Two rear cameras - one wide angle, one telephoto - that can zoom in at 2x or even further digitally. And it can create depth-of-field blur effects, or "bokeh" type effects, with portrait photos in a unique camera mode.
Better battery life, but not by a huge amount.
Larger 5.5-inch 1080p display.
3GB of RAM, instead of 2GB
It’s heavier and bigger.
.
And, of course, it costs more.
.The Good Dual rear cameras delivers true 2x optical zoom, with a cool bokeh Portrait mode. Battery lasts longer than last year’s model, and longer than iPhone 7. Water resistant. Fast. Bigger storage options include 256GB model for serious photographers.
.The Bad There’s no standard headphone jack: you’ll have to use Lightning, or the included adapter, or go wireless. Design is showing its age, as competing phones squeeze a 5.5-inch screen into smaller, sexier bodies. And it’s really expensive.
The Bottom Line The iPhone 7 Plus is one of the best point-and-shoot cameras ever - and it’s a great phone, too.
