as the 10th edition of what is literally the most popular piece of technology in the world there's a lot of hype around the new iPhone 7 is it worth it hey guys is Austin and it's safe to say there is a lot of hype riding on these two phones don't let the 7 name fool you these are almost identical-looking to the 6 and 6s at first glance you're still getting the same sized 4.7 and 5.5 inch displays on the 7 and 7 Plus which is an interesting choice the easiest way to spot the differences around back where the 7 has a noticeably larger camera hump and the plus has an even bigger one the largest change though is what isn't on the phone and something else that's I think super divisive is the lack of the headphone jack no way so oh yeah I don't know if you noticed but there's actually no way you're right yeah Apple has a long history of killing Poor's before people are ready however they may have taken a step too far with the headphone jack to make up for this they include a set of lightning ear pods along with an adapter to plug normal 3.5 millimeter headphone in the ear pods are well their ear pods they're totally fine but they aren't replacing your high-end cans any time soon to be fair the headphone adapter works exactly as you'd expect plug it into the phone and your headphones will sound exactly like on previous iPhones however its small and easy to lose you'll probably end up needing another but at least they're only $9 headphone makers haven't been shy about making their own lightning headphones though and some of them are actually pretty good you're definitely paying a premium but at least you're getting quality your other options are bluetooth headphones in addition to the sod selection that have been around for years like the Jaber freedom Apple are about to have their own option available air pods there's a lot of good things with the air pods and the you know the newbies oh yes you tried the air pods right what do you think about the air pods I think they're crazy expensive they're way too much money these are fully independent ear pods that rely on Apple's new w1 ship to make syncing as seamless as possible that same chip has made its way into the new beats solo 3 headphones and it really is dead simple to connect with the ability to move between devices that are connected via iCloud the solo 3 sound like beats for good and bad but at least the tech inside works actually use the iPhone 7 though and you'll find a few problems with this wonderful new future if you want to listen to music over aux-in charge at the same time you'll need the Apple lightning dock which looks cool but runs a hefty 50 dollars it's not all bad news on the audio side though in addition to the bottom firing speaker from the last iPhone you now get an interesting stereo setup with the earpiece also working as a speaker but we've seen these other phones with bezels the same size and these huge speakers that sound phenomenal so yeah good improvement would like that to continue one change that feels incredibly weird at first is the new home button unlike before this actually isn't even a real button at all turn the phone off and you realize is just a piece of glass that doesn't move with the phone on though it uses a tactic engine that vibrates to give the illusion of an actual button press I feel like it's like it's 90% there but for a button I excited to work 100% of the time right right right and if you have anything on your finger yeah there's no ways gonna work there is one upside to the lack of a headphone jack the iPhone 7 is now water-resistant it's not fully waterproof ready to be under a meter of water for 30 minutes you should probably leave the iPhone behind on your next scuba diving excursion but for a quick dip in the pool it should be fine or at least that's what I would have said if I getting that last shot didn't kind of kill the phone so didn't realize until this morning however the home button now is being really inconsistent sometimes it works but the taptic engine is way off so I'm getting all kinds of weird sort of feedback over the bigger issue is with the camera so if you look around back you'll see that especially the main camera lens is seriously fogged up there's definitely some water that's gotten inside the foam that's that quite as bad when you look at the telephoto lens or if you try to take a picture it's pretty blurry so you know the second camera clears things up a little bit however even with the front-facing camera you can see that there's definitely ooh there's definitely a lot of condensation in there which is disappointing this phone is rated to be under a meter of water for 30 minutes however after being under about two inches of water for 30 seconds it was enough to do some serious damage to be fair this is probably an isolated incident with my phone as I've seen a lot of other water tests where people have had the iPhone 7 underwater for hours and spent totally fine or next time you decide to get your iPhone 7 wet you may want to think twice something else they can be a pain to deal with is the new jet like finish it first lanes it looks pretty killer with a serious polish but it absolutely attracts fingerprints and tiny scratches even Apple admits that you should probably use a case with it which isn't exactly encouraging for the long-term durability personally I prefer the matte black finish on the 7 it still looks nice but it handles minor wear and tear a lot nicer both of the new iPhones are also rocking some serious power inside you'll find the new a 10 fusion chip which uses a pair of high-powered CPU cores along with two that are more focused on battery efficiency I have no complaints in terms of performance I saw just be tested obviously you can see how quickly it moves is it actually best moving between apps you know it's like the no-brainer the plus does have a slight advantage when it comes to memory with three gigs of RAM compared to two on the normal seven but it's hard to note as much difference in real use thankfully Apple has also bumped up the storage options the base model now starts with 32 gigs with options to go up to 128 and 256 gigabytes the bigger difference is in battery life the seven plus still easily last me through a full day and then some but the seven has seen a big improvement to nearly magic while it's not exclusive to the new iPhone iOS 10 is a big improvement with a pretty solid facelift iOS is looking better than it has in years the super flat design of iOS 7 has been toned down a bit and the entire interface feels like it's been coated in an extra layer but I have noticed a few crashes here and there but there's no denying that these are some of the fastest phones out there another area where things have improved is in the camera Department the iPhone 7 now has a new brighter F 1.8 aperture lens which brings in about 50% more light compared to the success it's a noticeable upgrade there's a slightly shallower depth of field and low-light and seen a big jump which is helped by the addition of optical image stabilization on the regular 7 in addition to the 7 plus autofocus is also incredibly quick it's right on par with the galaxy s7 as the fastest focusing phone out there right now pictures are nice and sharp with very pleasant color Apple has always hit a nice middle ground between punchy and over-the-top and this is no exception when the note 7 and well s7 edge camera first came out I was comfortable saying that that was the best actually on any smart phone now that the seven cameras come out it's a close one into AI so that's really impressive for both of them the iPhone 7 is rocking a new 7 megapixel front-facing camera and it's really not bad the improvements in color have also come across to the selfie camera and while it's still not as wide as the terrific front-facing cameras on the s7 and note 7 it's a nice improvement where you'll notice a bigger difference is with the new telephoto camera that's been added to the 7 plus it's a 2 time zoom compared to the main camera which can give you some very different perspectives when shooting without relying on digital zoom Apple has done a good job of making switching between the two cameras seamless however the telephoto camera just can't match the quality of the main shooter it has a smaller aperture and it's a physically smaller sensor which hurts especially in low-light on the other hand video on both the seven and seven plus or absolutely top-notch the stabilization is the best in the business right now even when shooting in 4k and the slow motion options deliver some really cool results on one hand the iPhone 7 is a solid improvement you're getting blistering performance water resistance improved cameras and better battery life on the other though you have a nearly identical design in the total lack of a headphone jack borders on a deal-breaker for some as always they're expensive and not for everyone but if you're looking for some of the best phones out right now the iPhone 7 and 7 plus are worth it so what do you guys think about the iPhone 7 let me know in the comments below and definitely be sure to subscribe to the channel to catch more is it worth it episodes like this anyway guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one iPhone 12 is 12 times more revolutionary than the iPhone 9 we'll see that so I thought but then that would make me it wait what 9 yeah the actual number of sub pixels is not a crazy difference between that and 1080p what was that I think there's a cat
