iPhone 7: new details on colors, waterproofness and technical characteristics

While we are only a few
days of the
iPhone 7 launch conference
, the KGI analysis has just given
last minute information on technical aspects of the iPhone 7,
some new.

Processor, colors and new photos, here's what we can expect from
the 2016 vintage for li’Phone:

What colors for the iPhone 7?

The analyst indicates that two colors would be launched with this iPhone:
one called "Dark Black" and the other "Piano Black". The latter evokes an aspect
shiny and confirms the colors of the SIM drawers seen here
recently. At the same time, the current “Space Gray” color will no longer be
available. Combined with pinks and gold, as well as white, this will give 5 colors
This year.

Processor

The iPhone 7 will include an A10 processorclocked at 2.4
Ghz
. A significant leap compared to the already very powerful A9 which beats it
“only” 1.85 Ghz. For the record we were at 1.4 GHz with the A8 on the iPhone
6.

Screen improvement

In terms of screen, no change in resolution or size but this
year should see the arrivaldisplay already available on the iPad
Pro
, namely a screen capable ofshow more colors
real in full brightness
. An improvement justified by las focus
made on the photo aspect of the new smartphones.

Focus on the photo

In terms of photos, the analyst confirms improvements on both
models but focuses his note on the double objective present only on the
“Plus” model of the range. This would include wide-angle optics and a
"telephoto lens" (I quote) associated with a 12 megapixel sensor, 6 lenses and
optical stabilization (like iPhone 6s). This dual sensor system
will allow you to benefit from aoptical zoomand effects of
depth of fieldpopular with photographers.

But that's not all since Apple would have chosen to modify the flash "True
Tone" of the iPhone 6s to go from 2 LEDs to 4: two for the colors
warm, two for cool colors.

Confirmation for memory

In terms of memory capacity, the report confirms the abandonment of 16 GB and 64
GB to upgrade to a range offering 32, 128 and 256 GB of storage.

The working memory (RAM) will be increased from 2 to 3 GB on the Plus model,
probably to manage the more complex photo linked to the dual lens.

No more headphone jack, how and why?

With the headphone jack gone, Apple should offer, according to the same source, a
lightning headphones (EarPods) and an adapter allowing you to use any
which headset by plugging it into the charging socket.

Other information, the space saved on the headphone jack would not be
used for an additional speaker although the exterior design may
make him believe. It's actuallyto improve the Force Touch that a
additional component
would take place next to the Home button.

Waterproofing and laser sensor

The new smartphones would have awaterproofing to standard
IPX7
, like the Apple Watch. This corresponds to resistance to
splashes and water but immersion is not recommended (1 m depth
max pendant 30 minutes).

Finally, the robot portrait of this iPhone 2016 would not be complete without a
new detail regarding theproximity sensor(located in
front panel) which would be modified togo laserin order to
to offerfaster response times and better recognition
distant
. Gesture recognition could be enabled via this
sensor, without this possibility being confirmed.
