Apple's A10 Fusion features 4-core architecture, providing speeds 2x faster than the iPhone 6.
Two cores are high-performance cores. The other two are low-power cores, which sip just 20% of the power consumed by the high-performance cores. An intelligent controller can save significant battery life by directing simple tasks to the low-power cores.
The iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus feature two (2) speakers for full stereo audio playback.
To achieve stereo sound, Apple amplifies the earpiece speaker at the top of the iPhone. The stereo speaker system built into the iPhone 7 is twice as loud as the iPhone 6s, and provides an increased dynamic range for better sound quality.
The iPhone 7 does not feature a telephoto lens. This means the iOS Camera app only uses a digital zoom.
On the other hand, the iPhone 7 Plus does have a telephoto lens. Apple's dual-lens configuration provides a standard lens alongside a second, 2x zoom lens. Photos taken at 2x use this optical zoom for maximum clarity and resolution.
After your initial concern, you probably got smart and figured that Apple would make a 3.5mm headphone jack to lightning converter.
You were right.
And not only is Apple making this adapter, they're including it free of charge with the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
The iPhone 7 is available for pre-order on Friday, September 9, 2016 at 12:01 AM Pacific time (3:01 AM Eastern time).
Shipping begins on Friday, September 16, 2016. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are also available in stores and for purchase online starting on September 16.
