Company CEO Tim Cook called it “the best iPhone ever created.” In fact, the new product differs fundamentally from its predecessor only in that it is waterproof and does not have a headphone jack. This material is for those who are accustomed to being among the first to own newfangled gadgets. In it we will talk about the release date of IPhone 7 in Russia, its price and provide a link to the presentation if you missed it.
On September 7, the presentation of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus took place in San Francisco. The head called it "the best the company has ever created." It is up to you to evaluate whether his words are true. We'll tell you everything last news about the new iPhone 2016.

New iPhone 7: characteristics review
If you don’t have time to watch the video presentation of the iPhone 7, then briefly about the characteristics. The new gadget received a body design similar to its predecessor. The antennas are located on the upper and lower frames. In addition to the gold, pink and silver colors of the case, a new color has appeared - simply black.
The new iPhone has dust protection. It can also be used to dive underwater to a depth of 1 meter.
The new iPhone does not have a 3.5 mm headphone jack
There was only universal port Lightning. At the same time, Apple introduced wireless headphones with microphone - AirPods, which can be controlled using Siri. The headphones work without recharging for 5 hours. They come with a 3.5mm adapter for connecting other headphones.
Price of Airpods headphones for iPhone 7 with a charging case will be 12.9 thousand rubles.
The regular “small” iPhone 7 has a camera with optical image stabilization and a 7-megapixel front camera. Apple claims that the main camera is 60% faster and works better in semi-darkness. You can switch between cameras while shooting.
Instead of the Home button appeared on iPhone 7 Touchpad, which detects pressure and takes fingerprints.
The smartphones also received stereo speakers - one on top, the other on the bottom. iPhone volume 7 is twice as high as the iPhone 6S.
iPhone 7 memory different versions is 32 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB. Size iPhone screen 7 remains the same as the iPhone 6s.
The new iPhone 7 received a quad-core processor, 64-bit A10 Fusion with power saving control and a six-core graphics chip. "This is the most powerful processor in the history of smartphones," said Apple Vice President Philip Schiller.
According to him, the iPhone 7 processor is 40% faster than the iPhone 6S and 120 times faster than the first iPhone.
Apple will save its main innovations for 2017. According to WSJ, next year Tim Cook's company will truly surprise and release a model with a glass case, an almost “frameless” OLED display and without a mechanical “Home” button. It’s worth listening to an authoritative publication - at least it checks the reliability of its sources better than tech blogs that predict the most incredible innovations for the “seventh” iPhone.
"Humpbacked" will be corrected
Rumors regarding the design of the "iPhone 7" have been circulating since the beginning of the year and seem quite plausible. As the MacRumors website wrote, citing a source “that has provided reliable information in the past,” it hides a photo module that does not fit entirely into the body, as well as plastic inserts that irritate many users and serve to transmit a cellular network signal.
The use of a thinner photo module will allow Apple to place the camera on the same level with the body, as it was before the release of the “sixes,” and make the “back” of the new iPhone almost completely smooth. In addition, the i-company is also going to remove inserts from the back cover, which spoil the design and, according to users, look cheap. However, they will not disappear completely: the stripes will remain on the sides and around the top and bottom edges.
Speculation about a “stripless” design was reinforced by the French site NowhereElse.fr, which . In the image you can also see that a much larger hole was made in the body of the “seven” for the photo module. This reinforces the guesses of analysts who attribute to the device a “big-eyed” camera (read about it below).
No exit
The fact that the “Seven” will be deprived of the traditional 3.5 mm output has been written since November last year. By ridding the smartphone of an “unnecessary” port, Apple will be able to make it even thinner and lighter, and also free up space for other components. The function of the “classic” headphone jack will be taken over by Lightning. Existing iPhone models already support audio output through this interface, and there are several headphone models on the market with this feature.
The EarPods that come with the iPhone will have a Lightning connector instead of the usual 3.5 mm. For users who prefer third-party ears, Apple will apparently offer to use Bluetooth headsets or buy a special Lightning adapter.
There is a version that Apple will offer its own solution - a wireless alternative to the standard EarPods, and a very original one at that. The originality is that the accessory will operate without any wires at all, representing two unconnected in-ear headphones. An important element in this case will be the case for wearing the earplugs - it will have a built-in battery that will constantly recharge the headphones during transportation.
The production will be handled by Apple-owned Beats Electronics. Perhaps the headphones will be called AirPods - Apple has already registered this trademark. Previously, a similar model of headphones, Moto Hint, was already released by Motorola, their main disadvantage is the short time battery life. Most likely, wireless “plugs” from Apple will not be “long-lived” either - unless, of course, they are equipped with some kind of revolutionary batteries. It’s difficult to predict how much the accessory will cost, but wireless headphones will definitely not be included for free in the box with new smartphones.
Chinese accessory manufacturers began preparing ahead of time for Apple's radical move. (most likely prototypes) of varying degrees of ugliness, equipped with a Lightning connector, buttons for controlling playback, as well as a headphone output.
Two eyes are better
According to credible KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the next iPhone is . A dual-lens system (wide-angle and telephoto) will be able to capture more image data, resulting in significantly improved image quality.
In addition, the “iPhone 7” may for the first time use technologies from the Israeli startup LinX Imaging, acquired by Apple last spring. Algorithms developed at LinX will allow the iPhone 7 Plus camera to capture two different images and put them on each other.
LinX noise reduction technology in action. The image on the right retains much more detail than the photo on the left, taken with iPhone camera 5.
The company's technologies can measure the dimensions of a photographed object, model 3D figures, perform post-focusing, and also change background image in video call mode. The KGI analyst said that about 30% of new iPhones will be equipped with an innovative photo module, and Sony will again be the main supplier of the 12-megapixel camera.
In addition to a dual photosensor, the new iPhone will be equipped with an optical zoom with the possibility of 2-3x magnification. True, Kuo said, only the iPhone 7 Plus will have this capability, but not the 4.7-inch model.
Thinner and simpler
What makes Apple take a risk and deprive the iPhone 7 of support for the world's most popular audio interface? First of all, the desire to reduce the thickness of the device - the design of the 3.5 mm audio connector does not allow creating a case much thinner than 7 mm. Apple did a similar thing last year with the MacBook. The new 12-inch model with a Retina display has a record thinness for Apple laptops, with only two ports - USB-C for charging and data transfer, and a 3.5 mm audio output (it has not yet become “too thick” for laptops).
But how beneficial for ordinary users Whether there will be advantages of a device without an audio port is a debatable topic. As some sources indicate, without a 3.5 mm output, the iPhone will “lose weight” by a maximum of 1 millimeter, others claim that the body of the new smartphone will be the same thickness as the iPhone 6S.
Dry out of water
Talk that the Lightning port will be used to play music has given rise to speculation about the appearance of a function in the iPhone 7. wireless charging, since users won't have to worry about plugging the 3.5mm jack. In addition, according to Fast Company sources, the design of the iPhone 7 will make the smartphone waterproof. The degree of protection is unknown, but it is reported that we are talking not only about sealing the case and all the holes on it, but also about treating the electronic components located inside with a special compound.
However, in the past Apple has repeatedly deprived iPhone new advanced functions shortly before the start of mass production - in order to “save” them for future models. It is possible that the same fate will befall the possibility of wireless charging, as well as water protection in the iPhone 7 - they will be held back until the S-model is released in 2017.
Evolution within
Information about internal components There are still very few smartphones. It can be assumed that the “seven” will be equipped with a fast Apple A10 chip and faster graphics. Also, according to VentureBeat, the iPhone 7 will use the new Intel 7360 LTE modem with download speeds of up to 450 Mbps.
According to MacRumors, the "iPhone 7" will ship with 2 gigabytes random access memory, and "iPhone 7 Plus" - with three. The battery capacity (at least for the “regular” model) will be 7.04 watt-hours. This is slightly more than the 6S (6.61), but almost the same as the iPhone 6 (7.01).
According to IHS Technology analysts, this year the manufacturer will take pity on customers and will finally stop selling iPhones with 16 GB of memory on board. , the minimum memory capacity of the "iPhone 7" will be 32 gigabytes. The maximum capacity of a flash drive can reach 256 GB. The research firm TrendForce shares the same opinion. She expects that the new iPhones will be offered in three versions - with 32, 128 and 256 GB of memory.
A few weeks ago, photographs appeared on the Internet that allegedly showed... The release of a “dual-SIM” model would be a revolution for Apple - previously the company produced exclusively smartphones with one SIM card slot. This was due to the traditions of the American market, where until recently smartphones were most often sold tied to an operator - parallel use of another network was out of the question. However, recently Asian markets have become increasingly important for Apple, where using two SIM cards to save money is the rule rather than the exception.
When and how much
As in previous years, Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 7 (and possibly other new products) in the second or third week of September. The company rarely changes the price tag, so the cost of new products will most likely not change. For example, an iPhone 6S with 64 GB of memory now sells for $750, and with 16 GB on board for $650.
The iPhone is assembled by numerous Apple partners. According to MacRumors, Foxconn and Pegatron will produce the 4.7-inch model, Foxconn and Wistron will produce the 5.5-inch model. In anticipation of the release of the device, the first two companies began recruiting new employees, so the “seven” has most likely already been put on the assembly line.
After iPhone 6S, probably the next one will be a phone from Apple iPhone 7 , but according to rumors not earlier than the end of 2016, around September. But there are rumors that the iPhone 6S may be shown in the spring of 2015, and that it is quite possible that Apple will release the iPhone 7 by September of this year or next spring.
This is unlikely as everyone is really expecting it for the end of next year.
Pricing is unknown, but expect it to cost at least $800, since this is the starting price with a 16GB size, I wouldn't be surprised if the starting price is $1000.
Display
Since the iPhone 6, Apple has increased its screen sizes to 4.7 and 5.5 inches, and we expect the iPhone 6S to keep those sizes, while perhaps adding a third 4-inch variant to replace the iPhone 5S.
However, while the screen dimensions may remain the same, other aspects may differ. On the one hand, they say the sapphire display won't die, and we wouldn't be surprised if Apple uses the technology sooner or later, so it could be a great opportunity to try out the super durable material.
It is also possible that it will have a curved design. This is a rumor that was put forward on the iPhone 6S, but we think it's unlikely, the technology is still in its infancy, but give them another year and it could make its way to the iPhone 7, either in the form of a curved display like LG G Flex 2 or a curved edge, as in, or perhaps in a new and different form.
Specific rumors on this moment refer to a “side-bezel” display for which Apple has filed a patent. Design along the lines Galaxy Note Edge or Galaxy S6 Edge and can allow placement of virtual buttons on the side of the screen. There is also talk of a 3D screen that won't require 3D glasses to view.
Design
Assuming what comes next iPhone 6S(and not instead or at the same time), there is a good chance that Apple will change the design, albeit with the possible exception of adding curved screen There aren't many rumors about what these changes might entail.
However, there are rumors that Liquidmetal may be used. This is stronger than aluminum, so in turn this can make the phone stronger and a smaller, slimmer device with minimal bezels while maintaining the same screen size.
Or Apple could use the material to make the screen slightly larger without increasing the overall footprint of the phone.
Power
Which processor they use will largely depend on when it launches, which in turn may depend on when the iPhone 6S launches. If the iPhone 6S comes out this spring, Apple could equip the phone with a triple-core 1.5 GHz A8X processor from iPad Air 2 and bring the A9 processor (which is said to be 15% smaller, 20% more powerful and 35% more efficient than the A8) to the iPhone 7.
But on the other hand, the iPhone 6S could get an A9, especially if the launch date is closer to September. In this case, there is a good chance that the iPhone 7 will receive an even more powerful A9X or A10 processor.
There are rumors that the iPhone 6S will have 2GB of RAM and we expect the iPhone 7 to have the same, no matter when it launches. Apple has been stuck with 1GB RAM for years and it's long overdue for a 2GB move, not to mention the iPad Air 2 has 2GB RAM so Apple will probably bring an upgrade to their phones. but given how long it's been stuck with 1GB we imagine our device with 2GB RAM will be the norm for at least a few years.
Camera
There are a lot of interesting rumors about the iPhone 6S camera, and many of them are likely to apply to the iPhone 7, too. Presumably he may have a quality DSLR camera with a dual lens system.
More specifically, it could be a 21 megapixel camera from Sony, as well as have optical zoom, which is still rare on phones, and the ability to produce more light than the iPhone 6.
The idea is that Apple could equip the iPhone 7 with interchangeable lenses, allowing you to change the lenses to suit your needs. There is an Apple patent for this idea, but patents often don't translate into commercial products.
Peculiarities
Apple is unlikely to remove existing features such as Touch ID and Apple. iOS will of course be changed, but not iOS 8. Depending on when it comes out, we'll be looking at iOS 9 or iOS 10, complete with whatever changes and improvements Apple brings to that version of the OS.
According to rumors, Apple is also reducing the 16GB capacity in its flagships to 32GB. This would be a positive step, like 16GB of memory when there is no microSD card slot.
Another interesting idea, this time based on an Apple patent, is that the fingerprint sensor could be scanned on the home screen, allowing Apple to remove the button altogether and thereby create a smaller device or add a larger screen.
Also support wireless iPhone charging 7. This is an industry that is starting to take off and Apple can only give it a boost, it needs to hit the mainstream and talk about reversible USB cable Lightning has been doing the rounds since before the iPhone 6 launched.
Perhaps the biggest rumored feature though is Apple's inclusion of a SIM card. It comes with iPad Air 2 and allows users to switch between networks without changing SIM cards, all from the device interface and theoretically without being locked into a long-term contract.
