Apple fans are simply at a loss what to do, because there are two quite current devices, the iPhone 6S and iPhone 7. A comparison of these two smartphones is right here and right now.

We will consider what is the difference between these phones, which one is better to take, what is more relevant and other questions. I won’t torture you for long, let’s get started.

As you understand, the generations of devices are completely different and therefore absolutely everything about them is different. There are slightly similar characteristics and elements, but more on that later.

So that you can clearly understand the difference, we will make a table in which you will see the difference more than clearly:

Judging by this table, not much has changed. But of course, I didn’t add all the differences, because there are quite a lot of them, and here I provided you only with the most basic characteristics that users pay attention to first of all.

Now we will talk about those characteristics for which people stood in queues, overpaid crazy amounts of money and did a lot of stupid things.


In fact, everything that I name next should have pleased us at least in 6S. But we know Apple too well, who likes to serve everything in small portions.

Here is a list of significant differences between the iPhone 6S and iPhone 7:

• Case color: Black and Jet Black colors appeared.
• Home button: Now it's sensory.
• Moisture protection: Now we are not afraid of rain.
• Stereo speakers: listening to surround sound.
• Optical stabilization: videos become better quality.
• Screen: more saturated colors and more brightness.
• Headphone Jack: We removed 3.5, we use the Lightning output.

Here is such a rather big list of little things. Of course, you are still not clear which smartphone to buy. Now I propose to analyze the comparisons of the two sections in more detail.

To avoid confusion, I think it would be logical to divide this comparison into subparagraphs and we will see what is better in the iPhone 6S and what is better in the iPhone 7.

It’s quite difficult to compare two flagships, but I think I can cope with this difficult task, so let’s get started.

External characteristics. As soon as you take the iPhone 7 in your hands, the very first difference, of course, can be called the strips of antennas that smoothly bend around the body of the phone and they look simply great.


The camera no longer sticks out so roughly that you would want to cut it off with something. Now it’s just a neat bulge, in the center of which you can see the camera.

If we combine all this with the new matte Black color or glossy Jet Black, then you begin to understand why this smartphone is worth buying.


As a result, the new flagship iPhone 7 looks neater and more modern compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 6S.

Internal characteristics. The very first thing to note is the new processor, which now has 4 cores, instead of the previous 2. The power doubles.

RAM has the same 2 GB, which is enough for both smartphones today. It will be more than enough for your multitasking.


In conclusion, we can say that the 7 has certainly become more powerful, but its power is more than necessary. It's still difficult to find an application that would use the resources to the fullest on the 6S.

Camera. I have already mentioned its appearance, but what about the quality of the image and other details. In iPhone 7, both the front and main cameras are better, I think everyone understands.

But you definitely won’t be able to feel a huge difference. Is it worth noting the video, because now there is a stabilizer, which was so missing in the 6S.


In conclusion, we can say that the camera is not the main advantage of the new flagship. Better, but an inexperienced user will not feel the difference.

Sound qualities. First of all, we forget about the 3.5 connector, because now it simply does not exist. Instead, we use the Lightning digital output or use an adapter.

This made it possible to increase the free space in the smartphone and improve the sound quality in headphones. Apple makes its own standards and there is nothing surprising here.


A second speaker appeared, which made it possible to create stereo sound. But due to moisture protection, they became quieter and not as accurate as the speaker in the iPhone 6S sounds.

Other chips. There is nothing special to say about the battery; it has become a little larger. Improved performance always requires more energy.

The advent of moisture protection will now allow users to avoid fatal consequences after swimming in the pool, rain and other contacts with water. But don't forget - it's waterproof, not waterproof.


Now your Home button will not break, which was an eternal problem when using Apple smartphones for quite a long time. It is now touch sensitive and responds due to the Taptic Engine.

Which iPhone should I buy, 6S or 7?

I understand that you are already tired of reading the comparison of these two wonderful smartphones and you want more specific answers to your question.


I’ll simplify your task and divide the answer into just two parts, each of which will suit a certain type of person. So we choose and draw conclusions:

• Have an iPhone 6 or lower, or any other device. Since you are reading a review of Apple's two latest flagships, it means you have enough money for each of them.

  We take an iPhone 7 and rejoice like children. For great impressions, take new colors, they will leave you with the most vivid memories.

• There is an iPhone 6S or a larger version. Don’t even think about buying a 7, because it’s not worth the money to switch from such a wonderful smartphone that can serve you for at least another 2-3 years.

  Of course, if you have money, then take it. But I advise you to wait for version 7S or whatever appears. With it you definitely won’t regret the money spent.

The price difference is quite serious, because Apple's flagships have never been low in price. To be honest, take a smartphone that simply has enough money for it or you can save up for it in a very short time.

I’ve never really liked to wait and I don’t advise you to; while you’re collecting, a new smartphone is already coming out and a new headache appears with the choice.

Results

I hope you enjoyed my comparison of the two. cool smartphones from Apple - iPhone 6S and of course iPhone 7. If you don’t agree with something, write your opinion in the comments.

Subscribe to me on VK or Facebook, there will be even more reviews and comparisons.

Traditionally, for 10 years, in September of each year, news feeds of news agencies begin to be full of entries about the birth of the next iPhone model. 2017 was no exception; this year was marked by the appearance of the 8th iPhone model. Today we’ll do a little comparison of iPhone 8 and iPhone 7, find out which of the flagships is better (although it’s clear), and compare the technical characteristics of smartphones.

First, let's find out whether it's worth buying an iPhone 7 or waiting for the revolutionary 8. It's definitely worth the wait, especially if you're on a budget. Although it’s not clear what is so revolutionary to expect, Samsung competitor The Galaxy S8 has been out for a long time, and has long shown the world its bezel-less display. The presence of a fingerprint sensor will surprise few people. The only thing that Apple can surprise is wireless charging, capable of operating at a distance of up to 4 meters.

Along with the eight, we can expect the release of 7s, similar to previous versions, this model will be better in all respects, stronger, more stable, faster. Let's remember the stories with 4s, 5s, 6s, each subsequent interpretation of the smartphone became many times better and more reliable. We are waiting for September and saving money for the new S, in any case it will surpass its predecessor in all respects.

Everyone is expecting the release of the iPhone 8 - IT experts, ordinary buyers and, not surprisingly, top executives from Samsung. Everyone wants to know what the company from Cupertino will present this time and what engineers should strive for when developing improved models of new smartphones.

Let's move on to the numbers. You can compare iPhone 7 vs innovative iPhone 8 based on several basic parameters

iPhone 7 Specifications:

• Screen: 4.7-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 750 x 1334 pixels. Contrast ratio 1400:1
• Processor and RAM: 64-bit Apple A10 Fusion with M10 coprocessor. 4 cores with a frequency of 2.23 GHz. New 6-core graphics chip
• Front camera: 7 megapixel with f/2.2 aperture
• Main camera: 12 megapixel with f/1.8 aperture and focal length 28 mm. Record video in 4K format at 60 frames per second. Optical stabilization.
• Other: Fingerprint sensor.

iPhone 8 Specifications:

• Screen: 4.7, 5.5 and 5.8 inches with a resolution of 1920×1310 pixels
• Memory: 32, 128 or 256 GB to choose from
• Processor and RAM: A11, 3-4 GB RAM
• Front camera: 8 MP
• Main camera: 12 MP, two lenses, optical stabilization, 4K, slow motion
• Other: Fingerprint sensor and iris scanner, wireless charging

This time there are really a lot of changes when compared, as was the case with the 6s and 7 plus. It got to the point that during the presentation in 2016, I had to change the body of the 7 to black, both smartphones were so similar in appearance.

For Apple phones the absence of a 3.5 mm jack is now considered the norm; AirPods are now included with the flagship. We must pay tribute to the Cupertino people; Samsung still includes wired headphones with its top-end phones. Therefore, we will assume the presence wireless headphones innovation.

Screen

The screen diagonal will almost certainly increase from 4.7 inches (for the iPhone 7) to 5.5 inches and to 5.8 for the 8 Plus model, the resolution will be FullHD and QHD, respectively. This is a significant improvement compared to its predecessor. The display will be protected by sixth-generation Corning Gorilla Glass, which is said to be the strongest civilian protection option for mobile devices.

The iPhone 8 is equipped with an ultra-clear OLED screen, while its predecessor is content with an LCD display, but we must pay tribute, the quality of the LCD screen is high, it was not without reason that it was recognized as the best of all that were available at the time of the release of the “seven”.

And yes, it has happened, the screen occupies the entire front part of the phone, the thickness of the plastic frames is negligible, they are practically invisible. The “Home” button is a thing of the past, giving way to a soft button, similar to that of expensive Android devices.

CPU

The Eight will compare favorably with the 7 with a new advanced processor manufactured using 10-nanometer technology. The processor will be codenamed Apple A11. Performance has increased significantly compared to the previous model, which will have a beneficial effect on the already fast interface.

An increased amount of RAM, up to 3 GB, will also significantly increase the speed of the device.

Battery

The G8 battery will once again increase the usable capacity to 2350 mAh, from 1960 mAh. The smartphone will be able to work autonomously for up to 2 days without requiring a connection charger. In fact, this is a record for Apple phones.

Frame

The body of the new iPhone, unlike the iPhone 7, is entirely made of glass. It is clear that the front panel is already solid glass, rear end also made of this material. How Cupertino will solve the issue of soiling and fragility remains to be asked to the engineers from this company. Time will tell how practical this solution is compared to conventional aluminum cases.

Peculiarities

The most anticipated innovation for all users is wireless charging with the ability to operate remotely from a charging station. The distance is really not great, only 3-4 meters, but in most cases this is quite enough for an office or home use. You can finally forget about the wires that haunt any Apple fan; you can’t leave the house without them, in case the battery runs out and you are left without communication.

Price

The issue of price, as always, will be acute; for some, the cost of 1000 US dollars for the minimum configuration of an iPhone 8 will seem overpriced, for others it will be ridiculous. In any case, the price tag for iPhone 7 will go down nicely and will be $800. Of course, all this does not apply to Russian realities; according to our tradition, prices will be inflated, including for outdated smartphone models.

Conclusion

Whether it is worth buying a somewhat outdated iPhone 7 or waiting for the 8 model is up to everyone to decide; we can definitely say that the new smartphone has a number of undeniable advantages. If you compare what to buy, iPhone 7s or iPhone 8, the choice is obvious. But there will be conservatives who will be satisfied with the usual aluminum and glass body, so the 7s will definitely not gather dust on store shelves.

For Russia, the output is more modern device, this is a reason to show those around you your position in society. And the only thing on the list is the importance of the ease of use of the phone and other interesting functions.

Video

Apple's new flagship iPhone X is certainly very good, but not everyone will need it. Considering the high cost, specific functions, new type of control and other factors, we can safely assume that a significant number of buyers will turn their attention to younger models, which are distinguished by their compact size and relatively modest price tags.

We are talking about smartphones with a 4.7-inch screen diagonal - iPhone 7 and iPhone 8. Due to the fact that all the main evolutionary steps of the last iPhone models concerned exclusively 5.5-inch phablets with the “Plus” prefix, it is quite difficult to find significant differences between the iPhone 7 and 8, but the difference in price is 13 thousand rubles (in the official Apple store) and it cannot be explained only by the serial number in the model name .

How is iPhone 7 different from iPhone 8?

Comparison of iPhone 7 design with iPhone 8

To visually identify the devices, they will have to be turned over, since it will not be possible to find any differences on the front panel - it is identical for all 4.7-inch Apple smartphones starting from 2014. These are iPhone 6 in detail, iPhone 6s, iPhone 7 and iPhone 8.

Difference in front panel design of 4.7-inch iPhones from 2014 to 2017

On the back we see the glass surface of the iPhone 8 and the aluminum body of the iPhone 7. On the one hand, the “glass sandwich” design has been loved by many users since the days of the iPhone 4/4S, on the other hand, the need for the use of protective accessories for owners of the “eight” automatically increases. .

Difference in rear panel design of 4.7-inch iPhones from 2014 to 2017

Interestingly, for the iPhone 8, Apple designers decided to significantly narrow the color palette - the device is available in silver, gold and “grey space”, while for the iPhone 7 the shades “Black Onyx” and “Rose Gold” are still relevant.

iPhone 7 colors:

iPhone 8 colors:

A careful study of the smartphone descriptions reveals a slight difference in size and weight - the iPhone 7 is 0.1 mm shorter, 0.2 mm narrower, 0.2 mm thinner and 10 grams lighter than the iPhone 8. In terms of operation, Such differences only play a role when choosing accessories.

How does the iPhone 7 screen differ from the iPhone 8?

The 4.7-inch IPS matrices with a resolution of 1334 × 750 pixels (326 ppi) in the iPhone 7 and 8 are almost identical, but the G8 display module is still slightly better, thanks to the True Tone function. Its essence lies in the fact that the system, using a special sensor, determines the intensity of ambient light and adjusts the white balance on the screen in accordance with the data received. As a result, the user receives better brightness and contrast in sunlight or more readable text in the twilight (not to be confused with banal auto-brightness).

Performance difference between iPhone 8 and iPhone 7

It is quite difficult to evaluate the performance of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 in practice, but Apple claims a huge superiority of the 6-core A11 Bionic chip over the A10 installed in the iPhone 7.

The description of the iPhone 8 claims that the A11 Bionic processor and GPU work faster than iPhone 7 by up to 25% and 30%, respectively.

Differences between iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 cameras

The FaceTime ƒ/2.2 selfie camera has not undergone evolution in these models - 7-megapixel matrix, ƒ/2.2 aperture, a white screen plays the role of flash, it is possible to record 1080p video and take Live Photos.

The main camera has undergone minimal changes. The 12 megapixel matrix was not updated, nor was the aperture ƒ/1.8, 5x digital zoom for photos and 3x for video, optical image stabilization. The differences lie in the options for recording video in 4K quality (iPhone 7 records exclusively 30 fps, while the iPhone 8 provides a choice of 24, 30 and 60 fps), as well as the presence of the Slow Sync function for adjusting the brightness of the flash.

Battery, storage, wireless and fast charging

The batteries of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 7 are slightly different in nominal capacity, but this difference can be neglected, since it is compensated by the better energy efficiency of the processor and graphics of the iPhone 8. As a result, we have identical battery life indicators.

However, the iPhone 8 supports wireless charging using the Qi standard, as well as fast charging, which restores 50% of the battery capacity in 30 minutes. Moreover, both processes are impossible without purchasing additional devices.

iPhone 8 has twice the amount of “native” memory - the model comes in 64 and 256 GB specifications, while iPhone 7 drives can only be 32 and 128 GB.

• Qi: how wireless charging works for iPhone 8 and iPhone X and how much it costs.
• For quick iPhone charging X and iPhone 8, you need to pay more than 8,000 rubles: the whole truth about the new function.

Comparison of technical characteristics of iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 (Table)

Which is better to buy an iPhone 7 versus an iPhone 8?

Is it worth paying 13 thousand rubles for twice the memory, Wireless and Qiuck Charge functions, a glass case and an advanced microprocessor? The answer is individual for each user, depending on his needs and financial capabilities. The goal of any company’s marketers is to offer the most complex “fork” possible to the average buyer in order to ensure sales of both products, and Apple knows how to do this perhaps better than anyone in the world.

Based on materials from yablyk

In this article you will find comparative characteristics of the most popular models of Apple devices - iPhone 8 and iPhone 7.

The design is not much different from the seventh model. The smartphones are almost identical to each other, with the exception of size.

Due to the introduction of wireless charging back panel made again from glass, but not from ordinary glass, but from heavy-duty glass with an olephobic coating, which does not allow dirt to “stick” to the surface of the case.

If, nevertheless, dirt appears on the body, the coating allows you to easily remove it.

On the front panel there will be, as usual, a central round Home button.

The end part of the smartphone case will remain metal in order to avoid significant damage if dropped.

There is also no 3.5 mm headphone jack, just like in the “seven”.

On the left side there are volume buttons and a silent mode switch, and on the right is the power button, which at the same time is a screen lock button.

Dimensions

The sizes of these models differ markedly from each other. The iPhone 8 plus is distinguished not only by its large size, but also by its weight.

The weight differs from the “eight” by 54 grams. On the one hand, it seems that this is not much. But when compared, this difference is felt.

The iPhone 8 measures 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3 mm and weighs only 148 grams, while the iPhone 8 Plus measures 158.4 x 78.1 x 7.5 mm and weighs 202 grams.

From the listed dimensions, it is obvious that the iPhone 8 Plus, indeed, larger sizes compared to the "eight", even though the thickness differs by only 0.2 mm.

In this case, the same situation exists as with “sevens”. The first one is much smaller in size than the second one.

The differences did not ignore the diagonal and characteristics of the screens of the presented models.

The iPhone 8 has a screen diagonal of 4.7 inches, while its “big brother” is 5.5 inches. Both models have liquid crystal displays with IPS matrices.

The screen resolution of the iPhone 8 is 1334x750 pixels and their density is 326 ppi, while the 8 Plus model has 1920x1080 pixels and their density is 401 ppi. The contrast of the displays is also different.

For the G8 it is 1400:1, and for the older model it is 1300:1. The displays do not differ in brightness; it is 625 cd/m2 for both models.

In other respects, the screens are identical for both smartphones. For example, both use True Tone color temperature adaptation technology.

It's also worth noting that there is 3D Touch and a P3 color gamut that is more enhanced.

The viewing angle is expanded thanks to dual-domain pixels. The display has a protective olephobic coating.

Cameras

The most important difference between smartphones is their cameras.. The iPhone 8 has a camera with one main lens with a resolution of 12 megapixels and an f/1.8 aperture.

Optical image stabilization is supported for photo and video shooting.

At the same time, the iPhone 8 Plus has two cameras – a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens. Each of them has a resolution of 12 megapixels. The wide-angle lens has an f/1.8 aperture, and the telephoto lens has an f/2.8 aperture.

Thanks to new technology Using two lenses in a smartphone camera supports many useful functions:

• 2x optical zoom;
• tenfold digital zoom;
• "portrait" mode;
• portrait lighting.

Portrait mode was first introduced in the iPhone 7 Plus. He allows you to create unique images with depth of field effect.

In still photographs, the subject remains sharp and the background is naturally blurred.

Before the advent of this mode in Apple smartphones, such pictures could only be created using professional SLR cameras.

Also The latest development is portrait lighting. For now, it will only be used in the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X.

This “trick” allows you to change the lighting with one touch in “portrait” mode. The G8 does not have this option, since it only has one lens.

When shooting video, the quality of smartphones is absolutely the same and has several resolutions:

• 4K at 24/30/60 fps;
• 1080p at 30/60 fps;
• 720p at 30 frames per second.

A significant difference in the video capabilities of the models is that the iPhone 8 Plus can use optical zoom and six times digital zoom.

In front cameras there are absolutely no differences. They are identical for both models.
