The difference between iphone 6 and 7 comparison table. Old design, new materials

On the evening of September 7, 2016, at the next presentation of Apple, the long-awaited iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus smartpad were presented, which had been talked about almost all summer. Rumors about the "7 Pro" version were not confirmed, however, despite all sorts of leaks, the Cupertino IT giant managed to surprise the public and its desperate fans, who had already lined up for new "apple" smartphones. The last generation iOS gadgets received updated design and modern "hardware", and also lost a 3.5 mm minijack, which became a reason for many users to be sad. How is the iPhone 7 different from the iPhone 6s? Should I change the "six" to "seven"?

Updated design: back to the past

According to the rules established under Steve Jobs, the design of the device has changed with each new generation of Apple smartphones. In the seventh generation, the Cupertinians decided to deviate from the immutable rules and presented the iPhone 7 in almost the same form as the sixth version. The iPhone difference 7 from iPhone 6s in terms of design is only as follows: the antenna stripes on the back surface have become less visible and more compact, because Apple used a new "secret" composite material in the manufacture of the smartphone. As for the case itself, both polished aluminum and scratch-resistant glass on the front of the smartphone are involved.

In addition, the iPhone 7, devoid of a 3.5 mm connector, received a long-awaited second speaker, and not a fake "radiator grill". Thus, now the "apple device" will sound much richer and brighter than the previous generation. As for other changes in terms of design, the camera peephole in the seventh generation has lost its "bulging" and smoothly goes into the body.

Given current trends, Apple has decided to equip its smartphones with moisture and dust protection for the first time. So, unlike the iPhone 6S, the "seven" received protection according to the IP67 standard. Of course, swimming with an expensive smartphone is not recommended, but a walk in the rain with an iPhone 7 in your pocket will not turn out to be anything serious for you.

Apple decided to reconsider its opinion about the company's past and returned the forgotten black gloss to the iPhone. So, to last year's silver, golden, standard black and pink colors will be added a new shade "Black Onyx". iPhone 7 in this color looks very impressive, but fingerprints will have to get rid of quite often.

New hardware: A10 vs A9

In terms of hardware, both smartphones are fundamentally different. Under the cover of the “seven” is the Apple A10, codenamed Fusion. The company first used a quad-core processor in its devices. Thus, the difference between the iPhone 7 and iPhone 6s lies in the use of a more powerful A10 chip, which is 40 percent more powerful than the A9 installed in the "six". Two of the four cores operate at a higher frequency, while the other two cores are responsible for "weak tasks". The M10 graphics coprocessor has also increased in power by 50%.

In terms of displays, Apple devices are in complete stagnation. Apple has not changed either the screen diagonal or its resolution. Like the iPhone 6S, the iPhone 7 uses a 4.7-inch sensor with a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels and 401 dpi. However, Apple decided to nickname this Retina display HD because it displays more colors and is a quarter brighter than the previous generation. The display of the "plus" seven is also unchanged: a 5.5-inch screen with Full HD-resolution (1920 x 1080). 3D Touch support is present on both devices.

The storage capacity of new generation devices has also changed. 16- and 64-gigabytes of the seventh generation disappeared from the sale, and they were replaced by versions with 32 and 256 gigabytes of memory. That is, the new iPhone 7 will be sold in 32, 128 and 256 GB versions, while the iPhone 6S was presented in 16/64/128 GB versions. A similar gradation of drives is characteristic of the line iPad tablets Pro. In respect of random access memory significant changes were also noticed: 2 GB in the version Apple iPhone 7 and 3 GB RAM - in the iPhone 7 Plus.

Photo module: one camera is good, two is better

For fans of selfies, Apple has prepared a special gift - a seven-megapixel front-facing sensor. Let's remind that in the "sixth iPhone" a 5-megapixel module was used. As for the main camera, its resolution has not changed - all the same 12 MPX. However, the new module was equipped with optical stabilization, an updated lens with a set of six lenses. Added to all this is a new four-LED TrueTone flash that is 50 percent brighter than the previous one, and a dedicated chip to process pictures in a tiny 25 milliseconds.

In the iPhone 7 Plus version, Apple followed the path of other companies and equipped the device with two cameras that provide the owner with both 10x digital and 2x optical zoom. Moreover, the main camera is wide-angle, and the additional one is responsible for scaling photos.

Interesting tricks: 3.5mm Jack is dead, long live Lightning!

The main sad news was the lack of a minijack on the bottom of the device. Instead, Apple has embedded a second stereo speaker into the iPhone 7. For those who do not want to put up with this, a 3.5 mm mini-jack-Lightning adapter is included with the smartphone.

In addition, the Home button on the new smartphone has become touch-sensitive, in the style of mTouch on Meizu devices. However, unlike the same Chinese manufacturer, iPhone button 7 is able, like the display, to recognize the force of pressing on it. A new vibration motor, Taptic Engine, is responsible for vibration in the "seven".

Cost and start of sales

Despite the change in storage capacity, Apple decided not to increase the initial cost of the device. So, iPhone version 7 by 32 gigabytes will cost the buyer the same $ 649. In Russia, this model will cost 57 thousand rubles. iPhone 7 Plus in the minimum configuration will go on sale at a price of $ 769 (68 thousand rubles).

Sales of two new "apple" smartphones will start on September 16, 2016. The first "sevens" will be tested in 28 countries of Europe and America. In Russia, smartphones will appear a week later, only on September 23, 2016. For those who dream of purchasing a new generation of iOS devices, pre-order is open from September 9th.

table

So what's the difference between iPhone 7 and iPhone 6s? Let's take a closer look at the comparison table.

Apple fans are simply at a loss what to do, because there are two quite relevant iPhone devices 6S and iPhone 7. Comparison of these two smartphones right here and right now.

We will consider what is the difference between these phones, which one is better to take, which is more relevant and other issues. I won't torture you for a long time, let's start.

As you understand, the generations of devices are completely different and therefore absolutely everything is different in them. There are slightly similar characteristics and elements, but more on that later.

So that you understand the difference clearly, we will make a table in which you will see the difference more than clearly:

Judging by this table, not much has changed. But of course, I did not add all the differences, because there are a lot of them and here I have provided you with only the most basic characteristics that users pay attention to in the first place.

Now let's talk about those characteristics for which people stood in queues, overpaid crazy money and did a lot of stupid things.


In fact, everything that I will name next should have pleased us at least in 6S. But we know Apple all too well who, if not they, like to serve everything in small portions.

Here is a list of the significant differences between the iPhone 6S and iPhone 7:

• Body color: the colors Black and Jet black.
• Home button: now it is sensory.
• Moisture protection: now we are not afraid of the rains.
• Stereo speakers: listening to surround sound.
• Optical stabilization: videos are getting better quality.
• Screen: more saturated colors and more brightness.
• Headphone jack: removed 3.5, use the Lightning output.

Here is such a big list of little things. Of course, it is still not clear to you which smartphone to buy. Now I propose to analyze the comparisons of the two sections in more detail.

To avoid confusion, I think it would be logical to divide this comparison into sub-points and we will see what is better in the iPhone 6S, and what is better in the iPhone 7.

It's hard enough to compare the two flagships, but I think I can handle this difficult task, so let's get started.

External characteristics. As soon as you take the iPhone 7 in your hands, the very first difference, of course, can be called the antenna strips, which smoothly bend around the phone body and they look just great.


The camera now does not stick out so roughly that you would like to cut it down with something. Now it's just a neat bulge with a camera facing towards the center.

If we still combine all this with the new matte Black color or glossy Jet Black, then you begin to understand why you should take this smartphone.


Eventually, new flagship The iPhone 7 looks cleaner and more modern than its predecessor, the iPhone 6S.

Internal characteristics. The very first thing worth noting new processor, which has now acquired 4 cores, instead of the previous 2. The power doubles.

The RAM has all the same 2 GB, which is enough for today on both smartphones. It will be more than enough for your multitasking.


In conclusion, we can say that the 7 has certainly become more powerful, but its power is more than necessary. It is difficult to find an application that would make full use of resources for another 6S.

Camera. I have already mentioned her appearance, but what about the quality of the image and other details. Then in the iPhone 7, both the front and main cameras are better, I think everyone understands.

But you definitely won't be able to feel the colossal difference. Except that it is worth noting the video, because now there is a stabilizer, which was so lacking in the 6S.


In the conclusions, we can say that the camera is not the main advantage of the new flagship. Better, but an inexperienced user will not feel the difference.

Sound quality. First of all, we forget about the 3.5 connector, because now it simply does not exist. Instead, use a Lightning digital output or use an adapter.

This made it possible to increase the free space in the smartphone and improve the sound quality in the headphones. Apple makes its own standards and there is nothing to be surprised at.


A second speaker was added to create stereo sound. But due to the moisture protection, they have become quieter and not as accurate as the speaker in the iPhone 6S sounds.

Other chips. There is nothing special to say about the battery, it has become a little larger. Improved performance always requires more energy.

The emergence of moisture protection will now allow users to avoid fatal outcomes after the pool, rain and other contact with water. But don't forget - waterproof, not waterproof.


The Home button will not break now, which was an eternal problem with long enough use of Apple smartphones. It is now touch sensitive and responsive through the Taptic Engine.

Which iPhone should you buy 6S or 7?

I understand that you are already tired of reading the comparison of these two wonderful smartphones and you want more specific answers to your question.


I will simplify your task and divide the answer into just two parts, each of which will suit a certain type of people. So we choose and draw conclusions:

• Have an iPhone 6 or below, or any other device. Since you are reading a review of the last two Apple flagships, then you have enough money for each of them.

  We take an iPhone 7 for ourselves and enjoy it like children. For great impressions, take new colors, they will leave you the most juicy memories.

• There is an iPhone 6S or a larger version of it. Do not try to buy a 7-ku, because it is not worth the money to switch from this wonderful smartphone, which will be able to serve you for at least another 2-3 years.

  Of course, if you have money, then take it. But I advise you to wait for the 7S version or what will appear. With it, you will definitely not regret the money spent.

The difference in price is quite serious, because the flagships from Apple have never been distinguished by a small price. To be honest, take a smartphone for which you just have enough money or you can collect money for it in a very short time.

I never liked to wait too much and I do not advise you, while you collect it, it already comes out new smartphone and there is a new headache with a choice.

The long-awaited time has finally arrived when the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus were unveiled. At first glance, it seems that the company has broken its tradition and left the design that it first introduced in 2014 for the iPhone 6s. However, as soon as you look closely, you will realize that new iphone received updates in almost every detail. And while the design has remained the same, the company has updated more important elements of the device: the camera, RAM, storage device memory, display and battery.

Now let's take a look at all the changes separately.

Design

Despite Apple's claims that the iPhone 7 will come with a completely new design, it is basically the same as the iPhone 6s, with a few tweaks added.

1. The biggest change you can see is that the antenna lines on the rear panel have moved to the bottom and top edges.

2. The company removed the headphone jack at the bottom of the phone and replaced it with an additional speaker. This new stereo speaker system delivers twice the volume.

3. In order to compensate for the lack of a new design, the iPhone 7 now meets the IP67 standard. This makes the phone resistant to water penetration, and also provides the ability to submerge the device under water to a depth of 1 meter per line for up to 30 minutes without any problems.

4. It is also dustproof and protected from any kind of dirt getting inside.

5. The iPhone 7 will be available in two new colors, Jet Black and simply Black. The first has a glossy finish and the second is matte.

6. The Home button has been overhauled. Now it is touch sensitive and is flush with the body of the phone. Thanks to the built-in Taptic Engine technology, which was first introduced in lineup 2015 MacBook laptops, the button emits a slight vibration when pressed.

7. Despite the fact that the ratio of the sizes of the iPhone 7 in relation to its predecessor has been preserved, you still have to buy new cases for the iPhone 7, because due to some design changes, the old ones simply will not work.

Display options

iPhone 7 has the same display options as its predecessor: a 4.7-inch Retina HD display with a 750 x 1334 resolution. Both phones have a pixel density of 326ppi, but the new iPhone's display is 25% brighter than the iPhone 6s. In addition, it has a wider color spectrum.

Phone performance and storage

1. New iPhone is equipped with an integrated A10 chip, which has a significantly faster operating speed compared to the A9 chip in the previous model.

This new generation chip consists of four cores, two of which differ high power and the other two are low power consumption. While the A9 only has two cores on board.

The A9 is clocked at 1.85 GHz, while the A10 Fusion is clocked at 2.4 GHz.

The A10 chip is designed by TSMC and is more energy efficient.

Apple also claims that graphics processor the A10 chip is 50% faster and more efficient than its predecessor.

2. With the release of the iPhone 7, the storage capacity has changed. Now new phones are distributed with 32, 128, 256 GB on board. The 64 GB version has been discontinued.

Camera

Both phones are equipped with an iSight camera ( rear camera) with 12 MP. However, for a significant performance boost, the iPhone 7's camera has been largely overhauled.

1. The camera in the iPhone 7 has a 6-element lens and has an aperture of f / 1.8, while the aperture of the camera in the iPhone 6s is f / 2.2. This design allows 50% more light to pass through, especially in low light conditions.

2. The iPhone 7 has a True Tone Quad-LED flash, which is 50% brighter than its predecessor's LED flash.

3. Also, the phone is equipped with an optical image stabilizer, which is not available in the iPhone 6s. This will make your photos or videos look much better.

4. With the built-in A10 chip, the ISP is much better and is capable of over 100 billion operations.

5. The FaceTime HD camera has also been updated ( front-camera). Now you can take 7MP photos, while the iPhone 6s has only 5MP. Not only the expansion has increased, but also the color range, which allows you to record Full HD video.

Battery

iPhone 7 offers 2 hours more battery life than its predecessor.

1. The battery capacity of the iPhone 7 is 14% larger than that of the iPhone 6s.

2. When connected to Wi-Fi networks the operating time of the device has increased by 3 hours.

In view of all of the above, we can conclude that the iPhone 7 is very different from the iPhone 6s. Although most of these updates remain unnoticed, the functionality of the device has been significantly expanded.

Almost a year ago, on September 7, Apple announced two smartphones at once: iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. And every year the question arises before the buyer: which model to choose?

We compared iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus to see how they differ so you can pick the best. suitable smartphone satisfying all requests.

dimensions

The first thing you need to know is the device sizes.

• iPhone 7: 138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1mm, Weight 138g
• iPhone 7 Plus: 158.2 x 77.9 x 7.3mm, Weight 188g

The iPhone 7 Plus is 19.9mm taller, 10.8mm wider, and 0.2mm thicker than the iPhone 7. It's also 50 grams heavier. Note that these devices are significantly heavier than the iPhone 2014 release (129 grams), and if you compare with the weight of the iPhone 6 Plus (172 grams), then the iPhone 7 Plus is again in the lead.

Design and color options

For several years in a row, Apple has hardly changed the design of its devices. If we compare these models with the same Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy Note 7, then Apple is clearly in the laggards. Although this is a matter of taste, and for many Chinese manufacturers the design of iPhones is taken as a reference.

Apart from sizes and cameras, appearance both devices are no different. In the seventh version of the flagship, Apple made the plastic antenna strips more invisible and in tune with the body, in contrast to the iPhone 6 and 6s.

The choice of colors for the two devices turned out to be identical: silver, gold, pink gold and glossy black, matte black.

Display

The iPhone 7 Plus has a 5.5-inch Retina HD display, and the iPhone 7 has a 4.7-inch display.

The 4.7-inch iPhone 7 is perfect for most users. This is not to say that 4.7 inches is a display for gaming or multimedia viewing. If you are used to using big screen you need a 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus.

In addition, you not only get a larger display, but also more pixels, resulting in a clearer picture on the screen. The iPhone 7 Plus has a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels (401 ppi) with a 65.6% screen-to-body ratio, while the iPhone 7 has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (326 ppi) with a screen-to-body ratio of 67.7%.

The advantages of the iPhone 7 include a higher contrast ratio of 1400: 1 compared to iPhone indicator 7 Plus (1300: 1).

Performance

According to many analysts, the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus are still some of the fastest-performing smartphones on the market, but Apple didn't stop with the A10 Fusion quad-core processor, which made them the fastest ever iPhone. at the time of the announcement. And to this day it is the most productive chipset not only among mobile devices with iOS.

Apple says this package provides a 40% increase in device performance over previous models.

At the same time, the iPhone 7 Plus received 3 GB of RAM, the iPhone 7 - only 2 GB, which would affect more overall performance smartphone, if not for the adaptation software... Overall, 2 GB of RAM is not enough for a flagship.

Note that the increase in performance to 3GB over the past few years is a significant achievement for Apple.

Battery life

A larger smartphone has a larger battery. But this indicator does not always affect the time. autonomous work but this is not about the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The battery life test showed that with the iPhone 7 you get up to 14 hours of talk time, and up to 21 hours in the case of the iPhone 7 Plus.

Cameras

7 Plus steel first iPhone who got dual camera... The former is the exact same camera used in the iPhone 7, while the latter is a telephoto lens that offers 2x optical zoom and much better sharpness (ideal for portraits).

Prices

At the time of the start of sales iPhone price 7 with 32GB of ROM was $ 649. For 128 GB of ROM you had to pay $ 749 and for 256 GB $ 849.

The iPhone 7 Plus started at $ 769 for 32GB of ROM and $ 869 / $ 969 for 128GB / 256GB, respectively.
