Today marks one of the biggest dates in the mobile technology calendar: Apple presented the latest edition of its most important and profitable product, the iPhone 7, along with of course the larger iPhone 7 Plus and Apple Watch Series 2. This is not only an event for Apple fans, though. As Android’s main competitor, the changes to the iPhone and iOS platform sheds light on Android’s future, too. [b]
[size=14pt]More storage[/size]
One of the biggest criticisms the iPhones have received in the past is that the base variant costs too much for only 16 GB of storage space. Without the possibility of expanding with external SD cards, this pill has been difficult to swallow. However, the iPhone 7’s lowest-cost model will now house 32 GB of storage space.

The iPhone 7 camera will set a new standard[/size]
The iPhone cameras are generally well-liked but high-end Android models have arguably surpassed the efforts of Apple. DxOMark, experts on all things smartphone photography, consider that the flagships of Samsung, HTC, Sony, Lenovo and LG produce better results than the iPhone 6s Plus, according to its ranking system.
The iPhone 7 comes with a 12 MP back-facking camera with 6 element lens,1.8 aperture and Optical Image Stabilizer. It also includes a 2 tone flash and quad-LED flash. The front-facing shooter is of 7 MP FaceTime HD camera.

[size=14pt]The 3.5 mm minijack has disappeared[/size]
Apple has dropped the 3.5 mm minijack on the iPhone 7 and, as it seems, will do this on every future iPhone. But Apple isn’t the first manufacturer to try this. Instead, what they are including on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus is the 900M Lightening connector to connect Apple’s EarPods. Apple will include a headphone dongle in the box. But mainly, they are moving towards wireless earbuds called AirPods, which include sensors to detect when they are in your ears and play only then, and they connect to Siri with a double tap. Lasting up to 5 hours, and the case can charge them for up to 24 hours of battery life. These are however nothing new in the world of Android where Bluetooth earplugs have been around for a while.
[size=14pt]Water resistance is no longer exclusive to Android[/size]
What potential buyers should look forward to is of course the fact that the iPhone 7 is now waterproof (IP67 certification), meaning the smartphone can get wet without worry of damage (though to which level is not yet defined).

[size=14pt]iPhone 7 performance: a new A10 Fusion chip[/size]
Apple announced that their new devices will come with a new 64-Bit quad-core processor, a new chip faster than that of the one found in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. We weren’t sure they would make an improvements in this area, but if they want to compete with Android-run phones recently released, they need to keep their game up.

Stereo speakers on an iPhone[/size]
Stereo speakers aren’t usually a priority on flagship phones, but this year the iPhone 7 has arrived with them as well, of course years behind the likes of HTC, who implemented BoomSound Technology on their HTC One 7.
[size=14pt]Price and availability[/size]
Apple’s new devices will be available on September 16th. In terms of price, the iPhone 7 starts at $649 in silver, gold, rose gold and jet black. The iPhone 6S Plus and the iPhone 7 can be paid of in installments of $27 per month, while the iPhone 7 Plus for $32 per month.
