iPhone 7 Specs, Features Price

iPhone 7 Features: Apple announced the iPhone 7 at its press event in September. As expected, the iPhone 7 looks similar to the iPhone 6, though it has a camera bump. One of the most significant design change was the two new color choices, which come in Jet Black and a matte black aka Black. Apple also released a Gold, Silver and Rose Gold model. As rumored, Apple removed the 3.5mm headphone jack in favor of wireless headphones - though it does come with an adapter for existing headphones. Fans of wireless headphones won’t mind, but owners of wired headphones will need to carry a 3.5mm Lightning adapter which could be a deal breaker. Apple redesigned the home button on the iPhone 7, making it force sensitive just like the trackpads used in recent MacBook laptops. The camera in the iPhone 7 has been upgraded with optical image stabilization and a brighter f/1.8 lens.

iPhone 7 Specs: The iPhone 7 also comes with a new A10 Fusion processor that’s 40 percent faster than the iPhone 6. Apple also says that the new iPhone 7 has the “longest battery life ever of an iPhone,” making it a more powerful device than the Galaxy S7 Edge. When it comes to storage between the iPhone 7 and Galaxy S7 Edge it’s a pretty close tie. The iPhone 7 is available 32, 128 and 256GB variants, while the Galaxy S7 Edge comes in 32GB or 64GB build. The Galaxy S7 also has a MicroSD slot, which might put the Galaxy ahead of the iPhone 7, especially since MicroSD cards are cheap.

iPhone 7 Price: You can buy the iPhone 7 from Apple for $650.

It’s always a close race when comparing the iPhone 7, LG V20 and the Galaxy S7 Edge. Though the iPhone 7 is cheaper and more powerful, the Galaxy S7 Edge offers a headphone jack and a bigger display. Sometimes it just comes down to brand loyalty and what operating system you're used to. So if you’re an Android user, you’ll want to go with the Galaxy S7 Edge. If you’re upset Apple removed the headphone jack, that’ll make it even easier for you to want to buy the S7 Edge or LG V20.

However, if you’re thinking about switching to iOS and you want a powerful phone that’s easy to use, you’ll want to buy the iPhone 7. The Galaxy S7 Edge is technically the winner, but it really depends on what you’re willing to spend and what features you can and cannot live without.
