Difference between iPhone 6s and 7. Updated design: back in the past

Just like again, at the beginning of autumn, Apple introduced a new line of its smartphones. As always, there will be not one, but two smartphones, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The news about the third version of the smartphone has not been confirmed and the iPhone 7 Pro has not yet been announced, but perhaps we will get the Pro version of the upcoming fate.

This material is about the first model from this line - about the iPhone 7. We compare this model with its successor iPhone 6s and also about those that support the iPhone 6s from the iPhone 7.

Issue No. 1. New color. iPhone 7 has dropped 5 different colors from the iPhone 6s, which was released in only 4 colors. The colors of the iPhone 7 are: black onyx, matte black, silver, gold and rose gold.

Black onyx has become a new product, which was not present in previous iPhone models. Smartphones in this color have been given a glossy finish, which creates an attractive and unique modern look. Ale, it’s so much tighter down to the rags, so I’ll add a trace of the damage to the zakhist. Otherwise, your iPhone can get a little dirty and lose its shine.

Issue No. 2. Increased capacity. iPhone 7 can be purchased with an additional storage capacity of 32, 128 or 256 gigabytes. On the iPhone 6s account, either 32 or 128 GB are available.

Issue No. 3. Smaller screen. The iPhone screen traditionally gets brighter over the years, and the iPhone 7 is no culprit. The screen of the new model has improved color contrast and higher brightness (625,625 cd/m2 versus 500 cd/m2 for the iPhone 6s).

Issue No. 4. Protection from water and saw. With the release of the 7th generation of iPhone, the protection from water and saw was removed. І iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus meet the IP67 standard and can withstand water up to 1 m deep.

Issue No. 5. New processor. The new iPhone will have a new processor, but the iPhone 7 will not be a culprit. This model is powered by a 64-bit A10 Fusion processor and an M10 processor, as opposed to the iPhone 6s, which is powered by an A9 processor and an M9 processor.

Issue No. 6. New camera. The camera upgrade is also completely typical for the new iPhone. iPhone 7 has a new 12 megapixel camera with an ƒ/1.8 aperture, a 6-lens lens and optical stabilization. At the same time, the iPhone 6s has a 12-megapixel camera with an ƒ/2.2 aperture, 5 lenses and without stabilization.

The front camera (or as Apple FaceTime HD is called) has also been painted. The iPhone 7 has added a 7 megapixel front camera, just like the old iPhone 6s had a 5 megapixel camera.

Issue No. 7. Autonomy has been improved. Apple claims that the iPhone 7 can last 2 hours longer than the iPhone 6s on a single charge.

Issue No. 8. New “DoDoma” button. The iPhone 7's Home button is not mechanical. Its pressure is based on Taptic Engine technology, which creates vibration when the button is pressed.

Issue No. 9. Daily sockets for headphones. The classic headphone jack is now standard on iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. To connect headphones you now need to use either a Lightning connector or a wireless connection.

Issue No. 10. Stereo speakers. The iPhone 7 has 2 stereo speakers, compared to the iPhone 6s and all previous models, which always have only one speaker.

Undoubtedly becoming the most discussed topic of yesterday. The new design, the absence of a “Home” button, Face ID – everything is miraculous and great, until the time has come to descend from heaven. Not everyone is ready to pay 80 thousand rubles for a smartphone (even an innovative one).

Apple has just updated its current flagship, and instead of the original model with the “S” prefix, we have replaced it with a smartphone with the “8” prefix. The new product in a minimal configuration costs 13 thousand rubles more than the previous model. Ale, why really consider the iPhone 8 as a “budget” purchase?

For example, is it better to buy an iPhone 7 for a fraction of the price in a set with AirPods? Let's figure it out.

1. Old design, new materials

We were once again “sold” to the old design, which was introduced back in 2014 (!) with the announcement of the iPhone 6.

If you lay out the front panel of the remaining iPhone models on the table, it’s easy to have mercy, so to speak. The knowledge of marketers and the knowledge of designers? Let us rely on the conscience of people who take the remaining decisions regarding design.

To see everything from the model of the past fate will be practically useless.

But everything changes if there is no cover on the smartphone. New reception to the eye color of the body and the back glass of the surface to break its right.

The first editions of journalists who held the new product in their hands came down to a single thought iPhone 8 is better off lying next to your hand, because the back panel is less slimy. For those who don’t like the cold, this is a welcome and important novelty.

According to Apple's statement, such a great deal has never been achieved on both sides of the iPhone. It will be easier to break up.

Visnovok:
For those who want to enjoy the new tactile feel of the iPhone, “8” is your choice. It is imperative that you do not carry a smartphone with you. And you are limited by the choice of three colors.

2. The coolest processor available on the market

The iPhone 8 has the same processor as the new flagship iPhone X. You still need to know about the power of the “8”.

There is no doubt that the most powerful processor, if ever created for the iPhone, will cope with any tasks of the closest number of rocks.

Chip tore off the name A11 Bionic It has six cores and 4.3 billion transistors. Some of the cores (which show efficiency) perform up to 70% faster than the A10 Fusion processor. Moreover, it is energy efficient, for maintaining a “reasonable” distribution of tension between the cores.

The iPhone 8 model can handle new additions and augmented reality games in two seconds.

Visnovok:
The productivity of the new flagship is impressive. “Simka” manages everyday tasks without everyday problems, and the A11 Bionic itself is perfect for exploring the possibilities of augmented reality. Why is this point important and important? Varto marvels at the iPhone 8.

3. Display with True Tone technology

Visnovok:
The iPhone 8 has an acceptance bonus, but nothing more. “Killer features” would be the use of ProMotion technology, which consequently increases the fluidity of the display. It's a pity. Perhaps only in the iPhone 8s (or 9?)

4. The coolest camera has become even more beautiful, but not at all

If the technical characteristics of the cameras in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 are equalized, then you understand that change the minimum. A new function is Slow Sync, and video recording has been shortened a little. Now video recording is possible at new frequencies of 30 or 60 frames/s, and increased video with a frequency of 240 frames/s is recorded in 1080P.

Of course, when compared to the “great” versions of the iPhone, everything looks richer.

The iPhone 8 Plus has a “Portrait Lighting” function for its rear camera, which was advertised at the presentation. The True Tone Quad‑LED bedrooms have also been updated with the Slow Sync function and slightly reduced video capacity.

Everything is more delicious - the “Portrait” mode, “Portrait Highlighting” on the front, as well as the advanced stabilization system are also present in the iPhone X. It’s worth it.

Visnovok:
Be respectful, the cameras on smartphones still have their own parameters. You are unlikely to miss a serious increase in your options when purchasing an iPhone 8. Do you want a new trick “Portrait Lighting”? Take iPhone 8 Plus.

5. New version of Bluetooth

We didn’t find out about this at the presentation, but for nothing.

iPhone 8 versions have Bluetooth module version 5.0. With the support of such a module, the smartphone supports connection on the stand over 100 meters. In other words, from now on there will be no need to cross the hour of making music or unsatisfactory communication with a smartphone

The speed of data transfer is 4 times the same as version 4.2, which is similar to the “old” iPhone 7.

The main features of Bluetooth versions are discussed in the following material:

Visnovok:
Acceptance bonus. Improved drone-free technologies in the current world are correct.

6. Drotless charging

Perhaps the most important thing is the iPhone 8 and iPhone 7.

The new product began to be charged without darts and shredders. Chargers are supported by the Qi standard, and a quick charging function has also appeared (up to 50% charge for 30 minutes).

Come on! Those that have shown some problems with competing models are now in the iPhone.

It’s important to know how many commercially available AirPower dartless charging devices are available, which allow you to charge several devices at the same time. The AirPower design will be more foldable than similar gadgets from other manufacturers, which means the price tag will be higher. Who would doubt it?

It is a welcome news that the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are undergoing widespread adoption and broad expansion of the Qi standard.

Visnovok:
Apple had a problem with wires breaking. Mayzhe.

What to take as a result

iPhone 8 is the same as iPhone 7s.

On the evening of April 7, 2016, at the latest presentation of the Apple company, the advanced iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus smartped were presented, as they have been talking about practically all summer. The rumors about the “7 Pro” version were not confirmed, however, regardless of all the current trends, the Cupertino IT giant managed to cultivate the public and its most enthusiastic fans, who were already hanging out behind the new “Apple” smartphones. The remaining generation of gadgets on iOS has lost its new design and is now “slipping”, and also used a 3.5-mm minijack, which has become a source of confusion for wealthy homeowners. What is the difference between iPhone 7 and iPhone 6s? Why change “shistka” to “simka”?

Updated design: back at the past

Due to the rules established by Steve Jobs, the design of the device has changed with each new generation of “Apple” smartphones. In this generation, the Cupertinians decided to follow unbreakable rules and presented the iPhone 7 in almost the same appearance as the other version. The superiority of the iPhone 7 over the iPhone 6s in terms of design is more immediate: the antennas on the rear surface have become less noticeable and compact, because Apple used a new “secret” composite material when preparing the smartphone. As for the case itself, the aluminum has been polished and the front panel of the smartphone is scratch-resistant.

In addition, the reduction of the 3.5 mm jack of the iPhone 7 will allow for the long-term use of another speaker, and not fake “radiator ports”. Thus, now the “apple device” sounds richer and brighter than the previous generation. While there are other changes to the design plan, the camera body in this generation has lost its “viper” and smoothly transitions to the body.

In response to current trends, Apple decided to equip its smartphones with a pilozachist for the first time. Thus, when replacing the iPhone 6S, the SIM card rejected the protection of the IP67 standard. Of course, swimming with an expensive smartphone is not recommended; a walk under the boardwalk with an iPhone 7 near the village will not result in anything serious for you.

Apple decided to reconsider its idea before the company last year and gave the iPhone its forgotten black gloss. So, in addition to the more polished, golden, standard black and rye color, there will be a new color “Black Onyx”. The iPhone 7 in this color looks even more impressive, and you will have to worry about using it often with your fingers.

New “zalizo”: A10 versus A9

With the plan to “get rid of”, smartphones are radically different. Under the cover of the “Simka” Apple A10 operates under Fusion codenames. The company first introduced a multi-core processor in its devices. Thus, the difference between the iPhone 7 and iPhone 6s lies in the installed more powerful A10 chip, which is 40 hundredths heavier than the A9 installed in the “six”. Two cores operate at a higher frequency, while the other two cores represent “weak drives”. The M10 graphics processor also increased in tension by 50%.

The display plan for Apple devices continues to stagnate. Apple did not change the diagonal of the screen, nor any part of it. Like the iPhone 6S, the iPhone 7 has a 4.7-inch matrix with a separate 1334 x 750 pixels and a dpi of 401 units. However, Apple called this display Retina HD, because it displays more colors and is a quarter brighter than the previous generation. The display of the “plus” camera also remains unchanged: a 5.5-inch screen with Full HD split (1920 x 1080). 3D Touch support is available on both devices.

The volume of accumulation of new generation devices has also changed. The 16th and 64th generation Apple Smarties went on sale, and their place was taken by versions with 32 and 256 gigabytes of memory. The new iPhone 7 will be sold in 32, 128 and 256 GB versions, while the iPhone 6S will be sold in 16/64/128 GB versions. There is a similar gradation of accumulative power in the line of iPad Pro tablets. The RAM plan is also marked with changes: 2 GB for the Apple iPhone 7 version and 3 GB RAM for the iPhone 7 Plus.

Photo module: one camera is good, but two are better

For selfie fans, Apple has prepared a special gift - a seven-megapixel front sensor. We guess that the sixth iPhone has a 5 megapixel module. While the main camera is missing, its separate parts have not changed - still the same 12 MPX. However, the new module was equipped with optical stabilization and an updated lens with a set of six lenses. To each new product, add a new TrueTone with four LEDs, which are 50 watts bright in front, and a special chip for processing operations with pictures in just 25 milliseconds.

With the iPhone 7 Plus version, Apple followed the path of other companies and equipped the device with two cameras that will provide the user with both tenfold digital and double optical zoom. Moreover, the main camera is wide-angle, and the secondary camera is suitable for zooming in photographs.

Tsikavy chips: 3.5 mm Jack is dead, long live Lightning!

The main new feature was the presence of a mini-zhek on the lower end of the structure. Instead, Apple has added another stereo speaker to the iPhone 7. For those who can’t put up with this, the kit with the smartphone comes with a “3.5 mm mini-jack-lighting” adapter.

Moreover, the Home button on the new smartphone has become touch-sensitive, in the mTouch style on Meizu devices. However, unlike the same Chinese manufacturer, the iPhone 7 button, like the display, recognizes the force of pressure on it. Vibration in the “family” is provided by the new Taptic Engine vibration motor.

Availability and start of sales

Despite the fact that hoarders do not care about changing their obligations, the Apple company decided not to start using the device. Thus, the 32 gigabyte version of the iPhone 7 will cost buyers just 649 dollars. In Russia, this model costs 57 thousand carbovants. The iPhone 7 Plus with the minimum configuration will go on sale for a price of 769 dollars (68 thousand rubles).

Sales of two new Apple smartphones will start on June 16, 2016. The first to try “simki” are in 28 countries of Europe and America. In Russia, smartphones have been available this week until June 23, 2016. For those who are planning to get a new generation of iOS devices from the 9th of April, we will clearly inform you in advance.

Table

So why is there a difference between iPhone 7 and iPhone 6s? Let's take a closer look at the equal table.

The time has come for a long time to come when the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are introduced. At first glance, it seems that the company has destroyed its tradition and deprived it of the design that it had previously presented in 2014 for the iPhone 6s. However, as you will be surprised, you will realize that the new iPhone has undergone updates in every detail. And despite losing the design itself, the company updated the most important elements of the device: the camera, RAM, storage device memory, screen and battery.

And now let’s take a closer look at all the changes.

Design

Regardless of Apple's announcement that the iPhone 7 will come with a new design, it basically loses the same design as the iPhone 6s, only with the addition of some tricks.

1. The biggest change that can be noted is that the line antennas on the rear panel have moved to the bottom and top edges.

2. The company installed a headphone jack at the bottom of the phone, and instead installed an additional speaker. This new acoustic stereo system allows you to transmit sound from a larger voice.

3. To compensate for the lack of new design, iPhone 7 now meets the IP67 standard. This makes the phone resistant to water penetration, and also allows you to bury the device in water at a depth of up to 1 meter for a row of up to 30 layers without any problems.

4. It is also pierce-resistant and prevents theft from falling into any kind of brood in the middle.

5. iPhone 7 will be available in two new colors, and Jet Black itself is just Black. The first one has a glossy finish, and the other one has a matte finish.

6. The Home button has been radically changed. Now it is touch sensitive and is on the same level as the phone body. Thanks to the introduction of Taptic Engine technology, which was first introduced in the 2015 MacBook laptop lineup, the button produces a slight vibration when pressed.

7. Regardless of those who have kept the same size of iPhone 7 compared to its predecessor, you will still have to buy new cases for iPhone 7, after several design changes, the old ones simply won’t fit.

Display parameters

iPhone 7 has the same display parameters as the previous model: a Retina HD screen with a diagonal of 4.7 inches and a separate aspect ratio of 750 x 1334. The pixel density of both phones is 326ppi, the axis of the display of the new iPhone is 25% brighter equal to those from the iPhone 6s. Moreover, wine has a wider color spectrum.

Phone productivity and memory usage

1. The new iPhone is equipped with an integrated A10 chip, which has significantly greater performance, and is identical to the A9 chip in the previous model.

This new generation chip consists of four nuclei, two of which are characterized by high energy, the other two by low energy. At the same time, the A9 has only two cores on board.

The clock frequency of the A9 chip is 1.85 GHz, and the A10 Fusion is 2.4 GHz.

The A10 chip was created by TSMC and is more energy efficient.

Apple also confirms that the graphics processor of the A10 chip is 50% faster and more productive than its predecessor.

2. With the release of iPhone 7, the memory system has changed. Now new phones are expanding with 32, 128, 256 GB on board. The version with 64 GB memory was taken out of production.

Camera

Both phones are equipped with an iSight camera (rear camera) of 12 MP. Prote, for a significant increase in productivity, the iPhone 7 camera has been completely updated.

1. The camera in the iPhone 7 is equipped with a lens with 6 lenses and has an aperture of F/1.8, while the camera aperture in the iPhone 6s is set to F/2.2. This design allows 50% more light to pass through, especially in low-brightness sinks.

2. iPhone 7 is equipped with True Tone Quad-LED, which is 50% brighter compared to the LED before it.

3. The phone also has an optical image stabilizer, which the iPhone 6s does not have. After all, the photos and videos look much better.

4. Thanks to the installed A10 chip, the ISP processor has become richly efficient and has completed over 100 billion operations.

5. The FaceTime HD camera (front camera) has also been updated. Now you can take photos with an expanded 7MP, while the iPhone 6s only has 5MP. There has been an increase not only in the expansion but also in the color range, which allows you to record Full HD video.

Battery

iPhone 7 offers 2 years more uptime than the previous model phone.

1. The battery capacity of the iPhone 7 is 14% larger than that of the iPhone 6s.

2. When connected to Wi-Fi, the operating hour of the device will increase by 3 years.

Having said that, it is possible to work out that the iPhone 7 is significantly different from the iPhone 6s. And although most of these updates will be forgotten, the functionality of the device has been significantly expanded.

On June 7, Apple officially introduced two flagship smartphones. And now for the third time before those who want to add a new apple device with a rub, food is supplied - on which model should you choose?

In contact with

Frame

One of the key differences between the models is the dimensions. iPhone 7 Plus 50 grams thicker, 0.2 mm thicker, 20 mm longer and 10.2 mm wider.

The hulls are damaged and are available in the new colors “Black” and “Black Onyx”. Before speaking, there is wine in the “Black Onyx” color on the official Apple website, warns experts about the possibility of marks appearing on the body(it is recommended to save the device when needed).

Screen

The main technical characteristics of the displays have also been preserved. iPhone 7і iPhone 7 Plus equipped with wide-format Retina HD screens with diagonals of 4.7 (1334 x 750 pixels, 326 ppi) and 5.5 (1920 x 1080 pixels, 401 ppi) inches. The same coloring has been equalized with the iPhone 6s/6s Plus – brightness has been increased by 25%.

Productivity

iPhone 7і iPhone 7 Plus Powered by the Apple A10 Fusion processor, which allows new smartphones to demonstrate twice the productivity of the iPhone 6.

Apple traditionally talks about RAM, but gadgets that have protested, observers indicate that the 4.7-inch model has a RAM module with a capacity of 2 GB, while the 5.5-inch model has 3 GB, which is connected with additional expenses for the processing of the results of the harvest. cameras.

Cameri

Vlasna, the main iSight camera has become, perhaps, the main feature between iPhone 7і iPhone 7 Plus- The first is equipped with a 12-megapixel camera with a wide-angle 6-lens lens, while the other has an additional telephoto lens that allows you to adjust the depth of sharpness. The chambers and anterior chambers are identical.

Battery

Having taken advantage of the 3.5 mm audio output, Apple engineers decided to equip the device with larger batteries, which would increase the battery life by an average of 2 years. iPhone 7 i for 1 year for iPhone 7 Plus(Applies to iPhone 6s / 6s Plus).

Pouch

Otherwise, apart from the specific characteristics, the two devices are absolutely identical. The main selection criterion, as before, is the size of the screen and body. iPhone 7і iPhone 7 Plus, as well as the presence of a hidden camera on the phablet.
