Everybody Is Freaking Out Over The New iPhone

"The new iPhone isn't that great," they said

Since the new iPhone 7 and 7+ were officially announced, I've heard a variety of opinions. These opinions ranged anywhere from "there's not that many new features" to "this iPhone is going to suck because they took the headphone jack out" to "this is going to be the best iPhone yet." Well, since the new iPhone has actually been released, we've finally got some real reviews from users. Let's just say: everybody is freaking out about the new iPhone.

In short, the iPhone press conference announced the following new features:

Splash, water, and dust resistant

•This includes falling into a pool

Better camera

•For the iPhone 7+, this includes a dual camera to provide better zoom

•Professional photographers have given the "thumbs up" on the new camera

Better flash

•They have provide a quad-LED "true tone" flash which includes two cool tones and two warm tones to make the flash better and brighter

Improved home button

•The home button does not click anymore and just needs a touch to operate

Improved design

•They have removed the headphone jack (the less holes on the phone, the less places for water to get in). They also removed the designs on the back so the back of the phone is now a sleek design.

Longer battery

•Apple is priding itself with how much longer the battery lasts on the new iPhone 7 and 7+. If you had the most recent iPhone, you'll get an extra hour of batter. If you had an even older version of the iPhone, you'll get 2+ extra hours of battery life.

Now, many people didn't really care about these new features. Very minimal updates and not that spectacular. But now that the new phone is out, everybody is really noticing these features. Just take a look at the following youtube videos:

First, The Water Test:


This youtuber decided to take the phone to the test. It's water resistant, but how water resistant is it actually? Well, if you watch this video, you can find out!

He doesn't just stop there, though. In his next video he took the phone to the next level. He compared the iPhone 7 and the Samsung Galaxy S7 to see which phone would die first, and at which depths both phones die at. The results are shocking, the videos are a little long, but both videos are worth the watch!

Next, the Drop Test:


Since these phones are just as durable as the other ones (not very), I think it would still be smart to get a case to protect the glass screen.

Then, the Bend... and SCRATCH! Test


Get it? The bend and snap? This youtuber gives us a little science behind scratches and he also addresses the rumor that the home button and the camera might be made of sapphire crystal.

The Boiling Water Test


Yep, you heard that right! This youtuber puts the new iPhone 7 in boiling water.

Freezing Test


That same youtuber took it another step further and soaked the phone in coke and then froze it for 17 hours. Check out the results in the video!

Last, but not least: The Microwave Test


Yes. He is microwaving the new iPhone 7. Crazy, right?

After watching these videos, I think it's safe to say that the new iPhone 7 can withstand just about anything. Does that mean we should test it? Probably not. But isn't that really cool? Heck yes! Which is why everybody is freaking out about the new iPhone 7!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
