Iphone 7

ARE WE GONNA MISS THE HEADPHONE JACK?


Yes, it’s finally here the iphone 7 equipped with the A10 chip with 4 cores:  two for highly intense tasks, and the other two are used for less demanding things this enables the phone to save more power.  As usual apple was expected to make the iphone better than its previous predecessors but this time it seems like they polished of the iphone 6S. It might also be due the various leaks that made the phone just what we expected no more. Even with the low energy cores you won’t find such a big power saving capacity its quite average.









Don’t get me wrong you will notice the bigger storage capacity now it won’t start from 16GB it stars from 32GB so no more deleting pictures or backing to make space for a new app. They have also made good use of the A10 for faster opening times of apps. Also, hasn’t lost the richness of color since they aren’t like other companies which move up to higher resolutions.  If you compare it with other phones though you can see it clearly that the iphone 7 lacks sharpness to the likes of S7. The design is the same as iphone 6s with the same colors but the addition of the black color which is pleasing to look at. Other things you will notice is no headphone jack will get to that in a moment, also they moved up the antennas up a bitter higher giving the back a new view. Auto brightness has also been improved since there were issues in the calibration of the brightness at brighter environments but now you could play or text or look at your feed without going to your settings to adjust it.

Recently been reading some issues about the back getting scratched so easily I would recommend a cover of your choosing. Coming to the home button is one of the big changes since it won’t give you a physical feedback anymore “weird ikr!”. Looking at the home button now its sensitive to pressure and gives a small vibration to make you feel it’s been pressed. Not the same feeling though to what we were used that won’t be a problem you just need to adjust to it but it will still feel weird. This might be the last time we see the home button so treasure this moment because it seems like it’s only a matter of time before it goes. There have also been issues that you can’t use gloves while using the phone since it might not recognize it so I sympathies with my readers at chiller environments, so what I advise you to do is to go the apple store with your favorite set of gloves hope it works fingers crossed. 

Speaking about removing things we got used no more headphone jack after all the speculation our hearts can rest now. This might hurt companies involved with making headphones (beats, JBL , and skullcandy) but a move like this by a big company such as apple will lead to other big companies following their footsteps only time can tell now. Is it better though it didn’t make the phone any lighter and air pods okay their features are impressive but removing the headphone jack made things complicated speaking from experience I have changed to lots of ear phones due to many issues. Now am sure that ear pods are gone be subjected to my clumsiness and get lost the wired once are relatively cheap so it’s okay but when it comes to your ear pods its twice as much so that’s a big issue. Even if they made this 3.5mm adapter that we plug to use headphone jack sad thing is they don’t come with the iphone 7 so that’s also extra cost to. I can tell you this the ear pods don’t sound any better than the headphone jack still too early to judge since they might make it better. Even with the removal of the Jack port the speakers at bottom are the same expect they made the second opening just stereo so no two speakers.

How about that camera especially the two cameras on iphone 7 plus which we will have a follow up review on. The iphone 7 isight camera 12mp is also good the big changes they made is change the lens with a wider aperture f1.8 this allows more light to the camera for better pictures in low light conditions and the performance has also been improved from iphone 6s. The front camera is the quite good that it seems like you’re taking a selfie with rear camera with just some minor differences. To make the pictures you take better they have made the true tone 50% as apple says it’s to compensate for indoor lightning.

Water proof seems like a bonus after other companies already did looking at the iphone 7 now seems like not that big of change. In overall, it’s a good phone they have tried to change lots of things that made phone better, and in some cases worse (Home Button). Buying it well looking at the market right you will find something better, so I wouldn’t recommend buying it. Since looking at the price you could get something better with cash to spare for a cover, and may be even extra “headphones”. So as always let’s see the overall score of the phone from five stars.
