Apple iPhone 7 (32GB) - Black

Firstly, let me clarify.. I do not belong to Apple Die hard fans and followers' club. I too was drawn towards this device as a replacement when my Moto E First Gen one fine day stopped working and didn't recover. So this is a transition from Android to iOS. Am I missing Android ? Honestly - NO. I thought it's time to buy a perfect and latest device for myself, not because I was completely sure of what it does, just because I could now afford it. I know, iPhone 8 and iPhone X are in the market today. But this phone in every respect is still relevant today and in no way can be considered outdated. If you wish you buy an iPhone that doesn't hit your pocket much and is not outdated, this is the most perfect phone to buy today. Buying 6 or 6s would be a risk because apple might stop supporting its update in a few years. As I mentioned, this review is not from a crazy Apple product lover. (Although it may sound like one) Pros: 1. The screen dimensions and phone size is perfect. It's exactly what I need. Not too thick and not extremely flimsy. Though some might prefer the iPhone 7 plus, I think it's too big to carry in your pocket. 2. Processor and Speed: this I noticed not just about this iPhone but for iPad also, the processor speed is really awesome. Windows laptops, android phones and tabs do hang and freeze. This phone in last one year has NEVER. It might not sound much of a big deal but usually phones hang when you desperately need them in urgency and you don't want to be in that position ever. 3. Screen Quality: the screen looks amazing and Colors are extremely fine. 4. Camera: now please note that this is not a DSLR. So no matter how much the phone companies advertise, phone cameras will always be inferior to a professional DLSR. That's the reason why camera companies aren't out of business. Having said that, the camera of this phone (both front and back) are really good and they do their job. 6. No Headphone Jack: I thought it would be a matter of concern, but it isn't. It has only motivated me to take care of my headphone even more and that's the only reason they are still intact and working properly. I am sure you won't miss the jack. Besides, if you fear losing the small adapter, it's better to buy Bluetooth headphones. They fit it really well with this phone. 7. Cross platform flexibility: this is what I was most worried about. How this device would blend in with my windows laptop and all other apps and features which I earlier used in windows and Android. Surprisingly, the transition was smooth and hassle free. There may be people who disagree, but I never missed any feature which android provided. Infact, itunes, iCloud and other apple features have made the life much easier as compared to android. 8. 32 GB storage: I think it's sufficient today. Most people use their phones as storage devices. If you're one of them then even 256GB variant is not enough. So install the apps you actually use, backup the photos in to your laptop regularly, put videos and songs only the ones you listen and actually watch. You will surprise yourself that filling up 32GB space is also difficult. Now, most importantly... CONS: 1. Body Finishing: You have to have a back cover for this phone in order to avoid it slipping from your hands. The tighter you grip it without cover, the easily it would slip. Also, I initially used a cover which had a seive pattern on it. The same pattern got imprinted on back of the phone (though not easily visible). Go for an all solid or all plastic cover which can provide grip. 2. Battery backup: The battery backup of this phone is bit of a problem. With moderate usage also, it can consume battery before the end of the day and you have to be very economical about it. 3. No dual sim: I know, many would frown after reading this. And I know why Apple has still not released a dual sim iPhone.. but I wish this phone was dual sim. The other 2 cons can be mitigated, this one however can only be settled by having a backup phone. Add the Dual sim feature and apple would bring in a swarm of new users who hesitated from iPhone. iPhone ACCESSORIES RECOMMENDATION 1. Screen Guard: you may go for any standard screen guard but honestly you don't need one. No screen guard can protect your screen from breaking. I have not used any screen guard for more than year and the screen looks as new. Just make sure you don't put the keys and phone in the same pocket and surely phone will shine for years. Also, let me mention here that my phone HAS FALLEN from a decent height face down on solid floor twice but the glass is strong enough to sustain without absolutely no physical damage. 2. Back cover: I think this is a must accessory. You need not spend much on this. Egotude transparent color (black shade) will go perfectly with it. It provides the necessary grip and scratch resistance to your phone back. 3. Headphones: in case you lose your Apple earphones, as per your budget, buy a Bluetooth headset, something that suits your pocket and you're good to go. 4. Cleaning Spray and Cloth: If you wish to keep your phone new and clean, please invest in this. It's a very small investment but the returns are huge. Buy any camera lens cleaning Spray and soft cloth. Every 10-15 days, take the phone out of cover and thoroughly clean the phone and cover as well. Your phone will shine a little longer and will look brand new for years. All it needs is just a little touch of care from you. Hope the review helps. Cheers 🖖🏻

Overview - On the outside, the new iPhone looks basically the same as the iPhone 6/6s. They are now water resistant, which is nice, although they’re not fully waterproof, keep them submerged in a meter of water for more than 30 minutes and things might not go your way. Once you wrap your head around the missing audio jack (it's not the end of it, you can get a designated adapter for your favorite headphones), the Apple iPhone 7 is a major upgrade. IP67-certified water-resistant body. Bigger and brighter camera with OIS. New FaceTime cam. Stereo speakers. Faster processor and 50% GPU performance increase, more RAM. New pressure-sensitive Home key powered by a new taptic engine. Revised storage options. Battery - iPhone 7 is powered with the newest A10 Fusion chip. It is a quad core processor which helps in better managing the battery life. It takes around 2hrs to completely charge from 0-100% and the battery usually lasts a day. I am a heavy user, and use the phone quite a lot during the day. Whatsapp, Twitter, Calling and Messaging are the main battery draining apps for me. I will be left with 20-25% battery at the end of the day with typical usage. Performance - Apple made the best mobile chipset from which others can only learn from. Its dual-core processor, even without the help of the tiny energy efficient cores, beats any other processor out there. The A10 GPU is equally impressive acing every graphic benchmark. The iPhone 7 is the fastest and most powerful smartphone in the world as of now. Audio - iPhone 7 has stereo speakers, considering my previous iPhone was the 5s, it is a huge upgrade for me in the audio performance. Loudspeaker is pretty good, audio output is loud and clear. Call quality is damn good. Camera - The colors and contrast are great and the dynamic range is simply great - much like you would get on dedicated big cameras. In any case, the iPhone 7 delivers the most balanced dynamic range from any smartphone at the moment. The optical image stabilization is the addition that really matters as it will keep the lens steady and won't allow for blurry shots at low-light. The front-facing camera got its resolution boosted to 7MP and records 1080p video. It can use Retina flash, where your screen lights up in different colors depending on the intended white balance of the scene. Pretty good when taking selfies in dark environment. Coming to the 4k video recording, it is the best camera when it comes to 4k Video, Period. Overall a great package and the phone will definitely last 3+ years if used carefully. There won't be any performance issues considering Apple will provide updates regularly and the phone won't lag after using it for a year or so unlike the android phones. The phone is also water and dust resistant, if we accidentally end up dropping the phone in water, there is no need to worry. The phone can even be used to take pictures in swimming pool and shallow water(Be careful with the depth of water else phone will be toast). Putting a case and a screen protector will ruin the beauty of phone and the phone won't feel the same, but if you are the one who drops the phone constantly then Case and Screen protectors are necessary evils. I got it for a price of 36500/- in the Great Indian Sale :p Absolutely Loving it !!

I'm writing this review after using the iPhone 7 for about a week, here are the things that I liked, disliked and thought are worth to mention. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -WHATS IN THE BOX- ================== 1. THE IPHONE 7 ITSELF 2. THE LIGHTNING EARPODS 3. LIGHTNING TO 3.5 MM JACK CONVERTOR 4. LIGHTNING TO USB CABLE 5. POWER ADAPTER 6. SIM EJECTOR PIN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -THE DESIGN- ============= So the new iPhone 7 black variant has a nice aluminum body with matte finish. the iPhone 7 is also now waterproof with IP67 rating. the 12mp rear camera with the led flash are present on the back, the power button with the I'm tray are present on the right side, the volume rockers and the profile button are located on the left side, on the front we have the 7mp f2.2 camera, ear piece, sensors and the 4.7 inch 1334x750-pixel resolution at 326 ppi display and the home button are present, now the home button is not really a button, it has what apple calls the taptic engine which gives a haptic feedback and simulated a real button, but doesn't really feels like a button, you can select the type of haptic feedback you like form three options. the home button also has the fingerprint scanner or touch id, its a nice quick and accurate scanner. the 4.7 inch display great too. with great viewing angles, vibrancy, and color reproduction. the colors looks natural and with nice saturation and contrast. expected nothing less from apple on this. now the biggest down side of this phone is the removal of the headphone, apple says that the lightning connector works great as an audio source for headphones, but I still miss my the 3.5mm jack, apple did provide a small lightning to 3.5mm adapter which is something you also need to carry around if you want to listen from your normal headphones or you have to switch to Bluetooth audio. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -THE CAMERA- ============= the camera has a good improvement from the iPhone 6s, it doesn't have dual cameras like the iPhone 7 plus, but it performs great. the are very detailed with great color reproduction, contrast level. the images are vibrant with good amount of saturation and sharpness. the 12mp camera now also have optical image stabilization so the video are nice and stabilized as the iPhone 6s it also shoots in 4k, the front facing 7mp camera has been improved a lot, its has nice wide frame and the image quality is also very natural, the video quality of the front facing camera is also nice you have to be careful with lighting or otherwise the contrast levels sometimes gets messed up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -THE PERFORMENCE- ====================== the iPhone 7 has the apple A10 fusion chips with six core graphics and 2gb of ram, the new processor performs great, it easily handles heavy usage and gaming, multitasking is also very fluid, it easily handles tons of app running in the background simultaneously with just 2gb of ram. the iPhone 7 comes with the new iOS 10 which has great features like the new version of siri and improved 3d touch. if you are a moderate user it will work flawlessly for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -THE BATTERY- ================ the iPhone 7 only have a 1960 mah battery, but don't let that small size fool you it easily lasts a day even under heavy usage you can easily get it to work till night. another down side of this phone is that it doesn't support fast charging, it takes around 2 hours to fully charge from 10% to 100%. but you can also use an ipad charger to make the charging speed a little bit faster. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - THE PROS AND CONS- -THE PROS- ========== 1. GREAT BUILD QUALITY 2. WATERPROOF 3. GREAT CAMERA 4. GREAT DISPLAY 5. FINGERPRINT SCANNER 6. GREAT FOR GAMING 7. GREAT FOR MULTITASKING 8. STEREO SPEAKERS -THE CONS- ============ 1. NO HEADPHONE JACK 2. NO FAST CHARGING ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINAL VERDICT- The iPhone is a great flagship smartphone with great specs, performance and camera, it might not be that much worth to upgrade from an iPhone 6 or 6s but if you want the better camera, waterproofing you can definitely go for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THANK YOU

Got the iPhone 7 for 43K on Prime Day Sale. Have been using it for almost a month now. It came in authentic Apple box. Checked all the contents inside after opening. All genuine. Mine was shipped by Cloudtail. The experience has been sublime so far. I'm a convert, from Android to iOS. The first thing that struck me after using the phone for the very first time was that it's super user friendly. The M10 processor is the fastest processor on a smartphone yet. It's capable of performing endless tasks in one go. I didn't even bother to switch off any background apps for a few days. It's damn fast. Also, the iPhone is built in such a way that it can extract the maximum juice out of its hardware. Its 2GB RAM is more than capable of performing all your tasks without any fuss. The camera is impressive too. The pictures have minimum noise. The details are pretty sharp. I've seen a better camera phone than this though (OnePlus 3/3T, for instance). The stereo speakers are one of the best speakers in a smartphone right now. Their performance is awesome. The sound gives a theatre like feel to the music. The EarPods are great too. I'd recommend to set the volume at 50% though. They can get pretty loud. The battery backup is decent enough. My phone lasts the entire day on full charge. I only charge it once in 24 hours. Lasts about 2/3rd of the day on mixed usage (browsing, video playback, music). All in all, it's a worthy investment as you'll get updates for three years and the hardware is capable enough to last that long. Also, get a solid case for protection from slips as it's a bit on the slippery side. Spigen is a good option. Go for it if you've been thinking of switching loyalties.

First, I was very much skeptical to order an iPhone over the internet, be is amazon or flipkart, I still feel its the luck factor when you still get your costly devices in hand one piece as they should be; given the terrified instances we have seen with many retailers. I understand there's little control over these things, even from amazon's perspective (which they are doing a splendid job), I feel the onus completely lies on the retailer. Alright, so the core part of this...... Amazing, superb, splendid, awesome, classic...I feel short on adjectives to define this masterpiece...Apple,,,I have started to fall in love with Apple devices. I have resisted them over the years, but now I realize I have 3 of them....you can choose to ignore but can't resist. A simple, yet powerful device, makes your life hell lot easy...powered packed components. One thing which I admire about this is that they dont need jazzy advertisements or fake ratings to promote apple devices, they are build the way you wouldn't hate them. Although the ram seems to be less, the memory management is so efficient that you dont have to bother on clearing the cache (unlike android). Display is superb, crystal clear...just make sure you get a tempered glass, and it adds an additional beauty to this. i still wonder when you made such an excellent device, why cant apple build the glass that way. So far I feel 32 GB is enough although I have started taking more pictures...you'll feel the need to do it given the camera quality. They should have given an option for potrait mode (with some additional price ofcourse). This is for someone who dont want a large screen but needs a dual camera and potrait mode. Still I am pretty much happy with the picture quality and the composition. I like the touch button and the level of customization available. overall, not regretting the decision at all...happy about it....I think I made the right choice.

Sure, Apple's new iPhone 7 and iPhone7 Plus are amazing. They're fast. They have cool new cameras. They're available in a sleek jet black finish. And they're even water-resistant, so you can play Pokémon GO in the rain. But they're not perfect, so before you shell out $650 or more for a new phone, be sure to consider some of the things that aren't quite perfect about Apple's latest models. 1) No headphone jack. We knew this was coming, but it still comes as something of a shock. The venerable headphone jack is gone. Apple is including both a set of earbuds that work with the iPhone 7's Lightning port, as well as a dongle that will let you connect your existing headphones to the phone, but the company really wants you to switch to wireless headphones, something that was emphasized repeatedly in the iPhone 7 launch event (and if you want to charge your phone while also wearing headphones, that's your only option). Which leads us to... 2) AirPods aren't included. Apple's new wireless earbuds do look awesome. They'll work with Siri. And the Apple Watch. And automatically pair with all of your Apple devices over iCloud. But they're $159, and won't be available until late October. So, be sure not to lose that dongle before then. 3) Dual-lens camera is only available in 7+. Apple boasts that the new dual-lens camera is the best on the market, and with a real zoom lens and the ability to do all sorts of slick depth-of-field tricks, it may indeed smoke all other smartphone cameras. Too bad it's only available in the iPhone 7+. If you opt for the smaller, less expensive iPhone 7, you still get a camera that beats the one in the iPhone 6, thanks to a better lens and image stabilization, but it's not the best on the market, is it? 4) It's going to get all scratched up. Cult of Mac points out that Apple has warned that that new, cool jet black paint job is more susceptible to "fine micro-abrasions" than other colors. Not that it really matters, since... 5) You'll need to buy a new case. Sure, despite a new color, the iPhone 7 looks almost identical to the 6/6s models it replaces. But looks can be deceiving. While the dimensions of the iPhone 7 are indeed nearly identical to those of last year's models, its new cameras mean that the camera cutout on many older cases won't fit right. And instead of a headphone cutout at the bottom, you'll need a case with dual speaker cutouts for the iPhone 7's new stereo speakers. Bottom line: Be prepared to spluge on a new case to go with your new phone. 6) It's not waterproof. You may see references to the iPhone 7 being waterproof, but it's not. Apple refers to it as being "splash, water and dust resistant," and warns that its resistance level could "decrease as a result of normal wear." The company also warns that the phone's warranty doesn't cover liquid damage, so you may want to avoid any temptation to take your new iPhone into the shower with you. 7) It's an iPhone. If you're a fan, that's great. But if you're one of the millions of Android owners out there (and globally, Android's market share is much bigger than that of Apple's iOS), it was just another opportunity to point out how much better your favorite platform is (not that Android phones don't have their share of problems).

NOTE: This review is addressed to that class of people for whom Rs.60000-70000 smartphone is once in five years thing. Before you judge the rating which I have given and draw conclusions, I just want to let people who read this review realize that I am after technology with some innovation and out of the box concept as I never use a smartphone beyond 12 months. In this process, I literally used every high-end smartphone that was launched after iPhone 3G (my first hold of a smartphone), be it xperia, blackberry, samsung, nexus, HTC, what not! Now, coming to the point of fake ratings. I am a bit surprised to see so many negative reviews for an iPhone 7 on Amazon. KINDLY SEE FLIPKART, without the product even launched on their site, there are 864 ratings and as much as 4.9 stars out of 5 and not a single review (I am enclosing a pic for your reference). So, there is something which doesn't catch our eye. But these are the lame tricks that get played when you go neck to neck in competition, it applies to either side. ABOUT APPLE Undoubtedly, I give huge credit to Apple for introducing smartphone concept and in the process they slowly killed the once mighty Blackberry. Like Thomas Edison, credit goes to Apple for inventing such a masterpiece. But we are still not using the same bulb which Edison has invented. There are so many companies which are reinventing bulbs every year. Apple followed it up for few years with some changes in iPhone to keep the customer base solid. There is so much hype created over every Apple launch and in the process, the adversaries tried to copy the launch styles of Apple. So, they clearly have the margin. But, they are surely lagging behind in terms of innovation. This year iPhone 7 is one that's a perfect example. COMING TO THE PHONE Watched the launch event so closely, like I always do every year. I was using an iPhone 6 and was waiting for 7 (I have had an occasion to handle and experience both iPhone 7 and 7 plus even before they were launched in India). And finally ended up with Galaxy S7 Edge for a reason (BEFORE COMMENTING, RE-READ WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN IN THE FIRST TWO PARAGRAPHS OF MY REVIEW). I opted for S7 Edge for its curvy screen design with brilliant colours and the camera which beats the iPhone The dual camera on iPhone 7 plus is not new to the world before its launch. Secondly, they have their eyes set for the 10th Annniversary of iPhone in 2017 and are holding their cards till then. Both iOS and Android have their own pros and cons. This is the area which I am carefully and deliberately side lining and focusing on the phone. This year launch of iPhone 7 is only for those geeks, unlike me, who actually stick to iPhone for life and for whom the price tag is just a symbol to flaunt. Honestly, as most of the Apple users agree, what matters is the design of the phone. If i see a person standing about 5 feet away from me with an iPhone 7 (not plus) and me holding my iPhone 6, a third person will obviously think we are using the same phone (not talking about brand). So, if I were to shell Rs.60000 for a phone which retains the same design crafted with precision for three straight years, I better buy a device which satisfies me with its looks and performs as closely as an iPhone but loses the battle. And with Rs.20000 cheaper. I put my chips in there. Unless you have to run tasks which need some significant power like Games, it's not worth an upgrade or a first time buy.l I would request people to just think a bit before investing your hard earned money to go for iPhone 7. Join the line in which I am standing for the "revolutionary" design of an iPhone 8 in 2017. Because, that's when Apple is gonna show again to the world that they are masters of innovation. All the best!

Apple iPhone 7 (Black, 32GB) Review for Apple IPhone 7 - 32GB - Purchased during the last sale of Amazon at a cost of rs. 39,999 . The cost seemed to be on a higher side initially, however since I have been using Android for last 4-5 years, and already made my mind to move from Android , so I had no choice if I wanted to upgrade. There were two choices Apple 6s and Apple IPhone 7. I chose 7 since this was a higher version with improved processor as compared to 6s. Well, actually IPhone 7 does not need a review, however since I generally review every product I buy from Amazon, this is again the same. Not going much with the Specs, the first thing I noticed is that this phone never hangs as compared to the recent Android Nougat which stands no where in comparision to IOS 11. IOS 11 is much stable than Nougat. IOS used 2 GB ram very effectively which an Android phone with 4 GB Ram also could not use it very optimised. The IPhone can multitask easily, the applications can run in background without affecting the performance of the application which is in foreground. This does not impact the application you are using currently. Well, coming to the delivery, the Amazon Prime delivery was amazing , the phone was delivered within 48 hours of the order. This is so far the most stable phone I have used. 1. Not bulky. 2. The screen is 4.7 inches, fits easily in your pocket.
