The Home button has been redesigned, has haptic feedback making it more responsive, and is customizable. It’s water and dust-resistant. There is a new chip inside called A10 Fusion 64-bit with four cores and an improved GPU. The company claims it is 240x faster than the original iPhone.
The rear camera includes optical stabilization, a wider lens, and a 12-megapixel sensor for much better photos. The front camera is 7-megapixels. The iPhone 7 Plus has two rear cameras for easy zooming ability.
The Retina HD display is 25% brighter than the iPhone 6, with richer color and 3D touch. It now has stereo speakers for better sound. New EarPods connect via the lightning connector (no more headphone jack but an analog jack to the lightning adapter is included in the box).
Another new product is called AirPods, which are wireless EarPods that can connect to your phone or watch.
