The iPhone 7 together with the iPhone 7 Plus are smartphones designed, developed and marketed by Apple Inc. They were announced on September 7, 2016. With less than 2 months, find out the strong and weak points of this smartphone and other things you must know about it.
You mus know that as reported before, the initial quantity of the Apple iPhone 7 Plus, especially the jet black model, are already sold out. The company didn't expect that the demand would be that great.
Here is a detailed review for the in-demand Apple iPone 7, according to Know Your Mobile.
Design
The 7 Plus shares an almost identical design to the smaller model, with the only significant difference - aside from the dimensions - being the fact that it has a dual camera setup on the back, which we'll cover later in this review. In every other regard, this is simply just a bigger iPhone 7, so we advise you to refer to that review for more information.
It goes without saying that the iPhone 7 Plus boasts a larger screen than the standard model. Its 5.5-inch backlit LED panel has a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, which is a jump from the 4.7-inch, 750 x 1334 pixel screen on the smaller model. A 1080p display on a phablet isn't all that impressive in 2016, and many smaller Android phones have sharper screens. However, as was the case with the standard iPhone 7, it's impossible to pick out individual pixels so it's not that much of a concern. The panel is brighter and better at replicating colors than the one seen on the iPhone 6S Plus, which should give existing iPhone fans reason to upgrade.
Specification
In terms of technical specifications, the 7 Plus is an exact match to the iPhone 7, aside from RAM - the larger model has 3GB while the smaller version has 2GB. To be honest, it's hard to notice any real difference in day-to-day use, although the additional gigabyte should ensure smoother performance on the 7 Plus in the long run.
Camera
Aside from the screen, this is one of the key areas where the 7 Plus differs from the normal iPhone 7. It has the same 12-megapixel lens as its smaller stablemate, which boasts an aperture of f/1.8 and OIS, allowing for really effective low-light shooting. However, the 7 Plus is packing a second 12 megapixel, f/2.8 telephoto lens which gives x2 optical zoom and works in conjunction with the other camera to create some impressive depth-of-field effects.
When taking a photo, the phone uses the data from both lens to create a depth map and then applies a nifty "Bokeh" effect to blur out the background and bring the subject into sharper focus. While the effect is artificial to the degree, it's convincing - and to achieve it via normal means you'd need an expensive DSLR camera with a wide aperture, so what Apple has achieved here is remarkable. The telephoto lens also allows for incredible macro shots, and once you've taken a few snaps with the 7 Plus, you'll wonder how you ever coped without it.
Battery
There's a 2900 mAh battery inside the 7 Plus, which is a big jump from the 1960 mAh cell seen in the smaller model. Stamina could be something of a concern with the standard iPhone 7, but that's not the case with the Plus model - even by the end of the day, our review unit still had juice in the tank and we were able to push it a lot more in terms of playing games, watching movies and surfing the web.
