The desire to own the latest and greatest
smartphone is an understandable one has been
carrying a smartphone since the days they were just PDA the cellular connectivity there's still a thrill to coming
home with the latest hardware with
blistering fast performance the hottest
new features and featuring a sleep
futuristic design for Apple fans this
is the time of year to go shopping for
a new iPhone but this year the question
of which model go with his trickier
than ever you go with a standard
iPhone 7 with a 12 megapixel camera a very respectable camera with an ex
one-pointed aperture and extended color
range or to double-down image taking
hardware with the new iPhone 7 plus and it's all new dual camera arrangement the two cameras mean pictures
that look twice as good and what
about the other iPhone 7 plus enhancements
like the extra ram and extended
battery that they add up to making
the seven plus this year's must-have
upgrade. Her is the full review
of the apple iPhone 7 plus the iPhone
7 is a handsome it's all about refinement taking the familiar look at the
six in the success streamlining that design
with a new solid-state home button fading into the background and 10 lines
and a long-overdue dose of water resistant
construction it's very much a
derivative phone and that's great because
apples really nailing what's working
for it will also not being afraid
to tweak a few things here and there in the aim of perfection even
if that includes the controversial move
to drop the familiar headphone jack and
while the iPhone 7 plus builds off those
same choices that brought us the iPhone
7 it pushes out on his own in a way
we haven't quite seen from a plus model
before really emphasizing that this
isn't just about big iPhones and little iPhones what about the user experience
these two ultimately distinct phones
can offer and a whole lot of that has
to do with a fancy new dual rear camera
on the seven plus before we dive full
into a look at that new camera hardware let's
step back for a broader overview of
the new plus-sized iPhone the iPhone 7
plus comes in with the very same footprint
as the iPhone 6s plus button placement
remains consistent but if you look
closely you can already spot some of
the ways apples been refining its design
like removing the shallow cut out between
volume keys while button placement may be the same hardware itself
is evolving and the biggest difference
here is the presence of a new home
button it's still got touch ID which
continues to make authentication quick
and painless but
now it's no longer a physical
button that
moves and clicks when you press
it instead
the new solid-state component response
to finger pressure in much the same
way as the screens 3d touch
system and
the phones tactic engine recognizes a
firm button press with an emulated click
of its own it
doesn't feel quite right at first but the
illusion quickly overtakes you and you'll
forget the button isn't really clicking
at all in no time continuing
our tour around the phones body
we see that big new camera ball around
back housing the pair of 12 megapixel
shooters and flanked by the upgraded
quad LED flash and while that stretched
out camera bump maybe the most attention
getting component of phones back
side we're
also very interested in what our eyes
aren't drawn to namely the tucked away antenna stripes they're more visible
on other iPhone 7 plus color options
but with this black palette they practically
fade into nothingness and that
makes for a really nice clean look finally
we can't ignore what's happening down
south and it wouldn't be an iPhone 7
plus discussion without talking about apples
decision to remove its phones analog
headphone jack instead users now have to make a choice go
with new headphones that connect / lightning cables like the pair of new earpods ship with a smartphone carry around
the included lightning to analog adapter apple provides and keep on rocking
your old pair of headphones or just
go full-on wireless with a Bluetooth
pair maybe like the soon to land
apple earpods doing away with
ports may
seem like moving backwards some of you
but it definitely makes one job much easier
for Apple sealing off one point of
entry as the manufacturer brings us its first ever formally water-resistant iPhones like the iPhone 7 and new Apple watch the iPhone 7 plus offers water and dust
resistance you probably won't want to
try using a while scuba diving but apples
harden the phones body against the
threat of water penetration from things
like casual splashes sprays and even
a not too deep drop underwater while
all this Hardware comes together in
a package that's the same basic size as
last year's iPhone plus apple still managed
to shape a few grams off its weight giving us the latest plus model since
the original six with everything staying
the same size it shouldn't be a shock
to limit apples brought us
another plus
phone with a 5.5 inch display resolution
stays at 1080 x 1920 what
Apple brings the panel the same
sort of upgrades
also picked up on the iPhone 7 higher
brightness and increased color range it's
official docs apple claims of both the seven and seven plus should share the
same brighter screen tech but an hour
test the plus actually came out significantly
ahead with the display much
brighter than even Apple
advertised and
hey who doesn't love it when a company
under promises and over delivers but while the iPhone 7 plus may compare favorably
to other iPhones there are lots
of other 5.5 inch and sets out there
and apples model those sleek enough
on its own can seem positively bulky
when placed head-to-head with a more
petite 5.5 injure like Samsung's Galaxy
s7 eggs after upgrading our existing iPhones and ipads to say nothing
of spending some time with a smaller
iPhone 7 were intimately familiar
with iOS 10 by now and its execution
the iPhone 7 plus doesn't really
offer any new twists that shouldn't
sound like a complaint though as iOS 10 brings a lot to the table that
we really like from the tricked-out new look
of messages with stickers and emoji galore
to the convenience of rise to wake in a widget enhanced lock screen while
you can get access to iOS 10 on any
number of Apple devices the iPhone 7 plus manages to bring users one of the smoothest
implementations of it yet thanks
to the power of the phones new a10 fusion ship and the most Ram we've ever
seen on an apple smartphone in
our battery
of benchmark tests the iPhone 7 plus and iPhone
7 also packing that same 18 fusion processor went head-to-head for
the top spot sometimes the plus
took the Honorable other times the seven itself
pulled ahead possibly due to reduced
rendering requirements of the lower
res screen but not only does the seven
plus offer this kind of great performance but it also features 3 gigabytes
of RAM to the sevens two gigs helping
to prepare this handset for dealing
with particularly demanding apps or
just a lot of regular ones speaking
of apps you're going to have plenty
of room for them thanks to the new
base level of 32 gigs of storage for this
year's iPhones the seven plus included with the days of 16 gigs have long
been numbered it was especially frustrating
to see such paltry storage on
this top shelf phablet. So we're glad to
finally see it go in a 16 gigs retires Apple hooks us up with a new high-end
storage option providing a 256 gigabyte
model users who simply can't get
enough space just like with the
iPhone 728 gigabyte and 256 gigabyte storage
tiers are also connected to apples
limited availability jet black color option you won't find any 32 gig jet black iPhone 7 plus in addition to
glossy jet-black the iPhone 7 color options
are joined by the matte black you
see here as well as the return of silver
gold and rose gold the big story with
multimedia this year maybe the iPhone
losing its headphone jack but we do
gain something in the process as the iPhone
7 plus picks up a pair of stereo speakers the bottom mount components are familiar
with from years past is now joined
by a speaker in the phone earpiece
and the pair of them together sounds
pretty good like
with the iPhone 7 though we've noticed
how the ear speaker is a lot lighter
on the base in the bottom x-component
making things sound a little unbalanced
at times but at least it's really
loud and combined with the big 5.5
screen that makes the iPhone 7 plus a
good phone for sharing video with friends okay
we've been taking our time getting here
how about that camera double-doubles
up on this camera check with
the iPhone 7 plus hearing the wide-angle
12 megapixel camera from the iPhone
7 with it's bright f1 . an aperture
with a second 12 megapixel camera this one equipped with an f 2.8 telephoto
lens well that arrangement sounds
like one that could make photo-taking
unnecessarily complicated apple software makes dealing with the para
breeze just keep the camera and 1x mode
for wide shots and tap the button once
for an effortless 2x sooo that's
it switching
back and forth is painless with
no worries about long wait we'll
be focusing
and if you really do want to
push limits digital zoom extends to an admittedly
noisy 10 acts just like dual camera smartphones on android apple is not
above using the iPhone 7 plus as pair
to pull off some nice shooting effects promising a cool controlled blurb
Oh cat portrait mode unfortunately
that one's not ready just yet or at
least it's only available in beta that's
odd move for apple to launch hardware
like this without all the software
ready but we're still eager to give
it a shot once it arrives video performance
on the iPhone 7 plus is as smooth
and crisp as we'd expect more experience
with the iPhone 7 but the availability
of zoom as a great new
twist to an execution you can jump in and
zoom without taking a break from filming making sure you don't miss any important
moments all this new hardware demands
a lot of electricity and apple response
by upping battery size from last
year giving the iPhone 7 plus a 2900
million power component that's
around five percent larger than the
6s plus had sadly that doesn't translate
into a similar game in battery
life and our testing showed the seven plus
coming in at just about the same time
as the six plus even a few minutes shorter
actually still with a brighter screen faster processor more ran and an extra
camera things could be a lot worse and admittedly we're resigned to be happy
just not seeing a bigger loss with the
new iPhone 7 plus apples given us one
of the most compelling reasons you have
to say goodbye to smaller iPhones and
embrace the place for all of the extras battery life as an hour and a half
of what you get with the iPhone 7 extra
round give software room to grow and
maybe more than anything the two-time
zoom when the new dual cameras telephoto
lens will change the way you take
pics and shoot video very much for the
better still Apple spy . 5-inch handset is starting to feel a little bit on the large
side when we appreciate the
desire to
return to familiar design make
this time
to start tightening up those bezels and
shrinking the overall build a
little still if you don't mind the size this is the
iPhone to get well worth the price of
admission even as we wait for
some new
features to arrive your software update if not the iPhone 7 still won't steer
you wrong and who knows maybe next year
the 7s will inherit the dual
camera from
the plus giving us the best of both worlds for now
though.
