Yesterday Apple hosted their annual Fall developers conference where they announced what seems like the phone of our dreams as well as a new operating system and other watch features. The new iPhone 7 was announced yesterday as promised last week and seems to have delivered on everything people wanted: sleek, modern, new colors, durable, and water resistant, and more apps.
One of the biggest new apps in the world of gaming is Mario. Thats right, the “Father of Mario” himself, Shigeru Miyamoto made an appearance at WWDC to unveil Mario for the iPhone. This is the easiest way to play as our favorite plumber. Users will be able to play Mario once headed for the first time, allowing for safety on the subway or bus, or eating a hamburger. Unfortunately the game will have one set price and an exact release date has yet to be determined though they promise it will be out in time for the holidays.
iPhone 7 will come in new and different colors such as jet black, and black. These two shades have been designed and customized just for Apple. Through ionization baths, special washes and polishing techniques these new cases are exactly what we wanted, as consumers for the next iPhone.
With iPhone 7, users will have a fantastic, seamless integration with iOS 10. iOS 10 has countless new features ranging from a new Maps app that allows people to schedule rides to restaurants, automatically updated public transportation routes to a brand new Homekit and and Health kit.
For starters, the iPhone 7 has a brand new, innovative home button. The new home button uses solid state interaction technology, as with the MacBook trackpad. This new part of the hardware will also allow third party developers to gain programmable access when they build new apps, allowing for brand new interactions with software.
Next up, the headphones. iPhones will now feature brand new headphones. They are moving to a wireless headphone system allowing for us to get rid of the constant need to untangle the wires and worry about needing to fidget with the exact position of them after three uses. For those of the users that still prefer the 100+ year old system of audio, in every iPhone 7 box there will be a lightning to analog audio adapter so you can still use your phone.The new type of headphones will be called Apple Airpods. These tiny headphones will fit seamlessly into your ear, allowing for optimal sound into your years. They also will be able to control Siri with a double tap on the side. These headphones are truly the first of their kind.
Arguably the new iPhone is one of the best technological devices coming out. The new iPhone is now water and dust resistant putting it back on par with the Samsung Galaxy. Lately the iPhones have been not so grand in their “new technology” until now. The new camera on the back of the phone has new color sensing wide capture technology, 50% more flash capability, artificial light sensing technology, as well as optical image stabilization. In addition there is a second lens on the back on the camera containing telephoto features to get the optimal photograph. The images now taken on an iPhone are now no longer pics but real photographs. The front camera has been upgrade as well to a 6 megapixel camera.
Finally the last piece of hardware that apple is showing us with the iPhone 7 is the new Apple A10 Fusion processor. This processor has over 3.3 billion transistors making it the fastest processor on the market. This dual core processor will allow the 7 to run twice as fast as the iphone 6. The other two cores are for efficiency allowing the user to get the maximum battery life out of their phone. In terms of processing power the iPhone 7 will run over 100 times faster than the first iphone that came out 9 years ago. The iPhone 7 is finally not just a new tech toy, it is a work of art that will be sure to pave the way one more time.
