What kind of screen does iPhone 7 have? Information about other important connection technologies supported by the device

The first point when buying a phone is exactly the size of the screen and how many inches it is. Today we will talk about the screen size of iPhones, because this question interests many.

In fact, there is a lot of information about this, and since the iPhone is simply a standard among phones, I will be very brief and try to show only the main thing.

What is the iPhone screen size?

Apple held its position with small screens for a long time, but the smartphone market still forced them to change their thinking and now you know how much the largest screen is on the iPhone. If not, then the following list is for you.

In it I will talk not only about its size, I will also mention its main characteristics.

First generation iPhone screen, 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S

For five generations we have used phones with such small screens. At that time, and this is the period from 2007 to 11, this size was acceptable and was enough for all modern tasks.

But if you look through the eyes of 2006, these are very small smartphones and you don’t really want to pick them up. There is little content on the screen, and games are generally inconvenient to play.

• 2G:
• 3G: 3.5 inches, LCD TFT, resolution 320×480, 163 ppi;
• 3GS: 3.5 inches, LCD TFT, resolution 320×480, 163 ppi;
• 4: 3.5 inches, LCD TFT, resolution 640×960, 326 ppi;
• 4S: 3.5 inches, Retina, resolution 640×960, 326 ppi.

All these phones have become a very significant part in the development touchscreen smartphones. It was thanks to them that the race for inches and ppi began.

Screen sizes iPhone 5, 5S, 5C, SE

The size of these particular phones remains relevant to this day. Here you can find a compromise between ease of control and compactness.


If you don't have very big hands and don't like your phone sticking out of your pocket, then you should have one of these smartphones.

• 5:
• 5S: 4 inches, resolution 640×1136, IPS Retina display, 326 ppi;
• 5C: 4 inches, resolution 640×1136, IPS Retina+ display, 326 ppi;
• SE: 4 inches, resolution 640×1136, IPS Retina+ display, 326 ppi.

The quality of such screens is quite amazing and has been proven by many users over the years. I think everyone has a friend who prefers this particular screen size.

iPhone 6, 6S, 6 PLUS, 6S PLUS sizes

Starting with the number six, the race for inches began in earnest. Now Yabloko could boast that they didn’t have a miniature iPhone, but a real shovel.


Although, the further the development of smartphones goes, the more the term “shovel” loses its relevance. You won't surprise anyone with your 5-inch phone.

• 6:
• 6 PLUS: 5.5 inches, resolution 1920×1080, Retina HD, 401 ppi;
• 6S: 4.7 inches, resolution 750×1334, Retina HD, 326 ppi;
• 6S PLUS:

The screen size has grown significantly and now the iPhone is not miniature at all. You are holding in your hands a full-fledged smartphone with a very large diagonal.

In this generation Apple smartphones I decided to stick to the sizes of the previous two generations. Why come up with something new if the old one works quite well.


Moreover, the iPhone is now associated with such large inch screens. The time when people were surprised by large iPhones is long gone.

• 7: 4.7 inches, resolution 1334×750, Retina HD, 326 ppi;
• 7 PLUS: 5.5 inches, resolution 1920×1080, Retina HD, 401 ppi.

The appearance of black color in the line made the smartphones more elegant. Now we say goodbye to the Space Gray color with peace of mind.

Results

The release of the next iPhone in the fall is already a tradition, as well as information leaking out from everywhere (mostly true) about what will be new in this iPhone. The iPhone 7/7 Plus was no exception. However, if the previous generation iPhone had nothing truly revolutionary (only good evolutionary improvements), then in the “seven” we see truly significant innovations. Which, however, does not mean an unambiguously positive assessment of them.

Let's take a look at the characteristics of the new product.

*according to manufacturer information
** our measurement

The table clearly shows the key iPhone features The 7 Plus features water resistance, a first for the line, the disappearance of the 3.5mm headphone jack, and a dual-lens camera that offers 2x optical zoom capability.

Of course, in addition to this, there is a new SoC (we will definitely evaluate its performance) and an increased amount of memory (both RAM and permanent memory). It is significant that the dimensions of the device have remained the same - this is atypical for an iPhone without the letter “s” in the name.

Well, let's get acquainted with the smartphone live.

Packaging and equipment

The packaging of the iPhone 7 Plus is traditional for Apple smartphones and is practically no different from the packaging of the previous generation smartphone. But in the new glossy black version (Jet Black), the stylish black design of the box attracts attention.

As for the configuration, at first glance, everything here is also traditional, but there is one important surprise. So, the kit includes EarPods with a Lightning connector, mounted on a cardboard holder (it’s a pity that they abandoned the plastic box with a transparent lid, as was the case before! - according to Apple, for environmental reasons), leaflets, Charger(5 V 1 A), lightning cable, stickers and a key for removing the SIM card cradle, as well as an adapter from Lightning to a 3.5 mm minijack.

It is this adapter that is that surprise. As we said, the new iPhone doesn't have a traditional headphone jack. Therefore, to use wired headphones from third-party manufacturers with iPhone you will need an adapter. The big plus is that it is free and very compact.

Design

Externally, the new iPhone is very similar to its predecessor. Dimensions and basic design elements remain unchanged. The feeling of novelty is, of course, introduced by color solutions that were previously unavailable: “black onyx” and “black”.

In the first days of sales, there was a huge excitement around the “black onyx” option, which is quite logical. Here, not only the color is new, but also the coating is glossy, not matte aluminum, like other options and previous generations of iPhone. We tested exactly this one, “black onyx”, and I must say, it leaves mixed impressions.

The fact is that outwardly it looks very similar to plastic. It’s as if the smartphone just has a black plastic body. But if you take it in your hand, you feel the coolness and heaviness typical of metal. Well, if you knock on it, then all doubts about the type of material will disappear: it is metal, not plastic. However, during use, you will very quickly encounter a problem that is typical of glossy plastic devices - contamination of the case with fingerprints. Miracles don’t happen, and that’s true here too.

Of course, the cover saves you from this, but it gets up logical question: Why chase a new color if it won’t be visible under the case anyway? True, you can alternate using your smartphone with and without a case, fortunately Apple has released it for the new iPhone new line covers - very nice. This is what a branded one looks like Leather Case for iPhone 7 in “stormy sky” color (it is not included in the package, must be purchased separately for 4100 ).

It looks nicer in person and feels very nice in the hand. Although, let's add a fly in the ointment, the surface of the case quickly becomes covered with scratches and abrasions. This can be seen even in the photo above, although before the shooting we used this case for just a few days. And one more thing: despite the preserved dimensions and shape, you cannot use cases for the iPhone 6s Plus with the new iPhone - the changed camera eye is in the way.

Returning to the design of the iPhone itself, we note four key innovations that greatly affect the use of the device, although they are not noticeable from the outside. First of all, it is moisture protection. How long have we waited for her! How often have there been stories about iPhone falling in the toilet, getting caught in heavy rain, problems after using it in winter during snowfall... Now all this is in the past. Yes, Apple representatives emphasize that you cannot swim with an iPhone (unlike the Apple Watch Series 2). But it will survive a short-term immersion in water (like falling into a toilet).

The second aspect, which follows directly from the issue of moisture protection, is the replacement of the round Home button with a touch zone. In fact, in terms of revolution, this change may well be comparable to the abandonment of the 3.5 mm jack, and it will certainly irritate many Apple fans. After all, this button has long become almost iPhone symbol! The key design element that competitors did not dare to copy (by at least, exactly in this form). And now Apple itself is abandoning it.

It is clear that he refuses not out of some whim, but precisely because of the desire to make the smartphone waterproof. And yet, the move is bold. However, Apple employs very inventive people. They rightly decided that in the end, the most important thing for users is not the fact of pressing a button, but the feeling that a person experiences while doing so. And if so, then why not imitate this feeling? After all, Apple has Taptic Engine technology. And an amazing thing happened: when we touch the touch zone, we really feel about the same as when we press physical button. Miracles! The author gave the device to several people, and those of them who did not know about this innovation in advance, but had experience using iPhone, they couldn’t believe that there really was no button and it was an illusion.

The third innovation is the appearance of stereo speakers. Now the sound is coming both below, where there are slits, and above, where there are no slits. This is, of course, good for watching videos and playing games, although such usage scenarios are less convenient on a smartphone than on a tablet (remember that all models have stereo speakers iPad Pro). But they won’t make things worse, that’s for sure.

And finally, let us remind you once again about the disappearance of the standard headphone jack. Please note that the top edge of the smartphone is now devoid of any connectors or slots, while the location of the remaining controls and slots has not changed.

On the right is the power button and slot for Nano-SIM cards. On the left are volume buttons and a lever to switch the smartphone to silent mode. And at the bottom there is a single Lightning connector and speaker grilles.

Well, Apple did not radically change the appearance of the smartphone (as, for example, it was in the previous “numbered” generations - iPhone 4, 5, 6), but made revolutionary adjustments to functional features design. And if the appearance of moisture protection is a definite plus, then other innovations are more controversial. Not everyone to whom I showed the new iPhone 7 Plus “black onyx” liked it; not everyone was ready to give up such a familiar Home button and headphone jack. Time will tell whether the innovations will take root (we are almost sure that yes, they will). However, in any case, one cannot fail to note the ingenuity and grace with which Apple engineers and designers solved the problems assigned to them.

Screen

Options iPhone screen 7 Plus are no different from those of the iPhone 6 Plus: 5.5-inch diagonal, IPS matrix with a resolution of 1920x1080. By modern standards, these are not record parameters, but, however, they look like a golden mean. True, with the spread of VR headsets, it became clear that even a resolution of 2560x1440 in smartphones is not enough, but Apple still sticks to 1920x1080, apparently not considering the use case described above to be widespread enough to sacrifice other parameters for the sake of ultra-high resolution.

The editor of the “Monitors” and “Projectors and TV” sections will tell you about the quality of the display. Alexey Kudryavtsev.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface that is scratch-resistant. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-glare properties of the screen are better than those of the Google Nexus 7 (2013) screen (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, here is a photograph in which a white surface is reflected when the screens are turned off (on the left is Nexus 7, on the right is Apple iPhone 7 Plus, then they can be distinguished by size):

The screen of the Apple iPhone 7 Plus is slightly darker (brightness according to photographs is 109 versus 116 for the Nexus 7). The ghosting of reflected objects in the screen of the Apple iPhone 7 Plus is very weak, this indicates that there is no air gap between the layers of the screen (more specifically, between the outer glass and the surface of the LCD matrix) (OGS - One Glass Solution type screen). Due to smaller number boundaries (glass/air type) with very different refractive indices, such screens look better in conditions of intense external illumination, but their repair in the case of cracked external glass is much more expensive, since the entire screen has to be replaced. The outer surface of the screen has a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating (effective, much like the Nexus 7), so fingerprints are removed much more easily and appear at a lower speed than with regular glass.

When manually controlling brightness and when displaying a white field in full screen maximum value brightness was about 550 cd/m², the minimum was 2 cd/m². The maximum brightness is very high, and, given the excellent anti-glare properties, readability even on a sunny day outdoors will be at a good level. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. In stock automatic adjustment brightness by light sensor. IN automatic mode When external lighting conditions change, the screen brightness both increases and decreases. The operation of this function depends on the position of the brightness adjustment slider - with it the user sets the desired brightness level for the current conditions. If you don’t change anything, then in complete darkness the brightness drops to 2 cd/m² (very dark), in illuminated conditions artificial light office (about 550 lux) the screen brightness is set to 130 cd/m² (acceptable), in a very bright environment (corresponding to lighting on a clear day outdoors, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 lux or a little more) rises to 630 cd/m² (even higher than with manual adjustment). We were not entirely satisfied with the result, so in the dark we slightly moved the brightness slider to the right, and for the three conditions indicated above we got 16, 110-130 and 630 cd/m² (ideal). It turns out that the auto-brightness function works adequately, and it is possible to adjust the nature of the brightness change to suit the user's requirements. At any brightness level, there is no significant backlight modulation, so there is no screen flicker.

IN this smartphone matrix is ​​used IPS type. The microphotographs show a typical IPS subpixel structure:

For comparison, you can see the gallery of microphotographs of screens used in mobile technology.

Traditionally, for iPhones, many dust particles are found in the layer of filler adhesive between the outer glass and the matrix:

The screen has good viewing angles without significant color shift even with large viewing deviations from perpendicular to the screen and without inverting shades. For comparison, here are photographs in which Apple screens iPhone 7 Plus and Nexus 7 display the same images, while the screen brightness is initially set to approximately 200 cd/m² (across the white field across the entire screen), and the color balance on the camera is forced to switch to 6500 K. The white field is perpendicular to the screens:

We note good uniformity of brightness and color tone white field.

And a test picture:

Color balance varies slightly, color saturation is normal.

Now at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors did not change much on both screens and the contrast remained at a high level.

And a white field:

The brightness at an angle of the screens decreased (by at least 4 times, based on the difference in shutter speed), but in the case of the Apple iPhone 7 Plus the drop in brightness is less. When deviated diagonally, the black field is lightened to a medium degree and acquires a purple tint. The photographs below demonstrate this (the brightness of the white areas in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the screens is approximately the same!):

And from another angle:

When viewed perpendicularly, the uniformity of the black field is good, although not ideal:

The contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is high - about 1300:1. The response time for the black-white-black transition is 22 ms (12 ms on + 10 ms off). The transition between halftones of gray 25% and 75% (according to the numerical value of the color) and back takes a total of 30 ms. The gamma curve, constructed using 32 points with equal intervals based on the numerical value of the shade of gray, did not reveal any blockage in either the highlights or the shadows. The exponent of the approximating power function is 1.99, which is slightly lower than the standard value of 2.2. In this case, the real gamma curve slightly deviates from the power-law dependence:

Color gamut is sRGB:

Let's look at the spectra:

Such spectra (unfortunately) are found in top mobile phones Sony devices and other manufacturers. Apparently, this screen uses LEDs with a blue emitter and green and red phosphor (usually a blue emitter and a yellow phosphor), which, in combination with special matrix filters, allows for a wide color gamut. Yes, and in red phosphor, apparently, so-called quantum dots. For a consumer device, a wide color gamut is not an advantage, but significant drawback, since as a result, the colors of images - drawings, photographs and films - oriented to the sRGB space (and the vast majority of them) have an unnatural saturation. This is especially noticeable on recognizable shades, such as skin tones. However, unlike many famous and not so famous companies, Apple knows what the color gamut should be, and therefore carefully adjusts it to the sRGB boundaries (apparently programmatically). As a result, visually the colors have a natural saturation.

The balance of shades on the gray scale is good, since the color temperature is close to the standard 6500 K, and the deviation from the blackbody spectrum (ΔE) is less than 10, which is considered an acceptable indicator for a consumer device. At the same time, color temperature and ΔE change little from hue to hue - this has a positive effect on the visual assessment of color balance. The nature of the change in values ​​from hue to hue indirectly shows that software color correction is used. (The darkest areas of the gray scale can be ignored, since there is no color balance of great importance, and the error in measuring color characteristics at low brightness is large.)

Like the iPad Pro with a 9.7-inch display and the iPhone SE, this Apple device there is a function Night Shift , which makes the picture warmer at night (the user specifies how much warmer).

A description of why such a correction can be useful is given in the specified article about the iPad Pro 9.7. In any case, when having fun with a tablet or smartphone at night, it is better to reduce the screen brightness to a minimum, but still comfortable level, and only then, to calm your own paranoia, turn the screen yellow with the setting Night Shift.

Let's summarize. The screen has a very high maximum brightness and has excellent anti-glare properties, so the device special problems Can be used outdoors even on a sunny summer day. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable level. It is also possible to use a mode with automatic brightness adjustment, which works adequately. The advantages of the screen include an effective oleophobic coating, the absence of air gaps in the layers of the screen and flickering, good black stability to deviation of the gaze from perpendicular to the screen plane, high contrast, as well as the sRGB color gamut and good color balance. There are no significant shortcomings. On this moment this is probably one of the best displays among all smartphones.

Performance

iPhone 7 Plus runs on the new Apple A10 Fusion SoC. For the first time, the company is using a quad-core CPU, the peculiarity of which is the presence of two cores operating at a reduced frequency. They are used when high performance is not required. The idea, of course, is not new, and we have seen something similar from competitors for a long time - and in a 4+4 configuration, not 2+2. Yes, and three gigabytes random access memory today you won’t surprise anyone - flagship models competitors have 4 GB, or even 6 GB. But, as we have long understood, comparing the performance of iPhone with Android models, focusing solely on the number of cores, gigabytes and gigahertz, is incorrect and pointless. So let's move on to the tests, which will show how much the new product is superior to or inferior to its competitors, as well as what performance increase there is compared to the iPhone 6s Plus. We emphasize that we carried out all the tests again on the iPhone 6s Plus, since it is logical to compare models on the same OS version, that is, on iOS 10, and our first iPhone testing 6s Plus ran on iOS 9.

Let's start with browser tests: SunSpider 1.0.2, Octane Benchmark and Kraken Benchmark. We will also add to our standard set- a new browser benchmark recommended by the creators of SunSpider as a replacement. On iOS devices we used Safari browser, on Samsung Galaxy Note7 - Chrome.

The picture is clear: the new product is about one and a half times faster than its predecessor, and more than twice as fast as its main competitor.

Now let's see how the iPhone 7 Plus performs in the comprehensive AnTuTu benchmark (we've recently been using it on iOS) and Geekbench 3, which measures CPU and RAM performance.

The layout is generally similar, although here the gap from the Samsung Galaxy Note7 is not so great, and the iPhone 6s Plus looks better. However, the leadership of the iPhone 7 Plus is still undeniable.

The last group of benchmarks is dedicated to testing GPU performance. We used 3DMark, GFXBench, as well as Basemark Metal Pro, created specifically for devices with Metal technology. In the case of the iPhone, GFXBench Metal was used (a benchmark option optimized for Metal devices), on the Samsung Galaxy Note7 - regular version GFXBench 3.

Let us remind you that Offscreen tests involve displaying images in 1080p, regardless of the actual screen resolution. And Onscreen tests mean displaying a picture in the resolution that matches the device screen resolution. That is, Offscreen tests are indicative from the point of view of the abstract performance of the SoC, and Onscreen tests are indicative from the point of view of the comfort of the game on a specific device.

	(Apple A10)	Apple iPhone 6s Plus (Apple A9)	Samsung Galaxy Note7 (Samsung Exynos 8890 Octa)
GFXBenchmark Manhattan (Onscreen)	47.0 fps	40.3 fps	25 fps
GFXBenchmark Manhattan (1080p Offscreen)	41.0 fps	41.8 fps	38 fps
GFXBenchmark T-Rex (Onscreen)	57.8 fps	58.6 fps	51 fps
GFXBenchmark T-Rex (1080p Offscreen)	106.91 fps	82.8 fps	81 fps

Despite some oddities in the results (almost identical iPhone indicators 6s Plus and iPhone 7 Plus in Manhattan Offscreen mode, but at the same time the iPhone 7 is a confident winner in Onscreen mode, but the opposite picture is in the T-Rex scene), the distribution of places remains the same: iPhone 7 is ahead, last year's iPhone is next, and in third place - Samsung flagship.

Once again, the iPhone 7 Plus is in the lead.

Finally - Basemark Metal Pro. Since this benchmark is made specifically for Apple devices, Samsung smartphone not in the table.

Well, one and a half times superiority - that’s approximately what Apple promised us.

As a result, we can admit that the iPhone 7 Plus is the most productive smartphone to date. Performance increase compared to iPhone 6s Plus - up to one and a half times, the closest Samsung competitor Galaxy Note7 is also completely destroyed. This also applies to graphic benchmarks, which is most important for games. However, we will repeat what we write about performance every time flagship smartphones: at the time of their release, it is almost impossible to feel the difference with its predecessor and with weaker competitors of the same level in real applications. Only after a year and a half do game projects come out that can fully reveal their potential.

Cameras

On iPhone 7 and 7 Plus important updates made for the camera part as well. We will analyze the iPhone 7 camera in a separate article, but here we will focus on the capabilities iPhone cameras 7Plus. So, the main thing: there are now two camera modules. One is wide-angle, the other is with a telephoto lens. Right during shooting, you can choose which of the two cameras to use, and this is done intuitively.

Cameras can be switched even while shooting video. It is reported that 4K video can now be shot at not only 30 fps, but also at 60 fps. However, an option that allows you to set 60 fps when shooting in 4K was not found in the settings. From which we can conclude that either this will be added to the software later, or this option will only be available when using third-party software. Here are examples of 4K videos at 30 fps.

The first video, shot with a wide-angle lens, demonstrates almost flawless quality. In some places you can even see the license plates of passing cars. In the third video we see a very beautiful color and Good work cameras in backlight. By the way, both videos allow you to evaluate optical stabilization.

But videos 2 and 4 already demonstrate some shortcomings. In the second video you can see the switching between the two cameras (it was done manually), and here you can clearly see that the image quality from the telephoto lens is noticeably worse than from the wide-angle. The fourth video attracts attention because the image is very noisy: the camera can no longer cope at dusk, although at the time of shooting (18:48 in early October) it was not yet very dark.

Now let's evaluate the photo capabilities. Below are examples of pictures taken with rear cameras with comments from our expert. Anton Solovyov

Lighting ≈130 lux, flash.

Lighting<1 люкс, вспышка.

As expected, the camera quality in iPhones is no longer moving forward, but it’s not losing ground either. There are some minor problems with software processing, but you could already get used to them over the last two generations - all this will be corrected in the next update. Of course, it’s a little disappointing that there are still damp spots in the production sample, but it’s not that critical. In good lighting, the camera produces a beautiful and fairly clean image, but at the slightest drop in illumination, the noise reduction turns on with all its might, although the shutter speeds are not that long and the photosensitivity values ​​are low.

A camera with a telephoto lens most likely has the same sensor, but the program works a little worse with it. Often there are areas of blur or something like blur, despite fairly short shutter speeds. I don’t want to think badly about optics, because making a telephoto lens in this case is easier than making a wide-angle one. It would be strange if its quality let it down. However, the TV camera is still convenient and useful, despite the current quality of the images.

As a result, the iPhone 7 Plus camera can be safely called good. We just have to wait a little, and then we can consider it excellent.

Autonomous operation and heating

A year ago, we noted that the battery life of the iPhone 6s Plus is one of the main advantages of the device. One and a half to two days of use, a long time of playing games and watching videos - for many devices such results are unattainable. The iPhone 7 Plus does not have any superiority here, but there is no significant loss compared to the iPhone 6s Plus. You can use your smartphone without recharging for the same one and a half to two days (with average active use, the smartphone can be charged once every two nights).

In our traditional test scenarios, the iPhone 7 Plus also performed well, although it was inferior to its predecessor in the duration of playback of a 3D game scene. However, the closest competitor demonstrates almost twice as bad a result in this test.

Below is a thermal image rear surface obtained after two consecutive runs (about 10 minutes of work) of the Basemark Metal test:

It can be seen that the heating is highly localized in the upper right part of the device, which apparently corresponds to the location of the SoC chip. According to the heat chamber, the maximum heating was 41 degrees (at an ambient temperature of 24 degrees), which is not very much.

conclusions

iPhone 7 Plus is a controversial device. It's a definite flagship with a lot going for it, including record-breaking performance, long battery life and low heat when playing 3D games, a traditionally great screen, and an innovative (if flawed) camera. However, the high-profile design innovations that Apple introduced with this generation of iPhone will not be accepted by all users. On the other hand, many may remain disappointed that the appearance of the smartphone has remained virtually unchanged compared to the previous two generations (except, of course, for the new “black onyx” color scheme, which is also very controversial due to its glossy finish).

Still, it's a new iPhone, and that's it. Apple is absolutely in its own style: it doesn’t seem to care about competitors or even fans of the brand, who have difficulty accepting some bold innovations. The company simply does what it sees fit. And in the end, we get devices that (despite the dissatisfied cries of both haters and some fans) are used by everyone. In the case of the iPhone 7 Plus, the situation will be the same. And the triumphant start of sales confirms this.

In conclusion, we suggest watching our video review of the iPhone 7 Plus smartphone:

In this article you will find a comparison of all popular iPhone models by size and weight.

The whole world eagerly awaits the appearance of a new iPhone model, and when this happens, this phenomenon turns into a grandiose event, the news of which spreads throughout the globe.

• The news of the main information channels of each country speaks about this, the Internet is replete with articles about the appearance of a new product, and people on the streets are talking about this only - someone is waiting for a new gadget to go on sale, while others are simply dreaming of a new modern phone.
• This is how the presentation of each model takes place, but the popularity of the previous one does not fade with the advent of a new one.
• The iPhone is always ahead of other gadgets, and everything matters about it, but buyers are especially concerned about the screen size and dimensions of the smartphone.

Every year there is a presentation of a new smartphone from Apple, but last year two innovative models from this famous manufacturer saw the light - iPhone 7 and 7 plus. They differ from each other both in technical characteristics and in size. If you want to make a choice in favor of purchasing one or another model, then you need to study not only the technical parameters of the gadgets, but also their dimensions.

iPhone 4 is a device for those people who do not chase new products and prefer proven reliability. Its dimensions are small, but the quality of the filling is not inferior to newer models. In addition, this smartphone is also attractive for its reasonable price, which, in comparison with innovative gadgets of this brand, remains almost the main criterion for choosing this model.

Dimensions of iPhone 4:

iPhone 5 and 5S made from more innovative materials. A combination of metal and ceramic parts was used to create one of these models. Therefore, the weight of these smartphones is much less than the previous version, which cannot be said about the size.

Dimensions of iPhone 5:

Dimensions of iPhone 5S:

The iPhone 6 and 6S models are the same in size, but differ slightly in technical characteristics, but the 6 Plus is superior in size and other indicators. But still, manufacturers did not get too carried away with creating a smartphone with large dimensions, and a phone the size of a tablet would not surprise anyone now. Therefore, everything good in moderation.

Dimensions of iPhone 6 Plus:

iPhones 7 and 7 Plus differ in size, weight and screen size. All this is visible to the naked eye. Manufacturers did their best and created a truly real innovation in the field of gadgets. Users of these modern models have already appreciated all the advantages, but for those who are still choosing the smartphone of their dreams, here are the dimensions for comparison:

Dimensions of iPhone 7:

Dimensions of iPhone 7 Plus:

Any smartphone model from this manufacturer is worthy of attention and respect, but each person makes a choice in favor of one or another parameter. Some people prefer low prices, choosing later models, while others are chasing new technologies, and overpaying a lot of money, choosing the latest new products. Each person is individual, just like the iPhone model. This can be seen from the dimensions; there are almost no identical models.

Naturally, the dimensions of the phone are of great importance, but the size of the screen is considered no less important. After all, for many of us, a smartphone is both a desktop PC, a home theater and an e-reader. I want it to be convenient for reading blogs and messages on social networks, watching movies and playing my favorite games.

The diagonal of the phone is used to evaluate the degree of its coolness; the larger the diagonal, but within reason, the better. Accordingly, Apple also has its finger on the pulse and the latest model has a screen diagonal of 5.5 inches. But, if someone prefers a smartphone with a more modest size, then you can choose the model of previous years.

Nowadays, almost no one measures the diagonal of a phone in centimeters. Everyone is already accustomed to hearing about this parameter in inches, it’s more convenient and more understandable.

Comparison of iPhone 6, 6S, 6 Plus and 7 sizes in centimeters

If your choice is the latest iPhone models, but you can’t decide which one is better and which one to buy, then look at the comparison of iPhone sizes of models 6, 6S, 6 Plus and 7. The table is presented not in centimeters, but in millimeters, as is customary from the manufacturer. If you want to see the dimensions in centimeters, you will find them above in the article.

If you want to opt only for the 7th iPhone model, then compare the dimensions using the table above. We can say right away that the iPhone 7 Plus model is superior to the previous model in all respects: length, width, thickness and weight.

For those iPhone fans who need to choose between the fifth and sixth versions of Apple smartphones, we offer a comparison of the sizes of iPhone 5, 5S and 6, 6S, 6 Plus in centimeters:

Now that you know the sizes of all popular iPhone models, it will be easier for you to make your choice.

Video: iPhone 7 vs iPhone 6s – comparison and impressions

So, today we will talk about a topic that interests many Apple users. We will talk about the size of the iPhone, or to be more precise, we will consider all models without exception.

Today, smartphones are made so large that many people want to know everything in detail down to the millimeter. The reason for this is probably the different size of hands and I want to immediately know how comfortable the phone will be.

The article will be structured as follows, you can simply go to the desired model and find out about its dimensions, or go to the table and compare this indicator with other models.

Dimensions of first generation iPhones, 3G, 3GS

You can’t do without the very first iPhone, because it all began with them and this is part of history. Sometimes you come across people who use such phones and are completely satisfied with them.

Thanks to the small screen and compact body, the size of these smartphones was incredibly small. People with any hand size could use them, if you know what I mean.

• first generation: 115.5×61×11.6 mm;
• 3G: 115.5×62.1×12.3 mm;
• 3GS: 115.5×62.1×12.3 mm.

Oddly enough, at that time these were considered incredibly large gadgets and a lot of people wanted to get their hands on them. The requirements were completely different.

Dimensions iPhone 4, 4S

These two representatives were the last to be equipped with 3.5-inch screens. Nevertheless, they managed to gain quite a lot of popularity at that time.


Despite the very heavy weight, the glass case captivated quite a lot of people with its appearance and smartphones were sold like hot cakes.

• 4: 115.2×58.66×9.3 mm;
• 4S: 115.2x58.6x9.3 mm.

Steve Jobs said that this is the ideal size for a phone and that nothing larger is needed. But as it turned out in reality, the market began to dictate completely different rules.

Sizes of iPhones 5, 5S, 5C, SE

Although slightly, the size of smartphones has grown. The screens became 4 inches, but the design was still recognizable and elements of previous models were present.


The smartphone received the most dramatic changes at the back, because now it was solid aluminum and the phone began to look completely different.

• 5: 58.6×123.8×7.6 mm;
• 5S: 59.2×124.4×8.97 mm;
• 5C: 58.6×123.8×7.6 mm;
• SE: 58.6×123.8×7.6 mm.

There were a lot of memes about the extension of the previous generation phone. But as it turns out later, the 5S will become one of the most successful in design.

Dimensions iPhone 6, 6 PLUS, 6S, 6S PLUS

The time has come for global changes and Apple had to completely adapt to the market, real shovels began to appear.


We forget about the comfortable size of smartphones, because now the main criterion when choosing is the large screen. People are starting to sew new pockets in their pants.

• 6: 138.1×67×6.9 mm;
• 6 PLUS: 158.1×77.8×7.1 mm;
• 6S: 138.3×67.1×7.1 mm;
• 6S PLUS: 158.1×77.8×7.3 mm.

But as practice has shown, despite the not very successful design, everyone was happy to buy Apple and this line is in demand to this day.

Dimensions of iPhones 7, 7 PLUS

A new generation of smartphones has begun to appear, and as we see, there have been no significant changes in screen size, much less size.


They just changed the design a little and now it has become more neat. New colors have been added and many small interesting changes have appeared.

• 7: 138.3×67.1×7.1 mm;
• 7 PLUS: 158.2×77.9×7.3 mm.

For now, growth has stopped and it is very interesting what will happen next. After all, Apple likes to dictate its own rules, to which many manufacturers must adapt.

Comparison of all iPhone sizes in centimeters and inches

Finally, I would like to make a large comparison table, which will show the sizes of all iPhones in centimeters and inches.

Most publications use millimeters, so as per tradition, I will use them too. To make comparison easier, here are a couple of interesting points.

There are 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter, 1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters and logically, in 1 inch we have 25.4 millimeters.

Here is the plate itself, in which the first indicator is in mm, and the second in inches:

Model	Height	Width	Thickness
1st generation	115 mm (4.5 in)	61 mm (2.4 in)	11.6 mm (0.46 in)
3G	115.5 mm (4.55 in)	62.1 mm (2.44 in)	12.3 mm (0.48 in)
3GS	115.5 mm (4.55 in)	62.1 mm (2.44 in)	12.3 mm (0.48 in)
4	115.2 mm (4.54 in)	58.6 mm (2.31 in)	9.3 mm (0.37 in)
4S	115.2 mm (4.54 in)	58.6 mm (2.31 in)	9.3 mm (0.37 in)
5	123.8 mm (4.87 in)	58.6 mm (2.31 in)	7.6 mm (0.30 in)
5C	124.4 mm (4.90 in)	59.2 mm (2.33 in)	8.97 mm (0.353 in)
5S	123.8 mm (4.87 in)	58.6 mm (2.31 in)	7.6 mm (0.30 in)
S.E.	123.8 mm (4.87 in)	58.6 mm (2.31 in)	7.6 mm (0.30 in)
6	138.1 mm (5.44 in)	67.0 mm (2.64 in)	6.9 mm (0.27 in)
6 PLUS	158.1 mm (6.22 in)	77.8 mm (3.06 in)	7.1 mm (0.28 in)
6S	138.3 mm (5.44 in)	67.1 mm (2.64 in)	7.1 mm (0.28 in)
6S PLUS	158.2 mm (6.23 in)	77.9 mm (3.07 in)	7.3 mm (0.29 in)
7	138.3 mm (5.44 in)	67.1 mm (2.64 in)	7.1 mm (0.28 in)
7 PLUS	158.2 mm (6.23 in)	77.9 mm (3.07 in)	7.3 mm (0.29 in)

This is roughly what everything looks like and now you can comfortably compare all the necessary indicators. As for me, everything is done very conveniently.
