#THINGS FOR IPHONE 7 PLUS#
The 7 Plus still has a 5.5-inch screen, and 4.7 for the iPhone 7. The basic frame of the iPhone 7 hasn't changed a bit from the slim, metal rectangle you already know. No more "Storage Almost Full" messages while I'm trying to take pictures of my dog! Or at least, it'll take a lot longer to get there. Really, the best news on the spec sheet is that the iPhone 7's internal storage starts at 32GB and goes up to 256GB. It's not great, or even good, but it's much better than the 6S. The earpiece now doubles as a speaker, so you get surprisingly decent stereo sound out of the phone itself.
#THINGS FOR IPHONE 7 FULL#
The 7's screen is brighter than the 6S, but for the life of me I can't imagine why you'd ever use your phone at full brightness.
As soon as I fired up Riptide GP: Renegade and streamed Halt and Catch Fire, I had to charge once during the day or be left stranded by 9pm. When I used the iPhone 7 for only simple things, I got more than 24 hours of life from the 7, and nearly 48 from the 7 Plus. That means if you don't really game or watch high-res video on your phone, your battery life is going to be extraordinary. It's a quad-core processor, with two cores dedicated to running simple tasks and two to more taxing ones. Its new A10 Fusion processor is ludicrously, outrageously fast, somehow even more so than last year's (already crazy fast) A9. What matters is what an iPhone can do.Īs always, the new iPhone is a better iPhone. More than anything, this phone is Apple's acknowledgement that how an iPhone looks is increasingly beside the point. It's more seamless, more open to third parties, and more connected to the rest of the Apple ecosystem. The iPhone 7 may look like the iPhone has for years, but it works better. At least, until the next world-bending material sciences breakthrough. For the smartphones themselves, there's forever thinner, faster, stronger, and maybe curved-screenier, but that's about it.
#THINGS FOR IPHONE 7 SOFTWARE#
All the wildest ideas about smartphones are actually wild ideas around smartphones: hardware and software that connect to us and each other through our phones. This is happening everywhere, by the way, not just in Cupertino. They also indicate, nine years into the iPhone experiment, that we're nearing some platonic ideal of a smartphone, the device in its final minimalist form. They're the best, fastest, strongest iPhones yet. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are out this Friday, starting at $650 and $770 respectively. It’s just harder to see when it’s everywhere. Now, each year's unprecedented combination of incredible technology feels ordinary, even expected. Remember when the iPhone was exciting? When every new design and app was an event in itself? When copy-paste was a feature to line up for? Those days are gone.
