so anytime Apple announces another live event you know that's your signal to hold your breath and see which one of your AI devices will be rendered no longer cool by an updated version that's a little thinner and has a slightly higher pixel dish so behold the iPhone 7 so what has Apple done to differentiate it from the iPhone 6 and 6s which released to great fanfare due to the long-awaited 4.7 inch screen well the most obvious change is Apple's decision to ditch the conventional 3.5 millimeter headphone jack in favor of a single lightning connector but why get rid of such a mainstay of portable electronics no the answer isn't courage despite what Apple said in their product reveal and got roundly lambasted by basically everyone with a social media account apple claims that removing the headphone jack saves space inside the iPhone making it easier to include as many other features as possible such as the barometric vent that they added to determine altitude or perhaps to make the 159 US dollar Wireless air pods and easier sell now of course there's a great deal of speculation that Apple might have done this since it now owns beats which is a huge player in the bluetooth headphone scene or that they might have done it to boost the popularity of lightning headphones which third-party companies would have to pay royalties to Apple in order to manufacture whatever the real reason may be you'll need to use an included adapter if you want to keep listening to 3.5 millimeter analog headphones charging and listening to music through wired headphones at the same time will require purchasing a third-party adapter not the most elegant solution and speaking of removing features the physical home button that can actually be pressed downward is a memory as well as Apple has switched to a touch only home button that incorporates apple's taptic engine that will give the user haptic feedback pretty cool and likely less prone to failure though some folks will definitely miss a physical button but a change much more likely to be welcomed by all is the addition of stereo speakers so not won't sound like the audio is just awkwardly coming out of one side of the phone when you're watching a video in landscape mode Apple is also claiming that the speakers will get twice as loud as an iPhone 6s so hopefully you won't have to say you know sorry that's as loud as it goes to your friends nearly as often as before the camera also gets an upgrade with the iPhone 7 including both image stabilization since many of us aren't that good at keeping our hands still when snapping pictures myself included and a larger aperture for better low-light performance if you opt for the larger phablet style iPhone 7 plus you actually get two rear cameras with the extra lens featuring real actual optical zoom so it can act as a telephoto lens so what's under the hood to power it all Apple's new a 10 SOC features the first quad-core CPU we've seen in an iPhone with two cores assigned to everyday tasks well the other two consume more power and are leveraged when you're pushing the iPhone while doing things like gaming throw in some water resistance a new glossy jet-black finish that could either look cool or be inevitably a fingerprint magnet and a slightly longer battery life and the iPhone 7 ends up being a not insignificant upgrade from the 6 and 6s but is it worth the premium that Apple charges especially with even many diehard Apple fans lamenting the loss of the headphone jack keep an eye on the Linus tech tips channel for a full review of the iPhone 7 as well as an upcoming tech quickie episode on its new operating system iOS 10 brain trees V dot 0 SDK makes mobile payments fast easy and seamless you can add it to your app with just a few lines of code and you're instantly ready to accept Apple pay Android pay PayPal venmo credit cards even Bitcoin and if some other way to pay for things comes around they'll add that to brain trees fast payouts and continuous support means that you'll always be ready whether you're earning your first dollar or your billionth it's a little ambitious if you're interested and want to integrate this so you can start making money by selling things through your app right now take a Braintree payments Comm slash tech quickie alright guys thanks for watching let us know if there's other like weird phone videos that you'd like us to cover maybe there's something interesting about the iPhone 7 that we didn't cover or maybe we should cover barometric vents anyways let us know down below if you liked the video like it subscribe all that fun stuff if you dislike the video and you just hate iPhone so much that even seeing a video about them angers you deeply to your core feel free to hit the dislike button or if you want to just have some fun check out channel super fun I'll see you guys next time
