Only remained a few events still to follow, including the Apple keynote will be held the evening of September 7 . But why an Android website you will speak the manufacturer supposed to be hated by our community? Because it is the main competitor of smartphones that we all follow.

With 7 new iPhone , Apple has once again aligned with the values of our favorite phones free system grow from a few months to see years. It therefore takes the very best, if only you will be sensitive.

Classic design with Jet Black colors

The first lack of novelty is reflected in the design of the phone. We have to deal with little or bow always the same design as the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6 before him, except that the band antennas are now narrower top and bottom of the device.

A new color is also emerging: Jet Black, a deep black fully covered with a coating "glossy". But be careful: this color is only available on models 128 and 256 go to the unit , not the model "basic" go to 32. Also this version of jet black (Jet Black) tends to mark many scratches. Why Apple recommends using a protective shell. The problem is that using a shell, you will enjoy more than his appearance so special.

It is also available in classic black, silver, gold and rose gold. The same colors for the same design as the sixth model, marking the fact that Apple has not really changed his phone for 3 years now. We'll see what do the first buyers, who already are lining up to find out .

Note that the home button has also been revised. No more physical button, and place a "button" Touch Touch Force using technology to simulate support. The vibration motor is also activate when certain actions, such as being down the notification panel for example.
Water resistant, but do not take it to the pool

Two major design changes have however occurred. Let's start with the best: the iPhone 7 and 7 more are now water resistant , thanks to their IP67 certification. Caution, however, it is not a question here to be able to take with you in the pool.

Indeed, the 6 indicates complete dustproof. As for 7, it indicates an effective protection against temporary submersion in water. The phone has indeed been tested for 30 minutes to 1 meter deep, nothing more.

So he resists much less than the Galaxy S7 eg IP68 certified, but still great to not die at the slightest drop of water spilled on the chassis.
Farewell jack

As leaks suggested for months and months, the iPhone 7 will not have jack : only the lightning port allows you to connect a wired accessory. To remedy this, Apple does provide a jack adapter to lightning in all boxes of new equipment.

According to the manufacturer, it is neither more nor less than an act "courageous" to say goodbye to this port older, certainly, but that has done its office. However, the brand has found any solution, of course.

He took the opportunity to highlight its future AirPods, wireless headphones at 179 € resembling his usual dry hair headphones but entirely without son. However, they are equipped with a special chip to facilitate pairing with Apple devices. They still use Bluetooth.

And of course, as his latest MacBook, a single port means new accessories expensive to be sold. If you want to charge your phone and listen to music, it will cost € 59 minimum.

A note on the audio aspect these two new models are now equipped with stereo speaker, finally! However, their placement is quite strange: one is always disposed below the phone when the other is located at the front.
New Chip A10 Fusion overkill

If the field of design, this new iPhone disappoints, its performance is however largely increased with the arrival of the new chip A10 Fusion. This is an SoC with quad-core 2, more simplistic, are reserved to primary tasks when two other powerful are reserved for the most difficult tasks.

Thus, the phone is expected to achieve "the best ever autonomy on an iPhone" with its 2 cores consuming much less energy than before. Apple ahead 2 hours on the iPhone 7 and 1 hour to about 7 more compared to the 6S generation.

Performance, its two most powerful hearts clearly not disappointed: the iPhone 7 stole the top spot OnePlus 3, with a score of 178,393 on AnTuTu. This means that the power is required.
A deplorable autonomy

Despite Apple's promises, the autonomy of the iPhone 7 is deplorable. According to latest reports fell on the batteries of these devices , the 4.7-inch model has a 1960 mAh battery. The iPhone 7 Plus is in turn passed to 2900 mAh, 2750 mAh against the More predecessor.

If the Plus version manages to get away, the 1960 mAh model 4.7 inches it insufficient to provide enough juice to keep the day. 3G communication, it takes only 12 hours and web browsing, it takes only 10 hours. In both cases, it is clearly less than its Android competitors yet equipped with Quad HD screens much more energy.
Double photo 12 MP sensor for More

The iPhone 7 has not made a huge leap on its back sensor: it is equipped with a 12 MP sensor. Its opening is however Spent f / 1.8, and is now capable of shooting 4K at 60 fps. He will perform better in low light conditions. True Tone flash is also spent 4 LED.

This is the iPhone 7 Plus is most noticed in this field : it now has a double sensor, with the same capacity and the same specifications as the first. The big difference is the fact that one is a conventional sensor, when the other is a Telephoto sensor.

Therefore, you can achieve a 2x zoom naturally through these sensors, you can switch to 10x digital zoom. However, this is not the only improvement that will have the right on Plus.

A bokeh mode, totally exclusive to the iPhone 7 Plus will also be made available at the end of the year via update. This will allow you to blur the background of your images to create more vivid portraits. A feature that we already know from the Honor 6+ on the Android midrange. It is indeed a software processing.

Note however that if the dual iPhone photo sensor 7 Plus remains impressive on paper, the simple sensor model is 4.7 inches away from making prowess. DxOMark on, it gets a score of only 86 points which ranks tied with the LG G5, the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge.

This leaves behind the Sony Xperia Z5, the Moto Z Force and the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and was overtaken by all Android camera phones in 2016, starting with Google Pixel or Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge. For a smartphone sold at that price, it's just unforgivable.

Brighter screen wide gamut

To see all this, nothing better than owning directly in his pocket a powerful display. With this new iPhone, Apple went even a step further by offering a display using the same color space that digital cinema conforming to DCI-P3 standard. Apple, however, did not communicate what percentage it respected.

Still, it therefore has a very wide gamut allowing you to enter the color nuances of each image. 7 The iPhone has a screen 4.7-inch 1334 × 750 resolution, when the iPhone 7 Plus has a screen 5.5-inch Full HD 1920 × 1080. Note that after the site DisplayMate reference, the last two born Apple offer the best LCD screen ever seen on a smartphone.

Price and release date of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus

IPhone 7 and 7 more are available in France since September 16. Keep in mind, however, that prices will rise with this new device, which is available with 32, 128 and 256 GB of storage. To recall, the Jet Black color is only available to 128 go. Here are the prices:

iPhone 7
- 769 euros for 32 GB version
- 879 euros for 128 GB version
- 989 euros for 256 GB version
iPhone 7 Plus
- 909 euros for 32 GB version
- 1019 euros in 128 GB version
- 1129 euros in 256 GB version
Prices that are extremely bad, and begin to be hard to justify in view of fares of the many accessories that are pushing these new iPhone 7. Apple's marketing magic continues to work great, why in defeat -they?

Some sales information

If Apple decided, for now, not to disclose any sales figure around its iPhone 7 Plus 7 and a first report mentioned. These figures take into account only the European and Asian markets, but which are significant enough to the GFK institute draw its first conclusions.
