Iphone 7 vs 7+
An impromptu video for you guys who use Iphone just like me. I have been waiting for the release and today is the premier launch in Singapore. And yay, I just got mine. ahhahahaa
QUICK LOOK
1. Size:
Iphone 7+ has bigger and better screen it seems but in terms of holding it, I prefer Iphone 7
2. Price:
Iphone 7+ is SGD200 more expensive than Iphone 7 for each memory size
3. Camera:
Iphone 7+ has dual lenses (wide angle and telephoto) and Iphone 7 only has one lens (wide angle)
4. Home button:
Changed from “press” to “touch” button. The home button is not clickable
5. Lock button:
Moved to the side instead of the top
6. Music:
No more Headphone Jack but comes with dual stereo speaker. There will be many accessories to settle this issue including “Airpod”
7. Color:
Jet Black, Black, Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold are available. (Glossy) Jet Black and (Matte) Black are cool. I personally prefer Matte because Glossy is easily scratched and leave tons of finger prints
8. Memory:
32GB, 128GB, 256GB. I presure 128GB would be more popular due to the lack of 64GB.
9. Body:
Water Resistant for both 7 and 7+
SUMMARY
Iphone 7 and 7+ are essentially the same except for the size and cameras. If you are a serious photographer, go for 7+ because of the additional telephoto lens and bokeh function. The tele lens can zoom up to 10x! In terms of size, I would probably be more comfortable holding onto an Iphone 7. For color, I would definitely go for the (Matte) Black instead of the over-hyped (Glossy) Jet Black, mostly due to maintenance issue.
All along I have been wanting to get Iphone 7+ but after today’s quick overview, I am kinda swayed back towards Iphone 7. That being said, if you love the bigger screen size and wouldn’t mind paying that extra SGD200, then definitely go for Iphone 7+. The dual camera function is definitely a bonus
SHOULD YOU SWITCH
For Iphone 6 and 6s users:
Both Iphone 7 and 7+ are upgrades from Iphone 6 and 6s because of faster processor, better camera, water-resistant body, and longer battery life. Design-wise, they look very similar except for the 3.5mm headphone jack. So I would probably hold on and for a while until the itch is unbearable. Maybe change when Iphone 7s is released
For Iphone 5 and 5s users:
If you are still using Iphone 5 or 5s like me, then do yourself a favor and just upgrade to Iphone 7
For Android users:
If you are an Android user, no comment! hahahaha….
I am just going to enjoy my new Iphone 7 first okay!
