Apple iPhone 7 Plus unboxing

posted by Ray S. / Sep 24, 2016, 1:20 PM

It's easy to look at the iPhone 7 Plus as simply a 'bigger' iPhone 7, but this year more than ever, Apple's Plus model differentiates itself in a big way, thank to a powerful new dual-camera setup.

And, as we're hard at work on our review, we figured many of you would be interested to take a peek inside the box of this massive iOS smartphone!

I own iPhone 7 and I think the unboxing looks the same except the device is bigger.

It takes a little to get used but it's not terrible. I would argue it's just as good as the physical home button.

I haven't got mine yet but the home button was great on previous models. bit sceptic on the new haptic engine.

I got ahold of a regular iPhone 7 on the launching day it felt awful. A few days later I came back to the AppleStore it didn't feel as bad as the first time I tried it. It takes time to get used to it.

Will you explain how apple cut down on the video files? 02:30 min of 4k video on the i7 has around 550MB while on the SE it has 820MB and the same for 1080p videos. I could not find any articles about this interesting fact..

Possibly full h.265 encoding. It was available in older iPhones for face time to cut down on bandwidth(not 100% sure) , but 265 is compute heavy so even 1080p video encoding requires a ton of horsepower (for a phone) not even mentioning 4K. Apple deffinitelly pushed hard on their ISP/encoding hardware this year so it might be the most plausible answer.

Thx for the info, i was thinking the same but the file has 264 mention on it.. Anyway the reduction in files size is very good at 4k and the videos are better also.
