![]() There are some aspects of an iPhone that, when you see them, it’s an indication that the device is about to start malfunctioning. The iPhone 7 is predominantly a step forward, but it is unlikely to be remembered as a classic Apple release.If you own an iPhone, then you should always be aware of anything about it that appears out of the ordinary. The virtually identical design (fairly or unfairly) seems dated compared to rivals like the Galaxy S7 Edge and Note 7, while the lack of fast and wireless charging is inexcusable in 2016 and the removal of the headphone jack has the potential to backfire (it is less about “courage” than generating cash from licensing fees).īy now it is common knowledge that a radical upgrade will come in 2017 with the ‘all glass’ Edge iPhone to celebrate the range’s 10th anniversary. The added durability, water resistance, upgraded camera, performance gains, brighter display and bigger storage options are all welcome and - in some cases - overdue.īut the iPhone 7 also isn’t as big an upgrade as we are used to for an iPhone ‘number change’ year. The iPhone 7 is a bigger upgrade than cynics will claim. The iPhone 7 has a number of upgrades over the iPhone 6S, but it isn't a game changer. For example, is a 128GB iPhone 6S preferable to the same outlay for a 32GB iPhone 7? Personally I’d side with the newer model, but I can see some users being tempted to do the opposite - and the iPhone 7 Plus costs even more. This makes the iPhone 7 far better value for money, but making the upgrade decision harder is Apple has retroactively upgraded iPhone 6S storage as well: The iPhone 7 finally ditches the loathed 16GB entry level tier and doubles storage across the range from 16/64/128GB to 32/128/256GB. Where Apple does catch up with rivals this year though, is storage. Storage And Price - Upgrades, But For All Given both have been common features on Android rivals for years and there is now just a Lightning port on the iPhone 7, their ongoing omission is deeply disappointing.

IPhone 7 vs iPhone 6S battery life shows some modest improvements. Front: 5MP Front Camera, f2.2 aperture, 720p video recording iPhone 6S - Rear: 12 megapixel sensor, f2.2 aperture, Focus Pixels, Software Image Stabilisation, dual-LED flash, 4K video recording.Front: 7MP sensor, f/2.2 aperture, 1080p recording iPhone 7 - Rear: 12 megapixel sensor, f/1.8 aperture, Focus Pixels, Optical Image Stabilisation, quad-LED (dual tone) flash, 4K video recording.Apple made no claims of improving Touch ID this year but again, it’s not necessary.įor the last two years Samsung has been the smartphone photography king, but the new iPhone 7 makes some very welcome changes after the iPhone 6S plateaued from the iPhone 6: More subtly, the iPhone 7 also provides a 50% boost to 4G speeds with a 300Mbit modem switched out for a 450Mbit unit (how often you get to test this in real life remains to be seen). Some power users will decry the lack of a RAM upgrade, but it just doesn’t seem like iOS needs more right now. The iPhone 6S is still blisteringly quick, so this may not be a huge selling point though it does promise a great deal of future proofing. The A10 Fusion chipset makes the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus Apple's fastest ever iPhones.
