Presentation of the "seven" from Apple was looking forward to all fans of the brand's products. A description of the capabilities and functions of the "iPhone 7" was looked for in all sources in the hope of seeing something amazing and stunning. The fact is that every couple of years the company radically changed the filling and appearance of new gadgets, and the “seven” should be just that.
That is why many consumers literally spammed questions on the brand's official website regarding the exterior and interior of the new device: “What is the screen size of the iPhone 7?”, “How are the cameras located?”, “Will there be advanced sensors?” etc.
Alas, we did not see any design updates, and, contrary to expectations, the company limited itself to only minor cosmetic changes in the appearance of the device. However, judging by the description of the characteristics of the "iPhone 7", the chipset set was carefully redesigned and a completely new smartphone was expected inside the users. So there is something to talk about here. But first things first.
We present to your attention the review of "iPhone 7". Consumer reviews, characteristicsdevices, as well as a description of the features will be presented in our article.
Appearance
The "seven" has changed the location of plastic inserts for antennas. They were removed to the ends, and the appearance of the gadget only benefited from this, becoming more accurate. Judging by consumer reviews, this solution looks best on black models: it is strict, practical and the inserts are almost invisible.
But one of the main innovations of the exterior is the body coating material. The “Seven” glides noticeably less on the palm, and this pleases, because it was simply scary to carry a sixth-generation device without a case. In addition, the diagonal of "iPhone 7" assumes its placement on the palm of your hand, and not holding the thumbs and phalanges of other fingers, as in the case of "shovel-shaped" smartphones.
Consumers also note that the tactile sensations compared to the "six" has also changed. The gloss of past generations has been replaced by a matte and velvety finish. The case is perceived quite differently than the sixth model, even though the diagonal is the same as the iPhone 7.
Users also liked the new camera format. Judging by the reviews, it looks noticeably neater and will not cling to everything in your pants, pockets and handbags if you are going to wear your gadget without a case.
Pleased with the presence of moisture protection according to the European standard IP67. The device can now be dipped into water without any seriousconsequences. Of course, you should not swim with him, but he will survive heavy rain and accidental falls.
Weight and dimensions
For many, the question is: “How much does the iPhone 7 weigh?” - is almost in the first place. The convenience of using the gadget largely depends on this parameter. From its predecessor, the "seven" is not far gone. The mass of the model in its pure form, that is, without covers, headsets and other accessories, is 138 grams (138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm).
Having found out how much the "iPhone 7" weighs, let's see how things are with other models of the brand. The heaviest was the older smartphone of this generation 7 Plus. Its weight is almost 190 grams (158.2 x 77.9 x 7.3 mm). "Six" is slightly lighter than "Plus" - 143 gr. (138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm). And the lightest "iPhone" can be called a model of the SE series - 113 grams (123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm).
Judging by the reviews of the owners, the mass is ideally combined with the diagonal of the iPhone 7, and it is very convenient to manage the gadget. The hand does not get tired, as from 7 Plus, and you can work with the phone for a long time on weight.
Screen
The display diagonal of the "iPhone 7" is 4.7 inches. A good IPS-matrix gives a resolution of 1334 by 750 pixels, which is quite enough for such sizes. The information from the display is easy to read, and the owners do not note any discomfort during operation in their reviews. In addition, with a decent PPI value of 326 units, no pixelation is observed.
Some users complain about the low resolution of the matrix, because devices on the Android platform offer 4K for a lower cost of the device. But many, on the contrary, support the company's decision not to chase pixels. There will be not so much benefit as harm.
It is worth remembering the transition to a new layout of "sixes". It took most developers almost a full year to update their apps for the new screen format. In addition, the small diagonal of "iPhone 7" and well-designed fonts level out the shortcomings of this resolution as comfortably as possible.
As for the picture, there is nothing to complain about. The output image is clear, understandable and natural. The margin of brightness and contrast is at a decent level, so that the screen does not go blind on a bright sunny day. Viewing angles can be called the maximum for an IPS matrix.
Performance
Judging by the reviews, those who switch from the "six" to the "seven" feel the performance increase, and quite noticeably. The new iPhone received an Apple A10 Fusion base with four cores, a fast video accelerator and 2 GB of RAM.
There are also familiar modifications that differ in the amount of internal storage - 32 and 128 gigabytes. There are no problems with games and other applications: everything works fine - without lags and brakes. Here, unlike gadgets on Android, the optimization of programs is at the highest level.
Features and functions
Works "seven" under the controloperating system iOS 10. Reviews about it are mostly positive, but some controversial points are still worth considering. Many users complain about the screen unlock system.
To get started, you need to turn on the gadget's screen, then hold your finger in a certain area and then press the "Home" button. This whole series scares and confuses users, but this system is the default and can be replaced.
If you connect the Raise to Wake function, the phone will automatically "wake up" as soon as you take it in your hand, and to fully unlock you just need to touch the specified zone with your finger.
Also, some users did not appreciate the new message format. If in previous operating systems it was enough to lower the top curtain down and move it back to mark the read SMS, then in version 10 you have to specifically go to the notification line to remove the active indicator.
Judging by the reviews of the owners, there are no complaints about automatic assistants and, in particular, about adjusting the brightness. Here everything works as it should. The platform has become a little prettier, a little faster and a little more convenient.
Cameras
"Seven" received a rear camera with a matrix of 12 megapixels and a front camera of 7 megapixels. The maximum allowed photo resolution is 4K. Judging by the reviews, the capabilities of the iPhone cameras can be called a solid middling, especially if you take into account the advanced technology on Android from the same price category. The seventh model cannot offer anything outstanding, butcopes with ordinary tasks very well.
All the functionality necessary for shooting is available: ISO adjustment, stabilizers, aperture settings, smart zoom and more. Video recording, which can take place at 240 frames per second, also showed itself well. True, the resolution will have to be lowered to support the latter indicator.
Autonomy
Even despite the presence of a more productive set of chipsets, in comparison with the previous (sixth) generation of gadgets, the battery life remained at the usual level for iPhones. And this is three to four hours in mixed operation.
The capacity of the battery added a little - 1960 mAh ("iPhone 6" - 1715 mAh), which made it possible to slightly compensate for the powerful processor. The latter, by the way, is not gluttonous and does not heat up.
In conclusion
If we compare the seventh generation of iPhones with the sixth, and many, judging by the reviews, are guided by these data before buying new Apple gadgets, then we can highlight some significant points that you should pay attention to.
The main innovations of "iPhone 7":
- rejection of 3.5mm audio jack (adapter included);
- new color - "black onyx";
- change to sensor with feedback;
- stereo speakers;
- screen matrix with wider color gamut;
