Wednesday’s launch of the iPhone 7 was a key moment in Apple’s corporate history, but it was also a key moment for the rest of the world. As many believe it can, Apple changed the world on the 9th of September.
Take a moment to step back, take the time to let your inner child feel the magic, you stop and really think about the global power Tim Cook has to reach out and change people’s lives through a few sheets of glass and silicon… then you can see how Apple has made everything better.
And if you can’t see that, here are twenty-one ways to help you get started.

A League Of Their Own
There is not enough James Corden outside of the United State, so Tim Cook has decided to help continue his master plan to take over the entertainment world. First the UK sitcom scene, then the Tonys, now late-night talk shows. Next up for Corden? Finding something that Apple TV is good for.
Apple Is Bigger Than The Olympics
Akami declared the launch event was the largest peak video traffic event in its history. Given that Akami also handled the video streams for the Olympics, that makes Apple bigger than the biggest sporting event on the planet, right?
Teaching The Public About Politics
Forget buses with slogans, posters of refugees at a border crossing, if you want to show the financial impact of the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union and the resulting currency devaluation, show the UK’s geekerati the £100 price rise from the iPhone 6S Plus to the iPhone 7 Plus… while US prices remain constant
iPhone 7 vs. iPhone 7 Plus: Is the iPhone still best when you go big?
Another year, another iPhone. Seeing that Apple has moved its smartphone’s major upgrade life cycle to every three years, the new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus aren’t too different from last year’s iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. Still, there are impressive improvements, and while a major redesign may be coming in 2017, you may be in dire need of an upgrade — so which should you pick? The iPhone 7 or its bigger brother, the 7 Plus? We break the specs down.

Performance
When you pit the specs of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus against each other, there are hardly any differences. Of course, the most visible one is the size. The iPhone 7 is smaller with a 4.7-inch screen, while the iPhone 7 Plus has a 5.5-inch screen.
Both devices are powered by Apple’s A10 Fusion chip, a 64-bit architecture the company says is 40 percent faster than the A9 in the iPhone 6S and the 6S Plus. Apple says it’s 120 times faster than the original iPhone.
Both have a quad-core processor — a first for iPhone. Two cores are for high-performance actions, and the two are designed for tasks where efficiency is more important. An Apple-designed performance controller determines which actions make use of either set of cores. Checking your email, for example, will most likely be powered by the high-efficiency cores, which saves battery life.

Graphics performance is up to 50 percent faster than the A9, according to Apple. Performance is a tie between the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, and the same goes for internal storage options — both devices come with 32, 128, and 256GB options. The duo also have stereo speakers, making them equals in audio output as well.
It’s presumed the iPhone 7 has 2GB of RAM, and while rumors speculate the Plus model has 3GB, it’s unclear whether or not it’s true. We have reached out to Apple for confirmation.
Battery life is better on the iPhone 7 Plus because its larger size can accommodate a slightly larger battery. You get an additional hour of internet use on LTE on the Plus model.
Winner: iPhone 7 Plus
Display
The 4.7-inch iPhone 7 has a resolution of 1,334 x 750 pixels (326 ppi) — that’s the same as the iPhone 6S. The 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus gets a bump to Full HD with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (401 ppi), also the same on the 6S Plus.
But the Retina HD LED screens are better than ever before — Apple says the displays on both devices are 25 percent brighter and display a wider color gamut. So the comparison here really comes down to size. If you want a larger screen, go for the iPhone 7 Plus. If you want a smaller screen, the iPhone 7 is the smartphone for you.
Winner: iPhone 7 Plus
DESIGN AND DURABILITY
The overall design of both is similar to that introduced with the iPhone 6. Apple hit home the new “seamless” design that further blends the glass on the front and the rear case, and that’s partly due to a relocation of the antenna bands — they’re now on the top and bottom edges of the devices.

The buttons are in the same place, but the home button is no longer a button. The new Force Touch home button acts like the Force Touch track pad on the newer Macbook Pro — you’ll feel a Taptic vibration whenever you push down on it.
The camera, which still juts out a bit, is where you’ll find the main design difference between the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus (aside from size). The 7 Plus has a new dual-camera system, whereas the 7 only has a single rear camera. The iPhone 7 Plus’ rear-camera setup looks somewhat similar to the LG G5, which also uses a dual-camera setup.
Both models come in rose gold, gold, silver, black, and a high-gloss jet black variant.
The jet black model brings us to durability. Due to its high-gloss nature, it’s the only color option that Apple recommends you get a case for, because it’s prone to scratches. That’s right — the company showcased and praised the jet black finish, but now wants you to cover it up with a case. Go figure.
Still, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are IP67 rated, meaning they’re water- and dust-resistant. You can take them underwater up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, though the rating’s intent is to protect the device from accidental water damage.
Winner: Tie
