iPhone 7 plus riview

OUR VERDICT

It may not be the upgrade we were hoping for, but the iPhone 7 Plus is still an excellent phone with improved cameras, super slick performance and a handy waterproof, yet familiar design

All-new home button

Yeah it's a button, so what?" a friend said to us when we asked them to push our button. Then we turned the iPhone 7 Plus off, and asked them to push it again. Cue confusion, amazement and a slight jaw drop.

Sometimes it's the simple things that impress, and the new home button on the iPhone 7 Plus (and iPhone 7 plus) is somewhat of a hidden party piece

Battery live

Apple promises battery improvements in the iPhone 7 Plus, claiming it will give you an additional hour of life over the iPhone 7 plus

That's not as good as the extra two hours claimed for the 7 over the iPhone 6S, but the smaller handset wasn't as good with its battery as the Plus to start with, so we can forgive the more modest improvement here; hell, it's not always guaranteed that battery life will improve significantly from one generation to the next, so at least we're off to a positive start

Camera 

Take a look at the back of the 7 Plus and the large camera bulge is home to two 12MP  cameras .one of which is a wide-angle lens while the other is a telephoto lens. In short, switching from wide-angle to telephoto gives you a 2x optical zoom, which means you don't lose image quality while getting closer to your subject
