The Apple Iphone 7 is official with water resistance and much more!

The Apple Iphone 7 was released quite a few hours ago and this time apple is surely out of its comfort zone.

1.Design

To start off there have been subtle but at the same time prominent changes from the iphone 6 and the 6s. There are no more antenna lines on the back of the device ,rather now they are on the top and bottom edges. This makes the Phone look a lot more "Cleaner". The Phone is also much more rounded and looks more like an Ipod of a previous generation rather than an iphone. Other than this , the Home button is also now not clickable as it is capacitive. However it will be pressure sensitive, so that is another thing that has changed from last years iphone 6s. There are also more color options this year. you can choose from Jet Black, Black, Silver, Gold and Rose Gold. 

 2. Water Proofing

 Apple this year too, decided to get in the game of water proofing their phones. To be more specific , The Iphone 7 duo is now Ip67 rated which means that it would survive under a meter of water for just about an hour. This also means that there is no headphone port on the iphone 7 now. Many consumers have complained about this as previously, having a headphone jack in a phone wasn't a "Feature". It apparently is now. However apple will be providing with the box a pair of lightning earpods and a lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter. This would mean that you cannot charge and listen to media at the same time. You can always buy Bluetooth headphones but the quality of those headphones can be a bit different than wired headphones (in a bad way).

 

3.Camera

The Iphone 7 features updated camera optics. The phone sports a 12Mp camera with f1.8 aperture and a 6 element lens coupled with optical image stabilization .According to Apple the camera is now 60% faster and 30% more efficient than previous generations of iphones.The LED's are also updated and now the phone is equipped with 4 of them.

 

The front facing camera has also been boosted to 7Mp and can record 1080p video.


4.Display

The iphone 7 keeps the 4.7 inch display of last year's iphone 6s but is now more brighter and has a wider color gamut however it was not specified how much the color gamut has changed since last year.Apple also hinted at an updated 3d touch layer but the details about this were scarce.

5.Performance
 Apple this time round put their new generation A-10 fusion chip in the iphone 7. this means that the new iphone runs on a quad core chipset. 2 of them being high performance cores and the other two being the power saving ones. According to Apple they run two times faster than their A9 chip and four times faster than their A8 chip.There is also a new gpu in store. the Iphone 7 boasts a 6 core gpu which is 50% faster than the gpu found with the A9 chipset.

6.Pricing and Availability
The Iphone starts at $649 for the base 32gb model  however you can also buy the 128 or 256 gb models.$749 for the 128 gig variant and $849 for the 256 gig variant.The iphone 7 and Iphone 7 Plus will be available on September 16th , with pre-orders starting from the 9th of September.
