What's New About the iPhone 7?
Everything Apple Pro

My new iPhone 7 (Rose Gold) arrived today. Being a iPhone fanatic, I have been so excited for the past few weeks. Unfortunately, after unpacking my new iPhone, I was disappointed. It has a similar size as my iPhone 6, and, unlike the iPhone 7 Plus, it didn't have a dual camera. The only things I noticed that were "innovative" were the removed earphone jack and the altered home button. Dejected after believing I bought the new version of the iPhone for no reason, I researched more ways that the iPhone 7 was creative and different from its previous models. The following are the negatives and positives of the features the iPhone 7 has.

1. Waterproof Phone

The durability of the phone has improved as it is able to last submerged in water for 30 minutes.

2. Extremely Minor Changes in the Display

The iPhone has been surpassed by other phone companies in terms of display feature, yet iPhone is still sticking to its display level of it iPhone 6S. Apple has, on the other hand, changed its display to a certain extent by increasing the peak brightness by 25%, widening the color range, and making better color management. It still does not match up to any of the recent models of the Samsung Galaxies.

3. Faster

The new phone performs 40% to 50% faster than its previous model. However, since the iPhone 6S was already so quick, I do not believe it will make much of a difference to consumers.

4. Photography

The most exciting feature of the iPhone 7 is its improved camera. Even though it does not have the dual camera like the iPhone 7 Plus, the camera of the iPhone 7 has significantly upgraded. The camera has a larger aperture and a four LED flash with warm and cool tones. This means photos will be much less blurry and take warmer picture when using flash.

Overall, I was less disappointed after reading about these improvements. The iPhone certainly has upgraded, but it still is not the innovative, revolutionary product that I was expecting from Apple.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
