Is the iPhone 7
Plus Worth It? #Helpful Post
as
the 10th edition of what is literally
the
most popular piece of technology in
the
world there's a lot of hype around
the
new iPhone 7 is it worth it
hey
guys is Austin and it's safe to say
there
is a lot of hype riding on these
two
phones
don't
let the 7 name fool you these are
almost
identical-looking to the 6 and 6s
at
first glance you're still getting the
same
sized 4.7 and 5.5 inch displays on
the
7 and 7 Plus which is an interesting
choice
the easiest way to spot the
differences
around back where the 7 has
a
noticeably larger camera hump and the
plus
has an even bigger one the largest
change
though is what isn't on the phone
and
something else that's I think super
divisive
is the lack of the headphone
jack
no way so oh yeah I don't know if
you
noticed but there's actually no way
you're
right yeah
Apple
has a long history of killing
Poor's
before people are ready however
they
may have taken a step too far with
the
headphone jack to make up for this
they
include a set of lightning ear pods
along
with an adapter to plug normal 3.5
millimeter
headphone in the ear pods are
well
their ear pods they're totally fine
but
they aren't replacing your high-end
cans
any time soon
to
be fair the headphone adapter works
exactly
as you'd expect plug it into the
phone
and your headphones will sound
exactly
like on previous iPhones however
its
small and easy to lose you'll
probably
end up needing another but at
least
they're only $9 headphone makers
haven't
been shy about making their own
lightning
headphones though and some of
them
are actually pretty good you're
definitely
paying a premium but at least
you're
getting quality your other
options
are bluetooth headphones in
addition
to the sod selection that have
been
around for years like the Jaber
freedom
Apple are about to have their
own
option available air pods
there's
a lot of good things with the
air
pods and the you know the newbies oh
yes
you tried the air pods right what do
you
think about the air pods I think
they're
crazy expensive they're way too
much
money these are fully independent
ear
pods that rely on Apple's new w1
ship
to make syncing as seamless as
possible
that same chip has made its way
into
the new beats solo 3 headphones and
it
really is dead simple to connect with
the
ability to move between devices that
are
connected via iCloud the solo 3
sound
like beats for good and bad but at
least
the tech inside works actually use
the
iPhone 7 though and you'll find a
few
problems with this wonderful new
future
if you want to listen to music
over
aux-in charge at the same time
you'll
need the Apple lightning dock
which
looks cool but runs a hefty 50
dollars
it's not all bad news on the
audio
side though
in
addition to the bottom firing speaker
from
the last iPhone you now get an
interesting
stereo setup with the
earpiece
also working as a speaker but
we've
seen these other phones with
bezels
the same size and these huge
speakers
that sound phenomenal so yeah
good
improvement would like that to
continue
one change that feels
incredibly
weird at first is the new
home
button unlike before this actually
isn't
even a real button at all turn the
phone
off and you realize is just a
piece
of glass that doesn't move with
the
phone on though it uses a tactic
engine
that vibrates to give the
illusion
of an actual button press I
feel
like it's like it's 90% there but
for
a button I excited to work 100% of
the
time right right right
and
if you have anything on your finger
yeah
there's no ways gonna work there is
one
upside to the lack of a headphone
jack
the iPhone 7 is now water-resistant
it's
not fully waterproof ready to be
under
a meter of water for 30 minutes
you
should probably leave the iPhone
behind
on your next scuba diving
excursion
but for a quick dip in the
pool
it should be fine or at least
that's
what I would have said if I
getting
that last shot didn't kind of
kill
the phone so didn't realize until
this
morning however the home button now
is
being really inconsistent sometimes
it
works but the taptic engine is way
off
so I'm getting all kinds of weird
sort
of feedback over the bigger issue
is
with the camera so if you look around
back
you'll see that especially the main
camera
lens is seriously fogged up
there's
definitely some water that's
gotten
inside the foam that's that quite
as
bad when you look at the telephoto
lens
or if you try to take a picture
it's
pretty blurry so you know the
second
camera clears things up a little
bit
however even with the front-facing
camera
you can see that there's
definitely
ooh there's definitely a lot
of
condensation in there which is
disappointing
this
phone is rated to be under a meter
of
water for 30 minutes however after
being
under about two inches of water
for
30 seconds it was enough to do some
serious
damage to be fair this is
probably
an isolated incident with my
phone
as I've seen a lot of other water
tests
where people have had the iPhone 7
underwater
for hours and spent totally
fine
or next time you decide to get your
iPhone
7 wet you may want to think twice
something
else they can be a pain to
deal
with is the new jet like finish it
first
lanes it looks pretty killer with
a
serious polish but it absolutely
attracts
fingerprints and tiny scratches
even
Apple admits that you should
probably
use a case with it which isn't
exactly
encouraging for the long-term
durability
personally I prefer the matte
black
finish on the 7 it still looks
nice
but it handles minor wear and tear
a
lot nicer both of the new iPhones are
also
rocking some serious power
inside
you'll find the new a 10 fusion
chip
which uses a pair of high-powered
CPU
cores along with two that are more
focused
on battery efficiency I have no
complaints
in terms of performance I saw
just
be tested obviously
you
can see how quickly it moves is it
actually
best moving between apps you
know
it's like the no-brainer the plus
does
have a slight advantage when it
comes
to memory with three gigs of RAM
compared
to two on the normal seven but
it's
hard to note as much difference in
real
use thankfully Apple has also
bumped
up the storage options
the
base model now starts with 32 gigs
with
options to go up to 128 and 256
gigabytes
the bigger difference is in
battery
life the seven plus still easily
last
me through a full day and then some
but
the seven has seen a big improvement
to
nearly magic while it's not exclusive
to
the new iPhone iOS 10 is a big
improvement
with a pretty solid facelift
iOS
is looking better than it has in
years
the super flat design of iOS 7 has
been
toned down a bit and the entire
interface
feels like it's been coated in
an
extra layer but I have noticed a few
crashes
here and there but there's no
denying
that these are some of the
fastest
phones out there another area
where
things have improved is in the
camera
Department the iPhone 7 now has a
new
brighter F 1.8 aperture lens which
brings
in about 50% more light compared
to
the success
it's
a noticeable upgrade there's a
slightly
shallower depth of field and
low-light
and seen a big jump which is
helped
by the addition of optical image
stabilization
on the regular 7 in
addition
to the 7 plus autofocus is also
incredibly
quick it's right on par with
the
galaxy s7 as the fastest focusing
phone
out there right now pictures are
nice
and sharp with very pleasant color
Apple
has always hit a nice middle
ground
between punchy and over-the-top
and
this is no exception
when
the note 7 and well s7 edge camera
first
came out I was comfortable saying
that
that was the best actually on any
smart
phone now that the seven cameras
come
out it's a close one into AI so
that's
really impressive for both of
them
the iPhone 7 is rocking a new 7
megapixel
front-facing camera and it's
really
not bad the improvements in color
have
also come across to the selfie
camera
and while it's still not as wide
as
the terrific front-facing cameras on
the
s7 and note 7 it's a nice
improvement
where you'll notice a bigger
difference
is with the new telephoto
camera
that's been added to the 7 plus
it's
a 2 time zoom compared to the main
camera
which can give you some very
different
perspectives when shooting
without
relying on digital zoom Apple
has
done a good job of making switching
between
the two cameras seamless however
the
telephoto camera
just
can't match the quality of the main
shooter
it has a smaller aperture and
it's
a physically smaller sensor which
hurts
especially in low-light on the
other
hand video on both the seven and
seven
plus or absolutely top-notch the
stabilization
is the best in the
business
right now even when shooting in
4k
and the slow motion options deliver
some
really cool results on one hand the
iPhone
7 is a solid improvement you're
getting
blistering performance water
resistance
improved cameras and better
battery
life on the other though you
have
a nearly identical design in the
total
lack of a headphone jack borders
on
a deal-breaker for some as always
they're
expensive and not for everyone
but
if you're looking for some of the
best
phones out right now the iPhone 7
and
7 plus are worth it so what do you
guys
think about the iPhone 7 let me
know
in the comments below and
definitely
be sure to subscribe to the
channel
to catch more is it worth it
episodes

so
much for watching and I will catch
you

iPhone
12 is 12 times more revolutionary
than
the iPhone 9 we'll see that so I
thought
but then that would make me it
wait
what 9 yeah the actual number of
sub
pixels is not a crazy difference
between
that and 1080p what was that I
think
there's a cat
