I can’t actually can’t decide which part of the iPhone 7 is the best feature, but one thing is for sure I love wireless technology. For now we can go away with wireless except for power. We now have bluetooth mouse, keyboard, speakers, wifi, headphones, the only thing missing is contactless charging.
If you are already using 6s it is not recommended to get an upgrade, in fact if you are using the “S” series, you’ve done a wrong decision. Most big upgrades would usually be in their “flagship” version, from iPhone 4,5,6 and now 7!
The design
It’s a bit disappointingw how the iPhone design hasn’t change a lot, I think one of their bigger leaps in terms of design was the iPhone4 and a finally a bigger iPhone 5. The black and jet black seems to be interesting enough to put a little interest with the variations. But really despite this design being so simple, when you actually look at the color it just fits elegantly with the iPhone
Disclaimer on the new Jet Black:
The high-gloss finish of the jet black iPhone 7 is achieved through a precision nine-step anodization and polishing process. Its surface is equally as hard as other anodized Apple products; however, its high shine may show fine micro-abrasions with use. If you are concerned about this, we suggest you use one of the many cases available to protect your iPhone.
Camera
Remember it’s not always the bigger MP, but the quality of output your camera gives you. iPhone has been known for one of the best camera phone there is. All you need to know is that Apple once again has raised the bar in their camera with the zoom feature and they have now quad LED flash.
No more 3.5mm earphone jack
The first reason why we all thought they would remove the jack because the iPhone7 will be thinner, but it doesn’t seem to be the case. Apple wanted to stress out that the 3.5mm jack was an old technology, they wanted to move to digital. Don’t worry analog headphone jack connector will be included in the package.

Airpods
One word, simplicity. I loved how they created wireless earphones with the following feature: no more parining, no on/off button, no actual buttons. You simply wear the earphones and autoamtically connects once your phone is near. Of course in terms of sound quality, and how well it would fit in your ears without falling, we still need to find out.
I just miss the good old days where there were no leak articles floating around before the launch, people would just speculate before the event. But today, it seems all the “leaked” articles are so accurate you don’t need to wait for the event itself.
My recommendation? if you’re an Apple fan, I need no more convincing of you. If you are an Android user and thinking to switch, it always a good time to switch during their “flagship” phone without the “S” series. Overall iPhone 7 has always met the standards of everyone, but I guess that’s the problem today, they don’t exceed expectations of the customers anymore. But for me, whatever critics would say, there is always something new with iPhones that excites you every time. In my case jumping from 6 to 7 would be a big leap in terms of features that some 6s already enjoys.
What do you think? are you getting one this year?
