Apple iPhone 7 Plus full specification - Review
Released in September 2016, the iPhone 7 Plus marked a turning point for Apple’s flagship smartphone. It wasn’t just a bump in specs; it introduced features that would become iPhone staples for years. While familiar with its rounded corners and aluminum body, the design took a leap forward with water and dust resistance, a first for iPhones. This allowed users to breathe a sigh of relief near pools or unexpected downpours.
The display remained a brilliant 5.5-inch Retina HD LCD, offering sharp visuals and comfortable viewing for media consumption. However, the show’s real star was the dual-lens camera system on the back. It sported two 12-megapixel sensors: a wide-angle lens for everyday shots and a telephoto lens that brought true 2x optical zoom, a game-changer for mobile photography. This paved the way for the iPhone’s reputation as a camera powerhouse. The addition of Portrait mode with its simulated depth-of-field effect allowed users to capture stunning bokeh portraits, blurring the background behind their subjects for a professional-looking aesthetic.
Under the hood, the iPhone 7 Plus housed the powerful A10 Fusion chip, a significant performance upgrade over its predecessor. This chip offered improved efficiency and speed, making multitasking and running demanding games a breeze. While not the most cutting-edge by today’s standards, it still holds up for basic tasks and can handle many popular apps.
The iPhone 7 Plus wasn’t without its quirks. Removing the headphone jack in favor of Lightning headphones or a wireless adapter was a controversial move that some users still debate today. Battery life was decent but not groundbreaking. However, it offered most users a comfortable day’s use on a single charge.
Overall, the iPhone 7 Plus was a substantial leap forward for iPhones. It delivered a waterproof design, a phenomenal dual-camera system that revolutionized mobile photography, and a powerful processor. While newer models boast better displays, longer battery life, and superior cameras, the iPhone 7 Plus remains a compelling option for those seeking a reliable and stylish smartphone experience at a more affordable price point in the pre-owned market.
