10 Things You Might Not Know About Iphone 7

Written by Super User on 21 December 2016.

Oh yes! you read it clearly if you don't have the iPhone 7 yet, then you might not know this 10 things about it. come on chill, take a cup of coffee. Now I bring you 10 things you might not be aware of the iPhone 7.



There's a lot that's new - and some stuff that isn't - so without further ado, let's take you through everything you need to know about the iPhone 7.





1) You'll hardly spot the difference



Take a real good look at the iPhone 7. Looks just like the iPhone 6s, right? Well, yes and no.

Apple has mostly stuck with the same exterior design, so in terms of shape it's near identical to the iPhone 6 and 6s.

Sure, there are a few minor differences - and some bigger ones too, like the lack of a headphone jack. More on that below. The two (quite unsightly, in our opinion) plastic channels on the back of the phone are gone, but the general look is very much the same.

From a distance, you might find it hard to tell any of the last three generations of iPhone apart – unless you're talking about colour, of course.

Jet Black is brand new, helping hide the antenna sensors, but that glossy back stands out a bit, doesn't it? Hopefully it won't be a fingerprint magnet.

There's a matte black colour option too - that one shouldn't show up your greasy mitts quite so badly. Gold and Rose Gold colours make a reappearance too.

2) The headphone jack hits the road



We said it would happen, and you all groaned. But Apple went and did it anyway.

The iPhone 7 doesn't have a 3.5mm headphone socket. That's a big deal, and likely to upset a fair few people – even if Apple was thoughtful enough to include a Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter.

Don't want to lug an adapter round with you everywhere? Better pick up some Bluetooth buds, or buy a set of Lightning cable headphones. Lucky Apple's got a pair of its own, then.

AirPods are wireless in-ears that'll rock for five hours on a single charge, but look a bit like a pair of rabbit ears.

The obvious question is, "Why remove the jack at all?" Turns out, having a great big hole in your phone isn't great for when you're trying to keep water out...

3) It's waterproof, baby



How many iPhones have met their maker at the bottom of a toilet, pint glass, or swimming pool? Good news, iFans: That won’t happen with the iPhone 7.

That’s because it’s the very first waterproof Apple phone.

That’s right - it’ll shrug off spills, and even survive a dunking if you have an accident. The waterproof seals will keep the delicate inside bits safe from moisture, so you won’t get caught short in the rain either.

Dust won't be a problem, either. The whole thing is sealed, and the IP67 rating means there aren't really any holes for sand and grit to hide in.

4) THE CAMERA KICKS THINGS UP A NOTCH



Just like last year, there are still a few differences between the iPhone 7 and its bigger brother, but there are still a few upgrades you'll want to keep an eye on.

First up: optical image stabilisation. It was only on the iPhone 6s before, but now it's on the mainstream model too. It's still rocking a 12MP sensor, but it's 60% faster now, and 30% more energy efficient. No more drained battery if you're a bit of a shutterbug.

The lens has a wider f/1.8 aperture now, which lets in a lot more light than last year's models. It's paired with a TrueTone flash, like before, only it's got four LEDs now - for 50% more light in dark scenes. Anti-flicker should adjust the shutter to cope with artificial light, too.

You can finally save RAW files as well as JPEGs, and it'll shoot in wide colour gamut too.

The front-facing camera's had a bit of an upgrade, too. It's got a 7MP FaceTime HD sensor.

5) The iPhone 7 Plus gets its zoom on



On top of the regular 12MP lens, the iPhone 7 plus has a second 56mm telephoto lens (compared to the standard 28mm lens).

This let’s Apple work wonders with zoom. There’s a new button that appears in the camera app - 1X. Press this, and you’re going to enjoy 2x lossless zoom, thanks to that second telephoto lens.

However, you can drag this button up all the way to 10x zoom, without any apparent loss in quality.

Apple kept pretty quiet on the actual details, but it did confirm that this advanced zooming is possible as a result of a mixture between both lenses, and some clever software tricks.

If it delivers, this could very well be the best smartphone camera ever made, so colour us very excited indeed.

Oh, and one more thing - the iPhone 7 Plus makes use of both lenses and some clever software tricks to power a new Portrait mode - which automatically detects a person’s face, blurring the background via software, giving a reasonably convincing DSLR-like bokeh effect.

Again, we’ll have to wait to see how it performs in real world use - but it’s a feature that no other smartphone currently offers.
