iPhone 7 vs 7 Plus - Worth the Upgrade

The iPhone 7 Hype is Real: A Deep Dive into the New Features and Changes

What's Going On Everyone? It's Your Average Consumer, and the iPhone 7 Hype is Real. So, if you have an iPhone 6 or 6s, we're going to take a look at some of the new features and changes to see if it's worth your upgrade. I'll start with the most controversial change: the removal of the headphone jack.

Apple Removed the Headphone Jack: A Controversial Move?

Apple removed the headphone jack, stating that the Lightning Port will deliver better sound. But is this really true? I've got a few tests in the works to see if that's the case. They included an adapter in the box for those of us who don't like change and so we can still bump music from the old cord now. Personally, I don't mind the change that much since I'm a huge Bluetooth junkie. But for some of us who have a favorite pair of headphones that might not be Bluetooth, you might be a bit disappointed.

Don't Let the Change Stop You from Upgrading

If this is a huge change that's stopping you from upgrading, don't let it. There are great options out there that can accommodate your old headphones. I'll have a few listed down below, but I'm working on a video that will work especially with the iPhone 7 now. Another Cool Change Announced: Stereo Speakers

Instead of just having one speaker at the bottom of the phone, you now have an added speaker behind the earpiece. Unfortunately, only one of these speakers is front-facing, and the other kind of shoots off to the side. So, you're not getting that front-facing action like you'd get with the Nexus 6p or the Axon 7 Android. Definitely has better options in the speaker department.

The New iPhone's Front-Facing Camera: A Minor Improvement

For that front-facing camera, the iPhone's rocking a new 7 megapixel camera which isn't a huge bump from last year's phone but it's a bump nonetheless personally I didn't see a huge difference in quality when comparing it to some of the older models. So this feature alone isn't worth the upgrade. Selfie Queens Save Your Money

So, selfie queens save your money because the rear camera now features optical image stabilization on both the 7 and 7 plus. With the 7 plus, you get an additional telephoto lens that gives you two times zoom and it's pretty nice to be able to switch between the two with a press of a button and of course you know you get improved quality if you're big on iPhone photography. This is a no-brainer especially if you're considering the 7 plus.

One Thing to Keep in Mind: Water Resistance

One thing though is that the new iPhone is water resistant which is good news for folks who are a bit careless with their phones. No more having to worry about dropping it in a running sink or in a toilet arry so it's great for those who are accident prone but also for those who just can't stay away from their phone you can use this in the shower if you need to send a quick text or even if you wish want to use your phone in the rain. And honestly, this is a feature that we should have seen way sooner but it's cool that it's here.

We Can Finally Put the Rice Away

And of course, you've got those new colors the iPhone comes in silver gold rose gold which are standard but it now has the New Black that replaces space gray and that new jet black for you insanely Brave folks out there upgrading for one of the new colors might be worth it as long as you don't throw a case on it or something. Now, I don't see any reason to upgrade for one of the changes or features that we've talked about here to be honest none of them are actually standout features but I do think as a package they're definitely a step in the right direction and pretty much where the iPhone should be.

So if you have a 6 or 6s really might not be worth it but if you have something older than that I do think there are enough improvements here that would make it worth it. But whether you're upgrading or not, there's a chance to win an iPhone 7 in my video over here and all you got to do is check that out if you want a chance.

That about wraps it up for this video guys hopefully you enjoyed it if you did be the cool guy or girl that gives this video a thumbs up. I'll catch you on the next one till then it's your average consumer peace
