Apple finally launched a press conference in the early morning of September 8 iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus This new machine has greatly improved both in appearance and in essence. Let's take a look at it:
Appearance design
The appearance design of the iPhone 7 series basically keeps the style of the previous generation, the body size is basically the same as that of the previous generation, and the weight is slightly lighter. IPhone 7 Weight 138 g (143g for iPhone 6s), iPhone 7 Plus weight 188g (192g for iPhone 6s Plus). Although the outline of the whole machine remains unchanged, the iPhone 7 still feels relatively new due to the difference in antenna partition strips and cameras.
The legendary blue didn't appear, but the iPhone 7 still brought us two new colors: bright black (only 128G and 256G) and black. The remaining silver, gold and rose gold are "old friends".
Among them, bright black is undoubtedly the most concerned. It makes the metal have a lustrous effect similar to glass through anodic oxidation+polishing process.
However, the official website also issued an "exemption reminder" to remind users that the high gloss surface may be prone to slight wear. It is recommended that users choose a protective case to protect the iPhone.
The camera specification has been improved and still has protrusions. However, because the transition from the lens to the body is more natural, it seems that the appearance is slightly higher.
The design of the antenna partition bar is more concise, and this shape also reminds people of Meizu Pro 6.
In addition, due to the complete disappearance of 3.5mm, the bottom of the iPhone 7 has become two rows of symmetrical openings, but the microphone is still on the left and the speaker is on the right.
Because the 3.5mm interface disappears, Apple also provides the Lightning version of EarPods in the package, and also provides a Lightning to 3.5mm jack converter. In addition, the highlight of this picture is the "10000 year" 5W power adapter.
In addition, there is a wireless version AirPods , but its shape looks slightly strange for a Bluetooth headset.
The iPhone 7 also adds a rare stereo speaker system. It uses the earpiece to realize the function of another speaker, which can achieve stereo effect in horizontal screen.
Although the iPhone 7 series has not changed much in appearance, it has added IP67 The standard of waterproof and dust-proof should have no pressure on ordinary daily waterproof. However, Apple also released a "disclaimer" on its official website - damage caused by immersion in liquid is not covered by the warranty.
Another thing that has a direct impact on the use experience is that the entity Home key has become touch sensitive, instead of a physical key that can be pressed, it uses the new Taptic Engine This new engine also supports 3D Touch function.
Performance improvement
The iPhone 7/7 Plus has many highlights in terms of performance, both in terms of performance and functionality.
In terms of the screen, although the size and resolution remain the same, the iPhone introduced P3 standard (wider than sRGB), and the screen brightness is higher, reaching 625cd/㎡ 。
Every generation of iPhone will bring Apple's latest generation of mobile processors, and this time is no exception A10 Fusion The chip arrived as promised. It is not difficult to see from the naming that this time's processor is different from the previous one. A10 Fusion is Apple's first quad core processor. Its architecture is a bit like the well-known Snapdragon 820, which uses a 2+2 structure with two ultra-low power "small cores". Compared with A9, the speed of "Big Core" has been improved 40% , such single core performance is absolutely invincible in mobile phones, even the iPad Pro is ashamed.
Apple has never let us down on GPU, and A10 Fusion is no exception. The GPU of A10 Fusion is higher than that of A9 50% This performance is slightly better than the low-frequency version A9X of iPad Pro 9.7, but there is still a huge gap compared with iPad Pro 12.9. The iPhone 7 has a stronger processor, and its endurance is also improved compared with the previous generation. The endurance of the iPhone 7 is improved compared with the iPhone 6s 2 hours ， IPhone 7 Plus is better than iPhone 6s Plus 1 hour 。
The rear camera has also changed a lot. The iPhone 7 uses a new 12 million pixel sensor, and has added the long-awaited OIS optical anti shake. The aperture has also been upgraded to F/1.8, the lens has also been upgraded to 6P, and the four LED True Tone flash has been added. From the book, it has significantly improved compared with the previous generation of products.
The iPhone 7 Plus also uses dual 12 megapixel cameras, which are wide-angle and telephoto cameras. The wide-angle lens is F/1.8 like the iPhone 7, while the telephoto lens is F/2.8. With the telephoto lens, the iPhone 7 Plus can achieve 2x optical zoom and up to 10x code zoom. We have seen a lot of dual cameras on Android phones. The iPhone 7 Plus solution is closer to LG's G5 and V20. It is not technically innovative, but I believe you are still looking forward to its imaging effect.
The front camera has also been upgraded to 7 million pixels, F/2.2 aperture. Apple is so aggressive in front, which is unexpected.
The iPhone 7 has finally joined the LTE Cat. 9 network support. The downlink can reach up to 450Mbps, and can support up to 25 bands.
Capacity and price
The storage capacity of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus has doubled, which is believed to be a great good news for many Apple fans. The 16G iPhone has finally said goodbye to us. This time, there are three capacities: 32G, 128G and 256G. The 32G version of the iPhone 6s has also been added and the 64G version has been removed.
IPhone 7's 32G/128G/256G The prices are 5388 yuan, 6188 yuan and 6988 yuan . iPhone 7 Plus 32G/128G/256G The prices are 6388 yuan, 7188 yuan and 7988 yuan In the same way, the "gear" is slightly higher than the previous consignment price, but I believe everyone can accept it. The iPhone 7 series will be pre ordered at 3:00 p.m. on September 9, and will be officially launched on September 16.
From this upgrade of iPhone 7, Apple is still full of sincerity, but there is still no improvement in the screen proportion, screen frame, and weight of the whole machine, which is a little disappointing. For more information about iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, we will give you a more in-depth introduction in the subsequent evaluation.
At the end of the article, a spoof is presented to summarize the "selling points" of iPhone 7/7 Plus.
