You’ve read the press release (which confirmed most of the rumors) so what else might you want to know when you pick up iPhone 7 and it wakes up? What follows are a few details some of which you may not have come across.

Get to the Camera

Apple made a successful explanation of the advanced new camera technologies you’ll find in iPhone 7 and the 7 Plus. The standard iPhone 7 comes with a 12MP camera, while the iPhone 7 Plus boasts a dual-camera system, with a wide-angle and telephoto lens that provides 2x optical zoom, and 10x digital zoom for photos. Both get optical image stabilization and an ƒ/1.8 aperture that allows up to 50 percent more light than the 6s. The lens has been improved and will capture better photos in low light, while the flash is 50% brighter than before with an intelligent sensor designed to compensate for flicker. You can learn more about the camera here. These improvements are big enough to have helped many consumers get past the loss of the headphone jack. You can unlock the camera by swiping your finger right on the lockscreen when your iPhone is locked. Doing so brings up the camera app so you can grab a snap fast. I still don’t know if you can use Siri to take a picture.
