Coming on to the specifications of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, we do not see any significant design change from the iPhone 6s, except for the change in position of antenna lines. Apple has introduced to new colors for the iPhone 7 – Matte Black (matte finish) and Jet Black (gloss finish). There are other colors too – Gold, Silver, and Rose Gold. This time around, Apple has given an overhaul to its Home button, which is now integrated with a force-sensitive touch that works on Apple’s Taptic engine. It is a similar technology as we had seen on the latest MacBooks. And yes, both the devices have IP67 certification, which makes them water and dust resistant.
