All the features of iPhone 7. Wake up without fingers. Let's put everything into pieces
iPhone 7 Plus is one of the most unusual devices Apple has ever created. Yes, if you put a case on it, it will look little different from its predecessor, but you will recognize the 7 Plus at least by the absence of an audio jack. The main differences are felt when you pick up the smartphone and feel the full power of the A10 Fusion processor and the full speed of the 3 GB of RAM. Yes, this is a review of the iPhone 7 Plus.
The removal of the audio jack is the most controversial issue in both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Apple once abandoned the optical drive in its computers, then the 30-pin connector in the iPod, and then USB - the same 12-inch MacBook has USB-C installed. Whether this is the right decision or not is up to the buyers to decide, but we will tell you about our impressions.
Our iPhone 7 Plus had iOS 10 installed out of the box, and this seems to be the prerogative of new iPhones, since only iOS 10.0.1 can be installed on old ones; Apple skipped the “naked ten”. That is, in order to use Siri with a normal human voice and other functions, you must first install the update. Strange decision.
The package is standard except for one important detail - now there is an adapter for connecting headphones with a 3.5 mm interface. Another point that we noticed is that for some reason the instructions were not under the device, as usual, but above it. Like, first read how to use it, and only then turn it on.
Design
The iPhone 7 Plus is to some extent similar to the iPhone 6s Plus, but that same “revolution” has not gone away. Now it is waterproof, which is great: although not completely, you can hold it at a depth of one meter under water for 30 minutes and nothing will happen to your smartphone. True, you cannot charge the iPhone for 5 hours after this. However, damage resulting from contact with liquid is not covered by the warranty, according to Apple's website. The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Note 7 are certainly more waterproof, but at least this one doesn't explode (sorry, that joke was supposed to be there).
In addition to water resistance, the new product is distinguished from its predecessor by three more innovations: firstly, the antennas have moved to the top and bottom ends, there are no more white stripes in the middle of the case, which is something that iPhone 6s Plus owners constantly complained about. In addition, the camera in the iPhone 7 Plus has become not only more powerful, but also more stylish: it is now a full-fledged shooting unit, securely hidden under sapphire crystal. And yes, we now have a double camera protrusion, although it protrudes more elegantly.
And third - again - it doesn't have an audio jack. Fortunately, they included EarPods with a Lightning connector, but if you wish, you can get wireless AirPods. In the latter case, however, be prepared to shell out another 13 thousand rubles.
But the truth is, if you put it in a case, the iPhone 7 Plus will look almost exactly like the iPhone 6s Plus. And if this is a model in “black onyx” color, then it’s better to buy the case right away - it will scratch like crazy, and fingerprints will be annoying.
Home button, display and speakers
The Home button on the iPhone 7 Plus is unlike anything else—it no longer moves like the trackpad on the new MacBooks. The fact that you press it is indicated by tactile feedback, for which the updated Taptic Engine module is responsible. The button also senses pressure. By the way, it was largely because of him that Apple abandoned the audio jack in its new smartphones.
The Touch ID fingerprint sensor isn't going away—you can still unlock your iPhone this way, and it'll even be faster. It works flawlessly, which is really great. In general, pressing the Home button resembles a very unusual action, as if with one click you “squeeze” the iPhone in half. In reality this is, of course, not the case, but that’s how it feels. We need to get used to it.
3D Touch in the display, of course, remains, and the display itself has been improved, at least a little. No, this is not a 2K or 4K OLED display, as on popular Android smartphones, but still a high-quality Full HD screen, a widescreen display with a diagonal of 5.5 inches and LED backlighting, which has become not only brighter, but is also now able to display wider range of colors. Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating, screen scaling, and dual-domain pixels for wider viewing angles are all nice touches you don't notice but use every day. Photos taken with iPhone 7 Plus look stunning on the iPhone 7 Plus display.
From now on, the iPhone has two stereo speakers, one located in its usual place (at the bottom), and the other at the top, along with the earpiece. They have become much louder, sound much better, 2 times louder than in the iPhone 6s, and are activated in landscape mode. Watching movies or TV series has become even more interesting; now you don’t need to pick up a laptop.
Camera
As we have already said, the iPhone 7 Plus has a dual camera - 12 megapixels each with a wide-angle and a telephoto lens. The first has an ƒ/1.8 aperture, the second has an ƒ/2.8 aperture. All this is provided by 2x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom, so the new iPhone takes photos very cool.
Optical image stabilization, panoramic shooting (up to 63 megapixels), a six-element lens and exposure control deserve special attention. “Boke,” as Phil Schiller said, is not there yet, we have to wait for a firmware update. Even so, the iPhone 7 Plus is just one step closer to the camera capabilities of Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge. Let's be objective.
It's cool that you can activate 2x zoom with just one press of a button. However, you won’t be able to play around with the focus, like in the Honor 8 from Huawei or the Lytro camera. The iPhone 7 Plus cannot do this, since here the capabilities of the dual camera are more focused on zoom. But zoom without loss of quality is, as one of our employees said, my respect.
As for video recording, the iPhone 7 Plus has both 720p 30 fps and 1080p at 30 or 60 fps, and even 4K at 30 fps. There is also support for shooting slow-motion video at 1080p resolution at 120 fps or at 720p at 240 fps. The video features cinematic stabilization, noise reduction, and face and figure recognition.
The front camera is called FaceTime HD, easily takes photos with a resolution of 7 megapixels and records 1080p HD video. It has an ƒ/2.2 aperture, a BSI sensor and automatic image stabilization. In general, the selfies will be great.
Connection
Usually, minimal attention is paid to communication, but in the case of the iPhone 7 Plus it cannot be ignored: LTE in the new smartphone supports speeds of up to 450 Mbps, which is 3 times faster than on the iPhone 6. Up to 25 LTE bands, Wi‑Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac with MIMO technology, Bluetooth 4.2 wireless technology and NFC.
Power
The completely new A10 processor is responsible for this in the iPhone 7 Plus, or rather not just the A10, but the A10 Fusion. The A10 has become the most powerful processor in the iPhone since the presentation of the first generation of the smartphone - a quad-core chip with 3.3 billion transistors. Although Apple never said how many transistors were in the A9 processor, experts believe the number was around 2.5 billion.
3.3 billion transistors is twice as many as the A8 processor. This allowed for a performance increase of up to 40% compared to the A9. In addition, two fast cores and two more energy-efficient cores in symbiosis reduce the power consumption of the iPhone without compromising its operating speed.
The graphics of the A10 deserve special attention - the performance of the graphics chip is 50% higher than that of the A9. However, the synthetic tests speak for themselves: in the AnTuTu test, the iPhone 7 scored over 178 thousand points. The same Galaxy S7 Edge from Samsung scores no more than 135 thousand points.
Companion to the A10 is the built-in M10 motion coprocessor, which is not only used for the “race to wake” function, but also for step tracking, as well as other functions related to the movement of the iPhone in space.
The amount of RAM has also increased. The iPhone 7 Plus has a whopping 3GB of RAM, while the iPhone 6s Plus has 2GB. Although 2 GB of RAM was enough, Apple still decided to increase this number to three. To say that it has become better is to say nothing; the iPhone 7 Plus simply “flies”, and this applies to both games and ordinary resource-intensive applications.
By the way, judging by synthetic tests, the iPhone 7 Plus turned out to be faster than the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, scoring a record number of points in AnTuTu. Not to say that we really love synthetics, but we need to brag.
Battery
Well, finally we see an iPhone with the most powerful battery in the history of a smartphone - 2900 mAh, which is 5% more than the iPhone 6s Plus (2750 mAh). Compared to the iPhone 6s Plus, battery life has increased by one hour, compared to the iPhone 6s by two hours.
Colors and capacity
In addition to the “black onyx”, which we have already expressed our distrust, the iPhone 7 Plus is presented in four more color options: “rose gold”, gold”, silver and black. The latter, it should be noted, looks and feels much better in the hands than the others; it is not surprising that it is now almost impossible to get anywhere. And the case in this case is not as necessary as with the same “black onyx”.
Most importantly, in the “size” line there is no longer a version with 16 GB of internal memory. Minimum 32 GB, and if you want more, buy 128 GB or 256 GB. Yes, no more intermediate options. And if the refusal of 16 GB can still be justified somehow, then the lack of 64 GB was a disappointment for us personally.
Our iPhone 7 Plus verdict
pros
- Waterproof
- Improved dual camera
- More capacious battery
- Great bright display

- The zoom thanks to the dual camera is simply amazing
Minuses
- No audio jack (subjective)

- I would like the design to be fresher
If we were to rate the iPhone 7 Plus on a scale of one to ten, we'd give it a 9 out of 10. It seems to be exactly what we expected from the new iPhone, but at the same time it still feels unfinished. Probably, Apple has spoiled us so much that you don’t even know what to complain about.
The latest iPhone model went on sale in September 2016, and as always, Apple did not disappoint its fans. At the moment, it is the best smartphone of all the company’s products in terms of the following parameters: appearance, use of the latest technologies and improved functions.
Appearance of iPhone 7
The appearance of the iPhone 7 is not very good: the case size is the same, the shape is completely preserved, the materials from which the smartphones are made remain unchanged, the only change is that the weight of the latest model has decreased by 4 grams, which is not very noticeable.
Two color schemes have been added to the main colors of the iPhone: and, which adds chic to the owners of such iPhones. However, the glossy black color is very demanding - fingerprints remain on the surface despite the oleophobic, grease-repellent coating. In addition, scratches are very visible on such a case, so it is recommended to purchase a special case for your phone. But in this case, it doesn’t really matter what color you buy the iPhone 7. Moreover, glossy black is produced in limited quantities and only with built-in memory of 128 and 256 GB. The antenna strips have disappeared from the body of the new smartphone, or better said, they are made to match the body and are almost invisible.
iPhone 7 activation and home button
In the new iPhone, the iOS 10 operating system has undergone some changes, and, of course, for the better. “Raise to activate” is one of them, just pick up the phone, it is immediately activated and you can see all the notifications and easily unlock the screen. It has also undergone changes, which was replaced with a touch one and when lightly pressed with the tip of your fingers, it will execute the given command. The Taptic Engine drive allows you to lock your iPhone without any problems, as well as adjust the elasticity function to one of three degrees. This is a big plus for smartphone owners - with the touch system, there is no longer a need for repair shops if the button is damaged.
Operating system iOS10
It is the iOS10 operating system that makes the iPhone 7 unique and inimitable in a large family of smartphones. First of all, it works great. Secondly, all the applications are very useful and varied. Thirdly, the system guarantees complete confidentiality and all your data will be reliably protected. All information transmitted through Siri and Maps is encrypted and is not used to create user profiles. And also algorithms for recognizing people and objects only work autonomously and only on your iPhone. The operating system of the new iPhone has a very convenient feature - pre-installed applications that take up a lot of memory and are infrequently used can be deleted and, if necessary, reinstalled using the App Store catalog.
The iMessage app has new, cool features that will add variety to your communication with different people. For example, you can write something by hand on the display, and the message will reach the recipient in this form. Or multiple new stickers that can be placed on message bubbles. Or drawings with a touch effect on photos and videos. Or you can write a message and fill it with ink, which the recipient can read only when he touches it with his finger.
Some applications have appeared that serve for comfort and convenience:
- “Home smartly” - while being close to home, using this application you can raise the curtains, open the door or turn on any electrical appliance. But to do this, you need to install the HomeKit system in your home;
- "Maps" - this application can guess your new route and indicate the shortest path;
- the “Siri” application has increased the range of its capabilities and can accurately execute your voice command: find any photo, play music, send a message to the desired recipient, read the latest message, and much more;
- The Memories app can independently analyze your photos and create videos with music and captions.
iPhone 7 performance
The seventh iPhone has the A 10 Fusion processor - the most powerful of all smartphone processors, the fastest and most economical. It has 4 cores, two of which are responsible for operating efficiency and two for performance. Thus, the seven increased efficiency by 5 times, productivity by 2, and the speed of the graphics processor by 3 times compared to the iPhone 6. With a processor of this level, it also increased by 2 hours, which allows the owner of the iPhone to use it all day long in intensive mode. It should be noted that the seventh iPhone has a larger storage capacity of 3 GB and permanent storage capacity of 32, 128 and 256 GB. This will allow the owner to load the applications he likes into the video without fear of memory overload.
Cameras

Optical image stabilization
Optical image stabilization allows you to balance out the slightest fluctuations and reduce blur when your smartphone or objects are moving.
Not only photos, but also videos that can be taken with the iPhone 7 look very decent, and with a 12 MP camera, even night shots will look great. It won't be a problem to shoot slow-motion videos at 1080p resolution either. and 720 rub. For Instagram fans and selfie lovers, there is great news related to the front camera of the iPhone Seven: not only the resolution has expanded, but also the range of colors. This circumstance allows you to take clearer and more realistic selfies, and the Retina Flash will help to convey the natural color of your skin in the picture. When shooting photos or videos, the processor performs more than 100 billion operations, so it is not surprising that the result exceeds all expectations. In addition, the Photos application has all sorts of settings and filters for editing and publishing your work.
Stereo

The iPhone 7 has undergone changes in the stereo system; the power of the stereo speakers has doubled compared to the previous iPhone model. Moreover, the range of the speakers has increased, allowing you to hear better sounds. A valuable change is the EarPods, which connect to your phone using a Lightning connector. But the most interesting thing is that this smartphone can be purchased. All you have to do is take them out of the case and they are ready to play what you want to listen to. They are quite smart - as soon as you remove them, they stop playing sounds and go into standby mode.
Waterproof
Another invaluable quality of the iPhone 7 is that this . Guaranteed time - 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter, not just splashing rain or water. If even a small amount of liquid or dust gets on the phone, the alert function is triggered. In this case, you just need to turn off your smartphone and let it dry.
Key Features of iPhone 7
So, from all of the above, we can highlight the main innovations of the iPhone 7, which put it in first place among all existing smartphone models: water resistance, a touch-sensitive home button, a more attractive interface, many smart applications, improved photo quality, increased memory and two new colors housings.
Most buyers are talking about buying a new smartphone, which can replace previous versions of gadgets for a long time. First of all, it’s worth highlighting the main advantages and characteristics for which you should think about buying an iPhone 7. Let’s look at the iPhone 7’s features and capabilities.
We will talk about the most popular advantages that are the main differences between the flagship and previous versions of the iPhone, as well as most Android smartphones. It is worth noting that for safe operation of the device and protection of the smartphone display, we advise you to use a 3D protective glass for iPhone 7 with full screen coverage. Manufacturer Benks.
Protection from dust and moisture
For the first time, Apple has released long-awaited gadget models that are protected according to the IP67 standard. Smartphones such as the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus and the new version of the Apple Watch have received increased protection from dust and moisture. Please note that the protection of a smartphone according to the IP67 standard does not mean that the device has 100% protection from moisture and dust. For example, Apple commented on this as follows: “iPhone 7 and 7 plus have undergone successful experimental studies and laboratory tests according to the IP67 standard, but the degree of protection cannot be a constant factor, because it decreases during the operation of the flagship.
Capacitive battery and autonomy
The iPhone 7 received a battery with the following characteristics: 1980 mAh, versus 2900 mAh in the iPhone 7 Plus. Don't forget about the all-new processor: the A10 Fusion.
In total, thanks to the optimized operation of the processor and capacitive battery, the iPhone 7/7 Plus was able to work without a battery charge for several hours more than previous smartphone models.
Stereo audio system iPhone 7
One of the innovations that Apple can boast of is the presence in the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus of an audio system that operates in “Stereo” mode, due to the speakers being spaced around the smartphone body. They are located at the top and bottom of the device panel.
Composite aluminum as part of the device
It's no secret that the build quality of Apple smartphones is still at its best today. The iPhone 7/7P cases are made of reinforced aluminum alloy, which increases the rigidity of the smartphone as a whole. That is why the gadget can easily withstand a fall from a small height. But if the fall occurs on the smartphone display, then the glass will most likely be damaged. We advise you to use it in full screen to protect yourself from expensive repairs to replace the iPhone display.
3D Touch
iPhone 7 new features and 3D Touch technologies help device owners quickly perform familiar actions that took a lot of time. Also, the seventh series gadgets do not have a mechanical “Home” button.
Details Created: December 19, 2016 Updated: March 29, 2018The iPhone is known to be a very useful thing, but it has hidden functions that many people are not even aware of. For example, not every owner of an Apple gadget knows that his phone contains a map of all the places he has visited, or that he can control the screen by turning his head.

Looking at the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, you might think that there are very few changes compared to their predecessors, but in fact this is not the case. In the new generation of Apple smartphones, you can already customize the touch-sensitive Home button, portrait mode has appeared in the 5.5-inch iPhone model, and much more.
We have prepared 10 of the most useful tips for owners of the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, and we will also tell you about some secrets that you probably didn’t know about.
1. Setting up the Home button
As you already know, the “Home” button is no longer pressed in the usual way. Apple has decided to abandon the mechanical button in favor of a touch button that recognizes touches. Thanks to Taptic Engine technology, the user feels feedback that simulates pressing.
Cupertino has provided the ability to customize the level of tactile response, you can choose the most suitable one for you. Open Settings, go to General, and then select Home Button from the list. There you will see three different levels of feedback, try each and choose the one that suits you best.
2. Turn your keyboard into a trackpad
This isn't a new feature on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, but it's made noticeably more convenient thanks to the capabilities of 3D Touch technology. The usual method, where you tap on a word with your finger to correct a mistake or highlight it, is not very reliable or accurate. Sometimes it's hard to get the cursor exactly where you want it, and even seeing it isn't always easy because your finger is covering the screen.
There is another, more advanced way that will make you crazy. Just press harder on the keyboard to activate 3D Touch capabilities, and then you'll see the letters disappear. This turns the keyboard into a trackpad, just like on a MacBook.
Slide your finger across the keyboard surface to move the cursor on the screen. To highlight the desired word, press your finger even harder, and if you need to highlight the entire sentence, then you need to press twice.
3. How to disable vibration feedback
On iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, vibration feedback is enabled by default in many system applications. For example, while dialing a number or choosing the time when you want to set the alarm. As it turns out, this is annoying for many users, and if you are one of them, then you will be interested in knowing how to disable this feature.
Open the settings application, find the “Sounds and response” item, scroll to the very bottom, where you will see the corresponding vibration response switch in the smartphone system. Turn the switch to the off position to get rid of unpleasant or unnecessary vibration.
4. Clear all notifications at once
The notification center in iOS 10 has become much more convenient, but only owners of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 7 can experience all the benefits of this version of the operating system. On older versions of iOS, users had to clear notifications one at a time each day by pressing the Clear button (X).
But with the advent of 3D Touch technology on the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus devices, you can remove all notifications received from applications with one click. We talked about this in detail, so follow the link.
5. Quickly switch between applications
Every iOS device user can switch between recently launched apps by double-pressing the Home button, but 3D Touch-enabled smartphone users can do it much faster.
You can press your finger to the left edge of the screen near the frame to open the multitasking interface, where all the running programs are located in a row. But if you swipe right instead of holding your finger, the app you were running before will open. (Keep in mind that you need to wait for the 3D Touch to respond, otherwise you will return to the previous page).
6. Portrait mode on iPhone 7 Plus
Apple iPhone 7 Plus has a main camera with two lenses: one of them has a focal length of 28 mm, while the other has a focal length of 56 mm. This allows the smartphone to zoom in on objects with less loss of quality than any other digital zoom device. And if your phablet is running iOS 10 beta, then you can take impressive portrait photos with a blurred background (bokeh effect).
Once Apple gets this feature stable and accurate, it will release an update that will add portrait mode to the camera app.
7. Touch unlock
In iOS 10 on iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the user has to press the Home button to unlock the screen, instead of touching it as before. Many complained that this unlocking method is far from ideal. Luckily, you can get everything back to normal by changing your phone settings.
To do this, open the “Settings” application, go to the “General” section, and then to “Accessibility”. Find the “Open with finger” option in the “Home” menu and activate it.
8. Disable the “Raise to Activate” function
We think the Raise to Activate feature is one of the most useful new features in iOS 10 on iPhone 7, as it allows the display to automatically light up when the user lifts the phone. But perhaps you prefer to wake up your device yourself? In this case, we will show you how to disable this feature. Open Settings again, go to “Display & Brightness” and then find the “Raise to Wake” option here and turn it off.
9. Disable new effects in the Messages app
Another big innovation in the latest version of iOS is new effects in the Messages app, so you can send beautiful messages to your friends. But the good news is that if you don't like them, you can always turn them off. Your messages will not be accompanied by various effects, which, for example, can have a positive impact on the autonomy of the mobile device.
It's still simple: go to the General section of your iPhone's settings, then select Accessibility and turn on the Reduce Motion option. This will also affect the amount of moving effects in other areas of the system.
10. Shortcuts in the Control Center
3D Touch technology opens up a number of convenient shortcuts for the iPhone user in the Control Center. The panel with switches can be raised by swiping up from the very bottom edge of the display. It still provides users with quick access to the most frequently used functions such as the flashlight, timer, calculator and camera. But in iOS 10, 3D Touch technology brings many additional features.
For example, you can choose the brightness level of a flashlight by pressing its switch a little harder. If you also click on the camera icon, you can immediately select the shooting mode before launching it.
