What’s New in iPhone 7

When comparing the iPhone 7 vs iPhone 6, it shows that they almost look identical.

However, there are some good reasons to consider an upgrade, as the new iPhone 7 comes with some new features that deserve special consideration. The main ones are:

The processor is faster. The cameras have been upgraded, so you can now take sharper pictures, particularly in low light conditions. It also includes optical image stabilization, and the battery lasts longer. In addition, the iPhone 7 is water resistant, and comes with stereo speakers.

On the downside, the 3.5 mm headphone jack connector is missing and has been replaced with the new Tactic Engine Vibration feedback system.

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are offered in the previous colors, Silver, Gold and Rose Gold, and also in new Black and “Jet Black” colors.

The Jet Black color is obtained through several steps. First, there is an anodization, which creates a face of porous aluminum oxide. Second, the cover is “wiped” with a machine using a powdered compound that is absorbed by the aluminum oxide. Third, the finishing process consist of an ultra-fine particle bath.

The new iPhone 7 has a touch and pressure-sensitive button, which replaces the Home button in the iPhone 6. This new button is provided with haptic feedback via the Apple Tactic Engine. As it requires skin contact, it is not possible to use it with gloves, and users must become familiar with it, because it doesn’t provide the typical “click” feedback.
