  • Hey, what's up, guys?

  • I'm Kim, PhD here.

  • And today Apple finally unveiled their new iPhone, the iPhone seven, and I phoned seven plus.

  • And as you probably noticed, a lot of the leaks are true.

  • The model I showed was super accurate.

  • The articles he saw were right, so it's a very familiar looking iPhone.

  • But there were a few surprises.

  • So this is everything you need to know That's new and different this year.

  • These are the 10 new features of the iPhone seven.

  • Number one is the new design, and you couldn't see me as I said that.

  • But I put new and air quotes because, like I said, this is a very familiar iPhone to the six and success.

  • Same shape, same dimensions, same weight, same feel on the hand looks like an iPhone, but with some subtle improvements, like the antenna bands on the back don't go across anymore.

  • So there's a cleaner look to the top and bottom, and there's a new set of colors.

  • You have your normal silver, your classic gold and, of course, your pink slash rose gold, and then no more space gray but a jet black and black so the black Is this purely all matte black look And I got to say this feels really good and looks good in person.

  • And then the jet black is a piano super glossy finish that I don't think I can seriously recommend to anyone.

  • It looks good while you keep it clean, which is what they were doing here.

  • But not only is it probably going to be the slipperiest iPhone of all time, but it's also gonna be super prone to fingerprints like Samsung phones and scratches.

  • This one I picked up in the demo area somehow already had micro scratches on it.

  • So Apple knows of the issue and just recommends that you use a case which I think is lame.

  • So I'm gonna be grabbing that matte black something about this stuff.

  • Look, just speaks to me.

  • Number two, The home button, The new home button on the iPhone seven is actually really similar to force touch track pads in the new Mac books.

  • It doesn't actually click anymore.

  • It's a solid state glass button with pressure sensitivity that doesn't move.

  • So there's a tactic engine that's now behind the buttons.

  • So when you firmly press it as if you were going home.

  • It clicks, and it kind of feels like the whole bottom of the phone is clicking, so it's not identical to the feel of just the button press from before.

  • So it may take some getting used to, but that is definitely new.

  • Number three, the iPhone seven and seven plus are now officially water and dust resistant.

  • Now I might argue that the iPhone success and even the six might have been just as water resistant as this one, but now it's officially official, so it's rated to be able to survive being under 50 meters of water, which is a lot so you could totally use in the rain or shower with it or whatever.

  • Number four is the new camera or cameras on the back.

  • The iPhone seven has a new 12 megapixel camera with F 1.8 aperture optical image stabilization on both phones, the seven and seven plus and a couple other things like the new image processing chip, quad led flash and raw image capture, which is awesome and a beautiful new big camera bump on the back of the phone.

  • There's also a new seven megapixel front facing camera that actually looks a lot better than previous iPhones.

  • So if you're into SELFIES, this is a real upgrade in that department, so that's needing everything.

  • But the real camera upgrade is in the bigger phone the iPhone seven plus, which has two of these new 12 megapixel cameras, but with different lenses in front of each.

  • So on the right is the normal 28 millimeter lens, same as a smaller phone and on the left is a 56 millimeter lens so twice that focal distance for basically two times optical zoom.

  • So this to X camera is better for portrait CE and for subjects that are further away, since that's what tele photos are good for and in the camera software.

  • There's also now a button to just switch actively between the lenses, so one exciting for the normal lens and two ex for the telephoto lens.

  • And then there's even a slider sort of wheel that lets you smoothly used digital zoom to transition between them.

  • We've been expecting an update to the software for the seven plus that will add a camera mode called Portrait that will add like a subtle blur to the background of your human subjects.

  • So lots of interesting stuff in the camera that I'm hoping works as well as it seems.

  • No doubt I'll be hitting that hard in the full review of this phone number five.

  • The Display.

  • So the iPhone seven display is actually mostly still the same as before.

  • Same size, same old resolution, say my PS technology, but it's apparently up to 25% brighter and has a wider color gamut, so colors will pop a little more, but probably not quite like a no lead.

  • Number six is this stereo speakers, and I'm gonna put that in air quotes again, too.

  • So it's a little bit of an unorthodox set up is you can see the bottom of the phone is one of the speaker grills, its downward facing and at the top of the phone.

  • Actually, in the ear piece is the other side of the stereo pair, and that's front facing.

  • So yeah, it's a bit weird, but technically, that makes these stereo speakers no idea how good they sound.

  • Yet got to test that when I get it.

  • Number seven Lightning year pods, every iPhone seven and seven plus will ship with these lightning your butts because there's no headphone jack in the new iPhone.

  • Yeah, I know we saw it coming, but it's still kind of weird to actually see it happen, but ah yeah, Apple will join Motorola in shipping every phone with an adapter.

  • This one's a little lightning to audio jack adapter that will also retail for $9 which is good to know, because you're probably gonna lose it.

  • And speaking of things, we're gonna lose Number eight is Apple's introduction of optional wireless ear pods will call, um, air pots.

  • I get it.

  • This will be $160 they're pretty much exactly what they look like.

  • It's your pod's without the cables.

  • You kind of look like a cyborg while wearing them.

  • But if your pod's fit in your ears, then these will to hopefully well enough to not fall out while you walk or run.

  • Obviously, at that price tag, they're a tough sell, But people here seem to really like him, they de mode, how to pair them super easily.

  • Basically, they come in this little charging battery case, and it charges them and all.

  • You have to do.

  • To connect is flip open the top of the case, and when you put them in your ears, it uses proximity sensors to automatically know they're being listened to.

  • So it switches your audio on the fly.

  • There's also a touch sensitive back so you can double tap to activate Siri and talk to her with the built in microphones.

  • So, yeah, it's it's more than just an ear pod without the wires.

  • But, yeah, 160 bucks.

  • Your call on that one.

  • Number nine was a minor one.

  • A small update, two Apple pay toe work in Japan, and last but not least, number 10 is the new specs.

  • The iPhone seven has a new 8 10 fusion chip inside, which is a few benefits, better performance with CPU and better GP performance as well for better gaming.

  • And it's a quad courtship with two of those Core is being lower power, so in theory, it's a more efficient ship that should give you an extra hour to of battery life over the iPhone success and success plus, in theory, allegedly.

  • Either way, that's pretty much it for what's new, and my first impressions are that while it's pretty familiar.

  • Yeah, it's a nice piece of hardware.

  • They killed the 16 gigabyte version finally.

  • So now it starts at 32 gigabytes and it's the same price, and it goes up to the 256 gay version.

  • My favorite upgrade, I'm gonna say, is probably the camera, especially in the seven plus, which was the phone I was gonna get anyway.

  • And my biggest letdown, I would say, is the screen one of they gonna put a Nolan display in the iPhone.

  • Seriously, I gotta do it eventually, right?

  • I don't know.

  • Either way, that's been it.

  • Thank you for watching this early look at the new phones.

  • Definitely share this video with anyone who would want to know what's good with Apple's new phones.

  • And, ah, you should totally subscribe if you haven't already to be among the first to see the full review when that comes out, along with much more tech in between.

  • Thank you for watching, and I'll talk to you as the next one.

Hey, what's up, guys?
