Hey Tech fans and majorly Apple enthusiasts, earlier this year we saw Apple during the WorldWide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2016 launching a series or devices, MacOS and more upgrades to its devices.

Biggest thing that Tech companies nowadays can't block are rumours, give the tech enthusiasts the name and tomorrow they will tell you what you're up to. Apple had talked of dual-lens camera feature being the biggest feature for the iPhone7, this is now available on the iPhone7 Plus. The IPhone 7 gets to keep the 12MP back camera but adds a larger aperture compared to the previous iPhone 6 but packed with Optical Image Stabilizer. The iPhone 7 Plus now changes everything with its second 56mm telephoto lens on the back (dual-camera) that works like a built-in zoom feature and works seamlessly (there's a new icon in the phone's Camera app that lets you quickly jump to 2X for authentic optical zoom via the telephoto lens, and it goes up to a 10X digital zoom that's actually not that noisy) with the other lens and brings out a stellar low-light performance taking photos one step closer to Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera aaaaand finally! An iPhone that is water resistant but don't go too far with that, just not more than a minute.

The new front-facing camera (webcam) is something to talk about because of it new updates. Talk of the new 7MP webcam from the 5MP one from its predecessor the iPhone 6. and it also includes an auto-image stabilizer to keep images steady, what its missing is an optical image stabilizer.

Something else that is totally new is the Static home button that is now in solid state. In solid state I mean you cannot physically press or click it in. This somehow is better because I know if some friend's iPhone home button that got damaged because of over-pressing the home button. The new Home button is pressure-sensitive, including "taptic feedback", which means that apps can give your three levels of pressure and haptic feedback like a light or strong buzz.

Another new feature is the no headphone jack introducing the era of wireless headset. Apple has killed the headphone jack to resurrect the Bluetooth headset. Apple unveiled it's new tech the Apple Airpods which connects wirelessly through auto-pairing. To those those who still want wired headphones Apple has got you sorted with the Apple Earpods headphones which connects through the Lightening connector port; you'll get it's adaptor in the box.

Now lets talk of its beauty, that is the size, shape, feel and the colours. The iPhone 7 compared to the iPhone 6 there is no much difference. Same 4.7-inch screen, Apple says the "HD Retina display" is 25% brighter than last year's model. It includes the pressure-sensitive 3D Touch layer that buzzes slightly when you press and hold the screen. This type of technology is replacing buttons. Colours, this time Apple has given the iPhone 7 a new glossy jet black colour (only available for the 128GB and 256GB models), matte black (almost like grey), gold, silver and rose gold.

I always respect Apple products because of its great performance and I know you also agree with me on that. Now the iPhone 7 has been upgraded with faster processor of speeds up to 40% faster than last year's A9 processor. This new beautiful monster has been packed with the a 64-bit, quad-core A10 Fusion chip.

Talk of all those upgrades in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus with its dual camera feature and the performance you just have to think about its Battery Life. This beautiful monster has been equipped with greater battery capacity to longer battery life. Apple estimates it to 12 hours of LTE browsing and giving the iPhone 7 plus 2 more hours.
