Keynote Apple: 7 major innovations of iPhone 7

One expected an iPhone not really exciting, however Apple operates some material changes with his smartphone. Summary of the keynote of Apple in 7 important points.

1. Design

For the first time at the end of a two years cycle, Apple fundamentally did not change forms Factor of sound smartphone. To mitigate this absence, the manufacturer however tried to leave large aesthetic artillery. Two details can thus be underlined. The first is the completion “black of jays”, entirely polished and thus of brilliant appearance. The second is the integration of the photo sensor, crimped within the back hull in a ring cut directly in the mass. Lastly, one notices the suppression of the parts of the antenna which barred the hull arrière.

2. Camera

It is one of the most important evolutions of iPhone 7. Optical stabilization is now used on the two models, while the opening of the objective passes to f/1.8. But it is especially the double sensor of the iPhone 7 More which challenges. It combines a great angle and a standard focal distance which corresponds to the perception7. human eye. That allows an optical zoom x2 and a digital zoom x10.

3. Button of reception

Central element of the interface of iPhone, the button of reception had not really evolved since the first models in 2007. For iPhone 7, Apple takes as a starting point the Force Touch of the trackpads by MacBook and MacBook Pro to design a central button deprived of mechanics. It is from now on a vibration which will simulate its activation. It will be also programmable with short cuts towards predetermined actions and will be able to also function with third applications.

4. Tight

Apple was late on this point compared to Sony and Samsung, none of its iPhone was never tight. This version 7 meets from now on standard IP67. That means that it is tight with dust and can pass up to 30 minutes in less than one meter of water.

5. End of the catch jack

Another event envisaged by the rumours since several months: the pure and simple disappearance of the catch audio jack. EarPods delivered in the box have from now on a Lightning port. They will be accompanied by a Lightning adapter towards jack to use the old helmets. The others will be able to use the Bluetooth or the new connection “Wireless” of Apple coupled with the new AirPods ear-phones and a range of Happy helmets.

6. Loudspeakers

Apple also placed a loudspeaker on each side of the screen. As in other manufacturers (HTC does it for a long time). That in particular makes it possible to benefit from a stereo effect. Apple also announces that the sound volume will be doubled compared to iPhone 6s.

7. Processor A10 Fusion

Lastly, the heart of the smartphone is obviously updated. The new processor – which avoids suffix “Fusion” – has four hearts. Two are dedicated to the performance, while the two others are cut for energy efficiency. They for example will be requested on the not very greedy tasks like the e-mail reading. That makes it possible at Apple to promise an autonomy in rise. IPhone 7 would allow two hours of use besides iPhone 6s, while iPhone 7 More would gain only one hour compared to iPhone 6s Plus.

IPhone 7 and 7 More will be proposed in précommande and will be delivered by September 9th starting from September 16th. They are available in version 32.128 and 256 Go to the respective prices of 769.879 and 989 euros (909, 1019 and 1129 euros). Maybe between 20 and 50 euros moreover than the models of last year.
