iPhone 7 Review: Beyond The Boring

- For another year running, the new iPhone is a lot like the old iPhone. In looks, in functionality, in its very essence, the iPhone 7 is a device of old ideas, repackaged: the water resistance, the little conveniences, even the assassination of the noble headphone jack ... none of it is truly new to the smartphone world. But Apple (as always) is less about novelty than about presenting existing technology in a new and interesting way. The iPhone 7 lives up to that legacy -- but you need to be able to see beyond the boring bits to realize it. Join Michael Fisher for MrMobile's iPhone 7 review, and stay tuned for the iPhone 7 Plus review coming soon!

MICHAEL FISHER YOU ARE THE BEST REVIEWER ON RUclips
Michael fisher >> mkbhd
Plus Michael doesn't only release videos when a new flagships newly released.
lol no. how? it's all superficial information and he doesn't got in depth at all. juan from pocketnow is BY FAR the best reviewer on youtube.
Fidel Guevara Juan has more information but it's the way Michael delivers his reviews... his wording and calmness AND realness is what I love man... truly the best!
Naw, I think Juan Carlos Bagnel from Pocketnow is the best reviewer on RUclips!
Only Michael knows how to review a device in such a way that fans on both sides don't start a world war 3 here. LOL. Good job Michael.
Well, that and obsessive comment moderation. :) Thanks!
Watching your videos are like watching a movie :)
I love that you still do this! your comment shut-downs were legendary. Great review as always sir.
Aff all the reviews I saw in RUclips, Your iPhone review is the coolest.
*Of
Of course it is. It's Mr Mobile ;)
I kind of wonder why they don't improve the resolution to at least 1080p. Maybe that's where their performance gains are coming from. They are running slightly higher than 720p
+SpacePak Yeah, I'm sure they're seeing some performance gains from not needing to address as many pixels.
there is a video comparison between iPhone 6s vs Note 7 720p mode. iphone still faster. so screen resolution is not the only thing that can make your device faster. optimization is.
It's cheaper. Apple is all about profit margins.
Kapil Gupta I think the Plus is yeah
akhmad fadli Yeah I'm on the Nexus 6P and RUclips at 1440p is noticeably nicer and looking at photos and videos taken on the phone look crisper, but I wonder if it even matters. At the same time, I wonder if the slight performance increase really matters.
after the useless removal of the headphone jack , watch them remove the home button too , saying that gestures are the future , 'buttons' are outdated...
Blackberry touchscreen are gesture based already Z30
Marcus Xe If you take a look Apple has already removed the homebutton and added a sort of "homepad" with a vibration motor.
Marcus Xe I mean, android has had on screen buttons for years.
But then again, Blackberry 10 was essentially gesture only, and that ended up in BlackBerry just using Android.
Holy shit...you got it right! iPhone X removed the home button -_-!!!!
Marcus Xe wtf u psychic?
It seems a very good phone but Apple still could not convince me to switch Android for iOS.
Next year's iPhone might with wireless charging and AMOLED screens, but the operating system still might be too restrictive for Android users
That's exactly what's kept me from buying an iPhone. The hardware is nothing special or expandable, the screen isn't really high res, and the software is too basic. Otherwise, the iPhone destroys every android in speed.
+Trexy Smexy u see... i prefer flexibility over speed :p
i can wait 1 sec more
Someone here is heavily implying a jailbroken Iphone has the same freedom as a rooted android phone. You are very misinformed.
I am an Android type of guy. But I was curious why do people buy iPhones in such high demand... So I bought the iPhone 7. The hardware is ok. Nothing impressive. But the software though, it's leaps and bounds BEHIND Android. What I do enjoy on the iPhone though, is it's perfectly smooth UI. And speed? maybe. I don't know about it, since I don't play games on my phone.
still waiting for the pixel to release
I have 3.6 million of them. Want one?
boooooo bad joke and you should feel bad haha jk
Peter Jensen No i seriously am waiting for the Pixel. I'm way too invested in the Google ecosystem to switch
Same. If it wasn't for samsung's dreadful software, I would have already bought the s7. But now that google is making a better statement in hardware, I have no doubts the next pixel will be right up with the high end competition when it's released.
Trexy Smexy To be completely honest, I'm not too confident in the Pixel right now with the leaks I've seen. I've been using a phone with front facing speakers for 2 years now and I don't think I can go back
Micheal Fisher is the best reviewer ever.
Tapping both the good and bad. And not exaggerating both.
Thank you sir for a good review.
If Apple is all about a wireless future then where is the wireless charging??
Because wireless charging isn't wireless. There's still a wire involved
went to LG apparently
cool story, man. And your headphones and the phone itself doesnt have any wires inside?
Its about the "communication" between two things and if it comes to wireless charging, there are no wires between the phone and the charger itself.
+Sander169 first learn to tag.
And second *facepalm. I'll pretend you actually didn't bring up the fact that there are wires inside the devices. Just FYI, no one deals with those wires hence no one cares.
Wireless charging is a misnomer. Its actually inductive charging which is exactly what Apple calls it in their Apple Watch. True wireless is truly wireless, where you can actually move around and about with the device while charging
It's just funny how Apple haters calls Apple device owners blind followers when Android fanboys actually think inductive charging is wireless charging. It's pretty clear you don't know what you're talking about
Thomas Alex
"It's pretty clear you don't know what you're talking about"
Fits perfectly to you, since i never said something about apple or apple-owners itself.
"Inductive charging" IS the same as "wireless charging".
Even if you could charge your phone in a 50cm distance to the charger, it would be still inductive. "Inductive" doesnt mean you actually have to put your phone down on a charger, it only describes the principle or method of charging.
www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2015-07/tkai-ofs070715.php
Fact is, wireless or inductive charging is easier and more comfortable. Thats why everyone should adapt it.
Record 4k and Watch In 720p 😂😂😂 #Apple'sLogic
I don't understand your logic either. Show me a phone that has a 4k screen.
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium.....and S6/S7/Note 5/Note 7 have above 2k resolution.
Sony Xperia z5 premium
LOL Xperia Z5 premium, ONE phone on the market with 4k display. So all other doesn't need 4K rec. because it's funny for dumb&dumber #fucklogic.
Leor Roynsky note 7
Why did Jill get amnesia after buying the iPhone 7? Because she didn't know Jack.
u tried
Ha ha..that was actually funny
Best iPhone 7 joke I've read so far.
I don't get it
the Headphone jack? hahahaha
Still the best phone reviewer hands down. People boast about mkbhd, but tech nerds love this guy since pocket now! Captain two phones to the rescue lol!
Derrick rose is tht you?
It's called opinion
AMG from what i've seen and same reason I like him is because he makes professional videos, obviously not for geek and nerd who already know more about the products sometimes even before the release but to other people who only use tech and just follow tech news, there are lot more youtubers who can give better opinions about the same products but we're all not geeks, plus his editing is pretty neat. so it's not luck, you can't get a lot of subscribers via luck, you must make great content or make stupid sensation like Marina Joyce
AMG Dave is getting notice now, good to hear that. but mkbhd been making video since long time ago, so he has those old loyal subscribers. But sometimes there are some "tech" channels that don't deserve their subscribers, or many of their subscriber aren't tech fans at all, like Unbox Therapy and *****. I mean why they put their video on tech category, they only review random stuff they get on ebay. put click bait on the title. plus they're apple fanboys
I just don't get it why is it necessary to compare reviewers.
Why every Android phone doesn't have a mute switch I'll never understand. It's such a convenience. There's just some things Apple has nailed from day one.
Very true, along with their software optimization. The fact that an iPhone with 1gb RAM can outdo an android with 3-4 gigs in multitasking and app opening just shows one thing that apple has done incredibly. Don't be mislead though, I'm still android all day everyday :)
Android isnt a phone, its software. Google cant really tell OEMs how to design their hardware. For example, companies like OnePlus have had a similar feature for the longest now, while most companies havent even tried. But even then, Google does the next best thing: Do Not Disturb Mode, which came in in version 6.0 I think
OnePlus has it
oneplus 3 has it
Why every Iphone doesn't have a Back & Options button I'll never understand, it's much more important than a mute button and should be a standard in every phone...
That scratch on Apple logo at start..
Fun fact: didn't know that was there until I got to the editing phase.
My OCD strikes...
My 7 also has the same scratch
Thank you for making probably the most balanced review of the iPhone 7 to date ^^
No overt praising like an Apple fanboy, yet no overt hating like any other fanboy. As someone who's used three Windows Phones since Window Mobile 6.1, to Android Marshmallow on an S6 Edge, and every iPhone since the 3GS, I can honestly say the blind hate between the three OSs is pointless. They all got their benefits and quirks, and if you don't like them, don't buy them, it's about as simple as it gets.
Honestly, I love tech Michael, that's why I watch your videos even though frankly, I won't be able to buy a new phone any time soon. But all these slurs and insults being thrown around in discussions and comment sections spoil the fun :-/
You and I are on exactly the same page. Thanks for the support and I hope you keep enjoying the videos!
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Oh I will, don't you worry about that ^^
MusicAndCars1 I totally agree, it's like the "pc master race" vs the "console peasants" where pc may be the better option but consoles just work. All be it iPhones are only a $100- $120 more for the base model compared to the galaxy s8 phones I saw online -there are even cheaper galaxies at Best Buy rn but I think they are on sell- but iPhone just work. All the complaints in the video are valid, but I feel like people get so mad because I go out and spend another hundred dollars for the phone i want with the money that I worked for. All this hate really isn't need, it's their money so let them buy what they want.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] man dude I live your reviews because it's a perfect balance between good and bad. Great job man!
Sure, it might be a good phone. But is it worth it for $649? In my honest opinion, no.
That's been my opinion for every iPhone.
Same. Yeah.
***** Why... It just kinda seems like (at least to me) a budget oriented android 'flagship killer' would be able to do anything plus more.
***** The screens on iPhones aren't exactly somthing to brag about... The audio drivers we have the ability to customize, and as far as I'm concerned Apple Music = Google Play music - Support for all platforms
But no one really cares
Better Mobile Phone = iPhone 7
Better Mobile Computer = Galaxy S7
All depends on what experience you are after...
Best impromptu grenade = Note 7
The Samsung Galaxy Nova 7
Thank you CDiP2277. As someone who sells phones for a living and (until trading it to upgrade to iPhone 7) owned both an Android flagship AND iPhone, this is what I tell people all the time. I have a super powerful computer that I'm on all the time, and even have access to THROUGH my phone on the go. As such, I don't NEED my phone to do 90% of the things that android fanboys criticize the iPhone for not featuring. This narrows daily driver decision down to "which is the best smartphone?". That's iPhone without a doubt. It's faster, smoother, has unrivaled texting, and I prefer the UI. Moreover, where some android devices may be great in one category but shitty in another, iPhones have remained either pretty good, great, or the best in every basic smartphone category (screen, camera, performance, etc.)
I don't think so. Iphones may smoother but they aren't very good at multitasking like other brands.
you know you're good if people are all ready commenting great review without even watching the entire video
The resolution hasn't changed since 2014 and the ppi is still the same as in 2010 lol
yep apple aint moving past 326 anytime soon haja
and it still competes with those crazy 2k/4k screens in other phones and it really doesnt look bad at all...
the screens on iphones have never really looked bad. Just not as good as say an S7
If you're blind it doesn't really matter
Plus models have 401ppi - introduced in 2014. Check sources before looking like an idiot.
Does the nerdy side of you want to talk about the iPhone 7+'s single core processor score being more than double that of it's competitors
Nah. Chip talk doesn't get my silicon vibrating.
i just hope u guys had girlfriends in high school !!
+adi ansari I'm a freshman
Who need that much power (2.4ghz)on a phone specially an IOS phone. In short the iphone is CRAZY powerful CPU and GPU wise, for no damn reason
what are you talking about? got any comparison? i remember the single core to be about 20% more powerfull... most 2016 phones got better scores that the 6s and the 7 is not that big of an improvement...
In 2019 it still works so fine and one of underrated devices today. With 3 years back launch still competes today's flagships and performs well than most
RickyRisha410 still using it to this day but I did replace the battery though
Where do I get that wallpaper at the beginning of the video?
There's an app called "Wallpapers" in the App Store. I got all of the art in this video from that app. (Please vote this comment up for visibility, all)
Why would a personality like Michael be fired? He did an excellent job at Pocket now, it was his own decision to leave it.
Iknow!!
I only remember Michael Fischer. He is that good. I don't even remember what PocketNow is, or who else does reviews for PocketNow. I guess for me, Fischer made PocketNow great. Now, I enjoy Fischer's reviews wherever he is.
Yea, Fischer's reviews are perfect in my opinion.
I always like your Reviews! Not Juvenile wanna be funny crap you see all over RUclips. Just excellent quality, to the point reviews.
Agreed. Too many edgy teenagers, following the trend "crispy".
IPhone, the phone that everyone likes to hate... why? Everyone's got their reasons but hey, people keep buying them every year at whatever price so they keep making them. But if Apple stopped making iphones and there were only android phones then these same people would complain about the lack of phones in the market and the lack of competition. These people are toxic.
I disagree. The Android market is very competitive.
bukhookee I looovvve the iPhone 7 i have one
there would still be competition, not all android phones are made by the same company
see you in 2017, Apple
Goodbye.
and after a year? what did you do?
Paul Cusentino and after 2 years?
2020
Damn! Michael You're better than MKBHD 👌👍 just love the way you represent stuffs for reviewing!
when you said "I'm Michael Fischer" I was expecting to hear a "with pocketnow"
My Friend, I'm not as smart as the other techno heroes below, but I was really impressed with how well you put your information and video together. it appears to me that you covered all bases and included many extra bits of information that should allow the dumbest rock like me a chance to make up my own mind or at least go in the direction that best suits my needs. Thank you for a very professional, Mature, and Informative presentation. You have a new subscriber - Cheers!
I always comment this "Michael Fisher is the best reviewer!"
Watching this in June 2019 on my old IPhone 7. But still the OS feels fresh and smooth ..
2020; bruh Michael predicted Lizzo being a star
michael an OG for that
Wow, predicted the future lmao
the camera is definitely better but yet to surpass f1.7 1.4um pixel s7 camera or f2.0 1.55um 6p camera. 56mm telephoto is useless at f2.8 aperture and no OIS. Lens with higher focal length is more prone to shake
I agree. I still did not find it better than S7 or even the last year's 6P which had a fabulous camera.
It's the same old iPhone camera, it just works, but the competition is way ahead right now.
I think color adjustment is adjective. What you like isn't what other people like. Anyway, s7 Camera or equivalent are the best FOR the hardware sensor. At least for me.
Why do you even care about the camera? When the only thing you do is to talk about camera-specs and why the S7's camera is better...
Sander Gjertsen Østvold Did you read what i said? I didnt bash at iphone7. I said that the iphone7 has amazing camera but it's not even close to s7's camera. Specially the low light photos are soft and blurry and it cannot take sharp long exposure shots like s7. Besides s7 is way cheaper now
Shubham Dhurve Im not hating on the iphone7. The camera has definitely got better but calling it the best will be a retarded move
i don't know what people say, but this guy is the best reviewer to me... absolutely reaches all the corners of a device without being biased.. good job..
Watched this again on my old iphone 7 in 2019! It was a good purchase for me and hope to keep this phone for another year or two.
Lizzo on your phone in 2016!! 😂😂 That's awesome man
The iPhone has a good screen. Samsung phones have AMAZING screens. THATS the main reason I still prefer galaxy phones
I agree, the super amoled screens are crazy good. when I compare my wife's iphone 6 to my note 5's screen, I just can't go back to an ips display
Pentile Amoled is disgusting, saturated unsharp and disgusting
+eneidvaddeu sorry but amoled screens are rated the best and that's a fact also there is a basic mode if you want natural colors
Display Mate says that the iPhone screen is as close to perfect and beats the s7. That's not saying the s7 screen is bad, it's just that amoled plus QHD does not mean a better phone, more is sometimes less, and optimisation will sometimes overtake pure specs. But the teen market has been marketed by Samsung to believe that pixels you cannot see make a better experience when all known science is to the contrary and well amoled is very subjective, I cannot stand it (sensitive eyes and use impinge for work so whites are much more important than blacks). Maybe if the Samsung fan club (mainly teens) reflected that there are other users out there that maybe don't buy their phone to watch videos, they will become more understanding and realise that the iPhone does everything a lot of the buyers want and those extra features (gimmicks to us) just don't mean nothing. So when I ask what is better I say what is important to you, and the iPhone does the stuff I need better and having used the screen it is so much better than the s7 I just hope that Apple never uses amoled ( their new LCD may not be ready for two years).
Andy, you might want to check all of your statements. iPhone is and always will be the most popular phone for the adolescent market. Studies year after year(2014 and 2015) have shown that the iPhone taps well into 60% of the teen market. Lastly, you misunderstood what Display Mate said, they said that the iPhone 7 screen is near perfect in color reproduction and thus images and video that can be reproduced natively(720p) will look almost naturally perfect...not that it was the perfect screen. In fact, they specifically mention that the screen is limited by the fact that it is an LCD display and will need to find new manufacturing process if it wishes to match some of the OLED color reproduction capabilities at higher resolutions, which it can't accurately do because data is naturally lost when downscalling higher resolution video. On a side by side comparison of Display Mate's iPhone 7 article and their Note 7 article, the Note 7 display beats the iPhone 7 display in almost every category except low light color reproduction(where they give it the "perfect" mark you are talking about). When Display Mate releases a detailed phone screen review, they brand it with various rankings within each category. If the display happens to be the best display they have ever tested at the end of their review, they mark it with that exact statement...stripping the previous holder of the title. Guess which phone currently has that title? The Note 7(earning very good to excellent in EVERY category). The near "perfect" color reproduction of native 720p in low light failed to dethrown it.
Please do a Best Smartphone of 2016 by the end of the year. I would love to see how the iPhone stacks up against S7/Edge/Note and of course the Pixel/XL. Thanks for the video ;)
I can't wait for the pixel!!!
you're a fruit of nature
David Singer you are a nature of fruit lol

"Very good but boring"
It seems to me like Apple is doing the same mistakes that Nokia did. You know, just spitting out the some old phone over and over again. Although Nokia did have some really crazy designs. Still, Nokia has a special place in my heart Apple does too. I hope the best for them both.
And now Nokia is starting to make the return! Whoop whoop
here is my problem with the iPhone 7. the design is nearly identical to the 6S. different camera hump and no headphone jack is all that's changed. Apple sells iPhones and a few computers. they could at least take the time to change it drastically EVERY year. Samsung does TVs, refrigerators, computers, media players. and they change their design every year.
Boring? Smartphones are becoming/have become consumer items. You don't expect cars to change design every year - maybe only every 3 to 5 years. There are decades ahead for the smartphone market. I doubt there's an infinite quantity of designs possible. Keeping the design for 2 or 3 years is only accepting the inevitable. Basically ALL smartphones are a slab of chocolate with a tweek here or there. There's only so much you can do with a bar of chocolate other than change the wrapper (colour/texture for the smartphone).
True
Zero innovation from Apple.
michael fisher best smartphone reviewer on youtube!
how's the iPhone 7's home button different than the OnePlus 3 home button... they both are haptic...
IPhones 'haptic engine' mimics the press of a button, while op3 is just the vibration motor vibrating.
"It's same, but different." -Apple
It's not even similar
if you've used it, it's wildly different.
Everyone I've seen that's used it seems to say it definitely doesn't feel like a button, but doesn't feel bad... kinda polarizing
Only Apple can axe an important feature like a headphone jack and call it a feature.
The audio through the given adapter absolutely sucks.
It sounds the same through my Bose QC25s.
It sounds absolutely identical, on all my headphones.
that's what you call placebo
DrewG75 that's because you have a good headphone. I compared both 6s and 7 and I immediately noticed that 6s had clearer and a bit higher volume and it was a bit punchier.
Try charging your phone and listening over headphone.
I bought the Iphone 7, it's my second Iphone that I purchased (original 6 plus was my first) and as much as I love Android I have grown tired of gimmicks that supposedly are "revolutionary". Gear VR, Iris scanner, wireless charging, and modular designs just to name a few. I bought an S7 Edge on launch day....had it 4 days before I returned it for "overheating"....2 weeks later same deal, exchanged again and until the day I got rid of that phone I had cases of extreme heating with the phone....The Snapdragon 820 while powerful just gets way too hot....I tried an HTC 10 for a week and had the same issues. I don't want a phone that's a Lava brick.....My fav Android device was the Note 5 with the Exynos processor in it....never got too hot and did not lag like all the other NEW devices with the Snapdragons....I like both Android and IOS....and for now I will use IOS until Android fixes the Hot Brick syndrome and the random lose 25% of my battery while my phone was in my pocket running some random rogue app syndrome as well.
It's not just the display being the same res that is annoying it's everything. Sure the display is controversial for me I can tell the difference between QHD and FHD and now VR is coming along phones should start going into 4K so they're VR ready with google cardboard and gear vr. Also 1080p screens are found on low to mid range android phones so for the price of the iphone it would be nice to have a higher res screen especially on the 7 plus.
But it's not just that it's the lack of expandable storage, wireless charging, fast charging and of course the head phone jack. Of course you can use bluetooth headphones but it would be nice to have the option for it and I don't buy into the reason that apple removed the headphone jack for the taptic engine, they managed to cram the same thing into the apple watch surely they could have used the same sized taptic engine inside the iphone still having space for a headphone jack?
People who buy iphones either have more money than sense or aren't really into tech and don't really care what phone they have as long as it's a smart phone but at the same time reckon apple is a big brand name and as celebs manly use iphones everyone else does. There's literally no reason to buy iphone over any android phone except being slightly faster but that's it and even that isn't worth it imo considering the limitations of IOS. Sure it's a good phone I won't deny it no phone is crap, but it's just not worth the money when you can pay for a high end android phone for slightly less money and get much more bang for your buck (literally with the note 7) thought I'd get that joke in there before anyone else can't wait to get the new note 7's. But even with low end androids now you get 1080p screen, mirco SD card support, some kind of gesture controls, NFC, bluetooth that allows file sharing and much more and that's just a low end one let alone the flagships.
And then we have you that has low self esteem and has to reassure himself through his phone👌😂😂😂
FuturaGeneración7 what are you on about?
I'm a fanboy for good reason lol I've been an Isheep used my fair share of iphones know whats good about em and whats not, hated android until I switched and I know whats good and bad about androids. Obviously iphones are faster than androids because of the hardware and software is made by apple where as android there's many different specs for different phones it's harder to optimise the OS for the hardware though android's aren't massively far behind and the better speed isn't enough of a good thing to make me want an iphone again.
But otherwise there's nothing great about iphones and if you find using an android phone complicated then you must be dumb or something. For example try sending a file via bluetooth to say a windows laptop with bluetooth or to a android or windows phone. You can't unless you mess around installing a 3rd party app on both devices on android you just open the share menu so how is that more complicated than iphone? Then try getting a song on your iphone. You gotta go through itunes either buy it on your phone or sync your phone with a computer and even then you can only sync to one pc. But let's say you're out and you suddenly think of a song you want on your phone you have no way to do it because you can't simply go to safari and download an mp3 again unless you download a 3rd party app and even then you can't listen to it in the default music app. So again how is android more complicated than iphone exactly?
And every phone has the important features but it lacks convenient features that some may seem as a necessity like a micro SD card slot and you iphone users will say now "we don't need micro sd cards" or "we don't need QHD screens" but when iphone finally gets those features you'll all be creaming your pants over it. One of the arguments for iphone being better than android was that you could reach all four corners of the display with your thumb whilst holding the phone in one hand but now that's not the case and in fact many android phones while having bigger screens have managed to make the phone physically smaller and therefore easier to hold and use one handed again showing that iphones are more "complex" than androids.
Was it too much work for your brain to read all that? You had a moto G -.- It's a budget phone fgs of course apps are going crash on that phone especially if you're talking about first gen model. Nexus 6 should have been fine for the most part and what did you find so frustrating about iphone other than the fact it was probably too difficult to figure out how to use 3 different buttons on the bottom of the screen other than one home button -.-
***** I've had very little issues with any phone I've owned be it iphone or android though not owned any android phone other than Samsung. Went from S4 to note 4 and now note 7 works fine and the latest versions of android have been the best by far android did use to be stupidly laggy even when scrolling which was one of the reasons i used to hate android until I gave it a go thinking that If I didn't like it i'll just switch back to iphone but loved it only thing I wish androids have was a physical silent switch like on iphones.
There was one MAJOR item that sold me on the iPhone 7: 128GB internal storage (at least on my phone). I understand that I am in the minority here, but I wanted a phone with a ton of internal storage (MUCH faster than an SD card), and came to find out very quickly that there is no premium android phone offered with that much storage.
So after 5 years of using Android and swearing up and down that I would NEVER buy an Apple product, I bought a matte black 128GB iPhone 7... and so far, it's the best phone I have ever owned.
+Mad Pistol Congrats. I ended up with the 256GB iPhone 7 Plus for my second review device and it's surreal to be carrying around this much empty space.
Also, phase pistols 4evs
Trekkies unite my friend! Have a good one :)
My phone has 320 gb of storage. Not apple.
Jared Jade which phone?
Mad Pistol i have a 64 GB Huawei P9 with a 256GB micro sd card on it.
What Android users often miss when judging the iPhone's premium price, is that you're not just paying for the hardware (which has the top specs anyway), but also the other intangible parts of the Apple experience as well.
You get guaranteed 4 years of software support, potentially more. No other company does this, Google stops halfway at this point (2 years) on their Nexus devices, and other Android OEMs, if you're lucky, support you for 18 months. You also get, the best, customer service of any other smartphone manufacturer. You also get iOS, which for some, is a deal-breaker, but with it, comes the best apps on any smartphone, Android apps tend to be iOS ports for a reason (better developer support, more revenue, less piracy, better incentive to develop). Also, Apple branding also helps, which keeps the phone value relatively high compared to competing Android flagships, while also having a higher demand, allowing the user to sell their device for a higher price, and make back most of their money, so they can then put that money into their next phone. So if you bought your iPhone for $900, but sold it for $700, you've only lost 200. Conversely, if you buy a cheaper Android phone, say OnePlus 3 for $400, the value it would have after 2 years would be very low ($100-150 on Amazon and Swappa, looking at the OnePlus One).
All of this is so true, and almost always overlooked.
who the hell sells iPhone for $700 after 2 years? look it up on ebay the price of used iPhone 6 now..
heyy michael nice review...love ur voice✌✌
Hi I’m from the future
Now this is a good example of an iPhone 7 review...complains are there but delivered softly and still has appreciations on the product. We all already got tired of iPhone 7 leaks before the official release and now getting tired of the bashing, mocking, hating, and harsh complaining of the product just days after released (so clearly with no user experience involved). This preview is great! Bold and balance delivered maturely with positive attitude. I hope there are more reviewer like you Michael. Good day and stay mobile everyone.
Been a tech fan more than 6 years, besides the verge and linus, this is probably one of my favorite tech review channel, keep up the good work!
why does the iphone still have the huge ugly bezels
Good question.
I actually like the bezels oddly. I switch back and fourth from both OS's from time to time which is easy using googles services and I love having small bezels on my android devices I like having them from time to time
Great Review!
I'm loving my iPhone 7 plus.
I agree with everything except one gripe, the gripe about the back button being at the top left corner that's not very accessible. Don't forgot there an OS wide and almost all 3rd party wide "swipe to back" sliding your thumb or finger anywhere on the left side of the screen towards the middle.
Hey Michael, saw a glimpse of the Axon 7 in this review.
Axon 7 review coming up soon? would love to see your take on it.
Cheers!
Damn real talk right here 😤 Not enough big youtubers are giving an in depht review of the axon 7, fuck it might as well do it myself lol
This guy should really have 10 million subscribers. Seriously his reviews are great. I’m watching an iPhone 7 review in 2020. Probably because I’m home bored, but still...
You are simply one of the best reviewer on RUclips.. The graphics and voice over of your video, are the cherries on top of the cake.!
I simply love your content man! Your videos have caught my attention, everything, from your voice, to the great phrases you do to resume the idea, are just stunningly good. Since pocketnow i'm a fan of your work! Hope you just bigger and better from now on! Cheers by all you have accomplished!
Thanks very much!
Who else came here after iphone xs to not feel obsolete :’)
Definitely obsolete
i have a phone 3 years older than the iPhone 7
I don't exactly agree with your point towards the end. You say that they don't deserve to be beaten down for making a product slightly better than last year, and this is true, but I believe that if you don't have anything new or interesting to share with the world, then what's the point in sharing? I personally am not an Apple user, although I used to be, I think it doesn't make sense to release little things every year that don't contain real progress. Let's say I made a really nice piece of software, and everyone loved it. People in forums have discussions about it, and it's very well received. A few weeks later, I add some small stuff that is minor to it and everyone, once again thinks it's pretty cool. A few weeks later, and I release another update that adds more small changes that are still nice, but not super important. This goes on for a while, and eventually, small updates and changes don't seem to matter to the forum people. A few months in, I've finally released enough stuff with these small updates to warrant a nice, big, juicy update or second version of the software, but it's too late. All of my small ideas have been just little increments that are nice, but not worth giving a whole lot of attention to. What I'm attempting to get at here, is consumers don't need all these little new things. If I wanted to get an iPhone, I think it would make the most sense to get a 6 Plus because there have been so minor changes to the phones, but nothing actually worth paying for. They honestly could've waited until next year to release a new iPhone that had all of the changes from the 6S, 7, and whatever they're packing in the "7S". I also find it sad that consumers are willing to clammer for days just to get the same device with minor improvements. I guess that's just humans being stupid, as we are, though. This is why I love unique and new phones like the Priv and the Moto Z. They were unique and awesome and really warranted an update. They had new technology that was ready to share with the world, and that's what real innovations it. Another thing is price. Don't tell me I'm some jealous prick that can't afford these devices. Even though I'm only fifteen, if I wanted them, I could compromise and save to get them. Some phones are worth a premium price because they do something new and different, or you're Samsung, where you believe, as long as you pack as much shit into the phone as possible, it's got some kewl new stuff, and it's beautiful enough(or something like that), you can sell it. Other companies like Moto, OnePlus, and ZTE are probably the definitive choice for people who really don't care about what phone they have, or do but don't want want to worry about spending money on something like a phone are perfect. I think that that strategy is wonderful because it promotes selling consumers wonderful phones without charging them a shit-ton of money, allowing the phones to be available to many more people. Also, if they don't really care what phone they have, then it shouldn't matter as long as it's not terrible. Hell, windows phone was also probably a great choice when that was still relevant for these kinds of people.
In conclusion, I think that the iPhone 7 and 6S don't need to exist, as they do nothing to truly advance the world of mobile technology, and just make more money. Companies that go into the tech industry with the only main goal is making money. These companies will never truly advance technology. The old(and I mean, really old) Apple was a great lively company. They proved that technology could not only be a tool, but a beautiful part of the human experience. It's like they've de-matured, sure they've made enough money to buy, pretty much whatever they want, but what they've done with this huge sum of money is sad. They either need to evolve like the rest of the world or just rot, like the sad fruit they are.
Nice points, but...paragraphs...use them
Tl;dr
Daniel Luzzi True :(... Just kind threw that together.
because why fix what isn't broken? also you have to keep in mind that next year is the 10 year anniversary and they moved to a 3 year cycle. The big "innovation" this year was the dual camera but at the same time this is the first iPhone with water and dust resistance. the little things add up, especially to apple users such as myself. Already i can actually tell there is a big speed difference and camera upgrade, from a 6s plus to a 7 plus.
Apparently, there'll be a big refresh next year.
Waiting for iPhone 7 plus review from the Master Michael Fisher.
A swipe back is so much easier than pressing the back button 😛
I was just about to say this
what if I tell you pushing a button is easier.
Keith, not when you're using a 7+, with the button is in the top left and you've got small hands 😝
does it work with all apps?
John, it works with basically all apps made or updated in the past three years or so 😛
HTC U Ultra: "Omg, how can a phone have a camera bump? That's terrible, it's not 2015!"
iPhone 7: "Oh, what a nice camera bump. Very impressive."
I don't think I've ever seen anyone complain about the HTC U Ultra's camera hump, that's probably the least offensive thing on that phone...
Wow. Your reviews are so damn good. #yournewfan
almost 6am by now.
good morning!
and stay mobile my friends! :)
#SMMF
***** More Vaseliiiiiiiiineeeeeeeeeeeeee xD
***** I do not really believe you tbh. I see the previous post was edited too. The post that is missing was about "winning a device" under a link which asked you to give out your google passwords, which is pretty funny. Looked very google-alike.
You got a thumbs up from me just for showing my favorite captain. :)
and Wesley :)
6:10 thank you Michael for that comment! Finally someone NOT assuming that iphones are bug and stutter free!
😭 *tears of joy*
Terrific Review. Subbed. A reviewer that's logical and steady in his thoughts.
Does anyone know where I can get the wallpapers that can be seen on his iPhone during the video?
I disagree with your headphone jack argument. I feel like "if its a problem, than this phone isnt for you" doesnt work for one single big fat reason; Its their only new flagship. So basically, if you want wired audio convenience, you cant get the latest specs and the latest features either, because Apple cant be bothered with making an option for everybody.
Even the Moto Z, which only has a no-jack version (for a much more legitimate reason might I add!) released the Moto Z Play, which doesnt fix it, but is 100000x better then asking us to buy last-gen hardware
I feel like I just got a giant "we dont care about you" straight from Apple themselves. Great video as always though
What's the more legitimate reason with Motorola?
Dimitri Ramos because in order for the Moto Mods to work, a ton of stuff in the phone had to be reorganized and rewired. It took some serious engineering to get Mods to function the way they do, and the had to fit the phone's components together like a Tetris puzzle essentially. There was absolutely no room.
Then the Z Play came out, and they were more experienced with this new technology, and they had more room since the Z Play is thicker, so they brought it back
jnjjules I get you. I think the Z force was thick enough for a headphone jack though
Dimitri Ramos yeah, the Z Force was a bit thicker as well, so I don't blame you. I think it was the experience thing that finally pushed them back into the jack. It's not like they had examples to follow. Even so, even no jack on the Moto Z bugged me tbh
jnjjules Makes sense
I love how honest this guy is.
i love how Micheal fisher gives unconventional views and opinions not a another gimmick tech guy.kudos for that
I used iPhone 6, before switching to Samsung Galaxy Note 5. After a year, don't like Android, I move back to iPhone 6. Aside from iOS's simplicity and easier on the eyes user interface, I can honestly say you won't appreciate the clean design of the iPhone 6, 6s or 7, until you have used a Samsung Galaxy for a year.
Agreed, been to the same, first iPhone 4S, then to S3 and S4. After that iPhone 6 and now I've got iPhone 7 Plus on order. I was thinking about Note 7 but it's laggy and slow as f*ck.
It's a shame Samsung ruined Android for you. Their "version" of android is pretty shitty. You should use a Nexus, or a modern htc for a while if you appreciate clean design.
Michael Fisher? aren't you on pocketnow channel with Jaime Rivera and those people?
+TheDrownduck Not since March 2016. Welcome to MrMobile!
ahh I see. I have already subscribed.
love your reviews man and good luck to you, mate
ɷɷɷɷ Heeey Friends I Haveeeee Justtt Wonnn Brandd New iPad From visitttt : - t.co/YMtSp94Kfd
wow best phone you can buy so far this year that's a stretch
Oh gosh, I just keep replaying this, because your voice is so pleasant to listen to
So I don't know about anyone else. But I got a huge throwback to that show "Code Lyoko" whenever he did the bit about the camera. That music sounded so much like the intro to that show. Ah, memories.
One of the best reviewers! Keep up with the good work!!!
🙌 🙏 *BASED FISCHER* DELIVERS! BEST *MOBILE TECH YTER!* 🙏 🙌
iPhones are beautiful looking phones but I'll stick with my Galaxy Note 7
Majin God Goku here comes the Boom!!!
Majin God Goku yew
I can foresee the phrase "Bro, pass me the dongle!" becoming popular XD
No
Another fantastic video, Mr. Fisher. I'm not personally interested in buying the iPhone 7 but I always love to see a different perspective to what the mainstream media overhypes.
Was that the Axon 7? Are planning on a review on that device?
As an android user i quite like 7 plus, only thing that is stupid is the same resolution. But the biggest problem is no amoled.
How about annoying inability to customize home screen on iphone? Or no dedicated back button? Those two are obvious deal breakers for me! (not to mention whole bunch of other things that an iphone is missing)
springer those are issues that can be fixed with software, probably won't happen because this is apple we are speaking about.
you could add the fact that you can't just reject a call on an iPhone...
The 1080p resolution on iPhone 7 Plus is pretty good actually. It only looks bad if you compare it for example to Note 7 side by side but other than that it looks good.
+springer then dont buy it.
Michael!
Amazing review. As usual 😁❤
And what would you say about no Sapphire Glass for the home button and the camera lens?
And believe me, I have had commented on so many tech review videos, no one has had so much interaction with their audience.
Thank you Michael.
+Mohammed Yasin Actually the camera cover is indeed sapphire, as per Apple's tech specs page. And thanks!
Jerry rig everything did a scratch test and came to the conclusion that the home button and camera lense weren't sapphire.
So glad I found you here. Was wondering where you went after PocketNow.
Best combination of words and voice = One of the best reviews. Keep it up Michael.
The iPhone 7 is alright. But it just doesn't have that same *FLARE* as the Note 7.
Ba dum tssss
I ditched my iPhone 6 as I became fed up with trying to find a case/screen protector combo I liked and with having to baby it, lest it bent/warped..and I moved back to a budget Android phone which I can use without a case and with a brilliant screen protector and have never looked back.
*But* I held an iPhone 7 in store yesterday and had to admit to a "pang," of desire :O)
I couldn't be doing with a Jet Black fingerprint/scratch model and even the Matte Black looks totally covered in fingerprints..so, I'm sure it'd be back to trying to find cases etc. etc..so, no, the pang wouldn't be enough to tempt me back.
But, there's something about holding one in your hand :O)
I really want to go back to apple but Samsung and android just get me lol they know what I want. I'm huge into heavy customization on my phone. apple just doesn't have that. and no you don't need a 2k screen but damn it does look good and I watch a lot of video on my phone.
Good points all. Plus, as I said, the homescreen in iOS is just too confining if you've grown used to Android or Windows.
I thought Michael Fisher quit the phone reviewing game but I'm surprised to see that he opened his own channel and now that I found Michael Fisher I don't need pocket now he's the only one I liked to watch
so many iPhone reviews but yours is by far the best thank you. I am looking forward to your review of a plus in battery life and camera system.
What abt the a little buzz sound at back, Mr . Mobile?
+Sanjay Shrestha No buzz on my device. Will keep on listening as I review the Plus.
Thanks for the reply Michael, I have been watching your review video since Pocketnow.. now there is some weird pronounce name guy reviewing smart phones there.. Anyways thanks again great video ..
lol a button isn't always the simplest way to silence a phone
What's simpler?
Throw it out the window! Surely you wont hear it anymore! XD
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] what is simpler? well maybe placing ur hand on top of the phone.... or lets say your holding your phone... placing your phone on the table face down.....
But what if you don't want to silence your phone when placing it down.
Cosmic Paudel lol this feature is actually a little different from directly silencing your phone....
when the phone rings, you can flip it over to silence the current call..... but it doesn't silence the phone over all though....
i have noticed people having to use the silence button on their iphones when they get calls..... depending on the situation it may not be the simplest
i like Michael Fisher's videos before watching.
#noregrets
AS ALWAYS GREAT REVIEW. HE LEANS TO A TRUE REVIEW, WITHOUT GOING TO THE SIDE OF APPLE OR ANDROID.
Great work as always! Would you please revisit the iPhone 7+ to see how fast or more efficient it’s gotten with the iOS 12.1 update? Thank You!
I used to be only android type of a person because the iPhone is expensive, but after 5 years of android high end phones , I got board and sick of how the phone slows down about just 6 months of use (nexus) , so when I got an iPhone I loved the build quality it's just the best I've ever used it reminds me of Samsung but so far the phone is still fast and the apps are so amazing better than android
I think "it's still an Iphone" would've sufficed......
Does someone have the link for the purple Wallpaper?
@VCVTY heris the link for that wallpaper encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQVvZcxKvEegXnz1BCXlTj17V1yrfyzflcB2yqUiXf6NEV5AAyk
"doesn't deserve to be beaten down by making an excellent product only marginally more excellent than last year's"
Wrong. This is a perfectly valid reason for criticism. We compare every product in the world to the products that preceded them and how they've improved - especially considering the price.
i watch ur videos even if the product is of no concern to me.
just like the way u describe things is great.
the humor is also very good.
