New in Russia Apple smartphones will appear officially only on September 23 (unofficially, most likely, with the first flights on September 16 from Hong Kong or Tokyo), but all the details about the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus: characteristics, functions, prices were announced last Wednesday, when . Do you want the shortest one? iPhone review 7 and 7 Plus? Please:

The new items are almost indistinguishable from the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus released two years ago. Exceptions: two different black colors instead of one gray, there is no 3.5 mm audio jack (an adapter for it is included), the camera lens is designed differently, plastic antenna plugs remain only at the very ends of the case. The iPhone 7 Plus has two lenses, one of which allows you to zoom in twice as close without losing quality. Cameras have higher light sensitivity and a higher range of recorded colors (). Front cameras now 7 megapixel. The processor is slightly faster, but more economical, random access memory the older model has 3 GB instead of the previous 2, the built-in one has 32, 128 or 256 GB. iPhone 7 can officially be dropped into a bathtub or taken in the shower: smartphones are IP67 certified (but the warranty does not cover moisture damage). The mechanical Home button was replaced with a touch button that simulates tactile feedback being pressed by a motor. Improved screen: larger color gamut, especially in the warm part of the spectrum. They work for . US prices have not changed. All.
The paragraph above consists of exactly 150 words and fully describes the tenth generation iPhone. But with smartphones - the devices with which modern people have the closest, almost intimate connection - it is not so much dry facts that are important, but rather sensations. That’s why long author’s reviews are written, which is why Apple hands out samples of devices to journalists from leading American publications every year on the day of the presentation, so that a week later, as if on cue, detailed texts about new products appear online. Even if you speak English fluently, reading at least 5-7 of them is a task for the most hardcore fans. But we did it for you, collecting the most interesting impressions of leading independent journalists about the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. For those curious and comparing, . Now "review of reviews" about "iPhones", let's go!
"Black Onyx": slippery or not, does it get dirty and scratched a lot? Or just “black”?
Battery: does it last longer than the iPhone 6s?
Camera: How noticeable are the differences compared to the iPhone 6s?
Wireless AirPods: what about sound quality? How many pieces can you lose in a week?
Water protection: does it really work?
Touch button: terrible or not so good?
Well, and most importantly: is there life without an audio jack?
Here's what reviewers have to say:
1. Black and very black
“If you buy an iPhone in black onyx, you should immediately put it in a case—my test device in this color almost instantly became covered in scratches and chips. And it remained fingerprint-free only when we literally held it in gloves while taking photos and videos,” writes The Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel.

David Pearce, in his review for Wired, jokes that he would call the two new “masculine” iPhone colors “Glossy I Already Scratched It Black” and “Matte Awesome Secret Agent Black.” Mashable's Lance Ulanoff also notes that, if you look closely, there are dozens of small scratches visible on his onyx black test iPhone. And Matthew Panzarino from TechCrunch simply took a visual photo, explaining that he carried the smartphone without a case in his pocket for a week, including with foreign objects like an AirPods case and a wallet:
"The case is as durable as other anodized Apple products, but may develop minor scratches with use. If this is a concern, we recommend choosing a case to protect your iPhone," Apple says on its website.
But, many journalists note, accidentally dropping “black onyx” polished to a shine is much more difficult than matte models. In addition, they write that the new “smooth” bump around the camera lens looks more organic, and the plastic antenna covers have become less noticeable only on two black models. On the rest they are still boring grayish shades.
"Apple's competitors are doing better beautiful smartphones, and nothing about iPhone 7's design beats the rest of the industry," concludes Patel. "The magic is still there. It’s just that when it’s everywhere, it’s harder to notice,” Pearce disagrees.
2. If I increase the batteries
“If you don't really play games or watch high-definition videos, battery life will be extraordinary,” writes a Wired columnist about the effect of introducing a quad-core processor in new products with two high-performance and two energy-efficient cores. “When I used the iPhone 7 only for simple things, it lasted more than 24 hours, and the 7 Plus lasted almost 48. But as soon as I fired up Riptide GP: Renegade and streamed Halt and Catch Fire, the smartphone had to be recharged once during the day, or it would die by 9 p.m.
The Verge's editor-in-chief apparently uses his smartphone more actively - Patel writes about 10 hours battery life(namely work) for the iPhone 7 and about 12 for the iPhone 7 Plus and notes that Apple’s words about an increase of two and one hour of battery life, respectively, are generally confirmed. At the same time, he laments that the speed of the smartphone in applications like Twitter, Facebook, Gmail or Safari has remained virtually unchanged - apparently due to the fact that for undemanding tasks the device uses the energy-efficient cores of the A10 Fusion processor.

Comparative testing conducted by Ars Technica columnist Andrew Cunningham gives a clearer answer, and one that doesn't quite match Apple's promises: +47 minutes (total 12 hours 6 minutes) in Wi-Fi surfing mode on the iPhone 7 compared to the iPhone 6s. and +122 minutes (total 13 hours 23 minutes) for iPhone 7 Plus compared to iPhone 6s Plus.
Nicole Nguyen, who wrote a review of the new iPhones for Buzzfeed, drew attention to the phenomenal charging speed of the iPhone 7: from 9 to 96% in just over an hour. In its testing, after 15 hours of active use (several hours of music streaming, 1.5 hours of background GPS activity in the Strava fitness application, watching videos with sound through the new stereo speakers, regularly checking Facebook/Snapchat/Twitter) on the iPhone 7 there were 15 % of battery.
In general, it’s true that autonomy has become better, but each user will have different results.
3. Looks both ways
"When there is enough light in the frame, test shots the cameras of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus do not look noticeably better than the cameras of their predecessors,” states Cunningham. The detail of the images also did not change, and the Ars Technica author could not detect the declared expanded color gamut, since he uses relatively old ones for his work.” Macs" from 3-4 years ago with "lagging" displays. "However, the cameras of the new iPhones really shine in low light," he writes, they clearly capture more light and produce clearer images. This is facilitated by optical stabilization, which is now present not only in the Plus model, but also in the compact iPhone 7.

"When I compared the images from 6s and 7, it was Very"It's hard to tell the differences with the naked eye," Nguyen complains. However, when zooming in on the images, Buzzfeed was able to see more color variation, more texture detail, and a more natural skin tone in the iPhone 7 footage:

Veteran IT journalist Walt Mossberg, in a column on the website he heads, Recode, praises the interface for switching between a regular camera and a “telephoto lens” in the iPhone 7 Plus: just press the virtual button on the screen directly above the shooting button. "For me, and I suspect for many others ordinary people, real zoom is a very important thing. In fact, this is the first feature that can attract me to an iPhone with big screen"- admits Mossberg, traditionally committed to compact iPhone models.
Mashable's Lance Ulanoff also notes that the new six-element wide-angle lenses (up from 5 elements) with an f/1.8 aperture versus the f/2.2 of its predecessor models allow the camera to focus faster than before. The columnist emphasizes that, although made by flagship Samsung smartphones pictures may look more saturated, photos from the iPhone 7 are much more realistic. “Apple does just as much, if not more, calculations on each photo, but the results are closer to the truth,” Ulanoff writes. At the same time he admits that in the twilight Galaxy camera The S7 focuses and takes photos faster.
4. Plugs with and without wires
- a separate product with a price tag of 13,000 rubles; they are not sold together with the iPhone 7. However, most reviewers included in their texts about Apple's new products a story about new, completely wire-free "earbuds."
"Nothing goes better with the controversial decision to remove the audio jack from the most popular consumer product in history than the release of an equally controversial accessory to work with that product," Business Insider columnist Steve Kovacs opens his piece on AirPods with these words.

The special W1 chip in the headphones makes them more functional than conventional wireless Bluetooth stereo headsets: the pairing process occurs instantly and without user intervention, just open the charging case next to the turned on iPhone. But, Kovacs says, "there's a lot about AirPods that makes it obvious that this is the very first version of the product." Most of all, the reviewer is dissatisfied with the lack of physical playback controls: adjust the volume, switch tracks, etc. you will have to either from the iPhone or using Siri. "If you're listening to music and want to turn up the volume, you double-tap the earpiece to call Siri. Voice assistant activates (the music stops) and you can say, “Volume up.” Compare this to simply pressing the volume button on the EarPods remote,” the journalist writes.
The main conclusion of the reviewer regarding sound quality: Apple decided that, but the sound quality can be left at the level of regular “ears”. “AirPods sound exactly like EarPods,” says Nilay Patel, “so for $159 you get convenience and tech-savvy status.”
“From my point of view, they impose restrictions [on the user] that you don’t have with regular, wired headphones,” Mossberg criticizes the new product. “Plus, you have to regularly recharge their case with a built-in battery. And they also look like a pair of plastic earrings “When you buy, you need to be sure that it really suits your style.”

On the other hand, AirPods are very convenient to connect - just open the case next to the iPhone. Moreover, they will then connect automatically with your other i-devices. Journalists also note that with AirPods (or other wireless headphones), you won’t encounter a situation where you can’t charge your smartphone while listening to music or podcasts (and vice versa). This problem will be discussed below.
And the Buzzfeed reviewer also really liked that the EarPods do not fly out of the ears either during a dashing bike ride down a hill, or even if you just shake your head very hard. The journalist suspects that Apple did use some kind of magic.

5. Dry from the water
“The truth is that the very killer feature of the iPhone 7 - the ability to check email IN THE SOUL, God, IN THE SOUL - is hidden from the superficial observer,” Nguyen is perplexed. Indeed, a waterproof iPhone opens up many new use cases (or at least allows you to stick it in a container of water and take cool photos).

Walt Mossberg limited himself to a 20-minute water procedure in a large bowl and stated that nothing happened to the smartphone. Well, almost nothing - the speakers sounded muffled for about five minutes, and I had to refrain from charging the device for another five hours.

"Apple refused to tell us how the water resistance will survive opening the case for service - for example, if you change the screen or battery. Do you deprive the iPhone of resistance to moisture? It is worth waiting for reports on the opening of new products to know for sure," warns Cunningham.
6. The missing button
The advanced Taptic Engine vibration motor, which appeared in the iPhone 6s, in the “sevens” is also responsible for simulating pressing the home button, which is no longer mechanical, but sensory. "The vibration is clear and noticeable - a result of the Taptic Engine's design," notes TechCrunch's Matthew Panzarino. "This is the first time Apple has used it to replace a button, and the first time it's made available to developers... I think we have a ton of cool use cases for the Taptic Engine on the horizon." down to new, previously unseen models of interaction with iPhone."

At the same time, the implementation of tactile feedback, which replaces the click of a mechanical button, in the new iPhones was considered by some to be imperfect. “Those who have tried to use it say that it seems as if the entire bottom of the smartphone, and not just the button, clicks in response to pressing. But personally, this does not bother me - but it is one less mechanical (and therefore at risk of breaking) component,” notes editor-in-chief of Recode.net Mossberg.
Cunningham noted that the touch button becomes most similar to a mechanical button if you set the tactile feedback to the maximum of the three available vibration levels. Nilay Patel of The Verge also liked how the Taptic Engine works in conjunction with iOS 10: for example, the smartphone shudders slightly when you swipe down on the notification center. “It seems as if the programs on the screen have their own weight and inertia, and I loved it,” the journalist writes.
7. Hopelessness or hopelessness?
A significant portion of each review, unsurprisingly, is devoted to the disappearance of the 3.5mm audio jack. Patel recalls that Apple has more than one “murder” of this kind on its conscience: the company had a hand in sending floppy drives and CD-ROMs, its own 30-pin connector to the dustbin of history, and in recent years has been actively helping to bury Adobe Flash and a traditional USB connector.
"I am sure that the revolution is a demon wired headphones is inevitable, and that in the coming years their autonomy will double or triple. But for now, Apple's decision to ditch the standard component adds hassle to users, whether they're using wired or wireless headphones. It's annoying and a drawback,” Mossberg judges.
The main problem, in his opinion, is the inability to simultaneously charge a smartphone and listen to music on wired headphones without using a bulky docking station or ugly Lightning splitters. "If you're listening to music, white noise, AMSR videos, or anything else to help you fall asleep, and you want to charge your smartphone overnight, things get more complicated," agrees Ars Technica's Cunningham.
Nicole Nguyen is optimistic about one important advantage of the EarPods Lightning headphones that come with the new iPhone: if the smartphone slips out of your hands while the headphones are in your ears or in your hands, it remains hanging on the wire. The 3.5 mm jack cannot hold the device in such a situation: it falls to the ground.
At the same time, many other journalists agree with Apple: there is no problem in the absence of an audio jack, owners of wired headphones receive an adapter in the kit, and for wireless technologies in any case the future.
Here are Nilay Patel's conclusions from testing the iPhone 7:
iPhone 7 and 7 Plus rightfully take their place among the most interesting, authoritative, powerful phones, ever released by Apple, and among the most confident embodiments of the company's vision for for a long time. iOS 10 is excellent, the cameras are better, and the performance is phenomenal. And the batteries last longer. These are amazing phones.
But they remain unfinished. The most interesting feature double iPhone cameras 7, which allows you to emulate the background blur effect when shooting portraits, is not available at the time of release of the new products... Applications have not yet been updated so that they can use the Taptic Engine or the updated display with a wide color gamut. The entire ecosystem of new headphones and adapters needed to use Lightning and wireless audio is just beginning to take off. The best wireless audio experience is currently only offered by apple headphones or Beats, but you may not like the sound or the way they fit.
The entire time I used the iPhone 7, I felt like I had in my hands a prototype iPhone from the future (there are plenty of rumors about a major redesign) disguised as an iPhone 6. All these bold bets on the future sound exciting, but here in the present you have to use the iPhone 7 in a case - and it seems like it's just an iPhone 6s with a weird home button and extra adapters.
This iPhone will leave its mark on the history of technology, and will lead to many important changes in the way phones work and fit into our lives. We will remember the iPhone 7. But a truly useful future will be built on this foundation by the next iPhones.
What problem do you think iPhone owners most often turn to? service centers? That's right, a broken/cracked screen or chips on the case caused by the device falling in the bedroom, in the bathroom on the tiles, in the kitchen - anywhere. No, seriously, cases and protective glasses for smartphones were not invented by a stupid person, but, on the contrary, by someone who doesn’t want to spend several thousand rubles on the service every time. And in the case of new ones, the purchase of protective accessories has become even more relevant.
Why? When we reviewed the new iPhones, we handled them very carefully (we almost blew away specks of dust from them), but on both phones there were scratches on the screen. How this happened is unclear, because the smartphones did not even fall and were essentially used in “greenhouse” conditions. Therefore, buying accessories for your favorite gadget this time is really not a luxury, but a necessity.
Now, however, given the shortage of new iPhones, it is difficult to find accessories for them. Old cases do not fit: although the front panel does not look different from the iPhone 6s/iPhone 6s Plus, the camera connectors on the back of the new products are much larger. Therefore, stores bend prices as much as they can - in some places they sell an ordinary leatherette case for 7-8 thousand rubles. To say this is a robbery in broad daylight is an understatement.
One of the few stores that currently has accessories for the iPhone 7 in stock and (most importantly, at reasonable prices) is our partner i-Ray.ru, which in addition gives a 25% discount using a promotional code appleinsider for all . In general, glass will be enough to avoid scratches on the display, even from metal objects.
The film, of course, will not protect the back panel of the iPhone, so ideally add a case to the protective film. But not for 4-5 thousand rubles, but: it will help if you fall, and, and at the same time it is not bulky, like all these accessories made of wood or leather.
Of course, it’s better not to let the gadget end up on the floor; nevertheless, any fall is stressful not only for you, but also for the iPhone, which after such an incident may not work correctly. The most obvious solution is to install it, then you won’t get into a situation where you accidentally push your smartphone off the table with your hand.
However, it is important to choose one that will not be damaged if the iPhone falls while charging. Good charging cable will protect the smartphone, although it will do it in a unique way - it will fix the iPhone like a cable (similar to jumping with a rope from a bridge). Here, of course, you may or may not be lucky.
If you decide to purchase any accessory, our partner store i-Ray will give you a 10% discount on any product at promo code appleinsider(except for films and glasses, they contain 25%). In general, you should not neglect the ways iPhone protection, and if you have an iPhone 7 or in “black onyx” color, put on the case before you leave the store. The slightest external influence, and scratches will appear on the phone.
Protective film - good way prevent scratches on your smartphone for those who do not like to use cases. However, owners should use the film with caution, as the markings on back cover device may stick and remain on it.
According to some iPhone 7 owners, when trying to peel off the protective film, the Apple logo, the words “iPhone” and “Designed by Apple in California,” as well as the unique device identifier move away from the lid and remain on the adhesive surface.
As reported by a user of the MacRumors forum under the pseudonym ksyu, when he removed the protective film from his gadget, all the inscriptions from the smooth surface of the smartphone were transferred to the plastic. They can be clearly distinguished by holding the film up to a bright light. The user stuck the protection on for only one minute, and when he removed it, the Apple markings and logo remained on the film.
MacRumors reader Keith ran into a similar problem using Slickwraps.
“If you're one of those people who wants to keep their phone looking like it's fresh out of the box, you're out of luck. “I don’t know if the lettering is imprinted because the film is too sticky, or because if you wet the phone and then dry it, the letters will rub off,” Keith said.

iPhone 7 Plus “black onyx” after removing the film:
It must be said that the inscriptions are not completely erased from the back cover, but they brighten quite noticeably. The problem does not affect earlier iPhone models, “Apple” gadgets in black, gold and silver colors, as well as in “Rose Gold” shade.
According to Apple, the Onyx Black iPhone's perfectly glossy surface was achieved through a complex nine-step anodizing and polishing process. It is unclear why the markings are peeling off. Fortunately, the problem did not affect all users, but if you intend to use a screen protector, be careful.
In 2016, Apple pleased users with another color option for the glorious line of iPhones - lacquer " Jet black" Contrary to many skeptical experts, the model actually turned out to be very impressive. If we consider each “seven” separately, then they are all good. But as soon as you pick up the “onyx” you don’t want to take any other model – it looks so cool! However, as it turned out, the luxurious glossy surface very quickly gets dirty with greasy handprints, covered with a network of small scratches even from simple contact with hard surfaces. Therefore, you need to treat it with special care. 
The manufacturer assures that the surface of the varnish seven is no different from the coating of its brothers in the line. The same anodized aluminum is used, with the only difference being that in Jet black it was subjected to multi-stage grinding, which is what actually earned it its famous exterior. And in order to preserve this beauty for a long time, on the advice of Apple itself, it is better to use a case.
This is even indicated on the company’s website - right under the information about the new iPhone. What types of cases will be most appropriate for the iPhone 7. Perhaps inventive accessory suppliers have already managed to come up with something similar - just to match this luxurious electronic “stone”.
Cases for black onyx
It is logical that when choosing suitable cases, first of all, you should look at the offers from the smartphone manufacturer itself. Who, if not he, knows everything about the features of his product.
The most popular option is thin leather cases from Apple. They are precisely adjusted to the device - such a pad “sits” firmly on the body and does not wobble. Plus, the inner lining is made of soft microfiber, eliminating the appearance of any abrasions when worn.
Such leather cases minimally increase the size of the iPhone. A nice bonus is the perfectly fitted overhead volume and power buttons, made from the same material (aluminum) as the original ones. 
The back of the case is embossed with the company logo. Everything is simple, stylish and practical.
There are seven color options to choose from – everyone will find something they like. Price: 3,790 rubles for any modification and 4,090 rubles for the plus version.
But still, the main feature of the “onyx” is in the exterior. Therefore, no matter how trivial it may sound, they are ideal for the luxurious lacquered iPhone 7 simple cases made of transparent silicone.
Very decent option– “SlimJacket” from the manufacturer Rock. It is made of transparent thermoplastic polyurethane, resistant to any external damage. At the same time, the product itself is very thin, and increases the size of the device by only 0.6 mm. 
There is a thickening border around the camera window, which rises slightly above the surface of the case and creates an additional stiffening rib. This means that this area will be well protected in case of a fall. 
At the bottom there is a special plug that is inserted into the only remaining port of the iPhone - lightning. Considering the double load (since it is used both for charging and for headphones), it is clearly worth protecting this module from dust in order to extend its uninterrupted operation time.
The product is very flexible and elastic; it will not be difficult for you to remove it to wash. It is noteworthy that thanks to the special coating on the case, fingerprints and water stains are not visible. Thanks to this, your gadget will always look neat, maintaining its original appearance. 
In addition to all the undeniable advantages described above, the big advantage of the model is its low cost. Behind reliable protection, which does not hide the true beauty of “onyx”, 960 rubles is not a price.
The product is available in transparent, translucent black or gold.
Another wonderful case that doesn’t hide the gloss of the iPhone 7 – “SkyCase”, from Baseus. 
Made from transparent polycarbonate, it allows you to fully protect the body of the gadget from external damage. At the same time, the product does not distort the real appearance of the device at all. 
To protect against rapid wear, the side keys are covered with special pads that exactly follow the contours. Therefore, there will be no problems with the response. Also, thanks to the case, fingerprints will be much less visible on the surface of the iPhone.
There are special slots at the bottom of the case that greatly simplify the putting on and taking off procedure. And the manufacturer’s logos applied to the surface make the product even more stylish. 
There are versions available in three colors: transparent, transparent blue and transparent black. 
Such a case will cost $8.99, a very worthy solution for your money.
If you use your smartphone very actively during the day, and the battery charge is barely enough for such an intense rhythm, it makes sense to take a closer look at a case with a built-in battery.
One of the options recommended by the manufacturer is “SmartBatteryCase” for iPhone 7. 
The pleasant-to-touch silicone shell makes the “diagonal” smartphone more secure to hold in your hand. It is elastic and fits onto the body without any problems. So you can free your polished, handsome iPhone from its shackles at any time. And just as quickly, put it on when you need increased energy reserves.
An additional battery module is built into the back wall of the case. It is clear that because of this, the dimensions of the device increase somewhat, but its functionality also expands.
The product is available in white, red and black colors. Such a case, which extends the life of the battery for several hours, will cost 7,690 rubles.
If you lead an active lifestyle, and the risk of damage to your iPhone in such conditions is very high, we recommend taking a closer look at the ToughArmor case » , from the American company Spigen.
It will allow you to provide your gadget with full protection from external factors, and at the same time will not completely cover its body. Shining with its facets, “onyx” will not lose its signature luster. 
With him you are guaranteed highest level protection that meets the strict standards of the American military industry. The product is guaranteed to withstand up to 26 drops from a height of 48 inches (that's approximately 1.2 meters). 
It is curious that such a case consists of two parts. The main part of the case frame is made of flexible polyurethane - transparent (or matte). As an additional stiffener, it has special polycarbonate linings. They are offered in tone color scheme all new flagships, including “Jet black”. Whether to wear them or not is up to you. 
Traditionally, the side control keys and the camera window are equipped with additional protection tools - movable pads and a rim, respectively. 
The manufacturer offers six color variations (half of them with a transparent base, and the other with a matte base). The cost of such a case in any color is $34.99. 
For those who don't like cases
It is clear that none of the happy owners of “Jet black” are eager to hide their hard-won beauty with opaque “blank” covers. Since it was the glossy model, due to high demand, that was the most problematic to obtain.
From these considerations the best option for a spectacular “onyx” would bethe simplest Chinese cases made of transparent silicone. A hard case made of transparent plastic can be used with no less success.
If you don’t like any of the products listed in our post, you can find a compromise solution. Thin transparent reinforcing films will help to effectively protect against scratches and abrasions, without covering up all the beauty of this model. They can be applied not only to the screen, but also to the back of the case. 
It is best to choose models that extend to the ends - this way the protection will be more complete. They are practically invisible on the surface, and the gloss of “onyx” will remain in its original form for a long time. 
The same can be said about the bumpers that are attached to the ends of the gadget. Choose only models that protrude slightly above the planes of the smartphone. In this case, the protective sides will absorb the full force of the impact. It is recommended to use them together with films. 
It is our deep conviction that such decisions in this case will be the most appropriate. After all, no one will argue that the glossy seven is bought solely for the stunning exterior, and there is no need to cover all this gloss with covers.
There is very little time left, so it’s time to write this warning post so that you can refer to it later, if anything happens. So, having introduced the iPhone 7, Apple company decided to reinvent the wheel and introduced, in addition to the standard matte colors, a new color - “black onyx”. Naturally, it was he who attracted the attention of many, since in his promotional materials Apple shows this exact color.
However, the network was instantly filled with , each of which separately stated that the “black onyx” color scratches incredibly quickly.
All this cooled the ardor of users, which proves that “black onyx” was desired by only 23% of users. Despite this, it is “black onyx” that this moment, and for the next couple of months, will be the most scarce not only in Russia, but also in the world. It is the iPhone 7 of this color that shows that you have the newest iPhone. This is the iPhone color that everyone wants to touch and look at. We strongly do not recommend that you buy it!
As soon as you take the iPhone 7 in Onyx Black out of the box, you'll be delighted. Then you will remove the films from the device and turn it on, and you will be even more delighted. As it turns on, you turn it over in your hands and see your fingerprints incredibly clear on it. While you activate it, the Onyx Black iPhone will lose 50% of its attractiveness.
“Well, it doesn’t matter, you can wipe it off,” you say. Of course you can, only after that the first microscopic scratches will appear on it, which you will probably notice. Try to scrub them off too... and you'll get even more scratches.
“I don’t care about small scratches,” you say. Of course I don't care. Apple iPhone The 7 in Onyx Black is the first iPhone to be placed face down. If you run it a little over the slot on the back cover, scratches that are no longer microscopic will appear. If you put it in your pocket, then... oh, that's it.
Therefore, the buyer of an iPhone 7 in “black onyx” color has only three ways to solve the problem. First, get rid of it as quickly as possible. Secondly, don’t care about scratches, in three days of use you can make your smartphone look as if it’s 3 years old and move on. Well, the third way is to open the box with new iPhone wearing surgical gloves, take out the iPhone and immediately put it in the case and never take it out again.
Which path to choose, decide for yourself. We've warned you.
