The Biggest Changes with the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus

Every iPhone upgrade brings with it a host of new features and improvements to the current model. This year’s advancement is no different. The release of the iPhone 7 brought to the table many great new features. From a camera with an optical zoom, to the controversial removal of the headphone jack, the changes made to the iPhone are here to stay and may even pave the way for other smartphone manufacturers.

Some of the changes this time are exclusive only to the iPhone 7 Plus, which features dual cameras. Having 2 lenses has given it several improvements in the realm of photography which are listed below.

Top iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Changes

Headphone Removal

The controversial decision to remove the headphone jack was one of the biggest ways that the iPhone 7 was making waves leading up to its release. There is still an adapter that enables the use of wired headphones, but the main idea is that this change will lead to more wireless Bluetooth headphones. Apple’s courage in its innovations have propelled it to the forefront of the technology industry.

Good Low-light Camera

One upgrade that was featured in some of Apple’s first TV commercials during the release is improvement on the camera that enables it to take quality phones in lowlight settings. This is something that, until now, has really separated the iPhone from more expensive DSLR and other professional cameras. The lowlight feature on the iPhone 7 is appealing to many of the creative-types who are using the smartphone, whether they are taking photos or shooting video.

Optical Zoom Camera

The iPhone 7 Plus also features a second camera that gives it the ability to optically zoom because of its dual cameras. Previous iPhone models featured a digital “zoom”. What many iPhone photographers were unaware of is that the digital zoom sacrifices pixels and the quality of the picture in order to get a close-up of something. The iPhone 7 has a second camera that gives users the ability to get a quality photo or video of something that is further away.

Portrait Mode on Camera

With the upgrade to iOS 10.1, the iPhone 7 Plus gets a new mode in its camera settings entitled “Portrait Mode”. This mode enables the iPhone to focus on someone in the forefront and blur out the background. To do this, the photographer will need to leave greater distance between the subject and the background that they are wanting to blur out. This will enable them to leave a DSLR-effect on the photo, making portraits taken on the iPhone look more professional than ever.

Those who are wanting to take their iPhone photography game to the next level are going to want the iPhone 7 Plus. But both new models are improvements upon the 6 and the 6s. To pave the way of innovation and advancement in the technology industry, Apple must keep taking brave risks like it has now done with its iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.
