Apple's new iPhones are here. The all-new iPhone
7 and iPhone 7 Plus boasts of a faster processor,
better camera and bigger battery amongst
numerous other additions.

The smartphones have received mixed review
from analysts. While some view Apple’s new
iPhones merely as incremental upgrades, there
are others who feel that both the smartphones
actually pack in quite some new features.

Here we give six reasons for why you should buy
the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, and six
reasons why you shouldn't. So, read and decide
on whose side you are.

(1) No major difference in design.
Both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus sport the same
design as their predecessors -- iPhone 6s and
iPhone 6s Plus. In fact, it is also the same design
as that of the two-year old iPhone 6 and iPhone 6
Plus models.
There are some minor changes like the new
handset has stereo speakers at the bottom, dual-
rear cameras (applicable to iPhone 7 Plus), and
antenna lines placed at the sides for a cleaner
look -- but as we said really no change to the
look and feel.

(2) Almost same' display as iPhone 6S
iPhone 7 screen features same Retina HD display
as the one in Apple’s previous-generation
handsets (iPhone 6S and iPhone 6s Plus).
However, Apple claims that the display now offers
a wider colour gamut as compared to the duo's
standard RGBs display.

(3) No major improvements in battery.
Apple claims that both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7
Plus come with longest-ever battery. However, in
terms of hours it is two-three hours more for
iPhone 7 and one hour more for the iPhone 7 Plus
model as compared to their predecessors.

(4) No headphone jack.
As widely rumoured Apple has removed the
3.5mm headphone jack from its new iPhone 7
range.
This means users won’t be able to use their
existing 3.5mm headphones with the new
handsets till they use the Lightning to 3.5mm
adapter.
The smartphone, however, ships with earpods
with Lightning connectors and the adapter.

(5)RAM.
Although Apple never reveals the RAM capacity of
its devices, a report in Forbes suggests that
iPhone 7 features 2GB of RAM. If true, this means
that the handset has not received any bump in
RAM capacity.
For, iPhone 6s too sports 2GB RAM. Incidentally,
Apple on its part never reveals the RAM and
battery of its smartphones.

(6) Jet Black variant not available in
32GB.
The Jet Black colour variant of both iPhone 7 and
iPhone 7 Plus, with mirror-like finish, appears
really good to look at.
However, all those keen to buy the Jet Black
colour variant will have to shell out more money.
For, the variant is only available in 128GB and
256GB storage models, there's no 32GB model in
this colour.

(7) Better processor.
The new iPhones are powered by a brand new 64-
bit A10 Fusion chipset. Designed by Apple, it has
a quad-core CPU with two high-performance
cores and two energy-efficient cores for better
battery life.
The A10 also comes with a new hexa-core GPU
that’s 50% faster than the GPU on the A9 chipset
powering the previous-generation iPhone 6.

(8 ) More internal storage.
All variants of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
offer double the storage capacity – 32GB, 128GB
and 256GB, when compared to their
corresponding predecessors.

(9) Wireless AirPods.
Along with new innards, the fresh iPhone duo is
compatible with the newly-launched Apple
AirPods. Powered by an Apple-designed W1 chip,
the AirPods let users access Apple’s digital
assistant Siri by just tapping on them.
Not just that functions like changing tracks and
controlling volume can be executed by double tap
gestures as well. Apple AirPods offer 5 hours of
continuous playback on a single charge, and the
included charging-cum-carrying case.
