On September 8th, a first ever video of the iPhone 7 was released on the Apple twitter page.
Here’s the #AppleEvent where Apple released its first ever video of the iPhone 7:

The released phone announced that it includes:
1. 5 Available colors
The traditional rose gold, gold and now with the introduction of its two newest colors, both shades of black; matte and glossy finish.
2. New home button
The home button may look the same, but it features a new solid-state design. But sources say, the button doesn't work without skin contact, so don't wear gloves while using it!
3. New better retina Camera
It's great for low light photos and there's a new additional duo-camera which allows for optical/digital zooms.
4. Longer battery Life
5. Dust and Water RESISTANT!
Which does not mean that the phone is water proof! Which is what people do not pay close attention to. This simply means that water will spill off phone, not that you can swim/ take underwater pictures with your phone.
The difference between “water-resistant,” and “waterproof” is that “water-resistant” means that water cannot penetrate an object completely, but there is a chance that water eventually can get into the materials of an object. An object cannot fully be protected from water when it is resistant, water can pass through the pores in an object. While “waterproof” means that water is completely useless against something. It means that an object can be fully submerged into water and even overtime water will not get through an object’s pores, keeping it [object] 100 percent dry.
6. Wireless headphones (AirPods)
Say goodbye to the headphone jack because Apple has introduced its newest concept, wireless (Bluetooth) headphones [AirPods]. However, the iPhone 7s do come with the classic apple EarPods, they’ve just been redesigned with a lightning port instead of the traditional 1mm jack. But, if you’re feeling a little bit adventurous, Apple has introduced their first ever wireless headphones called the AirPods.
Even though some of Apple’s newest features don’t make the iPhone 7 that much different than its predecessor the iPhone 6, will this defer some people from getting the iPhone 7? Guess we’ll have to wait and find out!
