Apple has finally unveiled the highly anticipated next-generation iPhone smartphone. The iPhone 7 has been a hot topic for quite a long time before Apple decided to launch the device on Sept. 7. According to the latest reports, the all new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have certainly lived up to the expectation. However, there are fans who are not happy with some of the features including the new wireless headset.

The device is expected to hit the shelves on Sept. 16 and fans should not be worried about its performance at all. The new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are equipped with Apple's latest A10 Fusion operating system to ensure smooth handset operation. According to IBT, the new chipset is 120 times faster than the first processor used in the first ever iPhone. The publication also said that because of its advanced processor, the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are 40 percent more efficient than the previous iteration, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.

According to a report by PC Advisor, there is really not much different between the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Both device carries new features such as its advanced waterproofing technology, New touch-sensitive home button, Improved, brighter screen with wide color gamut, Longer battery life, 4G LTE up to 450Mb/s and many more. The two iPhones no longer have the traditional 3.5 mm headphone jack; however, a lightning to 3.5mm adaptor is included in the package.

Meanwhile, according to USA Today, Apple will certainly gain little advantage from its competitors. The publication said that the new iPhone 7 will have an edge when it comes to hardware to software integration since the new Apple smartphone will run on the new iOS 10. The Galaxy Note 7 and Galaxy S7 for example are currently running on the existing Android Marshmallow OS. However, the two Samsung powerhouse are expected to get the Android 7.0 Nougat anytime soon.
