Design and body

The last two variants look chic and expensive. The design itself is reminiscent of the predecessor iPhone 6 and 6S, but with new interfaces on the body and new colors, there are still differences.

I am attaching iPhone photos 7 so you can get a good look new iPhone and a new design that will be relevant for the next 2 years.

Home button

The one and only “Home” button has a new one useful function gestures, which will find its own application for everyone. In fact, it is no longer a button, it is a touchpad that recognizes swipes and pressing force using Force Touch technology, like the touchpad in MacBooks. Rejoice, those whose “Home” button often fell into disrepair, you will no longer have to repair it and change it at repair shops. New mechanism will not have such problems, at least not frequently. And in general, with such a button, your iPhone will become even more convenient and faster to control.

Taptic Engine
The iPhone 7 has a third-generation Taptic Engine vibration motor. It works better, that's obvious. Most importantly, Apple has opened the Taptic Engine API to developers, which means that application developers will have access to the Taptic Engine and will be able to write their applications using Apple's proprietary vibration motor.

Waterproof

Finally, the iPhones will be 100% protected from moisture penetration and you can safely not be afraid of dropping your iPhone in the water or falling from the iPhones in your pocket into the pool. iPhone 7 is protected from moisture according to the IP67 standard, which means that the device can be safely immersed in water without fear. No need to be afraid of rain anymore. You can even safely take your phone with you into the bathroom or shower.

Camera

In the seventh iPhone, the camera has become significantly better. The camera resolution remains 12 megapixels, like the iPhone 6S. The camera has the same Quad Full HD video technology as in the iPhone 6S and improved low-light shooting with an f/1.8 aperture. 50% more light is received by the camera in dark shooting environments. The trick of Quad Full HD technology is that the iPhone 7 will be able to shoot video in 4K resolution. You will be able to shoot video with a resolution of 3840x2160px and a frame rate of 60 frames per second. The camera also received optical stabilization when shooting video, which is great, because... during shooting, the video will twitch less. The sensor is 60% faster and 30% more energy efficient. It will be possible to take photographs faster, but the battery will not be consumed very quickly when shooting. New sensor uses " machine learning" to improve the quality of the photo. Also, the camera received six lenses (previous iPhones 4S-6S used five), which contributes to a better optical effect and higher image quality.

The camera in the iPhone 7 is controlled by a separate special chip that performs 100 billion operations each time a photo is taken. Removes noise from the image, adjusts the white balance, and so on. The iPhone camera is gradually approaching the professional level of DSLRs. Of course, smartphones now have the ability to take photographs in RAW format. But the iPhone 7 can. Live Photo Now it will be possible to cut and process in third-party applications. The flash has True Tone technology, which makes objects less pale and tries to display shades more naturally.

The front camera received a resolution of 7 megapixels and a number of the same improvements. Which is very good for people who love to take selfies. The selfies will turn out to be of very good quality and high resolution. iPhone 7 is simply made for Instagram! Video bloggers can now easily record their videos on an iPhone 7 - with such-and-such recording quality!

iPhone 7 Plus camera

The large iPhone has two 12 megapixel cameras, one of which is responsible for the wide angle, and the second for the focal length. Optical zoom x2 and software zoom x10 will provide professional-level photos with well-blurred images. background. With the iPhone 7 Plus camera, you can take cool photos with the effect of a DSLR camera.

Display

The iPhone 7 display will have a larger color gamut and be 25% brighter than its predecessors. Which suggests that Apple has also updated the displays in the new iPhones. The image will be richer, brighter and clearer. 3D Touch technology has not gone away. iPhone 7 has two interpretations – with 4.7″ and 5.5″ displays.

Stereo speakers

The iPhone 7 has two speakers. And each is located at different ends of the device - below and above. Now you can watch a movie or just listen to music on two speakers at once, while getting cool, high-quality loud sound and a stereo effect. iPhones have always been famous for their sound quality and now, Apple continues to maintain this status.

Headphone jack

The iPhone 7 will no longer have the usual 3.5 mm headphone jack. Now, to connect headphones, you need to use the Lightning connector. Apple is already churning out new headphones with lightning, so you don’t have to worry about how to connect music. But the most interesting thing is that your headphones will not be lost! Because for every iPhone 7 in the box, Apple will put a special adapter from Lightning to 3.5 mm jack.

AirPods headphones

Following the exception of the 3.5 mm headphone jack from the iPhone 7, Apple has created completely new wireless AirPods headphones with its own chip inside! Apple W1 provides operation and control of all built-in sensors in the headphones. Work without recharging – 5 hours. The kit comes with a special compact case for your AirPods, which also serves as a power bank for headphones. With it, the duration of work increases to 24 hours. As soon as you took the headphones out of the case, they are already connected to your iPhone and Apple Watch. No buttons, only control via iPhone and Apple Watch. AirPods have a built-in microphone for talking on the phone, and the new headphones transmit sound better and better than the previous ones.

Performance

The seventh iPhone is equipped with a quad-core 64-bit A10 Fusion processor with clock frequency 1.4 GHz made using a 14-nanometer process technology, which allows you to increase processor performance, reduce its heat and power consumption. The A10 Fusion is 40% faster than the A9 in the iPhone 6S and 2x faster than the A8 in the iPhone 6. The A10 Fusion processor has a controller that switches between two modes. One for heavy tasks (games, photo, video processing), the other for simple ones (checking mail, calculator, organizer...). The graphics have also become more powerful. Apple claims this is the fastest processor in smartphone history.

The RAM in the iPhone 7 is 3 GB, let me remind you that the previous iPhone 6S had 2 GB. Since they started installing 2 GB of RAM in iPhones, Android smartphones have been installing 3-4 GB in their devices. Why is RAM increasing in smartphones? This is evidenced by the increasing quality of software. The resource intensity of applications is growing and the hardware in smartphones is becoming more productive. Persistent memory iPhone 7 will be 32 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB, depending on the model. iPhone 7 will run a mobile operating system, which will increase the autonomy and speed of the new device.

Battery

The iPhone 7 will last 2 hours longer than the previous iPhone 6S in all modes, which suggests that Apple has pushed good battery into a new iPhone, which not only offers new features and greater hardware power, but also lasts even longer than previous iPhone models.

Starting from iOS 8 and higher, you can determine which application consumes the maximum amount of energy. The information is located: “Settings”, then General > Usage > Battery Usage.

This section of the settings will provide information regarding the energy consumption of a particular application or various system services. It is important to note that an application with a high percentage of battery consumption does not mean that it is so. Perhaps you use this application very often, or if the application is running in the background, it downloads or uploads data to the network.

You should be concerned about applications that are on the top list of electricity consumers, but which you have not even used. iOS 8 provides information about which activities use the most energy, including services running in the background.

No. 62. Determine location only when using the application

In iOS 8, Apple added a new setting option in location services called " Only when using the application". This means that this app will only use location services when you are using this app and not all the time. This can be useful when working with applications such as App Store, which doesn't have the same need to use location services all the time.

It is possible to view which applications have used location services in Settings > Privacy > Location Services. Applications that have used your location are marked with a compass-shaped indicator. If you select an application from this list, you will see the option “ Only when used". Activate this option if you want the app to detect your location only when you are using the app. This ensures that the application will only use your location when it or one of its services is displayed.

Please keep in mind that this option is available for native applications and for some third-party applications. However, we expect third-party apps to have this option once they are optimized to run iOS 8.

No. 63. Update the app in the background

Update data in the background Allows the application to update while in the background. This feature improves the user experience with applications such as RSS clients, news applications and others, which can download the latest data in the background so that you do not have to waste your time updating content when you launch the application. Although Apple optimizes this process as much as possible to reduce power consumption, it is likely that this process reduces battery life, especially on older iOS devices. To disable this functionality, go to “Settings”, select “ General > Background Update and disable this feature for applications such as Facebook or other applications that do not have any pressing need to constantly update their data in the background.

iOS 8 or higher offers tips to its users on how to increase battery life depending on the user's operating practices. For example, the system will advise the user “Reduce display brightness”, “Enable Auto-lock” and other. To find out what tips Apple offers to increase battery life, you need to go to "Settings", then " Basic» > Usage > Battery Usage.

Siri is personal assistant from Apple, which is called by long pressing the Home button. He is quite capable of completing many tasks. Click on the "?" to find out what kinds of questions you can ask Siri.

No. 66. Hands-Free Siri (UsingSirino hands)

If your device is connected to a power source, instead of pressing the Home button, you can simply say, “Hey Siri.” This will activate the Siri service. Now you can ask questions. There are solutions for voice activation of Siri in moments when.

No. 67. Making Siri respond faster

To make Siri answer a question faster, simply hold down the Home button while you ask your question and release it when you're done speaking. Since Siri won't have to identify when the question ends, you'll get the answer to the question faster.

No. 68. Enabling or disabling various operating modes of the System

Siri can turn on or off various system services, such as Airplane mode (turn on only), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Do Not Disturb, and more. All you have to do is say “Turn on Wi-Fi,” “Turn off Bluetooth,” and the like. You can also adjust the screen brightness using Siri. To do this, use commands such as “Increase brightness” or “Decrease brightness”.

You can also open the settings panel of an app that uses Siri capabilities. While in an application, say “Open Settings” to bring up the settings panel for that application. Alternatively, you can say: “Open settings<название приложения>”, for example, “Open Safari Preferences” and the result will be the launch of the Safari Preferences panel.

No. 69. Make Siri pronounce your name correctly

You can tell Siri that she's not pronouncing your name correctly. You can simply say, “That's not how my name [any name] is pronounced,” to begin the learning process. During training, the system will ask you to pronounce the name several times, and then ask you to choose the most correct pronunciation of this name in its performance, depending on how you yourself pronounce this name. After this, the system will continue to use only the correct pronunciation option. Siri itself may ask you to initiate the process of learning to pronounce your name if it considers that it is having this kind of difficulty.

This option is offered for inclusion during the initial setup procedure of your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. You can also change these settings in the Settings panel > Display & Brightness > Overview. You can choose between Standard and Zoom views.

In the Standard view, the iPhone 6 Plus runs at 2208 x 1242 pixels, which at 3x zoom gives a resolution of 736 x 414 pixels. In Standard view, the iPhone 6 runs at a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, which at 3x zoom gives a resolution of 667 x 375 pixels.

In Zoom View mode, the iPhone 6 Plus behaves like a virtual iPhone 6 screen, but with 3x retina resolution, which when interpolated results in a resolution of 2001 x 1125 (virtual) pixels. Below are some screenshots that give a clearer idea of ​​the difference between the "Large" and "Standard" screen modes of the iPhone 6 Plus. In Zoom View mode, the iPhone 6 behaves like the virtual screen of the iPhone 5s, but with 2x retina resolution, which when interpolated gives a resolution of 1136 x 640 pixels.

Thus, each iPhone's "Large" screen mode displays the same Standard mode UI of the previous, smaller iPhone model.

In the past year 2016, Apple pleased its fans with a new product. The iPhone 7 model has entered the market. Modern design and a thin body are not all the differences between the iPhone 7 and previous versions. This smartphone has new features, an improved camera, powerful battery. And these are not all the advantages noted by users in the iPhone 7.

How does the seventh iPhone differ from other versions? mobile gadgets from Apple - read the review below.

The gadget of the seventh version was released in 5 colors:

• light gray;
• pink;
• golden;
• matte black;
• glossy black.

The dark versions of the seven, which are chosen by users more often than others, look especially impressive and stylish. In addition, black color is also practical and marks of scratches and chips are less visible on it.

The device has become a little thinner, but in general, in appearance it resembles its closest predecessor – the iPhone 6.

Home Button: New iPhone Features

This button has found new feature gestures, and now recognizes pressure. If on the previous version of the gadget users often had the problem of this button breaking, then this is unlikely to happen with the seven.

With the improved button, the iPhone has become even more convenient to use. The owner of the device can navigate the phone easily and quickly.

Moisture protection in the new iPhone 7

The new device differs from previous versions of Apple smartphones in that it is now 100% waterproof. Now, if the owner of the device accidentally drops it into the water, for example, while in the pool, this will not affect the operation of the gadget in any way.

The Seven has moisture protection according to the IP67 standard. This means that you can confidently talk on the phone in the rain and not be afraid of dropping it in water, for example. While on vacation in nature.

Camera: the main differences between the seven and other versions

If you think about the features of the iPhone 7, anyone who uses this phone model will probably name the camera. Compared to previous versions, it has become much better.

The camera resolution remained the same as that of the six, i.e. 12 MP. The shooting technology also remains the same - Quad Full HD. But the camera in the new model began to perceive 2 times more light when photographing in the dark.

The video, shot on an iPhone 7, is of the highest quality and resembles not amateur, but professional footage. Video resolution – 4K, frequency – 60 frames/sec.

Other features of the iPhone 7 camera are:

• optical stabilization;
• increasing the speed and energy efficiency of the sensor – by 30 and 60%, respectively;
• “machine learning” technology;
• presence of 6 lenses.

All of these advantages allow you to take high-quality photographs.

It should be noted that the camera in the seventh iPhone is controlled by a special chip, which performs about 100 billion operations at the time of taking one frame. This includes removing noise, adjusting white balance, and much more.

The front camera of the new device has also undergone changes. The camera resolution has become 7 MP, which is quite good. For selfie lovers, this is just a godsend. iPhone 7 users have already noted the high quality of photographs taken by the front camera of this device. The same can be said about video bloggers, who can successfully record excellent-quality videos on a smartphone.

iPhone 7 display: image quality

Screen new version The iPhone has become brighter - by 25% than the six. Apple Company paid a lot of attention to updating displays in new device models.

3D Touch technology still works.

The Seven is available in two variations – with 4.7″ and 5.5″ displays. Of course, prices for different devices vary.

Sound on iPhone 7

The gadget is equipped with 2 speakers, one of which is located on top, the other on the bottom. While listening to music or watching movies, you can turn on both speakers at once, getting excellent sound output.

It should be fair to say that iPhones have always been different high quality sound, but the seven in this regard surpassed its predecessors.

The manufacturer removed the previous headphone jack in the 7, replacing it with new headphones with lightning. An adapter for connecting headphones is included with the device.

Another new product is headphones with wireless technology AirPods, which are also included with the gadget and are sold along with it. Their operation without additional charging is 5 hours. But that is not all. The headphones come with a case, using which the iPhone owner can increase the operating period of the headphones to 24 hours without additional charge.

iPhone 7 performance: what's changed

Performance features of the 7 include the following:

• quad-core 64-bit A10 Fusion processor;
• processor clock frequency - 1.4 GHz;
• operating speed is 40% higher than in version 6;
• presence of a controller;
• powerful graphics;
• most powerful processor, which was ever present in previous versions of smartphones.

RAM in the seven is increased by 1.5 times and amounts to 3 GB.

Battery power

The battery life of the 7 is 2 hours longer than that of the iPhone 6S version. Moreover, this property is preserved for all modes. This indicates that the battery of the new model has become significantly more powerful than that of previous versions of Apple smartphones.

Disadvantages of the Seven according to users

Like any, even the most perfect mobile device, the iPhone seven also has disadvantages. According to reviews from the owners of this model, the main disadvantages of the device are the following:

• Insufficient screen resolution, which is quite good, but upon closer examination, pixelation is visible. In addition, the display is fragile and easy to break.
• No headphone jack. The kit includes an adapter, but, as a number of users note, it is easy to lose and it does not look nice in combination with an expensive device and cool headphones.
• Screen not big enough. Here, users have to choose between the convenience of a small phone that can easily be placed in a pocket and a more convenient large screen - for example, like the 7 S.
• No notification indicator. At first glance, this is a trifle, but a number of iPhone 7 owners identified it as one of the main disadvantages of the gadget.
• Overcharge. Many who have decided to buy the Seven are sure that the price of the device is significantly inflated. Moreover, the buyer pays extra precisely for the brand, i.e. for the presence of the “Apple” logo on the back panel. But we are talking about the cost of the device in Russia, while in the USA its price is 20-13% less.

Prices for iPhone 7 in Russia

The 32GB RAM variant will cost users at least $650, the 128GB version will cost $750, and the 256GB version will cost $850. It makes no sense to convert the cost of a gadget into Russian rubles, because... its rate is constantly fluctuating.

Overall, iPhone 7 is a cool new product from Apple, significantly different from more earlier versions performance, battery power and camera. There are others in the seven cool features, such as 100% water-repellent properties, which makes it an indispensable gadget for fans of extreme photography. The appearance of the device, as well as the sound quality, is also excellent.

Tick-tock - this is how you can describe the release schedule of iPhones since the 3GS model. One year the iPhone is released with a new design and many new features. Next year a model will be released with the same design and a faster processor, as well as a number of new features. From year to year, this sequence remained unchanged, but now the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus appeared and disrupted the orderly course of events.

Apple believes that the design of the last two years remains relevant now, so the developers focused their attention on aesthetics, correcting some of the existing shortcomings in the appearance of their smartphones. Some changes are difficult to notice at first glance. The antenna strips are now located on the sides of the body rather than on the back. The 12 MP camera (two cameras in the case of the 7 Plus) is surrounded by an aluminum protrusion, extending beyond the body more than before. Apple did base model with 32 GB of flash memory instead of 16 GB, and the maximum became 256 GB of internal memory. Both models are exactly the same size as last year's, but are a few grams lighter.

Next, the list of changes starts to look more significant. If you are lucky, you will never know from personal experience that the case is protected from water and dust (IP67 standard). At a depth of no more than a meter, the devices can work for half an hour. Many competitors' smartphones have long had similar protection, allowing you not to worry about getting caught in the rain and without fear of dropping your smartphone in the bathtub. Unfortunately, liquid damage is not covered under Apple's warranty.

The Home button is no longer physical. When pressed, it responds to user input with vibration rather than a click. At the same time, it became more difficult to understand that the click took place. It may take a couple of days to get used to this button.

New color options for smartphones have appeared: matte black and shiny black. The first one looks like a typical black iPhone, hiding the antenna stripes from view. The second one does not feel like an aluminum device in your hands, but seems plastic. It looks as glossy and thin as the glass of the screen, a unity that gives it greater integrity.

Soon after you start using it, fingerprints and scratches appear. Without a case, it took less than a day for them to appear, which is facilitated by carrying them in a pocket and placing them on hard surfaces. Those who love the perfect look of the case can only buy a case or another smartphone.

As was said many times even before the announcement of new products, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 lost the 3.5 mm headphone jack that had been customary for decades. They got rid of it not only to increase the size of the battery and create a waterproof case, but also to follow Apple’s long-standing tradition of using its own proprietary connector where everyone else uses the standard version.

You can forget about listening to music and charging your smartphone at the same time, unless the headphones are wireless or you have a Lightning splitter. Apple wasn't the only company to ditch the old headphone jack. Motorola previously released two flagship smartphone with USB Type C for audio.

Screen and sound

The standard iPhone 7 is 4.7-inch again Retina screen HD, while the Plus has a 5.5-inch screen. Resolution and pixel density remain the same. Without trying to catch up with other manufacturers in the resolution race, Apple focused on displaying high-quality colors on the screen. The display supports the DCI-P3 color range, which displays more colors than the standard sRGB range. This means more vibrant and rich colors than before.

What does this mean when using the device every day? It depends on the user's vision. The difference between today's screens and last year's is not always obvious. Colors have become a little brighter, small shades make them more authentic - the sky is bluer, the sunsets are warmer, people's skin is more vibrant.

When working outdoors, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus screens have a new trick. An ambient light sensor is used to detect whether the unit is indoors. If not, the screen brightness increases to make it easier to see in sunlight. Alas, there is no TrueTone color temperature adjustment system from the tablet. iPad Pro.

New smartphones are the first with stereo sound (available on Android for a long time). Why this took so long is, as usual, unclear. Movies, podcasts and calls sound much better.

The adapter between the Lightning and 3.5 mm connector allows you to use existing headphones, the sound quality is no different compared to previous iPhones.

Camera

On the back of the smartphone there is an excellent camera with a resolution of 12 megapixels. The resolution has not increased compared to last year, the size of the sensor pixels has not become larger. At the same time, the quality of the photographs has improved, they have more details, the colors are more saturated and reliable.

The camera in the iPhone 7 captures more color information (which will come in handy given the increase in the color range of the screen). Photos are no worse than in the Galaxy S7 Edge. The latter has a larger viewing angle, but the iPhone's color reproduction seems more accurate. The exposure turns out to be better than the 6s. However, all smartphones take good pictures in the light, but what about in poor lighting?

It all depends on luck. The inclusion of optical image stabilization on both versions helps improve photo quality, as does the f/1.8 aperture. Photos from the Samsung S7 Edge look brighter, but they look more natural on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Previously, the S7 and Note 7 cameras seemed to be the best in smartphones, but now Apple is not inferior.

The front camera has also been updated. The resolution from 5 megapixels has increased to 7 megapixels, some features have been taken rear cameras. In short, selfie photos look better than before, as do videos, which also capture accurate colors.

The iPhone 7 Plus has a dual rear camera - a 12 MP wide-angle module and a 12 MP telephoto camera, which gives real zoom. Apple is far from the first company to try a dual camera module and use zoom; LG did the same thing earlier this year with varying degrees of success. Apple's approach seems more elegant - with a quick press you can switch between 1x and 2x zoom modes, you can use the slider or use two fingers. Digital zoom works up to 10x; The closer to the limit, the more noise there is in the images.

All this looks like a marketing quirk that not every user will need. In any case, the quality of the photos is excellent, although you can notice differences in the colors and exposure of the two cameras of the iPhone 7 Plus. The second of them has an aperture of f/2.8. It lets in less light, resulting in a different image that only experienced photographers will notice. For now, this is the only trick the 7 Plus doesn't have on the standard version, but that's about to change. Apple is going to update the model Plus opportunity change the depth of the image.

Software

The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus did not receive the most interesting hardware updates, but the iOS 10 operating system offers a lot of new things. public beta The system has been available for many months, we won't see any surprises.

It will take some time to get used to the redesigned Photos app. Previous version was very simple, allowing you to scroll through all the photos and look at the albums. The iOS 10 version uses machine learning to sort photos thematically based on where you were in the photos and what you were doing. The best innovation is keyword search.

It turned out to be easier to get used to the changed Music application. When you first boot, a library of music files opens, the icons are large and easy to press. The 3D Touch function is increasingly being used. It allows you to expand notifications, display context menus and show application widgets.

Apple uses the Taptic Engine vibration engine. It's used when working with 3D Touch and the Home button, when opening the control center, when scrolling through music, giving the feeling of turning your finger on a real page and making it easier to stop and make choices.

Now the bad news: we haven’t been able to test some of the features of iOS 10 yet. Siri's intelligence needs to improve thanks to third-party apps, but calling an Uber or sending money to a friend via Venmo isn't yet possible. The iMessage store is now almost empty.

Performance and autonomy

Another year brings a new A-series chip. iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are powered by the A10 Fusion processor, which has two fast cores and two energy-efficient ones that consume five times less energy. This is the fastest mobile processor in Apple history, beating out the A9X from the iPad Pro. The difference between 7 and 7 Plus lies in volume random access memory, 2 GB and 3 GB respectively.

For tests, data from backup copy with iPhone 6s and the difference was obvious. There is almost no delay when clicking on application icons, and switching between programs is also fast. Games like Warhammer 40,000: Freeblade, Submerged and Mortal Kombat X with high graphics requirements run without problems.

The 6s and 6s Plus do almost as well, but use more power. This is partly because the 6s battery has degraded over time, but the A10 Fusion's greater energy efficiency is undeniable. When working with a smartphone every day, you don’t have to think about performance.

It is impossible not to mention the batteries, the capacity of which has increased. One of the benefits of eliminating the headphone jack is that free space, causing the battery to increase by 14% in the iPhone 7 and 5% in the 7 Plus. In video tests when working on a Wi-Fi network with screen brightness at 50%, the iPhone 7 lasted 12 hours and 18 minutes, two hours longer than the 6s, and the 7 Plus lasted 14 hours and 10 minutes, an hour and a half longer than the 6s Plus.

	iPhone 7	iPhone 7 Plus	iPhone 6s	iPhone 6s Plus
3DMark Unlimited IS	37,663	37,784	24,601	27,542
Geekbench 3 (multi-core)	5,544	5,660	4,427	4,289
Basemark OS II	3,639	3,751	2,354	2,428

When working with the Slack, mail, Spotify and Hearthstone applications, the device lasts all day and even the next morning. The 7 Plus lasts even longer, at times two days with average usage, which is a noticeable improvement over the 6s Plus.

Conclusion

The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are the most technically advanced iPhones and the most controversial. Apple has improved the speed, camera, screen and battery, but each improvement on its own is underwhelming, although taken together they make a greater difference. But we won’t see that Apple, which is the locomotive of the smartphone market, this year.

If the buyer is not put off by what has become too familiar appearance and the lack of a headphone jack, then the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus can be considered a serious candidate for the title of best device of the year. The best, but not the most innovative. We have already seen many of the presented functions before in devices from other manufacturers. Other than eliminating the headphone jack, Apple hasn't made any surprise moves. There is nothing wrong with this, but now we can only think about what interesting things iPhones will bring in another year.

Pros and cons of iPhone 7

Of course, there are many features on the iPhone that we use. There are dozens of hidden conveniences in the iPhone that you might not be aware of. These are the best iPhone hacks you probably didn't know about. And so we went:

1. Reset on iPhone 7

You may not have noticed that the Home button on the iPhone 7 isn't actually a button, but a sensor. Tactful vibration feedback creates an impression physical button, but is not actually pressed. Therefore, it is completely useless to press it when the phone is frozen or turned off.

And you won’t be able to do the familiar Reset by simultaneously pressing two buttons, Power and Home. Instead, hold down the Power button and the Volume Down button at the same time. Your phone will reboot and start again.

2. Fast charging

Tired of waiting for your phone to charge? There is a way to speed up the charging process, and it's surprisingly simple - turn on Airplane mode! In this way, you will minimize the load on the battery and, as a result, charge as quickly as possible. When Airplane mode is turned on, the phone charges 30-40% faster, and this is already about half an hour.

3. Quick input in the address bar

When you enter the name of the site in the address bar, and then the URL suffix, for example: .ru, .com, .co, .uk, etc. spend some time. To simplify everything, everything has already been invented: after entering the site, hold down the “.” and all the URL suffixes you need will immediately appear. All you have to do is choose the one you need.

4. Your phone knows too much about you, turn it off

A bit of a dirty trick, your iPhone is always collecting data about you in the background - be it the apps you use the most, the amount of data, or even where and how long you were.

To disable, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services»> “Frequently visited places” and turn it off. Here you can see not only where you have been, but also how much time you spent in each place. Apple is really analyzing.

5. Additional tools

You probably filed the Compass app along with the Stocks and Find Friends apps in your Junk or Miscellaneous folder. Now you can pull it back out because it has a second function that will help in repairs or other situations.

No: Don't use your iPhone to hammer nails. Instead, swipe the Compass app from right to left to reveal a very useful digital “Level.” You can check whether that shelf or picture is actually hanging straight, or you can check the flatness of the table or floor.

6. How to lock focus in a standard camera

We all know that tapping the screen while taking a photo will set the camera's focus point, right? Fine. However, every time you move the camera after choosing focus, it changes.

Now, instead of just tapping the screen, tap and hold for a second or two until the AF Locked window appears. Now you can change the frame, rotate and move objects without losing focus.

7. How to create your own vibration

Have you ever wanted to determine who is calling you while your phone is still buzzing in your pocket? Now you can: In the Contacts application, select the desired contact and click “Edit”, then select “Ringtone”, select “Vibration”. Once you select it, you'll get a variety of vibration options, including a Create Your Vibe tool.

Create your own vibration - it's very simple, just press the screen as you would like to make the phone vibrate.

8. Siri training

Siri has a bit of a smug attitude - so there's nothing better than teaching her pronunciation. For example, how she sometimes mispronounces people's names or places the emphasis incorrectly. But now, if Siri says something wrong, just tell her so.

After she makes a mistake, say, "That's not right how you pronounce..." and you'll hear Siri ask you to pronounce the word with the correct accent and then check to make sure everything is correct.

9. Set Music to Automatically Mute

Enjoy listening to soothing music before falling asleep? Then you are probably very familiar with music playing at 3 am or until the early hours of the morning, draining your phone.

Now you can set your music on a timer. In the Clock app, go to Timer. Here, in the “When finished” tag, there is “Stop” at the very end. This will turn off the music, be it Apple Music or other players when the timer reaches zero.

10. Take photos without touching the screen

It often happens that you don’t immediately get into touch button“remove” or you close the display with your fingers and don’t see what kind of frame you’ll get. There are more convenient way- pressing any of the volume buttons while holding the phone by the edges and without covering the screen.
