iPhone 7 Vs iPhone 7 Plus: The Differences Decide Your Purchase

The Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have been officially unveiled this morning. But the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are not like any previous Apple iPhone ‘number change’. This update is not simply about adding 2 new phone colors compared to iPhone 6 and 6S. Even the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are different in features and design. These 2 new iPhone models look identical to each other. Except the appearance, there are also some other significant differences.

People who plan to upgrade to iPhone 7 might wonder which iPhone 7 model is more worth buying. Here is a comparison between iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The comparison is straightforward, covering design, display, performance, camera, battery life, storage and price.

Design & Size - More Durable, More Controversial

In the new iPhone models, Apple has made great change in design, but stayed the same in size like that of iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. Several changes in design include: remove the 3.5mm EarPod port, IP67 dust and water resistance, antenna bands, and Home key improvement.

 Apple has fitted both the new iPhones with just a single Lightning port for both music listening and charging. They add IP67 dust and water resistance (good for full submersion in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes) for the first time while still retaining the rigid Series 7000 Aluminium introduced last year.

Apple Watch 2 Reportedly to Release this Year with Faster Processor, GPS, Barometer and More

We may know a ton about the next iPhone - the iPhone 7 already, but details on a potential Apple Watch upgrade have been conspicuous by their absence considering the original model was announced almost two years ago. However, according to the latest report connected to the insiders, Apple is planning to release two Apple Watch versions in the second half of 2016, one a minor update over existing models and an "Apple Watch 2" with faster processor, GPS, barometer and more.


Well-connected KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in a note to investors on Sunday, obtained by AppleInsider, detailed Apple's wearable timeline for the coming six months.

Kuo believes Apple is planning to launch two new Apple Watch versions in the second half of 2016, both of which offer moderate improvements over their predecessor. The first unit will be an iterative upgrade on the original Apple Watch and is expected to sport the same aesthetics, but with improved intervals like a TSMC processor built on the 16nm process. Waterproofing should also be slightly improved.

Glasses-Free 3D Movie Screens May Soon Come into Movie Theatre

3D video, despite never really succeeding as a consumer-level product, still has some success today in movie theaters, as more and more big-budget movies are released in 3D to try and squeeze a few more dollars out of patrons. Some movie studios even tried to turn 2D movies to 3D to reproduce classic movies in 3D effect and bring the 3D versions to theatre, such as Titanic. But there are drawbacks to 3D movies: cinematically, the polarizing 3D glasses also result in darker, less vibrant perception of the movie. Based on these, glasses-free 3D movie viewing technology has been required.

Though glasses-free 3D viewing technology has already available, it relies on screens with massive resolution requirements. Therefore it’s impractical to recreate the big-screen movie theatre experience. However, the glass-free 3D movie experience might shortly come into theatre since researchers have developed 3D movie screens that don't require 3D glasses.
