iPhone 7 has many changes compared to old iPhone 6s is a lot, but I highlight 7 main innovations in the new smartphone.
Home touch button
Sensory Home key simply gorgeous. Taptic Engine, which simulates triggering physical key, forced the case filling to be reworked. This is one of the reasons why the headphone jack was removed from the iPhone 7. But what an unusual sensation in the hand from the operation of this motor! It’s very pleasant to feel a trembling throughout your body, as if it were a living organism. But this is no longer the usual “click” that it used to be. New sensations.
Moisture protection
Apple has finally added a useful feature to its phones; now iPhones are not afraid of water (and beer, as our test showed). Although Apple defended itself from all sides and stated that if moisture is found inside a phone protected by IP67, the owner will be deprived of the warranty. Although who said that the phone should break after the first swim? I think the iPhone 7 will hold up just fine.
Camera
The lens has matured and become larger, now the camera looks neater, although it still protrudes from the body. New 12-megapixel sensor with f/1.8 aperture optical stabilization Focuses faster and also consumes less energy during operation. Alas, but dual camera It's only available on the iPhone 7 Plus; it adds a second camera that helps bring objects closer without losing quality. The front camera has also been improved, FaceTime is now 7 megapixels.
Sound via Lightning
Like it or not, the iPhone 7 now does not have the usual headphone jack. The set includes the well-known EarPods, but now with Lightning at the end. I'm happy for those who like the sound quality of the EarPods, but I'm categorically not satisfied with them. They fall out of your ears, play music poorly, and it’s better to replace them with others as soon as possible.
What options? Buy yourself Bluetooth headphones or go with a 3.5 mm adapter. It looks very so-so, especially in combination with a black phone and a blue headphone cable. If I were Apple, I would think about multi-colored adapters, but Chinese businessmen will happily do this.
Stereo speakers
The role of an additional speaker is played by a conversational speaker, even noticeably stereo. iPhone 7 has become much louder, it’s more pleasant to watch videos in the yard on a bench to the delight of your neighbors, incoming call Don't miss it either, you can always hear the melody perfectly. Moreover, the phone plays very cleanly and powerfully, this is progress.
Iron
New Apple processor The A10 Fusion is 2 times faster than the A8 in the iPhone 6 and 40% more powerful than the iPhone 6. According to the tests, everything is fine, and the speed of working in the menu is also great. Faster, more powerful, stronger: everything is as it should be. Why so much strength? I hope the phone will not lag over time and will last 2-3 years active use. I haven’t used the 6s, I’ve been away from the iPhone 6 Plus for two years, and compared to it, the new one is simply reactive.
Design
There was no fatal change in shape, but the old Space Gray color disappeared, replaced by two black ones: matte and glossy. The first one quickly gets dirty, and the second one is mercilessly scratched, but despite this, it is the Jet Black color that is in high demand. Apple has carefully changed the design of the antennas, now they look much sleeker, the phones are prettier, but the sizes remain the same.
Of course, there are many features on the iPhone that we use. There are dozens of hidden conveniences in the iPhone that you might not be aware of. These are the best iPhone hacks you probably didn't know about. And so we went:
1. Reset on iPhone 7
You may not have noticed that the Home button on the iPhone 7 isn't actually a button, but a sensor. Tactful vibration feedback creates an impression physical button, but is not actually pressed. Therefore, it is completely useless to press it when the phone is frozen or turned off.
And you won’t be able to do the familiar Reset by simultaneously pressing two buttons, Power and Home. Instead, hold down the Power button and the Volume Down button at the same time. Your phone will reboot and start again.
Reset on iPhone 7
2. Fast charging
Tired of waiting for your phone to charge? There is a way to speed up the charging process, and it's surprisingly simple - turn on Airplane mode! In this way, you will minimize the load on the battery and, as a result, charge as quickly as possible. When Airplane mode is turned on, the phone charges 30-40% faster, and this is already about half an hour.
3. Quick input in the address bar
When entering in address bar the name of the site, and then the URL suffix, for example: .ru, .com, .co, .uk, etc. spend some time. To simplify everything, everything has already been invented: after entering the site, hold down the “.” and all the URL suffixes you need will immediately appear. All you have to do is choose the one you need.
4. Your phone knows too much about you, turn it off
A bit of a dirty trick, your iPhone is always collecting data about you in the background - be it the apps you use the most, the amount of data, or even where and how long you were.
To turn it off, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Frequently Visited Places and turn it off. Here you can see not only where you have been, but also how much time you spent in each place. Apple is really analyzing.
5. Additional tools
You probably filed the Compass app along with the Stocks and Find Friends apps in your Junk or Miscellaneous folder. Now you can pull it back out because it has a second function that will help in repairs or other situations.
No: Don't use your iPhone to hammer nails. Instead, swipe the Compass app from right to left to reveal a very useful digital “Level.” You can check whether that shelf or picture is actually hanging straight, or you can check the flatness of the table or floor.
6. How to lock focus in a standard camera
We all know that tapping the screen while taking a photo will set the camera's focus point, right? Fine. However, every time you move the camera after choosing focus, it changes.

Once you select it, you'll get a variety of vibration options, including a Create Your Vibe tool.
Create your own vibration - it's very simple, just press the screen as you would like to make your phone vibrate.
8. Siri training
Siri has a bit of a smug attitude - so there's nothing better than teaching her pronunciation. For example, how she sometimes mispronounces people's names or places the emphasis incorrectly. But now, if Siri says something wrong, just tell her so.
After she makes a mistake, say, "That's not right how you pronounce..." and you'll hear Siri ask you to pronounce the word with the correct accent and then check to make sure everything is correct.
9. Set Music to Automatically Mute
Enjoy listening to soothing music before falling asleep? Then you are probably very familiar with music playing at 3 am or until the early hours of the morning, draining your phone.
Now you can set your music on a timer. In the Clock app, go to Timer. Here, in the “When finished” tag, there is “Stop” at the very end. This will turn off the music, be it Apple Music or other players when the timer reaches zero.
10. Take photos without touching the screen
It often happens that you don’t immediately get into touch button“remove” or you close the display with your fingers and don’t see what kind of frame you’ll get. There are more convenient way- pressing any of the volume buttons while holding the phone by the edges and without covering the screen. Also, pressing the volume buttons on the connected headphones will also take a photo or start and stop video recording.

13. How to improve the signal or iPhone secret menu

14. How to undo the last action
Perhaps you noticed the message “Do not apply Input”?! So, when working with text, it often happens that a lot of text is erased, or the inserted text replaces the main one, or large text inserted in the wrong place, or other actions that need to be undone.
In such a situation, you just need to shake the phone and a message about canceling the last action will immediately pop up. Very comfortably.
How to cancel last action 15. Back button
On Android, there is a special Back button at the bottom of the screen. While on an iPhone it may be at the top of the screen or at the bottom or absent from the screen. The fact is that it is not needed on the iPhone.

Video of additional iPhone and iOS secrets
The long-awaited iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, confirming and denying many rumors. There was also Apple’s signature magic, which fans of the brand had not seen for so long. During the announcement, 10 key features of the new smartphones were noted and below we invite you to familiarize yourself with them.
1.Design
They worked hard on the smartphone and it seems to be brought to mind in every way iPhone sides 6 or 6S. The device looks more streamlined and holistic, the stripes are no longer conspicuous, and the cameras do not stick out so prominently. Matte black color seems to be the most successful and practical, but Jet Black, called “black onyx” in the Russian version, attracts all attention. iPhone processing 7 and 7 Plus in this color borders between glass and metal, the phone seems somehow unreal and cosmic. Alas, increased soiling will quickly leave no trace of this shine.
2. New button Home
Apple loves to reinvent familiar things, in in this case underwent renovation Home button. From now on, it is no longer mechanical, but sensitive to pressure force with reverse tactile communication. This is realized using Force Touch technology and the Taptic Engine drive. Now the button protrudes additional means notifications about the status of the device and can even be used in games for unusual vibration sensations.
3.Protection from water and dust
Yes, now you can throw your iPhone into an aquarium and take it with you to the pool - the IP67 standard allows it to withstand 30 minutes at a depth of up to 1 meter. iPhone 6/6S were not very willing to sink before (withstanding up to 10 minutes of diving), but now they should not be afraid of anything at all. Nevertheless, official guarantee does not apply to drowned people, so be careful.
4. Camera
Apple has upgraded the cameras of both versions of smartphones. iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have optical image stabilizers, f/1.8 aperture, a new high-speed sensor, 6-lens optics and a new image processing chip that makes them wider in color gamut and brighter. In addition to everything, there is a flash with four LEDs (two warm, two cold).
The main difference between the 7 Plus and the iPhone 7 is the dual camera: 12+12 megapixels, one of which is wide-angle and the other telephoto. This made it possible to implement 2x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom with improved quality. Thanks to software function Sneak Peak iPhone camera 7 Plus can analyze objects and surroundings, automatically adding background blur or bokeh to them. To achieve this, Apple has built a system into the camera app. machine learning, so it's a truly smart camera where you don't have to manually adjust the focus.
Permission front camera increased to 7 megapixels, for selfies and more. They promise improved colors and good digital stabilization.
5. Screens
The panel resolutions haven't changed, but they're 25% brighter, have a wider color gamut, and are now cinema-quality (whatever that means).
6. Stereo speakers
Yes, now there are two speakers. One is in the speaking hole, the other is below, but what used to be the 3.5 mm port hole is now where the microphones are. They promise sound twice as loud and clear as the iPhone 6S.
7. EarPods with Lightning
Since we're talking about abandoning 3.5 mm, we need to talk about bundled headphones with Lightning. In addition, the kit will include a Lightning to 3.5 mm adapter. Why did Apple abandon the usual connector? Yes, because 900 million devices have been created for the proprietary connector, they all connect directly to the iPhone, and the space freed up after removing the bulky 3.5 mm port can be taken by something more useful (new sensors and battery).
8. AirPods and Beats wireless line
Apple insists on the rapid arrival of a wireless future, the abandonment of 3.5 mm should breathe new life into wireless headphones new life. Branded AirPods headphones got a familiar design, but without wires, touch control(you can tap on them to call Siri), a microphone, many sensors and a proprietary W1 chip.
Apparently, these are not exactly Bluetooth headphones, because they can instantly connect to an iPhone and Apple Watch without the need for pairing. You just need to open the box with the battery pack for the headphones. They can also automatically turn on and off, analyze the noise around them and mute it for calls and communication with Siri. AirPods will cost $159, provide from 5 to 24 hours of listening on a single charge with the box, and 15 minutes in the case will give a charge for 3 hours of music.
Apple promises amazing sound quality for such tiny headphones, and they also have best time work among all similar devices. If you don't like their design, the more traditional wireless Beats Solo 3 and new PowerBeats 3 may be to your liking. Or the brand new Beats X.
9. Apple Pay
It was announced on stage that Apple Pay was coming to Japan, but what’s more interesting to us personally is that in the fall of 2016 Apple of the Year Pay will also appear in Russia. Details will be announced later.
10. Performance
For the first time in many years, Apple has moved away from using a 2-core chipset in the iPhone and switched to a 4-core A10 Fusion chipset, providing the most high performance among all modern smartphones(according to Apple).
As usual, technical details of the chipset are not disclosed, so let's talk about processor frequency and gigabytes random access memory we'll find out later. Now it is only known for certain that 2 cores are responsible for the productive mode of use, and 2 more for quiet operations.
Time battery life increased by 1-2 hours compared to the iPhone 6S Plus and 6S. From now on, the iPhone comes with 32 GB of memory by default, and 128 GB and 256 GB versions are also offered. The color “black onyx” will be available for them.
The phones will appear in Russia in the second wave on September 23; you can find prices at this link. In our opinion, new iPhones were a success and Apple made truly modern and current smartphones, which will certainly find a buyer, even despite the abandonment of 3.5 mm. What about the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus confuses us, and what we definitely like - read on the site in two alternative views on Apple’s recent announcement:
