Headphone jack is going the way of the floppy disk, cd rom, flash etc etc. Apple ALWAYS does things like this and the others will eventually follow (how many new thin laptops have cd drives?). Just get over it!!! Makes a lot of sense to move to wireless. We don't complain when smartwatches dont have headphone jacks, same will go for phones and computers sooner or later.
+jhe3903 actually, it only makes sense when they have a better solution like floppy is replaced by thumbdrives. their solution is only either expensive or proprietary and neither adds on or improves upon the current standard apart from being wireless. 3.5mm headphones have never had much problems delivering high quality audio.
Their Note 7 review, just like every single one of their most recent reviews, also has TONS of cinematography and special effects and I dare you to prove me wrong. I guess some people just LOVE to hate on something even when their arguments don't make sense.
+Liam Cares exactly and the explosive note 7 joke is also gonna age cause samsung gonna learn from it just like apple.So whats the point of even bringing this "joke" up?
waterproof gloss black plus size with longer battery life and a larger haptic feedback vibration motor with force touch and wireless control technology. /nocontext.
Sources says that the removing the headphone jack made it thinner and removing the home button added for extra level of water resistance. Some will like it, others will not.
LOL you guys are hilarious. They didn't REMOVE the headphone jack, they CHANGED IT and gave you new free headphones and a free adapter if you want to use your old ones, and they didn't remove it just to add haptic, they removed it because they made it obsolete, changed the game, added an additional speaker for Stereo output, and it was another unnecessary water ingress point they sealed up. I'm blown away that people are so stuck on not having an antiquated 3.5mm jack.
@The Verge The Verge should get this guy to review more apple products. Its unbiased review is a much better video to watch ... Makes watching this video actually informative and yknow a GOOD review.
Just what I just wrote in my own comment. Cool, I totally agree with you! I immediately noticed that the 6S+ takes the better looking pictures. Weird and...kinda cool. 😀👍
I am so glad Apple started giving out press units. Currently on a 6S+ and I have no immediate plans on upgrading. Just...not enough differences for me.
AT&T is giving $650 credit towards the iphone 7 if you trade in a 6/6plus, 6s/6s plus regardless of the SSD size. I can't sell my iphone 6S Plus 64GB for $650 so I might as well trade it in for a free iphone 7.
Yeah between the G4 - G5, there was nothing new, S6 to S7 nothing new, Xperia A to Xperia Z, nothing new. Phones have nothing new. It's just about if you want the newest one.
Chris G no. Hes giving his honest opinions on the subject. Just like when other verge reviewers refer to the iphone. I see no problem with him not praising this phone
Wow. So clever. Good thing the new iPhone has a headphone jack... and free headphones... and a free adapter if you want to keep using those headphones you already have. Whatever will we do without a 3.5mm jack? Our lives are certainly over and Apple is stupid and everyone else that still has a 3.5mm jack is certainly superior lol
Me too!!! A 6s, and can't wait for the airpods won't be long until competition does the same but for now they'll just be like "we got a headphone uhhhh cough cough iPhone 7 is stupid"
What do you like about it? I only experienced it for a few weeks before i switched back to Samsung. I din't find much use for it besides live photos (which I loved)
+Corporal Cookie may be for ios 9 but with ios 10 it's just amazing. It's everywhere in Notification Center, folders, widgets, control center and now more apps have implemented it too.
If you aren't doing anything more than talk text and a few videos on your phone.. there is no need to upgrade from the 5s/6/6+/6s/6s+/se for the next 5 years... By then we'll have new network technologies like 5G and even then 4G LTE will be absolutely everywhere at full rated speed of 50mpbs...
Jonathan wealth != smartphone. I've got a iPhone 6 Plus and it has not missed a beat for the things I use it for. It just needs to do calls, texts, navigation, news, and youtube.
What if I have an extremely slow 4s? Should I wait? (Screen cracked back and front, very slow when doing anything on it, phone dies at 25% battery) Or should I just go for the 7
I use wireless charging now for years! Its so much simpler to just lay down your phone on your table and it loads overnight. Also its better for the battery life.
Right!? It's so stupid that they remove the headphone jack and tout that the future is wireless then they don't even include wireless charging which, as +faddi23 stated, has been in other devices for years.
When you have a phone and a dslr quality lens in your pocket, that's pretty impressive, of course people are going to buy this model instead of the smaller one. Especially as it has 3gb of ram.
Why would I spend my money on a DSLR if I will never carry the camera everywhere I go. Most photos worth taking are those that happen when you least expect it. DSLRs are not the perfect solution for everybody.
What does the word innovate mean to you, actually what company can always keep "innovation" up. And why is it that people expect Just one company to do it? I'm fine with the way they've been going, the only thing that lets me down is the camera bumps and the sometimes bad software launches. Yes they do need to hit the chalk board and figure out what can help the consumer next, regarding products. But the 8 is supposed to be the real upgrade.
+sexntuna IMO the only thing Apple has going for it rn is iOS and it's performance. embarrassingly enough Android still hasn't beaten the 6s in performance due to Android being such an unoptimized OS and lazy OEMs
It has the best LCD screen in mobile phones. I agree that it's technically behind but I'm sure that it would have a good display and this is coming from someone who uses the galaxy s7
Well, it's the most critical review of an Apple product they have ever made... Still gets 9.0 as final score. First time a Samsungs flagship phone is rated higher than a current Iphone. But just by 0.1 in score.
Serious question, when they said that they removed the headphone jack to make it water resistant, how come samsung's phone has a headphone jack and has a higher water resistance rating? I feel like it's a lie to from Apple to remove analog media so they have more control over things in the future
The best verge review I've ever watched! Re-subbing, more from this reviewer please he gives excellent unbiased reviews. Will be interesting to see a video from him comparing the iPhone 7 vs rivals.
How many benchmarks do you need to see to realize that android specs are just words on a page...actual real-life performance is where iPhones excel...nice promises of terabytes of ram exist in the android word but you still see stuttering on 2016 devices...
Matthew Gonzales sure they don't always matter, the iOS is a simple operating system I understand if that's why some people get it. However it's still highly overpriced.
Announcing the I phone 7S! We were the only ones courageous enough to Shrink your battery life. and this is the 7S were talking about so we shrunk it not once, not twice, but 7 times smaller than the original. Think thats great? well get ready for our newest charging cable amply named, "IPod super charger" it replaces the old thunderbolt charger with apples new proprietary charger. unfortunately it's incompatible with any past chargers or accessories. But don't worry because it now charges your phone 5% faster than before! but it's also our tenth anniversary so to celebrate we'll start the pricing at 10x the price of the original Iphone 7
Ecryptix ! I have the 7 plus. They're quite a bit louder, and sound more full. The bottom speaker is probably the same as on the previous ones, but the top speaker adds a lot to the experience.
+a dead account I agree with you it a great phone, but I think the note7 after they fix the battery issue, it's will be the best phone ever. And if you want a great phone form Apple, then you should wait until iPhone 8 release!
Wow, so gone are the days when you guys used the iPhone as the Gold Standard to benchmark other phones. Now, it seems like you're more impressed with the Galaxy line, and are using that as the benchmark for the iPhones.
I don't know what happened behind the scenes at The Verge but they've really stepped up their game since people hated on their HTC 10 review. You guys have put out some really good videos since then so keep it up!
You're pretty much saying that you think it's too advanced for this gen, but it's not.. If Apple wanted to throw all they have and put all their efforts into a phone, then yes, it would, but they're not doing that. They're releasing already improved upon technology little by little just so suckers that feel a need to upgrade to the new iPhone because they think they're cool throw more money at them.. It's a greedy company that has a lot more to offer than it's letting on, and it's disappointing that they don't go all out..
I have 16 gb iPhone 6 currently in Japan.I don't know anything about trading!! Please explain. Can I get Iphone 7 for free if I trade it or should I add some money??
I'm thinking of buying the new iPhone 7 but I need to bring it to school and last year a bunch of people lost the iPhone 6 when it came out because some people would leave it in there locker an people would break in and steal it
Witch Broom android users do the same exact thing with every galaxy or LG device so whats the difference? Oh right... that's basically the only way to get the latest software update (other than waiting 9 months)
Caleb Lopez actually the iPhones are a lot more repetitive. Lg and galaxy aren't the only androids out there lmao there are better phones out there than that . You just follow the iPhone train where knowledge on technology lacks big time
sounds like i did good to upgrade to S7 Edge from 6 plus and will wait easily for tenth gen iPhone while i have better battery, camera, screen and performance.
Staring at my 6S Me : Looks like someone needs an upgrade 6S : Oh GOD NO PLZ NO Me : *sees empty wallet 6S: OH GAWD YASS Me : looks like ur staying with me for another year
I don't care what Apple calls innovative; if i have to buy anything extra or add anything extra to my phone to make it functional that's going backwards.
I wanted to love the iPhone 7 when i first saw it unveil at the press conference. I was really excited, but I believe I will just skip a year and wait for the iPhone 7s and hope that a much bigger leap has been made.
I've had the S7 edge over the past few months and honestly I haven't been very impressed with it at all. The phone runs slow, battery life has been awful unless I'm in power saving mode, and apps don't perform very well. I've grown to appreciate android and the customization but my heart keeps going back to the iPhone. Can't wait for mine to arrive!
The Note 7 and the Galaxy S7 lineup is known for having the best screens and cameras on the market. Plus, the Note 7 has a Micro SD card that can be expanded to 256GB (That's ALOT btw) so..
I am from Paris so listen to me :D . Go for the NOTE, you get much more for your money...(battery life, screens, possibilities...) The only thing is that... it's not that popular.
Great phone overall with a very fast processor, and doesn't overheat. On my iPhone 5s, I would notice quickly that my phone would become hot, but not with the iPhone 7. I would recommend this to anyone that is trying to get the best operating system, but at the same time the fastest and most reliable phone. The only downside to this phone is that there is a cable that you have to plug into the charging port, which could wear down quicker over time.
Basically the same as every other phone maker. There is only so much you can add to these phones now. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an apple fan by any means, but what do people expect from a phone?
Nilay your voice is unmatched(Way awesome ) and The Verge has the best cinmatography !! This was the first iphone 7 review i saw and i know this would be the best i'll ever see ;)
this was a decent, honest review. you can still tell the verge is pro apple...but you could also hear the disappointment.
most phones look the same in a case though.
Headphone jack is going the way of the floppy disk, cd rom, flash etc etc. Apple ALWAYS does things like this and the others will eventually follow (how many new thin laptops have cd drives?). Just get over it!!! Makes a lot of sense to move to wireless. We don't complain when smartwatches dont have headphone jacks, same will go for phones and computers sooner or later.
i really curious when other brand start to follow the trend..
Sooner than you think.
+jhe3903 actually, it only makes sense when they have a better solution like floppy is replaced by thumbdrives. their solution is only either expensive or proprietary and neither adds on or improves upon the current standard apart from being wireless. 3.5mm headphones have never had much problems delivering high quality audio.
The effort The Verge puts into iPhone reviews compared to everything else...
It's an important review. Many more people will watch it and buy one than anything else they review.
because the iPhones are extremely popular so this review will be
ur annoying
Their Note 7 review, just like every single one of their most recent reviews, also has TONS of cinematography and special effects and I dare you to prove me wrong. I guess some people just LOVE to hate on something even when their arguments don't make sense.
That's because the iPhone reviews are going to be some of the most viewed. Of course they have to be excellent.
At least iPhone 7 doesn't explode
Aren't you tired of this explosion joke?
+Bernard Lim No, when a joke costs 5 billion usd
+Matthew Fan what about bendgate and chipgate?
that joke is like 2 years ago. lol
+Liam Cares exactly and the explosive note 7 joke is also gonna age cause samsung gonna learn from it just like apple.So whats the point of even bringing this "joke" up?
Every year they say "Just wait till next year to get the new iphone"
Assuming you got last model being the 6S I say this statement goes to those people more. Being worth the upgrade is basically relevant.
It's really only if you're on last years phone
gets sold out in sec anyways
+zacharysoe according to apple, yet they never show numbers.
yes
Everybody loves a bigger blacker phone. Especially my wife.
ouch
Lmao
: ) I have one if she want it
it sucks to samsung
waterproof gloss black plus size with longer battery life and a larger haptic feedback vibration motor with force touch and wireless control technology. /nocontext.
so they removed the headphone jack to make room for the heptic motor so it feels like you pushed a button? wow
damn no headphone jack.? how are you guys ganna listen to the rap i posted...
Sources says that the removing the headphone jack made it thinner and removing the home button added for extra level of water resistance. Some will like it, others will not.
+OSIIRIS Use the speakers...
The phone is the exact same thickness as the 6. It did not get thinner at all
LOL you guys are hilarious. They didn't REMOVE the headphone jack, they CHANGED IT and gave you new free headphones and a free adapter if you want to use your old ones, and they didn't remove it just to add haptic, they removed it because they made it obsolete, changed the game, added an additional speaker for Stereo output, and it was another unnecessary water ingress point they sealed up. I'm blown away that people are so stuck on not having an antiquated 3.5mm jack.
I love the iPhone videos by the Verge 😍
Agreed! Amazing review for an amazing phone.
As I said, there the best one's out there!!
This is not biased at all. Great review!
Thanks :)
+The Verge hey I would like a review unit could you tell me how to get one
sounds like sarcasm
@The Verge The Verge should get this guy to review more apple products. Its unbiased review is a much better video to watch ... Makes watching this video actually informative and yknow a GOOD review.
Nilay is the Editor-in-Chief, so he really knows his stuff.
The iPhone 7 pictures seem much less vibrant than the 6
I know right, I agree. Maybe it was a mistake and the labels should of been flipped?
I think it was cause advertising was based on pictures taken in low light situations, which was where the 6s wasn't really up to par maybe
Its not real lol
they did tht on purpose
Criston5 but in the video he claimed they were more vibrant...
Sorry is it just me, or does the iPhone 6's photo look waaaaaay better than the iPhone 7's at 4:03? Way more vibrant
that doesn't matter, when you import the photos to your pc or post them on facebook people won't be seeing the pics from the iphone 7 screen
Vibrancy and accuracy are two different things.
I feel the same way
Just what I just wrote in my own comment. Cool, I totally agree with you! I immediately noticed that the 6S+ takes the better looking pictures. Weird and...kinda cool. 😀👍
Probobly because it is better.
Beautiful video
Thank you !
Feels like a solid review, with good editing. More of this! :)
Appreciated a lot, too :D
I am so glad Apple started giving out press units. Currently on a 6S+ and I have no immediate plans on upgrading. Just...not enough differences for me.
Mee too lov mah 6s
I'm on a 6 plus and don't plan to upgrade either unless it's iPhone 9 or 10S
AT&T is giving $650 credit towards the iphone 7 if you trade in a 6/6plus, 6s/6s plus regardless of the SSD size. I can't sell my iphone 6S Plus 64GB for $650 so I might as well trade it in for a free iphone 7.
Yeah between the G4 - G5, there was nothing new, S6 to S7 nothing new, Xperia A to Xperia Z, nothing new. Phones have nothing new. It's just about if you want the newest one.
***** take out something bring it back " OMG THANK YOU So AWESOME"
wow a reviewer who isnt a 100% isheep. verge keep this guy around. a real reviewer 👍
This guy is the co-founder of The Verge.
He's more of a galaxysheep
Chris G no. Hes giving his honest opinions on the subject. Just like when other verge reviewers refer to the iphone. I see no problem with him not praising this phone
That's our editor-in-chief, Nilay Patel! Hopefully he will keep himself around.
So praising the phone would make him a sheep? but praising Samsung doesn't? I am ignorant to your logic.
the way this video was edited is truly amazing 😭🔥
Yes it was.
I liked the iPhone 6 space grey design more
Yep still dream of buying that one
The only good thing about the iphone 7 is that it allows you to be emo to the extremo
haha good one!
I listened to this review. with headphones. in my headphone jack. that's in my phone.
Wow. So clever. Good thing the new iPhone has a headphone jack... and free headphones... and a free adapter if you want to keep using those headphones you already have. Whatever will we do without a 3.5mm jack? Our lives are certainly over and Apple is stupid and everyone else that still has a 3.5mm jack is certainly superior lol
Me too!!! A 6s, and can't wait for the airpods won't be long until competition does the same but for now they'll just be like "we got a headphone uhhhh cough cough iPhone 7 is stupid"
just stop
the competition already did it. moto z has no headphone jack.
+kev127 Samsung does and theylk be the ones that beat apple
Apple needs to put a led notification light on an iPhone, I think it should be around the home button, nice look
Or an always on notification on the screen
ikr
what is this 2008?
it's always one
*That would be totally annoying especially at night, I get notifications all time the light would stay on 24/7 very annoying*
3D Touch is amazing... after using it for about 8 months I'm attached to it...
I had a iPhone in my hand and forgot to try it out, but I still admit that it sounds like a feature that should be in all phones.
What do you like about it? I only experienced it for a few weeks before i switched back to Samsung. I din't find much use for it besides live photos (which I loved)
It's pretty much useless... Just a gimmic.
+Corporal Cookie may be for ios 9 but with ios 10 it's just amazing. It's everywhere in Notification Center, folders, widgets, control center and now more apps have implemented it too.
+titoli1 Samsung s voice was gimmick, Samsung heart rate monitor is a gimmick, even the iris scanner...
I thought it was an iPod touch 😂
basically is aha
do you comment that on every iPhone video
no and idk where you would get that assumption. Even if i did comment on the video twice.
Not you the guy who said he thought it was an iPod touch
+three point one four does it look like I have time to do that? Lmao
Steve Jobs rolling in his grave looking at this new phone
No, he didn't. He's more upset with the fact that Android copied iOS/iPhone brick by brick. He's right.
Yeah sure, why don't you stop using the the pull down notification bar ?
logam berat Android copied iOS? Lol that's a first
+Jc Garcia 😂😂
+Romain Cavallini haha, nice one; but that came much later kid
Thanks for confirming what I expected since the 7 was announced.
My perfectly running 6+ should be good until the REAL upgrade comes out.
Yeah don't buy the 7 ima buy the 6s the 7 can wait
you should wait for iPhone 8
+Leave Me Alone thats a whole nother year lol
+Leave Me Alone by then apple will release iPhone 8 without a screen saying its " Innovating " 😂
+Gerardo Diaz why buy the 6s if the 7 is basically the 6s but with new and improved features?
how did you manage to fit a right earphone into your left ear? lol
He loves apple so much, his ears can't let go.
+Zulqarnain Aidil hahahahahahaha
The Chinese predicted it
its stupid
Ikr
One of THE best reviews done by The Verge.
Keep it up guys!
:) glad you enjoyed
►►►► Heey Friendsssss I Haveee Justt Won Brandd New iPhone 6s From visittttt : - t.co/iDCt5ricUt
What he is saying is that Samsung is better
So?
Do you really think Apple is better
Till it burst into flames !!!
Only poor people buy android phones bro...
The gs7 edge is $950... which is more expensive than every version of the iphone 7 and all but one version of the 7+
I'll just wait for the iPhone 8
If you aren't doing anything more than talk text and a few videos on your phone.. there is no need to upgrade from the 5s/6/6+/6s/6s+/se for the next 5 years... By then we'll have new network technologies like 5G and even then 4G LTE will be absolutely everywhere at full rated speed of 50mpbs...
Smart man (or women)
I have an iphone 5. Its not even an "S".
Jonathan wealth != smartphone. I've got a iPhone 6 Plus and it has not missed a beat for the things I use it for. It just needs to do calls, texts, navigation, news, and youtube.
What if I have an extremely slow 4s? Should I wait? (Screen cracked back and front, very slow when doing anything on it, phone dies at 25% battery) Or should I just go for the 7
the S iPhones are supposed to be the prototype ones. this is like an iPhone 6SS
yap
Thats inappropriate (World War 2)
+Mathijs Molenaar 6SE?
+Mathijs Molenaar PC much?
Actually, I think the S versions are refined versions of the non-S ones. 5S improved on 5, and 6S improved on 6. This is very much the iPhone 7 non-S.
I need to see a bend test for this Iphone.
ram
Why? Do you routinely purchase $900 products, and then treat them like shit and bend them? If so, a phone might not be for you.
They already fixed that with the 6s
+ZCT808 tell that to techrax
don't sit on it and it won't bend.
i really believed that they would add wireless charging! still cant believe they didn't
!
They'll introduce that next year to give fanboys another feature to talk about that has been on other devices for years.
No thanks. 3+ hours to charge. useless.
They're saving that for the s version I hope.
I use wireless charging now for years! Its so much simpler to just lay down your phone on your table and it loads overnight.
Also its better for the battery life.
Right!? It's so stupid that they remove the headphone jack and tout that the future is wireless then they don't even include wireless charging which, as +faddi23 stated, has been in other devices for years.
The Verge reviews are unbeatable. Thanks for this awesome content!!!
Nobody spends a whole lot of money for that dual camera. Buy a DSLR dude!
Samsung fanboy piss off
When you have a phone and a dslr quality lens in your pocket, that's pretty impressive, of course people are going to buy this model instead of the smaller one. Especially as it has 3gb of ram.
it's good for sure but not dlsr quality. if you have an iphone 6 and want a better camera don't upgrade the phone get an awesome dslr.
Why would I spend my money on a DSLR if I will never carry the camera everywhere I go. Most photos worth taking are those that happen when you least expect it. DSLRs are not the perfect solution for everybody.
Anthony Turner absolutely. And that definitely isn't a dslr. That is something that would be with me rarely.
still, bomb 7 > iPhone 7
+Majed Mohammed Galaxy S7 and S7 edge don't have this only the Note 7
Nah man iP7 > s7/N7
yeah its the note i have the S7 edge and and no explodeing
Bomb 7 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
Apple no longer innovates correctly...
Apple no longer innovates*
What does the word innovate mean to you, actually what company can always keep "innovation" up. And why is it that people expect Just one company to do it? I'm fine with the way they've been going, the only thing that lets me down is the camera bumps and the sometimes bad software launches.
Yes they do need to hit the chalk board and figure out what can help the consumer next, regarding products.
But the 8 is supposed to be the real upgrade.
What great inovations have Samsung done?
+Random 1235689 Fast charging, wireless charging, fast wireless charging,, Super AMOLED, higher than a 750p resolution, curved display, etc
+CraveQube and can you tell me what has apple invented since Wozniak left?
I'm done with Apple if there aren't meaningful changes on the next iPhone...
+sexntuna Best phone out there, I other than the galaxy 7
+sexntuna Fast and wireless charging would be nice
+sexntuna also an IR blaster
+sexntuna Ios is decent, but it is very locked off
+sexntuna IMO the only thing Apple has going for it rn is iOS and it's performance. embarrassingly enough Android still hasn't beaten the 6s in performance due to Android being such an unoptimized OS and lazy OEMs
Waited long enough, my iPhone 5 gets retired in a few days.
Wait some more, like another year for the 10th year anniversary iPhone 7s!
Mate I still have an iphone 4 :(
Mustaine_24 I have the 6 and getting the 7+!
mine is on its last legs too. its been attempting suicide for a while now...
@@ftgphoto And, there's no 7s
"A gorgeous display" 😂😂 Are you kidding? that thing is still 720p, not even close to a Note7
Clearly you don't know what 720p looks like
It has the best LCD screen in mobile phones. I agree that it's technically behind but I'm sure that it would have a good display and this is coming from someone who uses the galaxy s7
It does have a gorgeous display. Regardless of the resolution which is not everything especially on a 4.7 inch phone!
As a Samsung fan, I think this review is actually pretty realistic. Nice video!
Before I even watch it has the Verge calmed down their Apple bias yet?
Your maybe bias on android but not verge
It's hard to tell. XD
a bit
Well, it's the most critical review of an Apple product they have ever made... Still gets 9.0 as final score. First time a Samsungs flagship phone is rated higher than a current Iphone. But just by 0.1 in score.
Much more tame than normal.
Serious question, when they said that they removed the headphone jack to make it water resistant, how come samsung's phone has a headphone jack and has a higher water resistance rating? I feel like it's a lie to from Apple to remove analog media so they have more control over things in the future
Just another reason to piss people off
The best verge review I've ever watched! Re-subbing, more from this reviewer please he gives excellent unbiased reviews. Will be interesting to see a video from him comparing the iPhone 7 vs rivals.
When they hand you the aux cord but you using an IPhone 7
congratulations on stealing someone else's joke....
That's why Apple ships an adapter.
D:
dongle*
I'm only thinking about upgrading because 16gbs is not enough space nowadays man.
Then get the same phone u have but in 32gb and save urself some dollars.
same
if youre thinking about upgrading from a 6s to a 7 just because you want the extra 16gigs then you deserve to take the $700 hit
When iCaveman discovers fire...
+LreviewsT iphone 6 doesn't come in 32 gb tho
overpriced phone mostly bought by ppl just for the image. Specs wise there are far better phones.
How many times do we need to tell you people that specs don't always matter?
How many benchmarks do you need to see to realize that android specs are just words on a page...actual real-life performance is where iPhones excel...nice promises of terabytes of ram exist in the android word but you still see stuttering on 2016 devices...
still overpiced for its real life performance
Matthew Gonzales sure they don't always matter, the iOS is a simple operating system I understand if that's why some people get it. However it's still highly overpriced.
The iPhone 7 will blow every other phone out of the water when it comes to the Geekbench tests! Just watch
Great review, great phone. But I'd rather wait for the next 7S model.
That is true))
I don't think there will be an S model next year. It's just gonna straight away jump to 8
12 months is hardly a long time
G
apples 10th anniversary???
Thnx Apple, now i dont need to upgrade my 6. Let's hope 7S will be something nice..
The 7S better come out with something spectacular considering it will be the iPhone's 10th year -- that's a milestone year for the iPhone.
Announcing the I phone 7S! We were the only ones courageous enough to Shrink your battery life. and this is the 7S were talking about so we shrunk it not once, not twice, but 7 times smaller than the original.
Think thats great? well get ready for our newest charging cable amply named, "IPod super charger" it replaces the old thunderbolt charger with apples new proprietary charger. unfortunately it's incompatible with any past chargers or accessories. But don't worry because it now charges your phone 5% faster than before!
but it's also our tenth anniversary so to celebrate we'll start the pricing at 10x the price of the original Iphone 7
Lol there’s no iPhone 7s
4:03-4:10 imo 6S photos were better than the 7
4:08 - 4:15 nice try lol
Looks like they switched the labels cus the left photos look a lot more vibrant...
This was the same conclusion I was coming to. It's a good upgrade, but there's no need to jump ship from my 6S to a 7 at this stage. Good review guys!
wait for next year.
although i'm not an apple fan, this was really good to watch.
nice review!
A little bit more vibrant? The 7+ pictures look greyer to me :/
With how much air pods cost I better be able to hear harambes last words
I'm assuming you never owned a pair of beats? Those cost way more than airpods yet everyone has em
What it comes with the phone why just get the headphones
Does anyone ever talk about the speakers? I wanna know how loud they sound.
Really nice. Loud af
Ecryptix ! I have the 7 plus. They're quite a bit louder, and sound more full. The bottom speaker is probably the same as on the previous ones, but the top speaker adds a lot to the experience.
HeySoQueso does it have huge difference with regular speaker on the older models?
At 4:01, the iP6S+ photo is actually better!
Actually, if you check inside the phone, the space where the headphone jack is, seems to be to be replaced by the new home button feature
The Taptic Engine* and btw, any iPhone will look like an iPhone if it has a case on
So it's like an engineering mistake.. they couldn't make room for the headphone jack and they left it out.
decision* not mistake...
I may be mistaken, but haven't Android phones had haptic ("taptic") feedback for years?
I remember my old GS3 having it with the keyboard.
ehh, it feels better on the iphone lol
lol it's not like haptic feedback is different amongst different Android phones, right?
That was touch not pressure sensitive.
or lg or htc
***** Okay, cheers 🍻, man. Good luck
My name is Jafar
I come from afar
I have a note 7 in my car
Allahu Akbar
So lit
L
Hehe
Explode the car with the phone that's a star
not original
Samsung can never pull ahead visually in my book, until they quit plastering their name above their phone screens. I hate that.
a) a logo is less distracting than text and 2) they don't plaster it on the FRONT of their phones the way samsung does.
I've got news for you buddy...
I can't even remember the last time I saw a samsung phone with the word samsung on the front of the phone, or any writing for that matter.
I will buy the NOTE 7 for sure
+a dead account I agree with you it a great phone, but I think the note7 after they fix the battery issue, it's will be the best phone ever. And if you want a great phone form Apple, then you should wait until iPhone 8 release!
RIP Abdllah
+ABDLLAH ALMALKI agreed
the non exploding ones came out
xDoge PvP they just canceled production
Wow, so gone are the days when you guys used the iPhone as the Gold Standard to benchmark other phones. Now, it seems like you're more impressed with the Galaxy line, and are using that as the benchmark for the iPhones.
Nope, iPhone is still the benchmark. Galaxy is no benchmark. They're better.
Brock McClain Not that I agree with you, but I was just talking about how TheVerge structures its reviews.
4:00 left picture looks better than right picture..?
I don't know what happened behind the scenes at The Verge but they've really stepped up their game since people hated on their HTC 10 review. You guys have put out some really good videos since then so keep it up!
You're pretty much saying that you think it's too advanced for this gen, but it's not.. If Apple wanted to throw all they have and put all their efforts into a phone, then yes, it would, but they're not doing that. They're releasing already improved upon technology little by little just so suckers that feel a need to upgrade to the new iPhone because they think they're cool throw more money at them.. It's a greedy company that has a lot more to offer than it's letting on, and it's disappointing that they don't go all out..
At least they aren't Going BOOM 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It is the most powerful phome, don't trust me. Just look at tge benchmarks
That's business for u ..
Why do benchmarks matter when the iPhone is running 720p lol I feel sorry for you benchmark guys
TBH I think the only thing that's cool about the new iPhone is the jet black color
ALL of my ear buds are wireless. I couldn't tell you the last time I actually plugged into my phone. Won't be missed!
Welcome to the Future!
I have a pair of bang & olufsen H6 headphones that I plug in but I'll just use the included dongle. Problem solved.
Getting the Jet Black, 7 plus :")
128 or 256?
Dilir Daiyan 256 !
Awesome!!!
You tool
***** I have an S7 edge as well, I think I'm fine.
After spending years with midrange android phones,This update is hallelujah.Iphone 7 is a greatest update ever for me.
don't you just love those natural and organic pub pictures lol
Dope video!!🤘🏼🎉😜😎
Thanks!
The latest iPhone with advanced camera, better battery life, immersive speakers and water resistance! *Check it out here: **t.co/fOd2HWIA5K** :)*
Time to sell my iphone 6s. Just Add $100 and wallaaaa iPhone 7
good idea
Why not just trade in and get the iPhone 7 for free (with $650 trade in credit from ur 6s)
+Henry The Unicorn, Isn't T-Mobile the only carrier with $650 trade in value?
chickdan5 No Verizon has it too. And so does every other carrier
I have 16 gb iPhone 6 currently in Japan.I don't know anything about trading!! Please explain. Can I get Iphone 7 for free if I trade it or should I add some money??
I'm thinking of buying the new iPhone 7 but I need to bring it to school and last year a bunch of people lost the iPhone 6 when it came out because some people would leave it in there locker an people would break in and steal it
So don't leave it in your locker and just keep it on you, lol wtf?
+Hi, I'm Batman you have to sign papers in the beginning of the year that for the whole year you leave you're phone in you're locker.
+Fritz Phanor Don't sign the papers ?
Diego Torres because my school is retarded
Oliver Lane idk
Thanks for the side by side comparisons
great review!
went from 6splus to galaxy s7 edge dont regret it one bit
Why are the bezels still so big?
Sorry this isn't android, normal people don't care about stupid stuff like that.
+Caleb Lopez right because iPhone users don't care about anything that's why they buy the same iPhone Everytime a "newer" one is out lmao
Witch Broom android users do the same exact thing with every galaxy or LG device so whats the difference? Oh right... that's basically the only way to get the latest software update (other than waiting 9 months)
Caleb Lopez actually the iPhones are a lot more repetitive. Lg and galaxy aren't the only androids out there lmao there are better phones out there than that . You just follow the iPhone train where knowledge on technology lacks big time
I'm a normal person who was an iPhone user lol.
When he was taking a picture of the burger. It made me so hungry. lol
I appreciate the honest review. I ordered it because I have the 5S and need a new phone; otherwise I would not have upgraded from a 6 version.
this convinced me to finally let my aging iPhone 5s go.
thats embarrassing..
same lol
im still using the 4s haha
god damn
***** nothing, i just need more storage
illary Clinton> iPhone 7 > Bomb 7
We don't need 2 cameras or a motor to make you think you pushed a button.
sounds like i did good to upgrade to S7 Edge from 6 plus and will wait easily for tenth gen iPhone while i have better battery, camera, screen and performance.
Staring at my 6S
Me : Looks like someone needs an upgrade
6S : Oh GOD NO PLZ NO
Me : *sees empty wallet
6S: OH GAWD YASS
Me : looks like ur staying with me for another year
They should've called it iPhone 6 minus.
I don't care what Apple calls innovative; if i have to buy anything extra or add anything extra to my phone to make it functional that's going backwards.
BT is the Future
UGH! Why won't anyone talk about the stereo speaker quality?!
I wanted to love the iPhone 7 when i first saw it unveil at the press conference. I was really excited, but I believe I will just skip a year and wait for the iPhone 7s and hope that a much bigger leap has been made.
I've had the S7 edge over the past few months and honestly I haven't been very impressed with it at all. The phone runs slow, battery life has been awful unless I'm in power saving mode, and apps don't perform very well. I've grown to appreciate android and the customization but my heart keeps going back to the iPhone. Can't wait for mine to arrive!
iPhone 6s or note 7?? I need a phone that has a good camera and lots of storage
The Note 7 and the Galaxy S7 lineup is known for having the best screens and cameras on the market. Plus, the Note 7 has a Micro SD card that can be expanded to 256GB (That's ALOT btw) so..
S7 edge
I am from Paris so listen to me :D . Go for the NOTE, you get much more for your money...(battery life, screens, possibilities...) The only thing is that... it's not that popular.
Well Rip note 7
icrap 8 will have a headphone jack, you watch...
Fanboys nowadays stfu
Nope... you watch!
Highly unlikely. Although Samsung will soon make phones with no headphone jack. You watch.
Nope just you watch
these phones are pieces of crap.
Great phone overall with a very fast processor, and doesn't overheat. On my iPhone 5s, I would notice quickly that my phone would become hot, but not with the iPhone 7. I would recommend this to anyone that is trying to get the best operating system, but at the same time the fastest and most reliable phone. The only downside to this phone is that there is a cable that you have to plug into the charging port, which could wear down quicker over time.
if only all the verge videos where like this .... amazing job , great editing and quality.
*gorgeous displays*.....ahahaahahaha ! :v
You dont need more than that!
I hardly feel the difference,only on 40 inches
when u r using s7edge ...it matters..... *somewhat same price tag though* ...hahaha !
gorgeous 750p ! :D
The production values on your review videos are really impressive given how quickly you need to get them out there.
those visual effects really make the review even more awesome
Dont talk to me youtube unless the video comes with a headphone jack
Apple does it again basically the same phone with a few minor improvements lol😂😁😄
Basically the same as every other phone maker. There is only so much you can add to these phones now. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an apple fan by any means, but what do people expect from a phone?
That's how the company makes a ton of money. Apple didn't become the world's most valuable company by sitting and doing nothing.
Removing the headphone jack isn't much of an improvement
Me: Gets iphone six plus
Two days later: new phone comes out
Me: 😭
Nilay your voice is unmatched(Way awesome ) and The Verge has the best cinmatography !!
This was the first iphone 7 review i saw and i know this would be the best i'll ever see ;)
Came here to appreciate iPhone 7 Plus since I’m using it as a main device toy save up enough for 12 pro max
"might have problems with exploding" lmaooo
Over 3.4k EMAILS ?
Say no more 😂😭
Wow. This is the kind of content I subscribe to The Verge for. More of this guys!
