What size does it look like?
The format of the iPhone 7 looks to be mistaken for that of the iPhone 6s and its big brother, the iPhone 7 Plus, to the 6s Plus. Its edges are rounded, breaking with models 5 and SE. On the other hand it is a bit lighter ( 138g versus 143g) but it is not obvious to these grammages there ....
What colors for the iPhone 7?
The iPhone 7 comes in 5 colors (versus 4 for the 6s). And the great novelty is an ultra glossy black ("black jet"). What make the iPhone7 ultra sexy for some, too "Dark Vader" for others.
We thus find ourselves with:
- iPhone 7 black jet
- iPhone 7 matte black
- iPhone 7 silver
- iPhone 7 gold
- iPhone 7 gold pink
Is the quality of photos improved with the iPhone 7
On paper, it should. Notably because the opening of the focal length is done at 1.8 (against 2.2 on the 6s) what is found on the very good lenses photos . Technically, this opening allows you to take pictures with your iPhone even when there is little light. In general, the photos are a bit blurred because the opening is longer but Apple has integrated an optical stabilization to compensate (remains to test to check its relevance of course). On the resolution, we stay in high-end with 12 megapixels. In Camera Facetime , it also improves: we move to 7 megapixels instead of 5 megapixels. In other words, those who squat Instagram with their selfies #iPhone will give themselves to heart joy.
Wireless headphones ... we risk not losing them?
This is the great news of this version of iPhone: there is no plug to connect its headphones. And debates on the subject flood the web. Short. A priori one does not lose its headphones. The "AirPods" are recharged in their case and are therefore usable as soon as they are wedged in their ears. On the other hand, the AirPods are only available from the end of October. In the meantime, the iPhone 7 comes with an adapter to use its traditional headphones.
Can I go diving with?
The iPhone 7 is ... waterproof ! It therefore resists moisture. Concretely, if it takes the rain or falls by accident in the water it is protected up to 1 meter (standard IP67). Nevertheless it is not designed to stay in water. Even if the new Apple Watch ( Apple Watch series 2 ) is designed to go down to 50 m deep, it is not advisable to do the same thing with the iPhone 7.
iPhone7, available in France from September 16, from 769 €, 32 GB. But the new color Black Jais is available only in 128 GB and 256 GB, from 879 €.
