The iPhone 7 was released in September 2016, and it is the seventh generation of the iPhone smartphone.
Design
The iPhone 7 is very similar in design to the iPhone 6s, with only a few minor changes. The most notable change is the removal of the headphone jack. Apple argued that this was necessary to make the phone thinner and more water-resistant. The iPhone 7 is also available in two new colors: Jet Black and Matte Black.
Display
The iPhone 7 has a 4.7-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 750×1334 pixels. The display is bright and colorful, and it has good viewing angles. However, it is not as high-resolution as some of the displays on competing Android smartphones.
Performance
The iPhone 7 is powered by the A10 Fusion chip, which is one of the fastest mobile processors on the market. The phone is very responsive and can handle even the most demanding tasks with ease.
Camera
The iPhone 7 has a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera with optical image stabilization. The camera takes great photos in both good and low light conditions. The phone also has a 7-megapixel front-facing camera for taking selfies.
Battery life
The iPhone 7 has a 1960mAh battery. The battery life is good, but it is not as good as the battery life on some of the larger Android smartphones.
Overall
The iPhone 7 is a great smartphone with a fast processor, a good camera, and a long-lasting battery. However, it is important to note that the phone is now over six years old, and it is starting to show its age. The display is not as high-resolution as the displays on some of the newer iPhones, and the phone does not have some of the features that are found on newer iPhones, such as Face ID and wireless charging.
