About this evaluation:

Every once in a while, there will be a revolutionary product that will change everything. This is the best interpretation of the iPhone!

I remember when Sect Leader Qiao refused market research, he once said:“ Users don't know what they want until you put the product in front of them ”。 I didn't realize this until I entered the first iPhone in my life, because when I got the iPhone, I thought "that's it"!

Since the launch of the iPhone 7 series, there have been a lot of open box evaluations on the Internet. No matter what you hear, what you actually use, or what you glance at online, I believe you are familiar with this phone. Therefore, here is mainly to talk about my feelings for Apple and its use!

In order to meet the needs of this evaluation, all photos and videos in this article were taken by iPhone 7 plus!

Today's mobile phones are beginning to develop in the direction of various configurations, and there are no breakthrough highlights. This also makes us remember the inspiring era of the iPhone 3 and iPhone 4. The iPhone at that time not only created the beginning of smart phones, but also became the vane of other mobile phones with every update and appearance change!

The author himself is the first iPhone he started in 2012, which is also a classic iPhone 4S. It has been five years since the mobile phone was changed again and again, but it has never left the circle of Apple!

1、 Appreciation: The iPhone with the smallest appearance change in history

For Apple fans, the iPhone series adopts a new appearance design every two years, which has become an inherent mode of thinking. For the appearance of today's iPhone 7 plus, these changes not only can't hit the pain points of users, but also can't even touch the itch points! And like some particularly revolutionary changes, other mobile phones have also taken the lead, such as dual cameras, and the super large screen of the Xiaomi MIX. These have been preconceived appearance design, which can not let us rekindle our passion for the appearance of the iPhone 7!

The classic package design of the iPhone still makes opening the package a very "cool" thing. From the beginning, the plastic film is torn open until the phone and all accessories are taken out, the whole process is very smooth, and you can fully feel Apple's kindness! There are already too many videos and evaluation articles on the Internet for unpacking, and I don't want to spend too much time on them here. (However, there will still be a video of unpacking at the back to intuitively feel it!)

As everyone who has used the iPhone knows, Apple has insisted on the standard accessory settings of adapter+charging cable+headset for many years.

The iPhone 7 plus in this evaluation is the silver version of the five colors released on the official website, which is basically the same color as the silver version of the previous 6s, and this unchanging style is also inseparable from the strategy of the Cook era. When it is difficult to seek a breakthrough in industrial design, only by adding color matching and upgrading hardware to update.

At the same time, the new iPhone 7 plus has been equipped with the IOS 10 system. In terms of the system interface, the changes are not particularly obvious. In addition to the built-in applications that can support deletion, more practical functions have been added to camera, clock, map and other applications. In addition, the latest update has also added TV applications, which unfortunately cannot be used in China!

The most easy to use is the function of "raising the screen to light up", which makes it very convenient for us to just pick up the phone and watch for a while, and also reduces the number of times we press the power key. You should know that these physical keys are really easy to break!

Next, let's take a look at the obvious small changes and details of the iPhone 7 plus:

The most obvious change is that the iPhone 7 plus uses dual rear cameras: a 56mm telephoto lens and a 28mm wide-angle lens, each with 12 million pixels. It can be used to realize the 2X optical zoom and the shooting effect of depth of field. The functional experience of dual cameras will be described in detail in the second chapter!

Another very obvious change - the 3.5mm headphone connector has been eliminated. Apple's earphones use the interface settings of Lightning, that is, they share the same interface with the charging port, so the iPhone has a symmetrical design in the overall appearance. At the same time, accessories are equipped with earphone adapter cables, so ordinary earphones can also be used on this iPhone.

The third biggest change is to use the non pressing fingerprint identification home key instead. Through the touch feedback engine, the non pressed home key can have a physical touch when used. Although it will be a little uncomfortable at the beginning, it fundamentally solves the problem that the home key is easy to be damaged, and it also sets off an upsurge of discussion on the Internet about canceling the home key on iPhone 8! Personally, the way the home key on the Internet is integrated into the screen is really beautiful!

Another small change in appearance that does not affect the use experience is the removal of the commonly known "white belt", that is, a horizontal white antenna belt used on the iPhone 6s!

No changes have been made to the parts of the earpiece and front camera. The overall curved appearance is just like its previous design! Personally, I like the title of this book very much: Some things are not done now, and I will never have the chance to do them in my life. Yes, hurry up and do what you want to do. Don't let life leave too many regrets!

Here, the unpacking video mentioned earlier may not be well produced, but it is quite comprehensive:

2、 Dual photography: new photography experience brought by telephoto+wide-angle

Each mobile phone with dual cameras has different functions. In addition to the basic improvement of pixels and more sufficient light input, the dual camera of the iPhone 7 plus also has the function of double optical zoom and shadow depth of field effect shooting. Of course, these are just the two camera functions that Apple has expanded. There are still many possibilities to look forward to in terms of how the dual cameras of the iPhone can play!

Next, let's take a look at the two most distinctive camera functions through live shooting:

Depth of field shooting is a function often used in SLR cameras. The photos taken show the effect of blurred background and clear and sharp foreground. Unlike ordinary optical depth of field, Apple uses a second camera to distinguish between foreground and background through certain algorithm analysis.

At present, the depth of field effect of the iPhone 7 plus has great limitations. According to the camera system, it is necessary to ensure that the shooting object is within 2.5 meters, and the light is sufficient. The main recognition is also the portrait. Therefore, when shooting some scenes, if the depth of field effect is not obvious, it is probably not the problem of our shooting method, but its own algorithm. It is estimated that Apple will update the depth of field effect later to improve it.

Apple's dual cameras are equipped with a 56mm telephoto lens, which doubles the magnification of the 28mm wide-angle lens. It is this camera that enables the iPhone 7 plus to achieve twice the optical zoom. In fact, this zoom mode is also very simple, that is, switching from wide-angle lens to telephoto lens. However, for those who like to shoot close, this function is very practical. After all, the 2X optical zoom image quality is lossless!

At the same time, the digital zoom has also been improved from the original 5X to 10X. However, after 10X zoom, there are too many noise points, and you can hardly see the details. In terms of use, it is not very useful!

This kind of depth of field effect is completely dependent on its internal algorithm, and it is impossible to achieve the same effect. Some may even not achieve the depth of field effect because of focusing or light problems!

The 2X optical zoom can also be used in the process of video shooting. The video screen captured from the above clearly shows the process of lens switching. The whole switching is smooth, and there is no need to refocus.

So much for the explanation of these two featured photo functions (should I be clear?), let's take a look at a group of beautiful photos taken with this iPhone 7 plus (the photos were taken by the author after he grabbed the first batch of iPhone 7 plus and went out to play). I feel that only good composition and later work are needed, and the iPhone can completely replace the SLR:

For photography, personal experience is that composition is the most important. No matter you use tens of thousands of yuan of SLR, or hundreds of yuan of domestic mobile phones, if you don't know the composition of pictures, you can't get a big picture! With a good composition and a little color adjustment in the later stage, a good photo is basically OK!

Here's a simple chat with you with this photo. When taking photos with iPhone, we suggest you turn on the display grid line (settings - photos and cameras - grid line).

The first type: gridlines are actually very convenient composition tools. In addition to helping to shoot the scenery horizontally and vertically, the four intersections are just the best places to place the scenery, because they are just at 2/3 of the picture, which is known as the "golden section point"!

This is basically the principle of composition. In principle, it is to build a grand scene!

The second type: the symmetrical composition of the middle line is also a very common typical composition method, which can have a more profound sense of the scene!

For example, sunrise on the sea, Suzhou style town, yoga walkers in the Tianbian swimming pool all adopt the typical symmetrical composition of the middle line, and use some simple color mixing and filter processing!

The third type: incomplete composition. It is very similar to the previous appearance appreciation photos, and deliberately cuts part of the object to achieve the composition effect. In fact, many compositions have no fixed principles. Often, we imitate the compositions in movies and wallpaper, such as the fantastic drifting and beach coconut trees.

So much for composition. If you are interested in composition, you can download an InterPhoto application that contains many grid lines for composition.

Since dual cameras are used, we have to mention its night shooting function, because dual cameras can bring more exposure, so that we can shoot more clearly in the dark at night!

Of course, if you are keen on close-up shooting and are interested in the depth of field function of this kind of SLR effect, the dual camera of iPhone 7 Plus is very worth experiencing and can also bring very high-quality photos. In addition, from the update of camera functions in IOS, we can also see that Apple will strive to explore new functions of dual cameras. Therefore, it seems that the expensive dual cameras will shine in the future!

3、 Q&A: How to view this iPhone in pursuit of hardware configuration

As we all know, the iPhone will bring great improvement in hardware every year, which will not only become the vane of attention of many other brands of mobile phones, but also quickly set off a score performance test. In today's era when the appearance difference is getting smaller and smaller, and mobile phones are assembled, the improvement of these hardware has become the focus of users' attention!

When it comes to configuration, it is nothing more than the processor, screen, battery, camera, memory, etc. The dual camera of the iPhone 7 plus has just been introduced. Let's take a look at other configurations:

Question 1: The memory configuration of the iPhone 7 series has been readjusted to three versions: 32G, 128G and 256G. How to choose?

Fang La answered: The original 16G version of the iPhone 7 has been canceled directly, which is actually a very wise choice. Now the 16G mobile phone is really not enough. In addition, the LIVE PHOTO function has been added to the iPhone 6s as early as. Taking a LIVE photo is equivalent to a photo+a three second video. From this perspective, I think 32G is not enough! Therefore, consider starting from 128G, and upgrading 32G to 128G and 128G to 256G is an additional 800 yuan. I suggest 256G is more cost-effective!

Question 2: Is there any change in the display of the iPhone 7 plus or the Retina HD screen before it?

Fang La answered: According to the official explanation, the iPhone 7 series is still a Retina HD display screen, but it supports wide color gamut display, and the maximum brightness has also been improved a bit. However, from the comparison with 6s, we can hardly see the difference between the display screen and 6s.

Question 3: Has the processor of the iPhone 7 plus been upgraded? Is it much faster with the IOS 10 system than with the 6s?

Fang La answered: The processor of the iPhone 7 series has been upgraded from A9 to the world's most powerful A10 processor, which is 40% higher than the performance of A9! In addition, from the test comparison of various scoring software, the single core performance of A10 processor has been the best of other processors such as Snapdragon and Kirin, and the multi-core performance is no less than those of the so-called eight core and ten core. In all tests, only a few items are not in the leading position, so A10 is the absolute king of processors! As for how much faster than 6s in use, it is not particularly obvious, but there is no problem playing a few G stand-alone games!

Question 4: The iPhone 7 plus is waterproof. Is it possible to play happily underwater?

Fang La answered: No! The iPhone 7 has achieved IP67 waterproof for the first time, which is one level lower than the highest level IP68 waterproof. In addition, the waterproof of the iPhone is defensive waterproof, and it cannot be immersed in water for a long time. In a word, no zuo no die!

Question 5: Are there any changes in size, size and weight?

Fang La answered: The size has not changed, the weight is a little lighter, but it is so light that you can't feel it, which is equivalent to no change!

Question 6: Has the battery capacity and battery life improved significantly?

Fang La answered: Compared with 6s plus, the battery capacity of the iPhone 7 plus has increased from 2750mAh to 2900mAh. In principle, the endurance will be better. However, the endurance still depends on how to use it. If you keep watching videos, no matter how tough the battery is, it will soon run out of power! From the perspective of personal usage, the iPhone 7 Plus is used normally every day, and only needs to be recharged at night. The mobile power supply at hand is basically eliminated, and the daytime standby is still very durable!

Question 7: Have the cameras of the iPhone 7 plus been improved?

Fang La answered: I have already introduced its rear dual camera, which has really improved a lot. The pixel of the front camera has increased from 5 million to 7 million. Although the self portrait effect will be better, it is inferior to those domestic mobile phones that mainly feature the self portrait function!

Question 8: Will the iPhone 7 series feel bad when it uses the non mechanical home button?

Fang La answered: At the beginning, I will definitely not adapt. With the new unlocking function of IOS 10, I often just want to see the time, but the screen is unlocked. However, after a period of adaptation, it is OK, and the touch feedback feel can almost be fake, and there is no need to worry about pressing the home button, which is a very practical change!

Question 9: In addition to these changes, what are the differences between hardware and configuration?

Fang La answered: There are still some changes in the official website introduction, but they are almost imperceptible. It doesn't matter!

Question 10: I don't understand what you are talking about. Simply give me three reasons why I want to buy iPhone 7 plus!

Fang La answered: Good (ABCD) Dual cameras+IOS system+You have money ！

4、 Feelings: The real charm of Apple

I also rummaged through the boxes and found the iPhone 4s phone of that year, which is also the first Apple phone in my life. Now, five years have passed, and Apple has also experienced many upgrades and changes. However, I still remember the excitement when I first got the iPhone. Although I have changed N models of mobile phones during this period, no mobile phone can surpass the original mood. Maybe this is Apple's charm!

Every once in a while, there will be a revolutionary product that will change everything In the field of mobile phones, this revolutionary product is the iPhone!

Since the first iPhone came out, the concept of smart phone has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the speed of development is really amazing! Most of the time, we use the iPhone not only because it is easy to use, but also because it is completely inseparable from our life!

The most unique charm of Apple lies in its minimalist design, which is so simple that it doesn't need any instructions. Even a child of two or three years old can know how to use it immediately without any learning!

Just as Sect Leader Qiao said in those days, "To judge a product, just give it to a child, and in two minutes, we will know whether it is successful or not." . For the iPhone, this is also the place I most agree with and feel the deepest!

The author gave this iPhone 7 plus phone to a little baby who was more than one year old at home. He immediately knew to slide left and right, and open applications. All this was due to the touch screen technology introduced by the iPhone that year, which not only made the operation easier, but also made the operation a kind of enjoyment and fun!

From switching applications to opening the videos in the album, the whole process is completed in one go, and the operation is even as smooth as that of adults. It is hard to imagine that this is just what a baby over one year old can do.

The baby even fell in love with taking a selfie with an iPhone, and with all kinds of funny expressions, just like a little self timer!

When it comes to the charm of Apple, in addition to this amazing simple operation and the operation process full of enjoyment and fun, it also includes a kind of passion for fruit fans!

If you ask me, what are the highlights of the iPhone 7 plus compared with the 6s plus? Apart from the dual cameras and the physical home button, I really can't find any special changes in these two models! What are the highlights of the iPhone 7 plus compared with non Apple phones? That's really an endless feature highlight. In a word, Apple is Apple, and you will know when you use it!

This can also be seen from my friends around me. So far, none of my friends have turned back from Android to Apple. Maybe this is Apple's irresistible charm, Once you enter the fruit pit, it is as deep as the sea. If you want to refuse, you should not extricate yourself ！

5、 Foreign article: How to really use your iPhone 7 plus

Apple didn't invent any new technology, but it did use the new technology best, like the multi touch screen on the iPhone and the first introduction of the concept of application, which completely changed the entire mobile phone market! To make good use of the iPhone, APP is a very important part. Here's my personal APP experience:

For the iPhone 7 plus with dual cameras, if you don't make good use of its photo function, it will be too wasteful! The photo software in personal mobile phones can be divided into three categories: pre photo, post processing and learning photo communities.

The reason for using the pre photography software is that the camera software provided with the iPhone is too simple and intelligent, many parameters cannot be adjusted manually, and there are few filters. Like the camera+, it has a high popularity, and its focus separation, ISO parameter adjustment, real-time filter and other functions and operations are complete, which can really start to study a software for mobile photography; Like the other three models, they have different focuses. Rookie cam focuses on real-time filters, Horizon is a horizontal camera, and InterPhoto is a camera software that can assist in composition. They are very practical!

Post photo editing is also a very important part. Instagram, VSCO and Snapsed are powerful and well-known image editing software. In addition, over, butter camera, Foodie, a professional food photographer, and lightroom, a professional photo editing software produced by Photoshop, are commonly used by individuals. In the iPhone camera, there is a very interesting function to take LIVE photos, so it is very necessary to edit and export LIVE photos. Among many such apps, LivePix is the best one with the most comprehensive functions!

In addition to personal photography, we also need to see the works of some great gods to exchange and learn. There are many such software, and I recommend several high-quality sharing platforms, such as daily eye opening, footnotes and 500px!

Here is also a photo of food beautified by Foodie, which is one click beautified and specially designed for food. It is very suitable for people who like to take pictures of food!

In addition to basic photography, I also like some very interesting photo and video production software, such as three small software produced by Instagram: Hyperlapse、Boomerang、Layout， It is very interesting to be able to shoot time-lapse photography, short cycle videos, etc; At present, the two software commonly used by individuals are ReverseVid and Color Accent, which can produce small videos played in reverse order and black-and-white photos highlighted in some colors.

In normal video production, iMovie is quite good. The templates in iMovie are really catching up with movie blockbusters. Some artists can also use stop motion animation and Vimo software, which can add animation expressions to videos. It's fun!

This is a small video produced by a person using ReverseVid in reverse order. If you open your head, this software will be amazing!

For the small video produced by VUE, you only need to select the video that has already been shot, and then apply the template. It is simple and practical!

For those who like reading and learning, these software are worth trying. Many of the good APPs in the APP store are charged. If you want to keep track of the restriction and exemption information of the software, Xianyou App+AppSo is enough; If you want to see a very avant-garde next-generation technology product, the touch power is quite good, and a few minutes of video introduction is simple and easy without wasting time; Magazines that like literary and artistic styles are definitely worth a try; Everyone knows the name of TED. This Chinese version of TED is also worth pursuing!

In terms of reading, individuals have always been reluctant to read on mobile phones, so there is basically no software for reading. However, the one hour free reading mode launched by Netease Snail Reading and the weekly book review of Fandeng Reading Club use trivial time to enrich their souls, which is very relaxing and interesting; For friends with a large number of paper books, the private book collection can input your entire bookcase into your mobile phone by scanning the code!

Tools and games have always been the less fixed application types in mobile phones, because some games are deleted after playing. However, such a small game as Chameleon is a great test of reaction speed. It's good to play it at ordinary times; The most commonly used tool is Docr, which can take photos and enter documents. Supercomputer is a calculator that can calculate calculus and equations. It's better not to be found by children, otherwise it's a magic weapon for cheating in exams! In addition, for friends who like playing games, you can download an app called TapTap, which has many recommended good games. Because I don't like playing games, I didn't enter!

Final summary

Before you really got the iPhone 7 plus, you didn't know what kind of phone you wanted. Until you got it, you would find:“ Yes, I want it! ”

Although the iPhone 7 has not made great breakthroughs and changes, it is a connecting device in the iPhone series. While leading the trend and not following, it boldly explores towards the iPhone 8.

It's hard for iPhone to lead and create the brilliance of smart phone like before! Even so, once the iPhone 7 plus is launched, it is still the best used mobile phone and the most expensive mobile phone at present! and Once you enter this powerful ecosystem through an Apple product, you may not be able to extricate yourself, This is the apple ！
