Apple released its next generation of iPhones on Sept. 7.

On Sept. 17 Apple released the new iPhone 7 to the market.

New features:

-Water resistant – it’s able to resist some water, but not entirely.
-Available in a 4.7’’ screen size for $649 and the Plus in a 5.5’’ screen size for $769.
-No audio jack, but there is an adapter to make it possible to continue using headphones until new Apple wireless headphones come out in late October.
-The new camera comes with:
A new camera stabilizer for when you take shaky photos
New six-element lens where the photo will be brighter and more detailed
New LED flash to go 50 percent further than past iPhone’s
Seven megapixel front camera for selfies
Specific to the iPhone 7 plus, there are two 12 megapixel cameras where they come together to give the same focus and zoom as a large Canon camera.
Also on the Plus there is a new mode for the camera called “Portrait” that gives detailed clear photos of your face while the background will have a small blur to bring depth to the picture.

With the new phone comes the new software update, iOS10, which was available five days prior to the release of the iPhone 7.
