iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus – Cool Features

      Water-Resistance

Both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are water resistance. Apple claims that these devices can be immersed in water to a depth of 1 metre and have an IP67 rating. 

                                        

Upgraded Camera

Both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have upgraded cameras. The iPhone 7 has a 12-megapixel wide angle camera, which Apple claims is 60% faster and 30% more energy-efficient than previous models, and has 4 LEDS in the flash.

The iPhone 7 Plus has an additional telephoto camera, which together with the standard 12-megapixel wide angle camera offers optical zoom at two times and up to 10 times digital zoom for photos.

                         

Wireless Headphones

Apple has an edge over its rivals with its wireless headphone feature. The most controversial thing about iPhone release this year is that it does not have headphone socket.In place of the old headphone jack, Apple has added a second speaker, so sound is two times louder than iPhone 6s.

The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will ship with a pair of wired headphones that plug into the charging port on the bottom of the device, as well as an adaptor for people who want to hang onto their old headphones.

Apple has also launched a pair of wireless headphones, called AirPods, which are available to buy for an additional £159
