Apple iPhone 7: This is the best one yet!
The new Apple iPhone 7 that came out in September 2016 has a lot of interesting features. It uses wireless earphones known as AirPods to listen to music. AirPods know when we start listening and when we take them out. It is also very battery-saving, in one charge, you can listen to 5 hours of battery. Not only is it battery-saving, its own case can charge these AirPods, just 15 minutes in the case would provide you with 3 hours of battery. Due to its small size, Apple has also released the ‘Find My AirPods’. It will help you find misplaced AirPods within the Bluetooth range of any IOS devices signed in with iCloud. Another interesting feature is that it’s water-resistant or waterproof. The phone can be submerged in up to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. Although it is risky, tests of their waterproof ability showed that their camera worked underwater however afterwards, the speakers sounded a little muffled but overall the iPhone 7 is great.
