IPhone 7 first impressions

Smartphones are an important part of our lifestyle and life, therefore, the release of the new iPhone 7 is an important and interesting event that awaits not only true fans of the Apple cult, but also the most ordinary girls. I now have two smartphones - the iPhone 6s and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, because I need three phone numbers and I can't do with one device.

Despite having two great smartphones, I was looking forward to the release of the iPhone 7, hoping for a new breakthrough towards excellence and the triumph of modern technology. And now it happened - Apple showed the new iPhone 7 (now with wireless headphones), the iOS 10 system, and another Apple Watch.

New iPhone 7 and 7 Plus color "onyx black" with a glossy back surface looks luxurious, but only during presentation. The glossy black surface collects fingerprints very quickly, even from the cleanest and driest of hands! Choosing an iPhone in this color, you will have to put up with a worn-out smartphone or carry a special napkin with you for regular polishing of this miracle.

In addition to fingerprints, glossy surface black color very prone to scratching. Even Apple itself recommends carrying the new smartphone in a case. Only then is all the beauty and meaning of this phone lost. It's about the same as wearing a Vacheron Constantin watch in a case. Why praise the new design of the phone when it is obviously recommended to hide it in a case?

1. Camera

The main changes were made to the camera, and this will delight many, because now more and more people are abandoning the camera and are content with taking pictures exclusively from a smartphone. Personally, I prefer to shoot with a DSLR camera with a good lens from Carl Zeiss, so the iPhone 7 camera is indifferent.

If you want to combine everything in one device, choose the iPhone 7 Plus, there are two cameras at once - one regular, and the other with an increased focal length, which allows you to make 2x optical zoom in photos. The X2 button has been added right above the shutter button in the stock Camera app. If you click on it and move your finger left and right, you can adjust the zoom, up to tenfold - however, already digital.

2. Memory

The amount of built-in memory is 32, 128, 256 gigabytes. The volume has grown significantly - 256 gigabytes of memory will be enough for the most demanding users, but Android devices offer the installation of memory cards, thus their owners have long had the opportunity to have an almost unlimited amount of memory, because you can have as many memory cards as you want.

In addition to memory cards, there have long been cloud storages where you can upload your files, photos and videos. Therefore, the presence of a large built-in memory is a very dubious plus. 256 gigabytes are necessary only for travelers who wander to places with poor Internet, where there is no way to buy a memory card, and the Internet is so slow that photos and videos cannot be thrown into the cloud storage.

3. Protection against rain drops and the ability to be easily submerged in water is an important innovation. Safety and reliability are always a plus.

4. What is missing, but I would like in the new iPhone 7
The screen remains unchanged and the iPhone lags behind its competitors in this.

5. Price
Many are confused by the price of the iPhone 7, but this is also the plus of this smartphone. The price makes it out of reach for most, and thus the iPhone 7 is becoming a luxury item to some extent.

6. Should you buy a new iPhone 7

The new iPhone 7 is slightly better than the iPhone 6S and more appropriately called the iPhone 6SS, but it's a new smartphone anyway, especially when it comes to the 7 Plus with a dual camera. If you want to treat yourself to something new, you should buy the iPhone 7 Plus.

We buy new bags not because they do a better job of storing our things, but simply because they complement our image new and in a new way, and also give new joy. It's the same with the iPhone 7 Plus, it's new and slightly better than the old one.

If you approach buying a smartphone from a practical point of view, then it makes little sense to upgrade to a new iPhone 7 as long as your current phone is working properly and coping with its duties.
