Description
The iPhone 7 Plus is an evolution over its predecessor, featuring improved hardware specifications, including 3D Touch, a force-sensitive touchscreen; upgraded rear-facing and front-facing cameras; a faster Apple A10 Fusion processor; a new chassis made of a stronger alloy of aluminum; second-generation Touch ID; improved LTE and Wi-Fi connectivity; and new Jet Black and Black finishes in addition to the Rose Gold, Silver, and Gold finishes found on the previous models, while maintaining an identical design. However, it was also the first iPhone to not feature a headphone jack, which was hugely controversial when first announced. According to Apple, the jack was eliminated make space for additional components such as the Taptic Engine and help achieve water resistance.[1] The devices ship with iOS 10 pre-installed.
