iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus: No Headphone Jack Confirmed, But Features Two Awesome Cameras

The long rumored features of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are finally clarified as the new phones are unveiled in the Apple event at Bil Graham Civi Auditorium in San Francisco. It is confirmed that the headphone jack is gone but it has two cameras.

Since the headphone jack is ditched, the new iPhone handsets come with EarPods that are connected into the Lighting Port as well as an adapter to connect analog headphones. But aside from that, wireless ear buds are also released which are called AirPods.

This technology is made possible with Apple's new first wireless chip named the W1 chip. This enables a connection with the iPhone 7 and the Apple Watch. Siri can also be accessed merely by tapping the AirPods. According to Forbes, said ear buds reduce external noise and it recognizes a user's voice.

AirPods can also play music for five hours and it has a charging case which can be used for 24 hours. It will be out of October with a price of $159.

Another huge feature revealed is the two 12-megapixel cameras of the iPhone 7 Plus. One of the cameras is a wide-angle lens while the other is a telephoto lens used for zooming up to 10x. The new phone can scan the environment real time as well as separate the background from the foreground using its image signal processor, The Verge reported.

Like the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus features 28mm-equivalent, 12-megapixel lens but it adds a second 12-megapixel telephoto lens. It also used machine learning to recognize faces of people, blur the background and do a depth-map of the people's position, BGR noted.

The aperture of the new iPhones allows 50% more light since it is wider at f/1.8. Both units also have an optical image stabilization feature that allows up to 3x longer exposures and a Quad-LED True Tone flash. Its front facing camera has auto image stabilization and was upgraded to 7-megapixel sensor.
