Apple recently introduced the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in an event in San Francisco, which was live streamed across the world. The new iPhone 7 features an overhauled camera system, stereo speakers, wider colour system and is the first water- and dust-resistant iPhone.
The 12MP camera includes optical-image stabilisation on both devices. The larger f/1.8 aperture with the 6-element lens enables brighter photos and videos, while the wider colour capture allows for more detailed colour reproduction. The iPhone 7 Plus adds a 12MP telephoto camera, that working together, offers optical zoom at two times and up to 10 times digital zoom for photos. By the end of the year, a software update will enable a new depth-of-field effect using both cameras with machine-learning technology separating the background from the foreground to achieve portraits comparable to DSLR cameras.
The new CPU has been designed to be more powerful, while being more power-efficient, than its predecessor. Out of the four 4 cores, two high-performance cores run two times faster than iPhone 6 and two high-efficiency cores are capable of running at just 1/5th the power of the other two. Graphics performance has also received an upgrade, running up to three times faster than iPhone 6 using just half the power. The new stereo speakers are two times louder than the iPhone 6s by offering increased dynamic range of sound and improved speakerphone quality. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack adapter for using regular headphones and accessories.
The Retina HD display has also been improved to display a wider colour gamut for cinema-standard shades and better saturation. The solid-state Home button has been designed to be durable and more responsive, working in tandem with the new Taptic Engine to provide precise and customisable tactile feedback.
Both phones include support for up to 25 LTE bands and LTE Advanced provides three times faster data rates than iPhone 6 at upto 450 Mbps. The pricing starts from Rs 60,000 with the new devices going on sale from 7 October in India.
