CONS: -
vExcellent front and rear cameras - significantly improved from the already good iPhone 6S
v The camera now comes with optical image stabilization - delivering much improved photos, especially in low light
v The four-LED flash is brighter too
v The front-facing FaceTime camera has been bumped to 7 megapixels now, and it looks great for selfies or videos
v Good battery life - lasts a couple of hours longer than the previous iPhones ( though it is no match for some of the large battery Android phones out there now)
v Enhanced ( louder, and now stereo) speakers
v Good audio quality
v Very good call quality
v Much improved haptics with Apple’s updated Taptic Engine
PROS: -
v No big changes in design from the last two iPhone versions
v The Jet black version is a fingerprint and scratch magnet ( so, use it with a case)
v The new click-free home button takes getting used to because there’s no mechanical click when you press the home button
v Misses out on the dual camera setup of the the iPhone 7 plus
v The missing standard ( 3.5mm) headphone jack on the phone means that you won’t be able to easily use your regular earphones with the iPhone now ( though compatible EarPods come included in the case, as well as a Lightning-to-regular-headphone adapter dongle)
v Lacks fast charging support ( which is now present on most of the Android flagships)
v On the whole, while there are significant changes from last year’s iPhone 6S, but they may not be thrilling enough to warrant an upgrade.
