hey how's it going guys this is Dave - Dee so I've been using the iPhone 7 for about a month now and some of the original opinions I had about the phone kind of shifted over time but one of them was the size like I really wanted to use the 7 plus because had a better camera had a bigger battery but I couldn't make a work a little bit too big for my hands I do want to share some other thoughts with you though everything is fast on the iPhone 7 from the fingerprint sensor to general usage to launching the camera everybody just feels really snappy but true multitasking still doesn't exist and that's probably my biggest bottleneck like if I'm in an email app and I'm trying to reference another application and going back and forth between the email app and the other app that process sucks it's just super slow the iPhone 7s have a really good camera but most of my shots are taken in well-lit environments and truthfully unless you zoom in and pixel peep the well-lit photos don't look that different from the iPhone 6s or even the iPhone 6 now the low-light capabilities are noticeably improved you can get some surprisingly good shots at night the video stabilization is really nice on previous generation phones you needed the bigger plus model to get OAS but they pack that into the smaller phone now and that's actually my favorite camera upgrade on the iPhone 7 comparatively this screen is low resolution at 720p I know that it's low res my brain is well attuned to the fact that this is probably the lowest resolution phone that I will use in 2016 but it still looks really good so I don't mind the resolution the iPhone 7 screens also have a wider color gamut they can display more of the colors so if the source picture or the video you're looking at has the extra color data in the file it will look more color accurate now the photo is taken on the iPhone 7 can showcase this extended color range but most of the time I'm staying at emails or basically other screens of text on a white background and almost all the content I consume hasn't adopted this water color gamut yet so the screen is great it just doesn't have the contents to really flex how cool it looks the solid state home button I disliked it at first I mean it felt weird and it doesn't have a particularly satisfying click but now I legitimately prefer I use setting 3 and it still feels different from a regular button but I like the reliability and if the rumors are true and they plan on replacing the home button with a tap tick on-screen button for the next iPhone I'd welcome that change I didn't think I'd care that much about the headphone jack removal it's kind of a bummer but I felt like there were enough alternatives like the wireless headphones and the dongle that you kind of get by but the one thing that really sucks for me is charging it at night I often fall asleep with headphones on and I'll end up having to charge it before work the next morning and it doesn't support like the super fast quick charge so yeah I don't love that battery life is still short Apple claimed it would last a couple hours longer but I can't last a full day of heavy use basically if you put in a lot of screen time on your phone you're gonna have to charge up in the evening when you get home now granted this is with the iPhone 7 the iPhone 7 plus obviously lasts much longer water resistance is cool it's nothing really new for flagship phones but the iPhone 7 sounds the best amongst that group that's actually one of very few phones that has two speakers and is also water-resistant they sound good on their own but I also connect it wirelessly when I'm doing dishes and I never have to worry about the phone getting wet I would actually go as far as to say that this combination of the upgraded speakers and the water resistance are my favorite features of the phone but I'm curious for the people that have been using the iPhone for a while what if your favorite features been let me know down in the comments so overall I really liked the iPhone 7 a lot more than I thought I would considering how the upgrade seemed kind of incremental on paper but in real world views they're actually quite welcome as for whether or not it's going to be the phone that I use for the rest of 2016 it really depends on how good the Google pixel is I'm going to be using that for about a month before I do my video on it but it's going to be one of the two either the iPhone 7 or the pixel because I'm all about that stock OS experience hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs if you liked it subs youview loved it it's been nice I'll see you guys next time you
