Apple iPhone 7 review:
05:40Curved wraparound screen? Nope. Wireless charging? Not yet. Are you
bothered that the new iPhone looks the same as last year's iPhone? If
you are, I understand the feeling. The iPhone 7 doesn't feel like the
"whole new thing." Does that bother you? Maybe. But is it better? Yeah,
it is. Except for one small 3.5-millimeter thing.
The iPhone 7, as you may have heard (you've certainly heard), has no headphone jack and it looks almost identical to the 2014 iPhone 6 and 2015 iPhone 6S. But there are still compelling reasons to consider an iPhone 7, even if you own last year's model.
- The iPhone 7 is now fully water-resistant (it can take a shallow dunking).
- The camera takes notably better photos, especially in low light, and adds the optical image stabilization feature previously restricted to the 5.5-inch Plus model.
- The battery lasts longer -- probably a couple of hours or more a day, under normal usage. (We'll update this review after we test the battery in our lab.)
- The processor is faster, although you might only notice the speed on some intensive games and the video and photo-editing apps.
