September 8th ,2016 marked the release of Apple's next generation of the iPhone at its annual event in San Francisco - the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
At a launch event , the company revealed an upgraded iPhone that, while aesthetically similar to the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, has several big differences, including a pressure-sensitive home button, better camera, a faster processor and improved battery life, as well as having no headphone jack.
The most significant changes on the new phone include an upgraded camera, a new home button and the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack.One of the most controversial decisions has been to remove the headphone jack, instead shipping the phone with a pair of Lightning EarPods - which connect through the charging port - and wireless Apple AirPods, powered by a W1 chip.The pods can connect to Apple watches, laptops and iPads.Beats have also released two versions of wireless headphones for the iPhone 7 models.
Infared sensors detect when each pod is in your ear and motion sensors control the headphones to use Siri and detect your voice.
The camera has been revamped to enhance low-light capabilities and take even sharper photos.The iPhone 7 Plus has two 12MP cameras, one of which is a wide angle lens and the other a telephoto lens that can zoom 2X in high quality without using any software. The telephoto lens means the camera can zoom to 10X with optical and soft zoom.Cameras on both models will also have 12 megapixel sensors as well as 4K video recording capability. It also enables live editing of video files and with wide colour capture.
Apple has introduced two new colours for the iPhone 7 to replace space grey. The new models are available in five different colours including two new shades of black.All in all the new handset look very similar to the current iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, but with the antenna bands moved from the back of the device to the edges.
