iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus


The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are upcoming smartphones that are designed by Apple Inc. They were announced on September 7,  2016 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco by Apple CEO Tim Cook.  The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus are the flagship iPhones, succeeding the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. They are scheduled to be released on September 16, 2016, with pre-orders beginning on September 9, 2016.

The iPhone 7 features a new quad-core system-on-chip with improved system and graphics performance; an updated display screen; water resistance; stereo speakers; upgraded cameras; and a new dual-camera system (on the 7 Plus model). The 3.5 mm headphone jack was removed, with an adapter included, along with earphones that connect to the Lightning port as an alternative.

Specifications

The iPhone 7 is similar in design to the iPhone 6S, though with a "mirrored" finish. Alongside the existing Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold colors, the device is offered in new Black and "Jet Black" colors. The "Jet Black" color is a darker shade with a high-gloss finish; it is created through a multi-step process, beginning with an anodizaton phase to make the surface of the casing a porous aluminum oxide, and then using a machine to "wipe" the casing through a powdered compound, absorbed by the aluminum oxide. The process is concluded with an "ultra-fine particle bath" for additional finishing; the entire process takes less than an hour.



The iPhone 7 no longer uses a physical home button; it instead uses a touch-sensitive button with haptic feedback via Apple Taptic Engine. The button is also pressure-sensitive. The "3D Touch" system from the 6S was retained. The iPhone 7 does not feature a 3.5 mm headphone jack; it was replaced by a second speaker grill. A Lightning to 3.5 mm connector adapter, as well as in-ear headphones that use a Lightning connector, are bundled with the device. The Lightning adapter will also be sold independently. The iPhone 7 is also water and dust resistant.

The iPhone 7 uses the Apple A10 Fusion system-on-chip, which consists of two low-power cores and two high-power cores. The A10 also features a hexa-core graphics chip capable of "console-level gaming". As with prio models, the iPhone 7 is available in two size: one with a 4.7-inch screen, and a "Plus" variant with a 5.5-inch screen. The displays have identical sizes and resolutions to the 6S (720p and 1080p), but with an increased color gamut and brightness. Both device variants also contain a new iteration of Apple's motion coprocessor, the M10 Unlike previous iPhone models, internal storage options for the iPhone 7 begin at 32 GB instead of 16 GB.

The iPhone 7 includes a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera with a quad-LED "True Tone" flash; its aperture was widened to f/1.8 while the standard-size model adds optical image stabilization-a feature that was previously exclusive to the Plus models. The iPhone 7 Plus also includes a second 12-megapixel telephoto lens, which can be used to achieve 2x optical zoom, and up to 10x digital zoom. The front-facing camera was also upgraded to a 7-megapixel sensor.
