The recently released "iPhone 7" has mixed reviews from avid iPhone users. Since its release on September 7, 2016 many expressed satisfaction as well as dismay. In depth review, of its specifications and features is then be provided.
The "iPhone 7" was expected to be a little less improved version of its predecessor, the iPhone 6s. This made a lot of buyers and iPhone users lay off on buying it and instead for the release of iPhone 8 sometime end of 2017. However, it is good to know that this phone is more than what people expect it would be.
In terms of the design, according to Anandtech, an "iPhone 7" user would immediately notice that it has a solid and straightforward home button. There is a Taptic Engine to enable the said home button but it takes getting a little used to. It is also difficult to tell the difference between an iPhone 6 and iPhone 7 because the design is almost similar. One can right away tell the difference between an "iPhone 7" and "iPhone 7 Plus" basically of its size. For avid iPhone users though, they may be able to tell an "iPhone 7 apart because the new earpiece is slightly on the wider side.
The camera though is better compared to its predecessor. The camera of "iPhone 7" has better and faster f/1.8 lens, additional feature on optical image stabilization and new four-color True Tone flash which is not found on any other iPhone previously released. All of these features add up to even better image and video quality when shooting still or even moving. It also performs well on low light condition. Performance has been made better with A10 Fushion chip for high performance cores and two low-power cores which use less battery based on the review made by The Verge.
In conclusion, "iPhone 7" is a better version of the 6s and 6s Plus however, other brands such as Samsung's Note 7 is still considered a tough competition in terms of design, utility, features and specifications. A buyer should be absolutely sure if such phone would meet their required specifications on the main reasons for purchasing- Design, Camera and Performance.
