People who have seen the phone in person i.e. If you want to visualize the iPhone 7’s Black color, just imagine the iPhone 6 or 6S’ Space Grey color, only a lot darker. In the photo above, you can see the iPhone 7 Plus in Black with matte finish (bottom), and the iPhone 7 in Jet Black finish (top). All of these colors will be available in Pakistan!Īlso read: iPhone 7 expected launch date in Pakistan iPhone 7 Black vs. In addition to these four colors, there’s a lovely new color called “Jet Black”. With the iPhone 7, Apple is keeping Gold, Rose Gold, and Silver, while replacing “Space Grey” with Black. With the iPhone 5S, Apple introduced the new “Gold” color, while replacing the darker black of the iPhone 5 with a “Space Grey” color. The iPhone 6S came with an all-new “Rose Gold” color which looked a nice copper-pinkish. With iPhone 7, that’s the new “Black” and “Jet Black”. They also have the potential to steal back the coveted camera crown from Samsung, particularly the dual camera iPhone 7 Plus.Īs such Apple has done the opposite of what its detractors claim: it has eschewed style in favour of substance and, while I wouldn’t expect sales records, it should be enough to keep Apple ticking along nicely for another year.Apple has built a (good) habit of updating or releasing new colors when announcing every other new iPhone. They are more durable than ever before, much faster and have generous storage options. The removal of the headphone jack is also going to polarise users and may lead to some defections to rival brands.Īnd yet Apple has still done a lot of good work with the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus behind the surface. Such is the significance of these upgraded storage options, they may well be enough to persuade buyers unconvinced by omissions such as the headphone jack, fast charging and ageing design to stick with Apple for another generation.Ģ016 will not go down as a standout year in the history of the iPhone and the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus feel more like ‘iPhone 6S 2.0’ and ‘iPhone 6S Plus 2.0’ upgrades. Needless to say that hardcore iPhone fans will grab the 256GB model, but I suspect many buyers of the previous 128GB flagship may now be happy to save $100 and opt for the same storage as a mid tier option.Īs a package, the iPhone 7 (pictured) and iPhone 7 Plus are better value for money thanks to their. In fact the company has double storage capacities at every tier so 16GB, 64GB and 128GB have been replaced with 32GB, 128GB and 256GB.Ĭonsequently while prices are unchanged from last year this look better value for money: Storage And Price - The 16GB Curse Is Liftedįar better news comes with storage and value for money, however, as Apple has at long long last ditched its useless 16GB of base level storage. The omission of both is getting pretty ridiculous at this stage with fast charging having been around for years on rival phones (and resulting is 50% faster charge times) while the latter should really have launched this year so users could still charge the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus while also listening to music. Meanwhile Apple still hasn’t implemented fast charging or wireless charging.

IPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus battery life has improved slightly. Then again they are still notably heavier than 2014’s iPhone 6 (129g) and iPhone 6 Plus (172g). The answer? While the dimensions are identical to the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are both fractionally lighter at 5g (0.17 oz) and 4g (0.14 oz) respectively. Meanwhile the eagled eyed among you will have spotted a small physical change: App developers can also harness the haptic feedback for custom vibrations, which could prove interesting.Īpple has also tidied up the antenna bands, removing them from the back of the phone so they only now appear at the top and bottom edges.

Both the iPhone 7 (pictured) and iPhone 7 Plus are now IP67 water resistant.
