Apple has just released the new iPhone 7 Sept. 16, 2016. The new iPhone 7 includes features like a non existent headphone jack, a better camera, a brand “new” color, wireless headphones, and a water proof design.

The iPhone offers users a larger screen, (5.5 inches vs. 4.7 inches) with the removal of the headphone jack. This making way for a wide color garment screen with color accuracy, and enhanced speakers. The home button on the phone is no longer clickable and operates on the same pressure sensitive and vibration tools used in the 3D touch screen.

The battery last longer, but is only a few hours longer under normal use. However, it is the camera is the big show stopper of this event. The new iPhone 7 features a camera that can take better photos, and adds the optical image stabilization feature that could not be done in previous models due to design.

Which brings me to my next point. What happened to the headphone jack? The new design has said good riddance to the headphone jack, and hello to the bluetooth headphones. Of which many Apple users say look like the detachable head of a rotary toothbrush. What was once a simple design that involved the user plugging in the headphones in the jack and relaxing to some music, has turned into a much more complicated experience.

Buyers now need to think about whether they want to use the wireless AirPods which come with a charging pack and can run five hours on a single charge. The AirPods have a few cool new features like the ability to bring up Siri with a double tap, or the music turning off/pausing when you pull the headphones out of your ears. They can also be connected to any Apple product which allows somebody to listen to music on different media forms. These can be bought separately.

Buyers can also choose from the Lightning headphones that come in the box. The design of the wireless headphones does not seem appealing to wear as an accessory and seems a little weird. The new headphone update will take some getting use too, but just like moving the head jack from the top to the bottom, users should get over it.

With no headphone jack, Apple was able to catch up to its predecessor and add a waterproof design. No more putting your phone in rice to dry over night in hopes your information is still there.

Along with the new iPhone revealing, Apple came out with a new iOS update on Sept. 13, for the generations five and up. The new update is called iOS 10 and features new updates to iMessages, the home button and more. Making the new update something all Apple users have been waiting for, and a great fix to some previous issues. However, users have been faced with problems after downloading the update, and Apple is asking users to wait to download until they can get the bugs worked out.

Apple’s next iPhone should add more changes to it design so that it does not seem too similar to the last one, and look more at the pattons that Apple users want. A design that is more appealing to users creates a iPhone that sells fast.
