Yes, the portrait feature that lets you exploit the best of the iPhone 7 Plus’s dual camera, but users will have to wait for a later date to see the light of the day. The company claims that iPhone 7 delivers a two-hour battery life improvement over the iPhone 6s, and the iPhone 7 Plus lasts a full hour longer than the iPhone 6s Plus. Recently benchmarks have surfaced for the iPhone 7 Plus and it looks like one of the rumored features has been confirmed, which is that the iPhone 7 Plus comes with 3GB of RAM. What it has been brilliant at is introducing features that work perfectly and suit Apple’s wider ecosystem.

Talking of the specifications, the iPhone 7 Plus comes with a 5.5-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD 3D Touch display with 1080 x 1902 pixel resolution and is powered by a A10 Fusion chip with 3GB of RAM. There’s also a new six-core GPU that is 50% faster than the A9. Black and jet black color options are the only new design elements. An entirely reengineered enclosure results in a water resistant iPhone offering protection like never before against spills, splashes and dust.
The battery in the new phones are the best ever in an iPhone and won’t leave people searching for a charging spot. Apple is also developing a depth-of-field effect that uses software and advanced machine learning techniques to highlight a person in a photograph while blurring the background, another process that’s likely to require additional RAM.
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are IP67 standard certified. “The latest, and most recently updated, 2016 12” MacBook is slower than the iPhone 7 Plus. A Nike+ version will also be available, as well as a way to play Pokemon Go. All iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models will include EarPods with Lightning Connector and a Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter, also sold separately at Apple.com and Apple Stores, for $29 (US) and $9 (US), respectively.
And while many find this rhetorical posturing annoying, there is no denying that Apple makes great smartphones, and with the iPhone 7, it has another sure-fire hit on its hands.
