The New iPhone: A Revolution in Design and Features

Like the Porsche 911, the new iPhone may not look that different on the outside, but there's a ton of new features on the inside that are sure to impress. One of the first things you'll notice is the variety of finishes available for the phone, including a new jet black gloss finish, a matte black finish, classic gold, silver, and rose gold options. For those looking for a more understated look, these options offer a sleek alternative to the traditional stainless steel body.

Another notable feature is the virtualization of the home button. Gone is the physical click of the home button; instead, it's now a force press that uses the same technology as the Mac trackpad. This means you'll get the feeling of a click when there's no actual click, adding a touch of innovation to the design. The phone itself is also more water and dust resistant than ever before, with an IP67 rating that's similar to the original Apple Watch. While it may not be suitable for extended swimming, it can withstand the occasional splash or accidental dip in water.

One of the most significant upgrades to the camera system is the introduction of optical image stabilization on even the basic iPhone 7 model. This feature significantly improves video quality, taking it from "much better" to exceptional. The f/1.8 aperture allows for 50 more light to enter the lens, resulting in brighter and more vibrant photos. Additionally, there are now four lights in the True Tone flash, providing a wider color gamut that's particularly noticeable when capturing oranges and magentas.

The real showstopper, however, is the camera system on the iPhone 7 Plus, which boasts two 12-megapixel cameras: one wide-angle lens and one telephoto lens. The former can be used for optical zoom up to 2x, while the latter allows for digital zoom up to 10x. This results in an unprecedented level of flexibility and image quality. Furthermore, the front-facing Facetime camera has been upgraded to a 7-megapixel sensor with deep trench isolation, ensuring that colors are exceptionally sharp.

Another notable feature is the improved audio system, which now supports DCI-P3 color gamut for enhanced display quality. Apple has also implemented advanced audio processing technology to provide an even more immersive listening experience. However, one aspect of the phone's design has been significantly reduced: the 3.5mm headphone jack. While this may be a drawback for some users, there is an alternative solution in the form of new wireless AirPods.

The AirPods, available in the form of "earpods with W1," feature infrared sensors that detect when they're inserted into your ears and switch audio accordingly. They also utilize iCloud to propagate settings to other Apple devices, such as Macs and iPads. This allows for seamless integration across different Apple products. Under the hood, the iPhone 7 Plus is powered by a new A10 Fusion chipset with four cores: two high-power cores and two high-efficiency cores that work together to provide optimized performance.

One of the most significant upgrades to the phone's performance is its battery life. According to estimates, users can expect an extra two hours of average daily use from the 4.7-inch iPhone compared to the standard model. This translates to a more practical and manageable device for everyday use. When you compute your iPhone starting this Friday, September 9th, you'll be able to choose from 32 gigabytes, 128 gigabytes, or 256 gigabytes of storage. The jet black option, however, is only available on the top two tiers.

Lastly, there's tons more coverage coming up for those who pre-order and pick them up in stores, so keep it locked to imore
