iPhone 7 and 7 plus: First impressions when trying it

Iphone 7 plus opinion impressions

As you can imagine, this is going to be an opinion piece, and also quite personal. Today I will talk about the iPhone 7 and 7 plus, the newcomers to the Apple Store. Many are the comments and data that users have provided as soon as they have obtained their terminal. Also, the media and blogs have talked about its highlights and news. We have also seen some other unboxing and the resistance and camera tests have already begun.

Well, What does an average user notice or perceive when testing the iPhone 7 and 7 plus? This has been my experience when it comes to testing it and the difference that I have seen between this new terminal and my current iPhone 6. I already tell you that the double camera is not what has surprised me the most.

Design and visual appearance of the iPhone 7

Exactly the same one more time. How have they managed to place it without us saying that it is the same? Changing the space gray for a matte black that some users love and adding a premium color starting with the 128Gb models. The glossy black has attracted a lot of attention and is perhaps the most demanded, but this finish is nothing new or revolutionary.

It is a smokescreen to the fact that it is a conservative design. Does that influence my opinion of the device and my first impressions? Yes, and a lot. It gives me the feeling that it is the same thing that I carried in my pocket. An iPhone 6 with 3D Touch, more power, a better camera and a series of new features. But my terminal is doing very well for me, should I buy the iPhone 7 just because it's better? No, because I will not notice the difference and it will give me the feeling that I am wasting money. Money that I don't have to spare. Same design equals no renewal.

Apple has a huge market to cover. Not only more innovative users who have the 6 or 6s decide to renew, but a whole mass that still carry an iPhone 4, 4s, 5 or 5s. For all of them it will mean a real change and they will notice the difference. At the end of the day it is a very good and spectacular terminal, but having the 6 or 6s you are not seeing anything new.

iPhone 7, what are your best news?

Of course, Apple promises more battery, power and all that. But in a while trying it in the store we will not see the difference. That's fine but not impressive. Logically in two years they have been able to improve the battery a lot. The weird thing would be if they didn't. What has surprised me then? The camera, with one or two lenses. Very good and the zoom too. Both the rear and the front have improved, but I know that they will continue to improve it for the future, and for me it is not the most decisive factor when buying.

We were told that the Home button had been redesigned. No, they have not redesigned it, they have practically removed it. Visually it is the same, but the touch is that of a normal screen with 3D Touch. The next thing we would see would be to incorporate it on the screen and stop having its own space in the terminal. Much more comfortable and pleasant this new Home button, I also tell you. Customizable at the pressure level.

Anything else? Sound. I wanted to try that stereo speaker that comes out both from the bottom and from the upper front area. I've put the iPhone 7 to play with the song Perfect Illusion by Lady Gaga and next to my iPhone 6. Both at full volume. The result is what has impressed me the most about this terminal. More than twice the sound of the iPhone 6 and much higher quality. Incredible. Quite a portable speaker.

In conclusion. What I already said in other articles. If you have a iPhone 6, which are no longer sold in stores, or 6s is not worth the jump to this generation. If you want to notice a good change, you will have to wait. The good thing is that your terminal is still very current and the design is not far behind.
