Apple's iPhone 7 plus is not just the company's largest smartphone but also the company's best one in years but at a time when many companies have proven that their best can be really good you'd wonder how much plus you're getting for that extra cash I'm hi Natalie that up with pocket now and let's find out in our iPhone 7 plus review brought to you by deep brand pocket house iPhone 7 coverage is brought to you by deep brand to buy the best fitting skin for your phone or tablet visit deep brand comm I'd like to call 2016 the year of choice today many phones have great design fast performance a great camera and the concept of dual lenses and cameras isn't really new Apple is actually late to some of these competitions something expected as Cupertino is famous for airing on the side of refinement so let's use refinement as the basis for this review hardware wise the iPhone 7 plus is as refined as it is mixed this continues to be one of the most solid and pleasant phones to hold thanks to the aluminum construction and 2.5 D glass if you choose any of the new black variants the finish is an interesting blend of badass and elegant that looks great up close and from a distance in many ways this is Apple refining a familiar design to a new level even if on a conservative side other refinements come at the hand of the ip67 water and dust resistance to survive under a meter of water for 30 minutes something Apple took forever to catch up on there's a new force touch home button here that might take a little getting used to if you come from an older iPhone but that's far more convenient than the standard capacitive keys that react to heat and not to an actual press if you're planning and keeping this iPhone for the long run this is one less moving part to worry about as well so I really praise the new approach now thanks get mix when you notice that essentials like making the rest of the buttons reachable is still a plus issue the camera hump makes the Wabble more than his predecessors on the table and yes even with a plus style thickness there is no headphone jack here your color of choice also determines other issues any color that is in black is prone to antenna lines and then the black variants are either prone to fingerprints or easily susceptible to scratches I'm personally more inclined to this matte black variant but each of you will have to pick your poison still there are a few new added tricks that make you forget about the design flaws and that's mainly because they're focused on refining content consumption the wider color gamut on the new red HD display provides punchy err color and deeper blacks than before and these are some of the best stereo speakers that we've tested so far but oh features matter to all users so don't let that be the reason for you to buy a product the experience extends to the ample volume for phone calls through the earpiece and even through the speakers Apple's new a10 fusion processor with three gigs of RAM runs the show underneath with to course providing powerful performance when graphics get intense and too coarse for day-to-day efficiency and given the fact that I will considers itself more of a software company that show that's powered by iOS 10 is also what makes the hardware disappear we have separate videos to detail what iOS 10 can do link in the description the ones I've enjoyed the most room actually the little things like 3d touch now including widgets to save me the need to dig within applications or subtle improvements like race to wake to keep up with notifications and then using 3d touch again to respond to them without the need of again digging into the application the keyboard is now smarter using series machine learning and since it now supports predictions of two languages without the need of switching around my needs of a clunky third-party keyboard are no longer a case speaking of Siri I like how you can now summon a lift with it or tell it to send the whatsapp to someone though third-party application support is still rather limited and above all my favorite feature is the integration with homekit I recently received some fancy new IOT products for my devices and now all I have to do is say good morning and Siri turns on the lights or say good night and Siri turns them off the new control center has also been enhanced to include a home kit area in addition to adding more room for the rest of the controls and even though I still avoid using Apple maps this update makes it really useful for using it with walking directions because it can actually tell you to go right or left as opposed to Google Maps which just doesn't and then there are the changes to iMessages Apple music and news which I'm not really a fan of but that do place these applications on par with competing services I've been testing the iPhone 7 plus in two different variants for nearly two weeks in New York City my experience with a 32 gigabyte version truly crashed and burned I mean seriously if you're gonna buy a phone this big you want to consume a lot of content and media or play a lot of games with it and 32 gigabytes just does not cut it as the 128 gigs of my black variant and everything else data speeds are great over t-mobile and the experience of using the iPhone is as expected with great fluidity in the user interface and stutter free performance when playing graphics intensive games this is also the king of battery life for content consumption going way over a day of heavy use and about the only thing that I don't like is how long it takes to charge we've discussed that in our 24 hours video about my only complaints with using this phone on a day to day basis or the fact that it's large so it's really hard to handle with one hand and two is the fact that well there is enough space here for a headphone jack Apple should have seriously considered leaving this as a plus feature the whole topic of fumbling around with adapters leads to a very cumbersome experience and sure there are some Bluetooth options but inline controls for the average Bluetooth headset are really not at a friendly spot for phone calls so it also leads to another cumbersome experience now one of the major changes that Apple made is with the camera Apple finally took the plunge to newer specific Asians like a 12 megapixel sensor with F 1.8 aperture and optical image stabilization but if one camera isn't enough for you there's a separate twelfth megapixel telephoto lenz at f 2.8 aperture for 2 X optical zoom and 10x digital zoom when taking photos I highly suggest you watch one separate real camera review linked in the description as well as we dig deep into what these cameras can do as for an average consumer I'm really happy to see that once again I could trust an iPhone with my photos and that's because we have great color saturation contrast in detail whether it's during the day or at night this is truly a great smartphone camera to rely on I also love the smooth civilization on video and how easily the camera transitions from one lens to the zoom lens oh and if you do see jitter while filming or taking a photo while fully zoomed in no worries somehow this just doesn't make it to the final footage really my only complaint with the camera experiences the selfie camera which has a very dated field of view at a time when wide-angle selfie cameras are the standard to conclude I guess the last question left on the table is if it's really worth it to get an iPhone 7 plus I mean seriously this phone starts at 750 dollars and I had to make the jump to nearly $900 plus taxes because the 32 gigabytes were just not enough that's a lot of money in today's world for a smart phone especially one that's not significantly greater than everything else that's out there sure you can't deny that this still is the greatest iPhone you can get and probably the most pleasant experience I've had with an iPhone in a while if you value great experience for consuming content insane battery life a robust ecosystem great customer service and one of the best cameras in the industry then I would really recommend getting the iPhone 7 plus so long as you don't mind the price tag and hey listen if you can't don't worry this is 2016 the market is flooded with similar alternatives that can fit your needs depending on your ability to compromise again the iPhone 7 plus is a great phone that I highly recommend but it's not the only great phone in the market right now Pacquiao's iphone coverage is brought
