Have you got a new Apple's latest handset? Personally, I'd like to say that the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have no big impressions on me. Sometimes we could not even tell whether it's an iPhone 7 or its predecessor, since it looks identical from the outside. Primarily, compared to iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, the new iPhone 7 ships with a better processor, a slightly larger battery size and, dual camera system on the iPhone 7 Plus. Of course, the waterproof feature and no headphone jack. Actually, it's not that bad to cut the headphone jack I think, if it could really improve the sound quality.
So, if you have no desire for a new iPhone 7, it's OK because we know that next year is Apple's ten year anniversary, it has been rumored since long that the next iPhone would be a revolutionary product. But for now, even if there is no impressive feature on the newest Apple handset, but together the hardware and software of the iPhone 7, still makes it the best iPhone ever.

Besides, one of the most controversial changes of the iPhone is the lighting connector instead of the traditional headphone jack, and with the coming AirPods, you can enjoy improved sound quality. Of course, if you insist listen to music with the old headphone, you can use the headphone jack adapter included.
4. Take even better photos and selfies.
Maybe the biggest upgrade of new iPhone, the refined camera and of course, the dual camera system on the iPhone 7 Plus. Both of them comes with Optical Image Stabilization, and the wide aperture lens plus boosted four LED flash make it even better photos on low light conditions.
