That's just one of the many similarities between the 7 and 7 Plus. Really, they're two variants on the same phone. The iPhone 7 Plus has a few distinct advantages. After several months trying both phones, I prefer the 7 Plus. But I spend my life on my phone and run around shooting photos and videos for work-related posts. For me, it's an essential tool, and I justify the extra camera quality. For a lot of others, the Plus will seem unnecessary. Pick the phone that you can afford, and go with battery packs for charge-ups. But I still feel like I miss that headphone jack, even though I honestly don't find many instances anymore where I need it.

The iPhone 7 Plus is Apple's most advanced phone to date. Samsung and other manufacturers are doing a far better job folding identical 5.5-inch or larger displays into bodies that feel smaller and better in your hand, like the S7 Edge's. But now with cameras that can truly differentiate it from its smaller sibling, the 7 Plus finally has an easy justification for that jumbo size. It's finally the step-up experience the larger phone needed. But keep in mind that next year's iPhone may solve the size problem, and fold more screen into a smaller body. You might want to consider holding out and seeing what happens in 2017 with that new design.

Did we mention it's water-resistant?, I'm not a pro photographer, but I'm trying to get better, James Martin, a senior photographer at CNET, is, He shot with the 7 Plus in the Bay Area, while I took it around and used it for everyday life in New York and New Jersey, Compare and contrast James' photos from the 7 Plus to 6S Plus to the Samsung Galaxy S7 here, slim armor case for apple iphone 7 plus - satin silver The dual cameras don't actually zoom, like a point-and-shoot camera with a protruding lens, Instead, the phone switches between the wide-angle camera and the telephoto, from 1 to 2x, From there, the camera app can digitally zoom up to 10x versus 5x on the iPhone 7, For video, it's 6x..

The camera made these nosebleed seats look good. Digital zoom works better than it used to, but zooming in too far still results in blurry, digitized pics. It can't work miracles. But adding the 2x optical helps frame photos: I found many landscape shots transformed. I went to the New York Jets' season opener and sat in the cheap seats. And being able to zoom in closer to the game action with less loss of detail was a great change -- all without a big, heavy camera around my neck. Note, too, that the camera equals the low-light performance of its smaller sibling, which is an improvement over the 6S/6S Plus models. But also note that the Google Pixel's low light capabilities are even better. To compare Pixel vs iPhone 7 Plus, check out this in-depth comparison.
