Apple just introduced the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus look remarkably similar to the phones they replace — this is the smallest generational design shift in the iPhone’s history — but that’s not to say nothing has changed.
The antenna bands on the back of the previous models have been made more discreet; they now hug the edges of the device. This repositioning has allowed Apple to squeeze in larger camera bumps on the back.
For the first time in the iPhone’s history, the new phones are “water and dust resistant,” up to IP67 (i.e. splash proof, not submersible) . As we expected, there’s no headphone port to be seen, but there’s at least a stereo speaker for the first time. The home button no longer physically clicks in, but a haptic feedback mechanism will trick your finger into thinking it has.
One area that Apple has traditionally excelled in is cameras, but with the Galaxy S7 and Note 7, Samsung basically caught up this year, even besting the 6S and 6S Plus in some areas. To that end, Apple’s thrown improved cameras in both its new phones. Up front, for both devices, the new “FaceTime HD” camera ups the resolution from 5 to 7 megapixels.
There’s also a new four-color LED flash, and a “flicker-sensor” to avoid flickering lights in videos, and Apple says shutter lag is down to 25 milliseconds.
The new iPhones will be available on September 16th, with pre-orders set to open today.
