IPHONE 7 REVIEW:

The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are very unusual devices. They are full of aggressive breaks from convention while wrapped in cases that look almost exactly like their two direct predecessors.

Inside that case, everything else about the iPhone 7 is a decisive statement about the future. The dual cameras on the iPhone 7 Plus are proof of the new era in mobile photography. The iconic iPhone home button is no longer a physical button, but instead a sophisticated ballet of pressure sensors and haptic vibration motors that simulate the feel of a button. The new A10 Fusion processor blends two high-power cores that rival laptop performance with two low-power cores that combine with a much larger battery to extend running time by up to two hours.

And, yes, Apple has removed the headphone jack.

Removing the headphone jack is an act of pure confidence from Apple, which is the only company in tech that can set off a sea change in the industry by aggressively dropping various technologies from its products. Apple decides that it’s time to move on, and it has a massive base of customers that love and trust the company who make it happen. And now it’s decided that the headphone jack is over.

After carry out extensive research, it’s clear to me that Apple has considered opinions about how the next generation of phones should fit into our lives. But it’s also clear that the iPhone 7 is a transitional step into the future.
