A series of fantastic ideas triggered by the new iPhone

Every time near the iPhone new product launch conference, there are always some media releases of the works of mobile phone concept designers, even claiming that they are the design manuscript of the new generation iPhone. I also found a few chestnuts:

Some use a zero frame full screen fingerprint touch screen, which accounts for 100% of the screen. It is the best choice for color control, until you can't tell which finger is operating the screen.

Others simply designed a 360 ° curved screen, and the koi in the video leaped to the bottom of the screen. Unique shape and sense of heaviness, standing, standing upside down, placed at will.

It even has a flexible screen that can be shrunk and extended, and is proficient in chatting and watching films, becoming a large screen tablet phone that can be put into your pocket in a real sense. It can be called the best in the mobile phone industry.

If the last one is the sea calming needle in mobile phones, it is not too much that this concept mobile phone is regarded as a fighter in mobile phones. The double projection of screen and keyboard is a personal computer that can be put into your pocket.

‍

No matter what kind of concept it is, it represents people's desire for mobile phone appearance optimization, performance improvement and function expansion. What do you think of iPhone? What black technologies do you have?

IPhone 7 or "iPhone 6ss"?

Some people say that the iPhone 7 has not changed much from the previous generation of iPhone, with little improvement, insufficient optimization and lack of innovation. The three prevention function has existed since the era of feature phones. The dual speakers are a tribute to Android phones, and the removal of 3.5mm headphone holes is even more unacceptable. Even said: Seeing that Apple has begun to stack pixels and cores, I finally understand that this wave of mobile phone innovation is really basically over.

The author conducted a small market survey on iPhone 7 users. What do you think is the most attractive thing or advantage of iPhone 7? And what are your most unacceptable or shortcomings?

The findings are as follows:

The most popular feature of Apple's mobile phone is its photo taking effect. The iPhone 7 has added the optical anti shake only available in the original Plus, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of improvement. At present, the screen size of the mobile phone is getting bigger and bigger. The 4.7 inch iPhone 7 can be placed among the new small size phones. Small size has also become the reason why many people like it. After all, the mobile phone is a tool, not a toy, in a large sense. What it brings to users should be convenience, not a burden.

From the bar graph, it is not difficult to find that people like iPhone more because of its powerful chip processing speed and the extraordinary iOS system to bring users a pleasant operation and excellent visual experience. The addition of IP67 waterproof and dust-proof function and the Tapetic Engine pressure feeling Home key also increased the iPhone 7 scores.

What Apple users want to see is a brand new iPhone with disruptive innovation, rather than minor repairs on the original basis. In addition to the performance improvement, the iPhone 7 hardly shows the public a very amazing selling point. However, the criticism that has been talked about all the time still exists. It has not added the dual card dual standby, fast charging function, and the endurance time is still in place. The price is still not user-friendly. IPhone 7 users also cannot enjoy the "freshness" brought by the dual cameras. As for the question of whether it is an iPhone 7 or an "iPhone 6ss", you will find the answer you want when you finish reading this report.

Is it amazing or visual fatigue?

The iPhone is the last one who will not bother with the packaging. The iPhone 7 packaging is simple and classic, and you can get the information of the phone from the packaging.

The color matching of accessories will not be customized with the local version. The black version of the iPhone 7 accessories is still all white. In addition to the power adapter, Lightning data cable, new Earpods headset, card reader, manual and warranty card, the accessories add a Lightning to 3.5mm audio cable.

The iPhone 7 I got is a 32G matte black version, which is called a new color scheme. In my eyes, the black version is more like a tribute to the previous generation, bringing users more classics and feelings. The front of the body still keeps the simple design style of the iPhone 6. The black version has a great advantage, that is, the frame is integrated with the BM area, and the appearance is better.

‍

The rear shell is made of 7075 aluminum alloy treated by sand blasting process, and the oxidation resistant coating is thickened. The texture is delicate and mellow. Compared with the 6s, it is more difficult to slide off. We also found that the iPhone 7 does not use a three segment structure, and the antenna seems to have disappeared. In fact, the new dome shaped U-shaped antenna design allows the antenna to exist at the top and bottom of the back shell. The similar color matching makes people look like the antenna has disappeared.

The exquisite chamfering process enables the 2.5D glass screen and the one-piece metal back shell to have a perfect bending transition and excellent fit.

Whether it's the power button on the right side of the fuselage, or the volume button and mute switch on the left side, they are very solid and do not feel loose. The mute key is set as a physical key, which is also an adult feature of iPhone.

In the past, in the minds of many Chinese people, dual card dual standby mobile phones were once equated with counterfeit mobile phones. But now, they hope that the mobile phones of major international brands can also support dual card and dual standby. Perhaps in the eyes of foreigners, double cards and double stays are meaningless, but for most business people in China, it is too common for one mobile phone card to serve as a business and one mobile phone card to serve as a family.

Has the yellow screen for many years been strengthened?

It is understood that iPhone 7 uses the 4.7 inch IPS-TFT screen provided by JDI/Sharp. The contrast is still 1400:1 as the previous generation iPhone, and the maximum brightness is increased by 25% to 625cd/㎡. Support DCI-P3 color gamut to improve its display color gamut. If Retina HD wide color gamut display technology can also become a highlight of the iPhone 7, the author cannot help but be worried about Apple. After all, this technology is nothing special except that its name sounds like Apple's proprietary black technology. The so-called "Retina HD" refers to a display technology that can compress more pixels into one screen to achieve higher resolution and improve the fineness of screen display. And let's take a look at the display parameters of iPhone 7. The resolution is 1334 * 750326PPI, and most mobile phones on the market can go hand in hand with it, or even surpass it. Moreover, after the PPI reaches 300, it will continue to improve. Although the parameters are more beautiful, they are no longer meaningful to the naked eye.

‍

From the naked eye, the iPhone 7 has improved its screen saturation and contrast compared with the iPhone 6s, but there is no obvious change in definition. In other words, it seems that the color becomes more gorgeous and brilliant. Without direct comparison, the naked eye can hardly perceive the existence of their ascension.

After the release of iPhone 7, users who bought the latest iPhone found that iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus had a yellower yellow screen, and complained that they seriously affected the visual experience in daily use, even affected the mood of users. According to the author's observation, the color temperature of the screen of iPhone 7 is lower than that of iPhone 6s, that is, it is more "yellow". It is understood that the color temperature of iPhone screen will generally vary due to different supply regions and suppliers.

Generally, the white temperature of the cold screen is 9300k, and the white temperature of the warm screen is 6500k. The preference for color temperature is also closely related to the individual's physiological structure and visual habits. The black eyed person sees 9300K as white, but the blue eyed person sees it as blue, the 6500K blue eyed person sees it as white, and the black eyed person sees it as yellow. At the same time, the warm screen can help relieve eye fatigue 。 Of course, if you feel you can't accept this color temperature, you can adjust it through software, or ask after-sales service for help. However, God gave me a pair of black eyes, but I use them to identify the yellow screen.

How strong is the A10 processor? Can it really ring?

The emergence of A10 Fusion quad core 64 bit processing chip means that Apple dual core processor has become the product of history. Similar to SnapDragon 820, Apple A10+M10 coprocessor has two high-performance cores and two energy-efficient cores, which can not only show high performance, but also save energy. The score of Anthare has reached an astonishing 17w. Although the score is only for reference, it is enough to make the iPhone 7 family ascend to the throne of the contemporary machine king in terms of performance and experience.

When playing 4k video, there will be frame dropping that can be detected by the naked eye. In video images with complex colors and textures, frame dropping is more obvious, with different degrees of sawtooth, incomplete details rendering, obvious blurring, and more or less similar moire, and the sound will also appear stuck, delayed, or even stopped. Of course, for mobile phone processors, A10 Fusion chip performs worse than Qualcomm SnapDragon 820 chip in 4K video resolution.

Although the iPhone supports NFC, Bluetooth and other functions, affected by Apple's closed-loop ecosystem, the NFC function of the iPhone is only limited to Apple Pay Yes, and Bluetooth connection can only be connected to Apple devices or devices officially authorized by Apple. There are two sides to everything. Although the security of users' private information has been protected to a great extent, users cannot enjoy many more convenient functions.

The iPhone finally started from 32GB. This time, it skipped the 64GB version and went directly to the 128GB and 256GB versions. But when I think about it, 32GB seems to be insufficient at the moment! In the official quotation information, the price difference between the 32G version and the 128G version of iPhone 7 is 800 RMB. It is understood that the larger version of the iPhone has not only expanded its storage capacity, but also greatly improved its transmission speed. What if I don't think my iPhone has enough capacity? With the help of Apple's USB flash disk, you can store temporarily unused files in the USB flash disk, and then open or move them from the disk when they need to be used. Although it is not convenient, it can solve urgent problems. So how many people want to say: If iPhone supports tf card expansion!

Some users found that the rear camera of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus would make a "Zizi" sound when they were running large 3D games and other heavy loads. We also know that that part is where A10 processor is located. So, what is the situation? The author also made the iPhone 7 run at high load for several times, but after the experiment, it was only obvious that the part was heating up, and the sound of "Zizi" as they said was not heard.

The current room temperature is about 14 ℃. After 10 minutes of high load operation, the shell temperature near the A10 processor location has reached 35 ℃, and the temperature has increased by 20 ℃, which is obviously hot. After about 3 minutes of cooling, the temperature can again approach the room temperature level. It can be seen that the iPhone 7 has good heat dissipation performance.

IOS10 gives iPhone 7 a soul

From the setting of the first boot interface, we can feel the preciseness of the iOS system design team. Although it is tedious, it is full of security. Since the author has been stationed in the Android camp for a long time, my first impression of iOS10 is that it is exquisite and simple, but it is not surprising that in the era of serious homogenization of mobile phones, the convergence of deeply optimized Android system and iOS system in visual performance is no longer surprising.

When I first performed various operations, iOS10 brought me not only surprise, but also unaccustomed. I had to click several times to find a way to return to the previous layer, and I was at a loss because I called up a strange interface. However, in just a week, I was able to use the iOS10 operating system more flexibly. At the same time, the system has always maintained its excellent smoothness and humanized detail design to bring users a lot of convenience. For example, calls between programs are very convenient and fast, and will not be plagued by overwhelming advertising. However, the author found that iOS 10's notification bar messages can only be cleared by operating on the bar. If you enter directly from the main interface, the notification center will display its notifications for a long time, and all kinds of messages are piling up until the user handles them manually.

Although 3D Touch is a black technology of Apple, this pressure sensitive stereo touch technology is cool on the surface, but its application scope is relatively small at present. For users, the 3D Touch function can also be replaced by other more habitual operations, without deliberately learning and forming habits. Of course, this technology may bring more help to users in the near future.

In order to ensure the waterproof function, the iPhone 7 family uses the new Taptic Engine pressure sensitive Home key, which makes the fixed key design key have touch sensitive function, and users can perform different operations by pressing the force. Is it a bit familiar to see here? Do you think I will tell you that the Taptic Engine and 3D Touch are inextricably linked? Of course, this also solves the problem that the physical Home key is damaged by multiple presses from the root.

The author also experienced it personally. Although the Home key of iPhone 7 does not have the obvious offset of the physical keys, it still has a sense of realism with specific vibration feedback. Especially when holding the mobile phone, the vibration feeling is very magical, which is enough to make the author shout "I can't stop at all". Although the unlocking speed is not the fastest, it can reach the normal human reaction speed, and the operation is smooth and coherent.

With waterproof function, you can wave?

IPhone finally supports waterproof! The interpretation of IP67 under the IEC 60529 standard is that the dust is trapped (the dust cannot enter the whole diameter of the object and cannot exceed the gap of the shell); Prevent short-term immersion (under normal temperature and pressure, when the shell is temporarily immersed in 1M deep water, it will not cause harmful effects). This made many friends happy. After all, many users had the experience that their beloved iPhone was flooded due to carelessness, which made it impossible to continue using it. When you think you can take your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus to surf, swim, take a bath and give it a warm water SPA, I can only say that you are happy too early:

According to the latest warranty service terms issued by Apple, the damage caused by liquid contact is not covered by the warranty. In other words, once the mobile phone enters the water, Apple has the right not to provide warranty service, and users can only consider themselves unlucky. The author also found that under extremely humid conditions, the fingerprint recognition function and touch screen function of iPhone 7 may be insensitive or even have irregular errors. After all, waterproof is not a permanent attribute, and it will decrease with the increase of use time. The original design of any waterproof mobile phone is "just in case", so that the mobile phone will not be damaged if it falls into the water accidentally. In short, it is waterproof but not cheap!

A camera full of expectations, showing your true self

For the first time, Apple lowered the optical anti shake to a non Plus model, and the aperture of the main lens was also increased from f/2.2 to f/1.8, and the CMOS was expanded to 1/2.6 inch, LED True Tone flash has been increased to 4. Unfortunately The camera is still prominent. With so many iPhone 7 cameras improved, will photography really make a big difference? Let's continue.

[Portrait Photography]

Before the author bought a professional camera, the admiration and expectation for the iPhone was not from its brand price and appearance, but from its camera. I often see some videos and articles sharing about "iPhone can produce blockbusters without professional lighting and professional models" on the Internet. I am in a wait-and-see state. Who told me that I don't have more powerful photosensitive devices without iPhone? Even when I saw high-quality self portraits sent by others on ktv in the middle of the night in my circle of friends, I would sigh that I didn't have good photos just because I didn't have an iPhone.

Since the arrival of the iPhone 7, women have been constantly patting and asking me to patting and patting. However, although the front camera pixel of the iPhone 7 has been upgraded to 7MP and supports automatic anti shake, body and face recognition, it does not have a powerful self timer function and does not support beauty as the biggest complaint point for women.

After taking a self portrait with iPhone 7, the female ticket sent out a sigh of "I was the one who passed through beauty in my eyes, and I am the one who was taken by iPhone 7 in your eyes".

Even so, the author risked his life to paste the "no thin face, no skin abrasion, no whitening" selfie of the female ticket, and enlarged her face six times. For this reason, I am ready to kneel on the keyboard, just to let you see the most authentic tea, ha ha ha ha.

The first selfie was taken in the evening when only the yellow light of the coffee shop was the main light source; The second selfie was taken in the afternoon with the yellow light of the coffee shop and the natural light outside the window as the main light source. It can be seen from the sample and the details of partial magnification that the 700w front camera has a relatively excellent imaging effect, and the color reproduction is also relatively high. The local magnification is six times clear, and there is no noise or ambiguity. However, the photos taken in weak light are a little less beautiful, and the color of clothes has begun to darken.

What about the portrait taking effect of the rear camera of iPhone 7?

The image quality of Baitianxia iPhone 7 is very delicate, the color is restored more realistically, and the exposure is larger than most Android phones, but the details remain very good. The lines of the tiles of the two samples are still very clear after being magnified 6 times. However, such delicacy will also lead to very clear facial details. So if you are a young person who is still in adolescence and has acne, I suggest you use your next beauty camera. After all, you want iPhone 7 to show a real and beautiful self, don't you think?

Although the image quality of the photos taken under the conditions of weak light and unnatural light is not as exquisite as that taken under the white sky, there will be no obvious noise in the hair and sweater. The following is the big viewing time processed by the Snapped mobile phone software.

Although I don't have a flash and reflector, I have an iPhone 7 and a good girlfriend. How do you think the effect is?

[Scenery shooting part]

Sample 1 of iPhone 6s and iPhone 7

Sample 2 of iPhone 6s and iPhone 7

From the comparison of iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 photos, it can be seen that iPhone 7's color restoration is more realistic than 6s, but the brightness and brightness are a little lacking.

The excellent imaging and the built-in filter decoration well cover up the problem of insufficient brightness. When you see this picture, you will think it is from the mobile phone?

The details and tolerance of taking photos in backlight are good. As long as you wait a little later, it is easy to have the effect of movie blockbusters.

The excellent imaging effect of the iPhone 7 is especially reflected in the panoramic shooting mode. The panoramic mode of the original camera of the phone has always been a chicken bone for the author, but from the sample of the iPhone 7 and the details of local magnification, we can see that both the details and brightness are excellent, and even if it is magnified by 6 times, no obvious noise will appear, It can fully achieve the imaging effect of ordinary shooting mode.

In general, although the functions of the camera provided by iPhone 7 are relatively simple, the imaging effect is really excellent. It has accurate and delicate performance in terms of white balance, details, tolerance, etc., and can withstand the test of backlight, weak light, panoramic and other conditions and modes.

Three dimensional shock, surrounding and touching the soul

At the launch of the new iPhone product, we learned that the 3.5mm headphone interface was canceled for iPhone 7, and the new Apple wireless Bluetooth headset Airpods was released. It is estimated that many people will agree with the author that the standard headset of the iPhone 7 family is the Airpods Bluetooth wireless headset. It was only later that I discovered that the standard headset of iPhone 7 was Earpods wired headset with Lightning interface. Unfortunately, it seems that the era of picking up earphones in subway stations has not come yet.

The unique Earpods integrate the advantages of flat head and earphones, fit the ear canal, not easy to fall off, and do not cause pressure on it. It is ergonomic and comfortable to wear. The remote control can control answering the phone, adjusting the volume and taking pictures.

It is reported that Earpods uses the classic wool fiber bowl diaphragm unit, which is said to be very good for soft music, and the voice is honest and natural. The disadvantage is that the bass effect is not good, and the expressiveness of rock music and march is not satisfactory.

According to the author's subjective test, Earpods showed a shocking effect in terms of low frequency. The volume of bass is sufficient, and there is also a certain amount of diving, but it is turbid and lacks clarity. The mid-range voice is not thick and plump enough, it seems a little thin, the dental sound is obvious, and the voice is slightly cold. The reverberation is moderate, and the vocal distance is moderate. High frequency performance is good. High frequency instrumental performance is mellow, overly smooth, not abrupt or obvious burr. Tri band has good balance, wide range, little distortion and almost no bottom noise. It shows good separation of live music, allows users to perceive the direction and level of sound, and has excellent detail performance and sound image. In contrast, Earpods performs better in pop music and pure music.

‍ In addition, the iPhone 7 uses the earpiece as a secondary speaker, and playing music outside can also enable users to enjoy the stereo effect, but this effect is minimal in general environments. According to the sound pressure level synthesis formula LP=10lg ^ n+20lg (Pe/Po) (dB), compared with the original single speaker, the sound pressure level increases by about 3dB, which sounds more loud, but also consumes more power. Many people believe that dual speakers and dual cameras have long existed in Android phones, and Apple has lost its edge. But I want to say that although it is a little late, this is Apple's way of optimizing and changing for users.

Samsung Note 7 explodes, and Apple slowly fills in security? ‍

Not long ago, many times around the world Samsung Note 7 mobile phone The authorities had to recall the case of explosion. From release to production suspension, Samsung Note 7 only survived for 47 days. In this 47 day period, which is known as the most difficult for Samsung Group this year, Samsung Electronics recorded its biggest decline in four years, and even lost about $22.8 billion of its market value in two trading days. There are also various rumors about the explosion of the iPhone 7 family on the Internet. Even "Apple Black" said that Samsung's explosion function was copied by Apple. "iPhone 7 explosion" once became a hot word on microblog, and mobile phone security issues were widely concerned. Of course, in addition to the internal causes of mobile phones, the explosion of electronic products is also more or less related to external causes, such as physical collision, extrusion and other external factors, as well as the improper use of electricity by users!

Since I got the Hong Kong version of iPhone 7, its power adapter is a European standard three-phase plug design. Compared with the national version of the two-phase plug design, a new pin is added as grounding protection.

The theoretical output electrical parameters of the power adapter are 5V-1A. According to the author's test, during the normal charging process, the difference between the output voltage and current and the rated voltage and current is small. The voltage fluctuation is only 0-2%, while the current fluctuation is 0-3%. When the power is near saturation, the output current will gradually decrease until the zero current output at 100%.

The following is the iPhone 7 charging curve:

It takes about 2 hours to charge from 10% to full charge. In the current mobile phone market, the iPhone 7, which does not support the fast charging function, is at a disadvantage in this respect. Even many domestic mobile phone manufacturers cannot match it. For example, the VOOC flash charge of Green Factory and the dual engine flash charge of Blue Factory can significantly improve the charging speed. Therefore, "tortoise speed charging" has become a big regret for the iPhone 7. But for some girls, Mobile phone, how can it be charged too fast? After brain repair and fast charging, he said, "Oh, this mobile phone is fast charging. Will it explode? It's terrible. People don't want to use this mobile phone." It seemed to pass.

Although the battery capacity of the iPhone 7 is only 1960mAh, compared with the 1715mAh of the previous generation, it has little increase, but other brands of mobile phones are equipped with large capacity batteries of more than 3000mAh. However, in actual use, the level of endurance showed me more surprises. The power consumption of overnight standby is about 6%, and the power consumption of playing large-scale games for an hour continuously is about 15%. Although we can't get rid of the fate of charging every day, the battery life is better than many high-capacity battery phones.

The iPhone is as expensive as the kidney ‍

Every year, we hear some teasing words, such and such people squeeze their wallets, cut their hands and sell their kidneys in order to buy new iPhones, and finally can use the iPhone 5 of the wife's sister, the husband's son, and the sister's son to send a microblog in order to display "from the iPhone client", It seems that the launch of the new iPhone is equivalent to a financial crisis. Until I saw such a revelation:

According to users of Tianya Forum, a girl in a company actually made 20 boyfriends at the same time! This is not the most powerful. The most powerful thing is that the girl asked every boyfriend to buy her iPhone 7 when Apple released the iPhone 7 some time ago. Before the National Day, she sold all the iPhone 7 through a recycling platform for more than 100000 yuan. Then she used this money to buy a house in her hometown and pay the down payment.

I just found out now that the iPhone 7 can still play like this. Sure enough, the urban routine is deep, and I want to go back to the countryside! Girls who want to become rich should pay attention to finding more boyfriends, and then wait for the release of the next generation iPhone!

Or, find the right owner:

In the face of the wave after wave of iPhone 7 shows on the Internet, Wang Keke, the winner of a generation of dog students, was the first to refuse to accept, and showed eight new iPhones on the dog microblog. Netizens lamented that another series of people are inferior to dogs. The author also said that he was hurt.

The iPhone is like a mirror, reflecting not the user's face, but the current social situation. Some people work hard for a whole year to buy a new iPhone for themselves or their loved ones with the money saved. Is it really five times easier to use a mobile phone that costs more than 5000 yuan than a mobile phone that costs 1000 yuan? Is it really five times more powerful? Many people may only use iPhone to make calls and send WeChat messages, but why? I think it's just that vanity and sense of superiority that are playing tricks.

So here comes the question: if you choose 20 new iPhones and the first installment of a house, what choice will you make?

I can't put it down

After the death of Sect Leader Qiao, people once thought that the era of Apple was coming to an end, and Apple's new products were no longer appreciated by the world. But for now, although in the eyes of others, the design and research and development of the iPhone has reached a bottleneck, and the pace of progress has slowed down significantly, even to the point of "copying" the functions of other brands of mobile phones. But there is no doubt that its sales volume in the world is still in the forefront, and the praise is still surging. Although the footsteps of the latecomers are getting closer, the iPhone 7 family is still recognized as the most experienced mobile phone in the current mobile phone market.

IPhone always has a kind of magic, a kind of magic that people can't put down. Not only because of its excellent appearance and powerful performance. What's more, it has iOS system full of humanized design and excellent online services, which brings many conveniences to users' life, study and work. When you really admire it, you will learn to cherish it because of it. The real intelligent era is not about how complex and difficult products can help people do; But because of its appearance, people's lives will become slightly different, and can communicate with users, bringing positive effects to users. Perhaps in the near future, the first smart phone with a "soul" will be seen in the world. I wonder if there will be an "apple bitten" on it?
