Cat's out of the bag, iPhone 7 is out and the rumors about missing headphone jack, that took most part of the year, is now confirmed. It is indeed one of the hottest smartphones in the market today and the fans are already lining up to upgrade their old iPhones to the new one. A new handset will set you back by $800 and many argue that upgrading may not be the smartest choice you make today.
According to recent reports, there is little to no change in the iPhone 7, as far as its design is concerned. The new iPhone is perhaps a sleeker version of its predecessor, minus the headphone jack. It does, however, feature improved battery life and has a new home button. The best selling point is the much hyped iPhone front and back camera, which is also obviously better than its previous models. But are these points enough to warrant an upgrade? The sad part is that some may not even be to tell iPhone 7 apart from iPhone 6, unless they see it up close.
Industry critics say that apart from minor, albeit interesting, updates, iPhone 7 is nothing but a slightly improved iPhone 6, only pricier. It doesn't have the good old headphone jack, much to its fans' chagrin.
For all those who are still sore about the missing headphone jack, Apple has a solution for you. They are now providing high quality Bluetooth wireless AirPods that offer better music listening experience, without the hassles of an entangled wire.
Despite moderate review, Forbes says that iPhone 7 design is a milestone for upcoming smartphones and their future design. By removing headphone jack, Apple not only made its iPhone more exclusive to Apple hardware but also made room for better sound quality and encouraging bold design innovation in upcoming models.
