The newest rage in the tech world would have to be the iPhone 7, which was made and created by Apple. One of the biggest improvements from Apple is the cameras on their phones. The iPhone 7’s camera comes with a 12 MP six-lens camera module with f/1.8 aperture size. The camera sports an upgraded sensor which is about 60 percent faster and 30 percent more efficient than the iPhone 6S.
The iPhone 7 is 5.44×2.64×0.28 inches in length and it weighs 4.87 ounces. It is also the first phone made by Apple that has water resistant qualities; it can be immersed in up to 1 meter in depth for at least 30 minutes without any damage. Another pro of the new iPhone 7 is the new stereo loudspeakers that are made to be two times louder than its predecessor. It also has a Force Touch home button which has all the features of the old iPhone home button, but it can only be activated by the touch of a human finger.
Along with all the pros of the newest iPhone, there are also several cons that come with its purchase. One of the biggest and most discussed cons of the phone is the removal of the 3.5-millimeter headphone port. In order to listen to sound from headphones or earbuds, you need a Bluetooth device or the adapter in order to listen to music from it. Another disadvantage is that you can’t listen to music and charge it at the same time because the adapter goes into the charging outlet.
Another problem the iPhone 7 has is that there is no notable improvement to the display of the phone, which many iPhone users have been waiting for. Also, even if the phone claims to be water resistant, there is no warranty for any damage to the phone pertaining water, There is also no change in the thickness of the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 7.
“I like how the phone loads things faster and the camera quality is really nice, but I don’t like that I can’t listen to music and charge my phone at the same time,” sophomore Kelcie Wolf said, giving both the pros and the cons of her personal iPhone 7.
