The iPhone 7 is a good choice to buy, since today its cost is about 40 thousand rubles. At the same time, it has an almost identical design, reminiscent of the newer model 8, is water resistant when splashed or dropped into water, as well as a haptic feedback button. When the iPhone 7 came out, what are its distinguishing features?
Its most important feature is that it does not have a headphone jack. Also, the iPhone 7 doesn't have wireless charging like the 8 and X models. However, that doesn't really matter because Lightning works just fine. Today it can be upgraded to iOS 12, which promises a significant performance boost. The iPhone 7 has a really good A10 processor, so this addition would look really good.
Release date and distribution
When did iPhone 7 come out? Preorder for the devicecountries of the so-called "first wave" took place on September 9, 2016. Then all the features and technical characteristics of the new gadget were revealed.
When "iPhone-7" went on sale, the demand for it was great. In the above countries, he went to stores on September 16th. At the same time, Russia belonged to the “second wave” countries, so on that date a smartphone could only be ordered via the Internet from abroad.
When was iPhone 7 released in Russia? Officially, the receipt of devices in stores was announced on September 23. The announcement stated that it looks almost identical to the 2014 iPhone 6S and 2015 6S.
How it differs from other devices
There are a lot of good or even great Android phones coming out throughout 2016. The iPhone 7 outperforms each of them in speed, but not in battery life. Its size, performance and camera are unique features, along with the ability to use iOS, of course. Most importantly, this smartphone is water-resistant, meaning it can be briefly submerged in water without damage.
Compared to the previous model, the camera takes noticeably better photos, especially in low light, and adds optical image stabilization. The battery lasts a little longer, and sometimes it's quite noticeable, especially compared to the iPhone 6S. The processor in the smartphone is definitely faster when compared to the previous generation of iPhones.
It also has a "wide color gamut" screen with improved color fidelity and improved stereo speakers. According to user feedback, these improvements are not as important as those described above. In addition, the Home button is no longer clickable - it has the same pressure sensitivity and vibration feedback as the touch screen. The key works great but takes some getting used to because there is no mechanical click when pressed.
New A10 Fusion processor
This is the biggest advance in terms of technical parameters. Shortly before the release of the iPhone 7, Apple announced that the A10 Fusion chip has four cores: two high-performance ones for the most intensive tasks and two low-energy ones for simpler functions while conserving power. According to user reviews, when using the device, the speed of its operation is noticeable from the first clicks.
Apps launch quickly, updates install quickly, and the camera is ready to shoot as soon as it's turned on. According to many users, there is no noticeable difference in performance between resource-intensive applications (such as Pixelmator) and lightweight applications (such as Mail).
However, despite the A10's power management features, there is no significant savings in battery life in practice. When charged in the morning, the iPhone 7 warns the user in the early evening (usually between 5 and 8 pm) that the battery power is reducedup to 20 percent.
Best Screen, Memory & Speakers
Many have long wondered when the "iPhone-7" will be released. The exact release date of the device for sale was so interesting to the mass consumer for various reasons, including because the developers promised to introduce an improved next-generation screen.
When the smartphone became available, numerous reviews confirmed that the update is indeed present. The screen is brighter, making it easier to read in bright sunlight. It also supports a wider color gamut for richer, richer colors in photos and videos.
Sound features
When the iPhone 7 came out, Apple removed the analog headphone port and added a second speaker for stereo sound. It sits next to the FaceTime camera and the audio improvement is noticeable immediately.
Internal memory
Another nice addition is the doubling of storage sizes. The entry-level iPhone 7 now has 32GB instead of 16. Other models offer 128GB and 256GB. This is very important if you always have to manage your available storage by deleting photos and videos. By comparison, the iPhone SE has a maximum capacity of 64GB and the iPhone 6s has a maximum capacity of 128GB, so if you need a lot of storage, the Model 7 is the way to go.
Camera
The iPhone 7 has a single 12-megapixel iSight camera, but its performance is vastly improved over the 6s. The lens features a wider aperture, f1.8, which brings in more light forbetter photos in low light conditions.
The iPhone 7's camera also has optical image stabilization, which was previously limited to the larger Plus models. The TrueTone flash is also 50% brighter thanks to four LEDs. Apple says it can even compensate for subtle flickering in indoor lighting.
On the front, the FaceTime camera has grown from 5 megapixels (like the iPhone 6s) to 7 megapixels, although it retains the same aperture of f 2, 2. It can now record video in 1080p, and its performance is at low light is also improved. Overall, it works more like a rear camera so your selfies will always look good.
Waterproof smartphone
When the "iPhone 7" was released, its claimed water resistance immediately began to be discussed. This is not surprising: anyone can accidentally drop a device into water. However, Apple support recommends not specifically getting your iPhone wet, and if you do, unplug all cables and make sure it's completely dry before trying to charge it again.
Subsequent model with plus sign
Many people are surprised to know what year iPhone 7 came out. Being released in 2016, it is still ahead of new devices, even produced much later. Today, it remains one of the most purchased and used devices.
At the same time, Apple used a familiar formula and a little laterreleased another version of the device. It won't surprise you with new designs or massive innovations, but the iPhone 7 Plus is a great phone.
It offers everything the Model 7 has - great performance, water resistance, speakers, great cameras - while adding some smart features that are more important to many users than flashy specs.
When did iPhone 7 Plus come out? Its appearance on the market was noted in September 2017, that is, a year later. At that time, the price for it was more than 60 thousand rubles. Its main advantage and addition is the increased battery life. According to reviews, the device works without recharging for 6 hours longer than the iPhone-7, with the same usage activity. Therefore, the smartphone is suitable for active people who use mobile gadgets throughout the day. The only downside is the lack of fast charging.
