Built to the usual sky-high standards ; Class-leading IPS LCD in terms of brightness and color calibration. Less-than-stellar pixel density ; The 12MP camera produces solid photos, but its only tangible improvement over last year's camera ;...

On the seventh day the designers rested. In came the engineers. And the master of controversy struck again. Apple is proud of the bold move of removing the audio jack. But in pretty much every other aspect they've seemingly taken the conservative...

The iPhone 7 is a fantastic phone, but we recommend the 7 Plus.

The bottom line: Engadget on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus

Unless your hands can't accommodate it, the iPhone 7 Plus is probably the iPhone you're looking for. It takes the foundational improvements made to the iPhone 7 and packs them into a body with a crisper screen and beefier battery. While it might seem...

Top-tier performance ; Great 12-megapixel camera ; Improved battery ; It's water-resistant!

No headphone jack ; Same design, three years running ; New home button takes getting used to

The last-gen iPhone still holds its own

Compared to the iPhone 8, the 7's still a really solid choice for the right price.

The iPhone 7 still has the biggest key features you’d want: a fast processor, water resistance, a more durable solid-state home button, and still really good cameras with rear optical image stabilization. iOS 12 should help this phone perform even...

Lacks the extra speed and improved camera quality of the iPhone 8. No fancy Face ID or other iPhone X-type designs, which will likely spread to other iPhones soon in the fall. No headphone jack (an adapter comes in the box). No wireless charging.

The gap between iPhone 8 and iPhone 7 isn’t as great as you think, and for the right price, this is still an excellent pick if you’re not chasing the latest bleeding-edge iPhone and want to save some money.

Apple is expected to unveil 3 new iPhones on Sept. 12

This year's new iPhones have so much new technology, Apple appears to be skipping the "S" update altogether.

Apple iPhone 7

Apple's iPhone 7 is better than last year's model in almost every way, but it isn't quite as good as its bigger sibling, the iPhone 7 Plus.

Water-resistant design. Faster processor, brighter screen, and better cameras than last year's model.

The absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack is a big hassle, at least for a few months. Not all models are compatible with all carriers. Lacks dual cameras.

Comparisons and Conclusions There's a simple question this year: Are the iPhone 7's new features worth the headphone jack hassle, especially right now, when there aren't many Lightning headphones available and Bluetooth is still divisive?

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus Review: Iterating on a Flagship

The iPhone 6 was a runaway success by any measure. The A8 SoC may have been built on a temperamental 20nm process – something that dogged all other phone vendors – but for Apple it didn't matter. The iPhone 6 was the first iPhone generation with a...

Overall, I think that if there’s any phone that is worth 650-750 USD at its base, it’s the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. If you’re upgrading from the iPhone 6s Plus you probably won’t find a ton of differences, but it’s still a significant step up in display,...

iPhone 7 Review

It's ironic, a new iPhone is usually the specter hanging over rival smartphones, but it's the promise of their unannounced successor that looms above the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus . Mauled even before launch by vocal criticism of Apple's decision to...

Excellent camera performance ; Finally water-resistant ; iOS 10 and the A10 Fusion are fast and smooth ; Display is beautiful

RIP headphone jack ; Jet Black is a scratch-magnet ; Your old cases probably won't fit

Apple iPhone 7 Smartphone Review

Now, it is also waterproof. The case of the new iPhone is now also protected against water and dust. There are also improvements in respect to the camera as well as the display, combined with a lot of performance. A headphone jack is, however, not...

very sophisticated and light case ; protected against water and dust ; comprehensive sensor equipment ; many mobile frequencies ; intuitive software with useful apps ; high WLAN transfer rates ; good GPS accuracy ; very good camera ; very precise...

only 12 months warranty ; no 3.5 mm headphone jack ; pretty low resolution of the display ; NFC only for Apple Pay ; pretty expensive ; no microSD-slot ; voice quality not perfect ; noticeable warming ; speakers only average

The Apple iPhone 7 will certainly not be remembered as a revolution on the smartphone market. If you believe the rumors, Apple is saving the revolution for the 10th anniversary of the iPhone next year. The manufacturer still offers a very good high-end...
