A month ago I received my personal iPhone 7 - I got my business use iPhone 7+ today. Both iPhone 7 models deliver enhancements over Apple's iPhone 6/6s (which are the top selling smartphones in the world): a newly harmonized Home button and 3D Touch haptic user interface paired with an enhanced Taptic Engine actuator; Wide Color Retina HD Display; a significantly improved A10 Fusion Application Processor providing enhanced speed and efficiency, paired with 2GB (iPhone 7) or 3GB (iPhone 7+)of RAM and larger batteries (largest in the iPhone 7+) for an extra hour, two or three of use; new rear and FaceTime cameras and lenses with Optical Image Stabilization (in both cameras) for more detailed low light photos and smoother video; louder and crisper stereo speakers paired with Lightning and wireless audio connectivity that supports faster, feature-enhanced LTE Advanced mobile and MIMO WiFi; and new iP67 dust and liquid intrusion resistance.
A lot of work has gone into making 3D Touch smart, useful but unobtrusively inconspicuous. Apple has also enhanced the visible characteristics of its iPhone 7 Retina HD displays. Both iPhone 7 and 7+ feature radically enhanced displays with very high contrast ratios, very low reflectance and peak brightness levels above 700 nits. DisplayMate rated the new iPhone 7 Retina HD panels as "most color accurate display that we have ever measured." The displays on both models - as well as their cameras - also now support Wide Color as defined by the Digital Cinema Initiatives P3 color gamut specification. This extra color information isn't visible on most of today's PCs, notebooks, tablets or phones, but is of course displayed by iPhone 7 and 7 Plus (as well as my 27” iMac 5k and 9.7" iPad Pro).
Apple doesn't sell any laptops with support for P3 Wide Color - yet. What is interesting (especially for me as a professional photographer) is that until you experience Wide Color on a screen - you don't know what you’re not seeing. I am sure that in the future Wide Color will come to HDTVs and all Macs and iPads, so capturing images with your iPhone 7/7+ in 2016 with this expanded color palette capability means you'll see more vibrant memories of your kids, sunsets, travel photos and whatever else you like to take pictures of. By the way - Wide Color Gamut is part of what TV vendors are branding as "High Dynamic Range" - a well known “brand” for most serious photographers.
In this blog, I have posted some images of both my iPhone 7 and iPhone 7+, and my very first set of images captured with the iPhone 7+ that just arrived on my doorstep. Let me know what you think of the image quality produced with this device.
