Everyone had their eyes on Apple’s September 7 event and its finally over. Apple has introduced its new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus to the world today. iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus both bring plenty of new features, come in new colors that the iPhone users have never seen before and most importantly the new iPhone(s) are now water resistant. Let’s have a look on what both these phones have to offer.

iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus Design & Build

iPhone 7 and 7 Plus carry the same design as the iPhone 6 family did. The iPhone(s) will now come in a new shiny Jet Black color alongside the Black, Silver, Gold and Rose Gold colors. The iPhone 7 measures at 138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm (5.44 x 2.64 x 0.28 in) and weighs at 138 gram and the iPhone 7 Plus measures at 158.2 x 77.9 x 7.3 mm (6.23 x 3.07 x 0.29 in) and weighs at 188 gram. Both the iPhone(s) support Nano SIM. Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are IP67 certified which makes these phones Water and Dust resistant.

iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus Display

The iPhone 7 equips a 4.7-inch display with 750 x 1334 pixels resolution and 326 ppi. The screen to body ratio is 65.6%. Apple has used the Ion-strengthened glass and the oleophobic coating to protect the display of this phone.

iPhone 7 Plus has the same 5.5-inch display as the iPhone 6 Plus. iPhone 7 Plus has a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels and 401 ppi. The screen to body ratio on the iPhone 7 Plus is 67.7%. The protection on the screen of iPhone 7 Plus is same as that of the iPhone 7.

iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus Hardware

A new Quad-Core chip which is named as A-10 Fusion by Apple has been placed in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. 2 cores of this chip are responsible for high performance while the other two are responsible for running lighter tasks keeping the efficiency maximum. Apple’s very own performance controller will handle which core handles what tasks on these new phones. Both the iPhone(s) are equipped with a 2 GB RAM. Apple has skipped the 16 GB and 64 GB variants of its phones this time. The new iPhone(s) will come in 32/128/256 GB storage options. 

With the 7th iteration in the iPhone family, Apple says goodbye to the 3.5 mm headphone jack. The headphones now come with lighting connector that you can plug into the charging port. We don’t exactly know why Apple negated the 3.5 mm jack as the users will be able to plug-in either a charger or the headphones into the phone at one time. The iPhone now has stereo speakers replacing the 3.5 mm jack. Stereo speakers can produce much better, clearer and dynamic sound now. 

Six core graphic setup is there to handle the games and applications which require the GPU on the phone. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus can produce high definition and intensive graphics in games and are also capable of editing RAW images in Adobe Lightroom.

iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus Camera

Something very new we have on this part. iPhone now has a dual camera setup on its rear. The rear module on the iPhone 7 Plus is equipped with 12 MP dual shooter where one shooter has f/1.8 aperture and other one has f/2.8 aperture. The 2nd 12 MP lens contains a telephoto lens which is responsible for creating 2x optical zoom. There is PDAF, Optical Image Stabilisation, Quad-LED flash. iPhone 7 Plus also gets a background blur feature for capturing better shots.

On the other hand, iPhone 7 is equipped with a 12 MP shooter with f/1.8 aperture, OIS and Quad-LED flash. Both the iPhone(s) have 7 MP shooter with f/2.2 aperture on the front for selfies.
