In the beginning there were speculations
As is often the case with Apple products, the release of the "sevens" was preceded by intense speculation that the new Apple smartphones could get rid of the classic 3,5mm headphone port. A variety of sources predicted water resistance, an ultra-thin bezel-less design with no visible lines of antennas or perhaps the absence of a raised rear camera lens for the future iPhones. Photos and videos also appeared on the Internet, from which it appeared that the "seven" will not be available in a version with 16GB of storage, and that, on the contrary, a 256GB variant will be added. There was also talk about both the absence and redesign of the desktop button.
Performance and specifications
Apple introduced its iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus at the Keynote on September 7, 2016. In terms of design, both models were somewhat similar to their predecessors, the iPhone 6(S) and 6(S) Plus. Both "sevens" really lacked a headphone jack, the classic desktop button was replaced by a button with a haptic response. Although the camera lens did not fully merge with the body of the phone, the chassis around it was raised, so scratches did not occur as often. The iPhone 7 Plus was equipped with a dual camera with the ability to take photos in portrait mode. Along with the new models, Apple also introduced a glossy Jet Black color variant. The removal of the 3,5 mm jack was accompanied by the arrival of a new type of EarPods, which were included in the packaging of all iPhones until recently. It was equipped with an end with a Lightning connector, the package also included a reduction for headphones with a classic 3,5 mm jack connector.
