F2.8 providing more
reach at a 56mm focal length
Each phone can also shoot 4k video at up
to 30fps and also optical image
stabilization has finally tripled its
way down to the smaller model as well
focusing has also been improved but it's
still not the fastest
The front camera is now at seven megapixels and can
capture 1080p video
The field of view is still relatively narrow compared to the
galaxy s7 so group selfies will require
a bit more work
Let's go and take a closer look at some
samples photos and videos are as you
would expect from an iPhone
bright colorful and sharp
Dynamic range has also been increased
preserving some moredetails in the highlights
When shooting in low-light scenarios be iPhone 7
preserves detail a bit sharper
particularly in the shadows
And by the way you guys can see a full camera comparison linked below
The iPhone 7 and 7 plus come pre-installed with iOS 10
and when compared with the new A10 fusion chip
these phones are very snappy as expected
I was ten as brought forward notable
changes in the messenging app and
notification center along with
refinements in the overall experience
and user interface when utilizing the phone
At first I wasn't really a fan of
the touch to unlock feature but after
using it for a few days I kind of got used to it
The iPhone 7 and 7 plus is certainly a
well-rounded device however with the
lack of major design changes and must
have upgrades for the most part it may
be hard for many iphone 6 and 6s owners
to justify purchasing the new phone
especially when you compare to the
competitive market of budget and
flagship smartphone offerings
That being said if you're an avid photographer and
can take advantage of the dual camera on
the plus or can appreciate the water
resistant features now might be the time
pickup Apple's newest flagship
