IPhone 6
IPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are smartphones designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. They were announced on September 7, 2016, at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco by Apple CEO Tim Cook, and were released on September 16, 2016, succeeding the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus as the current flagship devices in the iPhone series. Apple also released the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus in numerous countries worldwide throughout September and October 2016.
The iPhone 7's overall design is similar to the iPhone 6S, but introduces new color options, water and dust resistance, a new capacitive, static home button, and removes the 3.5 mm headphone jack. The device's internal hardware also received upgrades, including a heterogeneous quad-core system-on-chip with improved system and graphics performance, and upgraded 12 megapixel rear-facing cameras with optical image stabilization on all models and an additional telephoto lens on the iPhone 7 Plus model to provide enhanced zoom capabilities.
Reception of the iPhone 7 was mixed. Although reviewers noted the improvements to the camera, especially the dual rear camera on the Plus model, they also stated that the iPhone 7 did not make significant changes to the display or build quality, where competing flagship smartphones surpassed the quality of the iPhone 7. Many reviews highlighted the controversial removal of the 3.5 mm headphone jack; some critics argued that the change was meant to bolster licensing of the proprietary Lightning connector and the sales of Apple's own wireless headphone products, and questioned the effects of the change on audio quality. Apple was also mocked by critics for its statement that the change required "courage".
Apple has not released sales numbers for iPhone 7, but multiple US carriers reported that it was in high demand on launch. Subsequent reports at the end of 2016 stated that Apple had reduced production of the models due to "sluggish" sales and decreasing demand.
Prior to its official announcement, multiple aspects of the iPhone 7 were heavily rumored. Apple's plans to remove the 3.5 mm headphone jack received significant media attention.[11][12][13][14] Other rumors included a flush camera, stereo speakers, a thinner Lightning port,[15] a 256 gigabyte storage option, and a larger 3,100 mAh battery.[16]
On August 29, 2016, invitations to a press event at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, California on September 7, 2016 were sent out to members of the media, prompting immediate speculation of the iPhone 7's upcoming announcement.[17][18] The iPhone 7 was officially announced at that event, with pre-orders beginning September 9, and general availability on September 16.[19][20]
iPhone 7 launched in 30 new countries later in September, with further international rollouts throughout October and November 2016.[21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Indonesia is the last country to release the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, with availability starting on March 31, 2017, following Apple's research and development investment in the country.[28]
On March 21, 2017, Apple announced an iPhone 7 with a red color finish (and white front), as part of its partnership with (PRODUCT)RED to highlight its AIDS fundraising campaign. It launched on March 24, 2017.[29][30]
Hardware
The iPhone 7's exterior is similar in shape and volume to iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S. Alongside the existing silver, gold, and rose gold colors, the device is offered in new matte black, "jet black",[19] and red colors.[29][30] The "jet black" color is a dark shade, high-gloss black finish. It is created through a multi-step process, beginning with an anodization phase to make the surface of the casing a porous aluminum oxide, and then using a machine to sweep the casing through a powdered compound, absorbed by aluminum oxide. The process is concluded with an "ultrafine particle bath" for additional finishing; the entire process takes less than an hour.[31]
iPhone 7 is rated IP67 water and dust resistant,[32] although tests have resulted in malfunctions, specifically distorted speakers, after water exposure.[33] The warranty does not cover any water damage to the phone.[34]
iPhone 7's home button uses a capacitive mechanism for input rather than a physical push-button, as on previous models, meaning direct skin contact (or a capacitive glove) is required to operate the device.[35][36] Physical feedback is provided via a Taptic Engine vibrator, and the button is also pressure-sensitive.[37] iPhone 7 retains the "3D Touch" display system introduced on the iPhone 6S, providing pressure-sensitive touchscreen input.[19]
The iPhone 7 does not feature a 3.5 mm headphone jack; it was replaced by a second grille that houses the phone's new Taptic Engine vibration feedback system.[38] A Lightning-to-3.5-mm-connector adapter, as well as in-ear headphones that use the Lightning connector, are bundled with the device,[19] and the adapter is also sold separately as an accessory.[39] The adapter is also compatible with other iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices running iOS 10.[40]
iPhone 7 uses the Apple A10 Fusion 64-bit system-on-chip, which consists of two low-power cores and two high-power cores (only two cores are used at any point in time[41]). The A10 chip also features a hexa-core graphics chip capable of "console-level gaming".[42] As with prior models, iPhone 7 is available in two sizes: one with a 4.7-inch screen, and a "Plus" variant with a 5.5-inch screen.[43] The displays have identical sizes and resolutions to iPhone 6S, but with a wider color gamut[19] and increased brightness.[44] The screen-to-body ratio is about ~66% and ~68% for the 7 and 7 Plus, respectively.[45][46]
Both device variants also contain a new iteration of Apple's motion coprocessor, the M10.[47] Unlike previous iPhone models, internal storage options for iPhone 7 begin at 32 GB instead of 16 GB, and max out at 256 GB.[48] iPhone 7 Plus offers 3 GB of RAM, more than any other previous iPhone;[41] the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 has 2 GB.[49]
The iPhone 7 includes a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera with a quad-LED "True Tone" flash; its aperture was widened to f/1.8, and the standard-size phone model adds optical image stabilization - a feature that was previously exclusive to Plus models.[50] The iPhone 7 Plus includes a second 12-megapixel telephoto lens, which can be used to achieve 2x optical zoom, and up to 10x digital zoom. The front-facing camera was upgraded to a 7-megapixel sensor with automatic image stabilization.[19][51]
