iPhone stock is UP! Their new device, the iPhone7, launched on September 16, 2016. There’s a slew of fanciful improvements, along with an un-shiny new color (a new personal favorite).
How to use this new thing? Just like your old one, but here’s a smattering of tricks: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/iphone-7-tips-and-tricks/
Improvements you will notice:
- the display is 25% brighter, and supports richer colors
- better battery life, faster processor, stronger stereo sound
- the Home Button is digital, not mechanical. So the button can’t break (in the same way). No one likes rumors, but Apple may ditch the button completely with forthcoming phones. Before there’s an uproar, remember that Apple broke mobile phone trends when the first iPhone hit the market with only a single button.
“Improvements” you will hate:
- bye bye, headphone jack
- It’s water resistant, not waterproof. So your warranty won’t cover water damage.
- The sexy Jet black color scratches easily. So easily that Apple recommends a case, rendering the matte finish aesthetically useless.
