The phone has come along way. From the first telegram to the first iPhone, phones have always played a huge role in our lives. Sometimes it's hard to look away from them, they can be addicting. However, in this article I am not going to talk about how addicting phones can be, the iPhone 7 is out! Some know about the features and some don't. I personally, do not yet have the iPhone 7, because it does not have a headphone port, which I think is especially weird.
Let's start with the first iPhone, it was small and could easily fit in your pocket. Then we advanced all the way to the iPhone 6, it was large. The original cell phone was quite large so it only makes since that the rest of the iPhone would be larger as well. But how did we go from such small iPhones to big ones is my question. However, according to digitaltrends.com, the iPhone 7 looks very similar to the iPhone 6, which makes sense because all of the newer iPhones are starting to look the same. But I want to talk about the features of the iPhone 7. The iPhone 7 according to digitaltrends.com, the difference that everyone is talking about is that the iPhone 7 does not have a headphone jack, crazy right?! Yet to fix the no headphone jack problem Apple has replaced it with speakers and an adapter to listen to headphones.
Although some people I have talked to are upset about the no headphone jack, there are some positives about the iPhone 7, it is said that it is water and dust resistant, which means according to digitaltrends.com, you can take it under 1 meter of water. Personally though, I would not intentionally take my phone underwater.
It is recommend by Apple on digitaltrends.com, that users get a case for the back of the iPhone 7 because they say it is just as hard on the back as Android phones.
The camera of the iPhone is pretty great according to digitaltrends.com, the camera itself can is a 12 megapixel camera, and can take slightly better pictures than the iPhone 6, but Apple is still testing the camera.
Personally, I will get the 6 before I get the iPhone 7 because the 6 still has the headphone jack and the camera is just as good. I use my camera the most out of everything, and I listen to music on my phone a great amount of the time. However, if you are already used to just listening to speakers and don't take a lot of pictures the iPhone 7 may be just what you are looking for.
Let's talk about the reviews of the iPhone 7 and see what the people have to say about it! According to cnet.com, people that said it was good like it because the camera is better and it has a longer battery life. The people who are unimpressed dislike it because there is no headphone jack and the camera scratches easily. However, when it comes down to it people have said ask yourself if you really need an upgrade before you get one and really look over the pros and cons of each phone.
Personally, I carry an iPhone 5s, it still works just as good as the newer phones and the camera is a lot better than the iPhone 4. If you have an iPhone 4 still I would recommend getting a newer phone because just a few months ago I had one and my battery life was so slow and the camera wasn't that great on it anymore and the wifi was also super slow when I went into stores with free wifi. However, I have considered getting an Android at times because I think the camera is better as well as some other features on the Android.
But all in all, the iPhone has come along way, whether you're iPhone or Android, carefully look at the pros and cons of each phone before you purchase one and see what is best for you! So happy phone shopping!
