1. Background In the era of functional machines, LZ was a loyal user of Motorola; in the era of smart machines, LZ invested in the Android camp and gradually became less fanatic rice flour. Two successive tyrants, Nokia and Apple, were missed. LZ first millet phone is MI 2S, this product is the beginning of the maturity of Xiaomi mobile phone, and it is also one of the best cell phone works of Xiaomi. With one-hand fully controllable 4.3-inch screen, Xiaolong 600 + 2G + 32G configuration is not completely outdated today. If you do not support 4G network, it may take longer to serve. The second millet phone is MI 4c. When Xiaolong 810 failed, 820 disappeared. When the entire Android camp's flagship model was not connected, LZ purchased the Android prince. This is intended as a transitional model, but I did not expect to use it quite handily. Like my predecessor, the MI 2s, the performance was balanced and there were no obvious shortcomings and hard-to-use bugs. In all fairness, polycarbonate is a very good cell phone housing material: strong plasticity, toughness, strength enough, resistance to fall and scratch, comfortable touch, but the texture and bigger are not high for metal/glass/ceramics. The MI 4c in the hands gradually faded. Although the core experience is still smooth, mainstream features such as 4G+, curved surfaces, NFC, dual camera, and fingerprints are not available. Therefore, mobile phones are considered for replacement. Experienced at Xiaomi's home, MI mix real machine is also beautiful than the picture, the full screen is very powerful, the whole ceramic body feels great; MI note2 material and assembly process are superior, curved screen arc though no S7e exaggeration , but it is also very beautiful and delicate. Are good mobile phones, in addition to buy, no problems. From Xiaomi's home, I went out and went directly to the opposite Apple Store... Although I did not buy the iPhone before, I didn't touch it. I still remember the shock that the iPhone 4 brought me. After a tepid iPhone 5, Cook at the helm launched the iPhone 6, which compromised users from screen size to system features. But what I can't bear is the big ugly white belt behind the fuselage. Unexpectedly, Apple was quite satisfied with this design, and it has been used for 6 and 6s. However, the appearance is optimized, the antenna band is adjusted to the edge, and the black version is even more integrated. Play a lot in the Apple Store, feel pretty good. Just a few years ago there was a promotion. In Jingdong, a 600-yuan East ticket was issued and orders were placed. Apple iPhone 7 Plus (A1661) 32G Black Mobile Unicom Telecom 4G Phone 5799 yuan From the appearance, the most obvious change in the iPhone 7 Plus is the bright black join, cancel the antenna, the camera raised a certain transition, the fuselage The key slot is also omitted for each button, and the 3.5mm headphone jack is cancelled. Jingdong direct link to encyclopedia The main reason for choosing plus is that you have seen the iPhone 6 with a friend's battery, such as diabetes, plus a large battery capacity, and the battery life should be better. In addition plus more 1G memory, also has a dual camera, these characteristics I have more value. As for capacity, I am not using APP madness. Photographs and videos mainly use micro-singles. I rarely use mobile phones to listen to videos, so 32G is sufficient. Black is the first choice, bright black even if it is not used at all, of course, there is no black light 32G. 2. Unpacking The iPhone 7 plus box shows the back of the product, highlighting the dual cameras. ↑ Family portrait, body, lighting line, power adapter, headphones, lighting-3.5mm adapter. ↑ 3. Appearance Positive, black appearance, 2.5D glass panel. The top camera and the two sensors are very well concealed. ↑ On the back, the aluminum shell processed by sandblasting process is exquisite and delicate. ↑ The antenna strip is one less than 6/6s and is placed on the edge. The black model's antenna strip is black and more hidden. ↑ The most radical, the 3.5mm headphone jack was removed and the bottom opening was symmetrical. ↑ Right side of the shutdown / lock screen and SIM card slot. It's fine to change the position of these two parts, otherwise it is very difficult to hold the lock screen by one hand. ↑ Left volume and mute switch. ↑ This iconic dual camera, composed of 28mm f1.8 and 56mm f2.8 two lenses, with 2x optical zoom capabilities. ↑ The camera is more prominent... With the XPS 13. ↑ With iPad air 2. ↑ I always think that iPad is Apple's best product and it has been used for several generations. 4. Configuration and performance iPhone 7/7p hardware upgrade is larger, A10 Fusion processor with quad-core (2+2 structure), clocked at 2.3GHz, integrated M10 coprocessor, compared to A9 processing speed increased by about 40%, GPU than A9 is 50% faster. In addition iPhone 7 plus is the first to use 3GB memory iPhone, the configuration is very powerful. From the comparative evaluation of major technology websites, iPhone 7 plus is at the peak of the current smartphone performance. A10 Fusion is leading 620/821 Snapdragon. The performance test contrast model is Xiaomi 5s plus top match, Xiao Long 821 2.35GHz, 6GB+128GB, represents the top performance of the current Android camp. Millet 5s plus measurements are similar to the iPhone 7 plus, but provide a 5.7-inch screen. The iPhone's screen ratio is indeed too low. ↑ In the case of the two mobile phones equipped with all the commonly used APPs, the security Bunny 6.3 was used for comparison and running. ↓ Of course, the system is different. This kind of reference points is not of great value. It is purely entertainment, not serious. 5. Use experience Whatever points for running are clouds, the actual experience in everyday use is fundamental. 5.1 System Most of my experience in using IOS comes from the iPad, so I got the customary three fingers after the iPhone 7 plus to call out the task list, the three fingers swiping around to switch tasks, did not respond ... but to play for a while to completely get started . The advantages of IOS are many, I think mainly reflected in the following three aspects. Good management in the background. The back-end mechanism of IOS is very complicated and the modes are various. It is very strict for the application management of the resident background. Maximize the fluency and endurance of the front desk. There will also be no situation where the front desk opens one and the background wakes up a batch of “xx family bucketsâ€. Of course, how long an app can live in the background depends largely on memory pressure. The iPhone 7 plus with 3GB of memory performs better. Rights management is good. This is not to say that IOS's rights management is more powerful than Android, but its user experience is better, there is no very complicated permission description, and the setting interface is very clean. In addition, the IOS APP will not generally apply for a lot of permissions that are not related to itself. This involves a third advantage - The quality of APP is high. This is an inevitable positive result brought about by the relatively closed environment and unified ecology of IOS. IOS developers face very few types of hardware and screen resolution, high efficiency in developing languages, and clear and effective profit models, so they are more willing to have good works. Coupled with the app store's effective censorship, the overall quality of iOS apps is higher than that of Android. Of course, enterprise-level products that require platform layout, such as WeChat, Weibo, Alipay, etc., the quality of the two platforms is basically no difference. Today, IOS and Android learn from each other, the use of Android flagship models is no worse than the iPhone's poor, but the APP quality, ecological health, these differences do exist, google can not own. However, in terms of localization applications and system-level ease of use, there is a big gap between IOS and domestic Android-based systems. For example, I am familiar with MIUI, the best Android depth customization system. Compared with IOS 10, MIUI 8 has too many useful features - Mobile phone avatar Similar to WIN 10 multiple virtual desktops, you can switch directly to the lock screen page with a different gesture password. Apply double open Double WeChat, personal number one, job number one; double Jingdong, one small size trumpet, more convenient to receive coupons. Two stocks of software, their own speculation, but also help parents stare into the broader market. Notification SMS and harassment SMS automatic recognition unified classification Most of the text messages are now site verification codes, consumer notifications, commercial advertisements, etc. After being classified and classified by MIUI, the SMS interface is extremely refreshing. Strong communication function MIUI dialing keyboard supports T9, and is deeply integrated with yellow pages. It is very powerful for harassing calls and strange phone recognition. IOS 10 and Tencent Baidu and other cooperation to increase this feature, but the function is still very weak. Long screen shot Easy to operate, accurate screen shots. Notification bar switch can be customized Most functions can be turned on/off in the notification bar, and you can place your favorite switches in a convenient place. The IOS notification bar learns a lot from Android, but its functionality is not rich enough and there is no customization. The icon position can be placed arbitrarily, and the way of organizing the icons is very convenient This is the traditional advantage of Android. MIUI is flourishing. In the case of more APPs, the IOS row icon is simply vomiting blood. Theme mall is active, theme, wallpaper, ring tones, etc. can be downloaded and replaced Traffic monitoring, automatic correction of traffic MIUI can obtain package totals and real-time traffic information from operators. IOS should rely on local software to achieve this practical function. Of course there is the famous short board of the iPhone - dual card dual standby ... 5.2 screen Compared to 6sp, the iPhone 7 plus has no change in screen size (5.5 inches), no change in resolution (1080p), no change in material (LCD), and only adds one feature - the wide color gamut. In fact, the wide color gamut screen is very common in the propaganda of Android phones, but it is widely known as wide, but there is no strict specification. Due to historical or even political reasons, the standard color gamut is extremely complex and confusing. As a related practitioner, LZ can only say that it is a preliminary look. There are several important color gamut standards worth our attention: sRGB used for WEB pages and general displays/projectors/printers/scanners, etc.; Adobe RGB for professional image fields; DCI P3 for digital cinema; and Rec. 2020. But even the highest gamut standard, Rec.2020, still covers only a small part of the human eye's visible color range (CIE 1931). The iPhone 7 plus performs the DCI P3 color gamut standard. How is it actually displayed? LZ uses millet 5s plus for comparison. With regard to this set of screen display comparisons, I will first make a few explanations: First, Xiaomi did not publicize this 5s plus for the wide color gamut screen, but claimed to cover 94% NTSC color gamut, of course, this gamut area is relatively wide. Second, the screen shot effect is only affected by my camera and the display device on which you read this post. Third, both phones are set to their 50% brightness, and the rest of the display parameters remain in the default configuration. From the test results, the iPhone 7 plus has significantly better display results, higher color saturation, and a more natural transition. Here we must emphasize a concept. For a better display effect, the screen is only one aspect. What is more important is the quality of the signal source and the level of color management software. Apple in this regard is undoubtedly a profound accomplishment. Coupled with Apple's hardware and software, the ability to control the upper and lower reaches of the industry chain, third-party APP vendors can make Apple's color management standards in line with this product, iPhone's display effect is indeed a very good guarantee. The words of Yi Mei said a bunch of things, and the big warm screens couldn’t escape... 5.3 Home Key & Touch ID The biggest change on the iPhone 7/7p front side is undoubtedly the Home button becomes a touch type. Thanks to the cancellation of the 3.5mm headphone jack, the larger Taptic Engine module can be accommodated, making a very good vibration experience and feedback. Many old iPhone users are not used to this touch, but I really like this design: don't worry about the problem of physical key press; guarantee waterproof effect; multi-step feedback can meet personalized pressing needs; open touch home key API After that, third-party APP vendors can bring more and more interesting interactive experiences. The iPhone's fingerprint recognition speed and accuracy have been improved by 6s. Although the performance is not necessarily stronger than that of the Android camp, the application range can be much wider. The vast majority of mobile banking, payment, and financial management apps all support the use of Touch ID as a password, which is very convenient. 5.4 Photographing The iPhone has long been not the best smartphone for photo effects, but from the professional evaluation point of view, the iPhone 7/7p camera has significantly improved compared to 6s. The most eye-catching change in the iPhone 7 plus is dual camera design, the main camera focal length 28mm, f1.8 aperture, optical image stabilization; auxiliary camera focal length 56mm, f2.8 aperture, no optical image stabilization. Double optical zoom effect achieved. The effect of the two different focal lengths of the lens is very real, to avoid the smart phone zoom basically relying on the arms of the embarrassment. ↑ Another major contribution of the dual camera is to provide the iPhone 7 plus with an out-of-focus blur effect, the "Portrait" mode. The basic principle is that the main camera records main information, while the auxiliary camera records the background information. The software extracts the main image in real time and synthesizes it with the blurred background image to simulate the shallow depth of field effect of a large-aperture lens. I actually measured this function, the overall effect is OK, but if the main body edge and the background is not high enough, the software will appear flawed. For example, in the picture below, the hair of the monchhatch hat is worn away and the edges are blurred. 5.5 Life If I say that charging is the biggest slot for the iPhone, there should not be much opposition. In front of the Android camp fast-charging technology, Apple's slow 5V1A charging head is nothing but self-contained. Even with the iPad's 2A charging head, it takes more than two hours from 10% power to full. I'm too lazy to do a charge curve. However, endurance is still good, thanks to slightly increased battery capacity (2900mAh), more efficient and low-cost A10 Fusion processor, IOS 10 has always been excellent management scheduling capabilities, this iPhone 7 plus in the case of moderate use There is nothing wrong with a day and a half. 5.6 Dust and Waterproof Dust and waterproof properties finally landed on the iPhone. Although it is only IP67, it is inferior to Samsung's flagship IP68, but it is more than enough to cope with daily wet conditions such as the bathroom, the beach, and the rainy weather. It's no problem if the mobile phone is dropped into the toilet. Practicality is still very strong. Speaking of the three anti-mobile phones, I came up with MOTO Defy, which was also a popular model. Round-headed 3.7-inch screen, but also boot, but the system will always stop at Android 2.3. The precondition for waterproof and dustproof is the good airtightness of the body. But then I wondered: How does the height sensor work? Because the principle of the height sensor is to calculate the current altitude by sensing the pressure change. Through reading the data to understand, the original Apple added a barometric vent device in the original 3.5mm audio interface position, through the opening of the left side of the lighting interface ventilation. This is the subtlety of making products. The cancellation of the headphone hole, Taptic Engine vibration feedback module, waterproof and dustproof, and the barometric vent device are interrelated and restrict each other, making it very complicated in the small area of ​​the original 3.5mm interface. The article demonstrates superb logical coherence. 6. Summary Almost the same appearance as the previous generation, the same screen size. Two new colors were added, some scattered changes were made, and the processor was routinely upgraded. Almost the operating experience, no bright spot IOS 10, still egg charge. In accordance with the upgrade rhythm of the iPhone one year after another, the current "7" is actually difficult. If it weren't for note 7, this black swan disrupted Samsung's rhythm, and the 2016 Apple would be even worse. It is not that Cook's apple is incompetent. It may be the form of smart phones defined by Joe. The unknown elements that can be presented are not too many, and the offensive of the Android camp is getting fiercer. Although the aura is no longer there, the iPhone is still the best smartphone for this planet experience. I hope all of mediocrity of Apple will be a big move for the tenth anniversary of the iPhone in 2017. Thanks for watching!
