The iPhone 7 was a smartphone released by Apple in September 2016. It featured a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and a 12-megapixel camera. It was powered by Apple's A10 Fusion chip and was water and dust resistant. The iPhone 7 also marked the first time that Apple removed the 3.5mm headphone jack from its iPhone models. Instead, the iPhone 7 used the lightning port to connect headphones or used wireless headphones.
The iPhone 7 has a 4.7-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1,334 x 750 pixels. It is covered with Ion-strengthened glass and is water and dust resistant with an IP67 rating.
It is powered by a 64-bit quad-core A10 Fusion chip, which is paired with either 32GB or 128GB of internal storage. It does not have a microSD card slot for expandable storage.
The iPhone 7 has a 12-megapixel primary camera with an f/1.8 aperture, optical image stabilization, and quad-LED True Tone flash. It can record 4K video at 30 frames per second and has a 7-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and FaceTime calls.
It has a Touch ID fingerprint sensor built into the home button and supports Apple Pay for mobile payments. It also has a lightning port for charging and connecting accessories, but does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack. Instead, it includes a lightning-to-3.5mm adapter or users can use wireless headphones.
The iPhone 7 was released with iOS 10 pre-installed and is upgradeable to the latest version of iOS. It has a 1,960mAh battery, which Apple claims can last up to 14 hours of talk time or up to 10 days of standby time.
One of the key features of the iPhone 7 is its water and dust resistance, which is achieved through a combination of seals and adhesives, as well as a water-resistant coating on the inside of the device. This allows the iPhone 7 to withstand being submerged in up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes.
The iPhone 7 was the first iPhone to be equipped with a solid-state home button, which uses a haptic feedback engine to simulate the feeling of a physical button press. This allows the home button to be more durable and responsive, as well as easier to clean.
The iPhone 7 was also the first iPhone to be equipped with a wide color gamut display, which allows it to display a greater range of colors and more accurately reproduce the colors of images and videos.
In terms of performance, the iPhone 7 was praised for its fast processing speeds and smooth operation, thanks to its A10 Fusion chip and 2GB of RAM. It was also able to handle demanding tasks such as gaming and video editing with ease.
The iPhone 7 was released in five colors: jet black, black, silver, gold, and rose gold. The jet black and black finishes were made of a high-gloss finish and were prone to scratches and fingerprints, while the other finishes were made of a matte finish and were less prone to these issues.
