What is New in Apples Latest iPhone Offering?
BENGALURU: Samsung ended up recalling their sold Galaxy Note 7 phones after numerous reports of its battery exploding surfaced. The most recent incident was that a man’s jeep was set on fire after his Samsung phone exploded. The company apparently got trolled on the internet. That was until Apple’s iPhone 7 launch, which lacked innovative offerings to disappoint many users.
Both iPhone 7 and 7 Plus would be available in India from October 7. Although official announcements has not been made regarding the pricing as of yet, it is speculated to be starting from INR 60,000. A couple of modifications that annoyed users was the phones getting away with earphone jack and dimension change in the charging slot making it impossible to use old version chargers to charge the iPhone 7.
OnePlus, an emerging Android smartphone maker from China tweeted: “You have headphones. The #OnePlus3 has a headphone jack. It’s not rocket science ;)”. The wireless headphones which Apple brands as Apple AirPods can last up to 5 hours after a charge. The chips in AirPods can detect speech, activate Siri and automatically pauses when taken out of the ear. A 15 minute charge would guarantee three hours of performance, as per the official website. But it appears what people really wanted was wireless charging capability for the iPhone 7.
However, to listen to songs whilst charging would require a $49 lightning dock accessory as it features an integrated headphone jack. Mobile accessory specialist Belkin has unveiled AN alternative — the Lightning Audio + Charge RockStar adaptor whose availability in India is as of now pretty doubtful.
The iPhone 7 Plus has a dual camera at the rear meant to capture better imagery(2X optical zoom and 10X digital zoom) and new stereo speaker system which as Apple boasts is two times louder than iPhone 6S. The camera set up of both the phones is 12MP and 7MP HD capability with optical image stabilization and flash. And both the offerings also come at black and jet black colors (is Apple adopting a Blackberry strategy?). Being powered by a quad-core A10 Fusion processor embedded with two high-efficiency high-power cores each. Apple claims the battery will have at least two hours life more than the earlier versions. It is also important to note that there are no 16 and 64 GB variants of the iPhone 7 that leaves buyers with 32GB, 128GB and 256GB variants. A fingerprint sensor has also been built into the home button. The launch also saw the introduction of Apple Series 2 Watches.
It would also appear that the only significant difference between the 7 and 7 Plus model is the presence of dual camera in the latter model while there isn’t even additional RAM allocation to the 7 Plus to cater to the needs of a dual real camera. It looks like Apple is in a serious lack of innovation as opposed to the Steve Job’s era. We ask: What is New in Apples latest iPhone Offering?!?
