Apple iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus Offer Beefed-up Specs
Apple has just unleashed the long awaited iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus at its launch event in San Francisco. As expected, Apple has always got something to cheer up its fans. So, without further ado, meet the whole new lineup with beefed up specs and long list of features.

Display and Feel:
The iPhone 7 look pretty much like iPhone 6S, with same 4.7-inch display. What makes it different is its 25% brighter Retina HD display. As, they say, “it’s the best display ever in an iPhone”. Apart from the other vibrant colors, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus both now come in all-new ‘Jet Black’ glossy finish with Matte Black counterpart (only available for 128 and 256 gigabyte versions though). A deep and deceptively awesome glossy black is now black to its core.

Water-Resistant:
An entirely re-engineered enclosure makes your iPhone water-resistant thus protecting your phone against unwanted spills and heart pounding splashes. ‘Ingress Protection’ design totally protects your phone from dust and against the effect of immersion between 15cm and 1m under water.

Static Home Button & Stereo Speakers:
The all-new and advanced and solid home button gives additional dexterity to the hands of devs. Now, you have the solid piece of ring that’s force sensitive and devs will be able to use functionalities like touchID, access to Apple Pay, Siri etc. It’d feel like you’re pressing against the surface instead of a button.
You also get two speakers, one at the bottom and one at the top for immersive and twice the loud audio experience.

AirPods
Apple, being a lumbering giant of smartphones, is known introduce innovative and new ideas Ever Since the Start of Its Journey. Let’s welcome the new era of Smartphones without headphone jacks. Even if you could choose Lightning Headphones for Wireless Audio Experience before, now you’re now forced to choose this wireless audio option. AirPods will come in late October.

Camera:
Apple has again scored big time with their best smartphone camera and ensured the protection of ‘Future of Smartphone Photography’. By giving it a 12-megapixel rear camera and adding a ƒ/1.8 aperture with 6-element lens coupled with optical image stabilization technology enables you to take steadier & detailed photos/videos.
Apart from that, you’ll have Dual Rear 12MP Camera with optical zoom in iPhone 7 Plus, 12MP wide-angle and telephoto cameras with 56mm telephoto lens. A quad-LED true tone will flash 50% brighter. Furthermore, the telephoto lens will allow you to take pictures with depth-of-field effect- also known as bokeh. It means, both cameras work together to make the object sharp while blurring the background. I’m guessing people using DSLR cameras will surely love this feature. The front facing camera on both iPhones got even better as well. We’re talking about 7MP, f/2.2 aperture, HD video recording and auto image stabilization here.

Hardware and Software:
Keeping in mind the customers’ problem here, Apple made the 64-bit Quad-core Processor even faster (Apple A10 Fusion) than last year’s A9 series. This is again the most powerful chip ever in a smartphone. The high-end nature of this smartphone coupled with such kind of processor makes it highly efficient at conserving battery and handling tasks. In this lineup users are promised to experience best battery life ever in an iPhone. Furthermore, Messaging is expressive and awesome experience is expected here. That and a whole new line of features will be bundled in iOS 10 as well.

iPad Pro vs. iPad Air 2 – The Real Difference
There’s a lot of marketing that goes into naming products and Apple is great at it. Product marketing is more than placing a lowercase “i” or “Apple” in the front of a product name and calling it a day. An iPhone 6s Plus is notably different than the iPhone 6s and the MacBook Pro vastly outperforms the new MacBook.

Despite looking nearly identical, the iPad Pro operates on a different level than the older iPad Air 2. So while the iPad Air is perfect for games, movies, books and everyday entertainment, the iPad Pro is an absolute game changer for the people who are looking for that boost in productivity. These are the big differences between the models and why they matter:

The Specs

iPad Air 2
- 7-inch retina display
- A8X processor with M8 motion coprocessor
- Available in 16GB and 64GB storage configurations
iPad Pro (9.7)
- 7-inch retina display
- A9X processor with M9 motion coprocessor
- Available in 32GB, 128GB and 256GB storage configurations
Apple Pencil

The Apple Pencil is not the world’s first smart stylus, but it might be the best. It is comparable to the stylus on the Microsoft Surface and it’s certainly the best companion tool ever produced for the iPad. It looks like a stylus designed by Apple with its white color and smooth, rounded edges. It’s one of the prettiest stylus, and it’s also the sharpest against the iPad screen, which is where users really fall in love with the Apple Pencil.

This thing is precise, which is what makes it such a powerful tool for a multitude of applications. Graphic designers can use it to create pieces that were once limited to Adobe software on the desktop. Businesspeople can use note-taking apps that have recognition software that turn handwriting into typed font. Education apps use the stylus to make learning more fun and effective.

The Apple Pencil is only compatible with the iPad Pro, making it an obvious choice for the applications above.

Power & Speed

The iPad Pro features the next-generation A9X processor and M9 coprocessor, making it the fastest iPad on the market. While this doesn’t matter for people who just want to watch Netflix and play Angry Birds, power users who push the limits will certainly see the difference.

Graphic designers and artists will see a big benefit in the processor’s increased speed as their projects render in real time. One of the reasons the Apple Pencil is exclusive to the iPad Pro is because it has the power to seamlessly read the stylus and create images without any lag or delay.

Storage

The iPad Air 2 is available in 16GB and 64GB, which is plenty of space for most consumers. In comparison, the iPad Pro goes all the way up to 256GB for users who need to store large files and work with large projects. Music, pictures and applications take up space, but it’s video professionals who will likely benefit from the added storage as video is the biggest storage hog on any device.

Price

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro starts at $599 for the 64GB model, and the iPad Air 2 starts at $399 for the 16GB model. The Apple Pencil is not included which costs $99, so the true cost is really $699 versus $399. For users who only want movies and games, they should save themselves the extra money. But for people who want the power of the Pencil and extra speed, the iPad Pro will not let them down.

GearShield Sport Waterproof Case by Gearbeast
It wasn’t long ago when I happened to drop my Nokia phone on the newly furnished wooden floor of our lounge and we had to actually get that repaired.
For now, things have changed. Since the world has switched from old school feature phones to fragile smartphones, we have increased productivity, better design requirements and most importantly we want readily available access to our mobiles no matter we’re in restroom or at construction sites. So comes, the fear of getting our expensive smartphones bumped, dumped and sometimes broken have also increased.
The solution to this problem has also appeared in shape of modern protective cases. These cases we’ve featured before are waterproof, dustproof, shockproof and weather-proof and are equally convenient as well. The problem isn’t hundred percent solved, yet the manufacturers have recently put forth some cases which have quenched the fire of angry users to some extent.
So, we brought another protective case to our showcase. Thanks to Gearbeast for their support in recommending this product to our readers. Gearbeast has recently launched GearShield Sport Case for iPhone 6, 6S, 6 Plus and 6S Plus is a complete package for careless enthusiasts like you.

GearShield Sport is Completely Waterproof
GearShield Sport Case makes you worry less and do more if you have outdoor plans like fishing, skiing or football at beach. We found the case quite luxurious in being water resistant while providing ease of access to all buttons and controls. A rugged protective case that provides protections against bumbs and cracks and at the same time looks classy, appeals us more than any other case. As they say, the GearShield case is made to live up to 2 meters underwater and that automatically makes it dust-proof too. As I would expect my $10 worth of screen protector to be, the screen guard is scratch resistant and provides higher level of touch sensitivity. Again, nobody needs to test it by rubbing it over a big rock. Act normal and your iPhone will be there for years unharmed.

It’s Shock-proof
Getting your phone dropped is somehow more important issue than getting it drenched. GearBeast may sound salesy when it claims that their case is super crazy protective and can endure all kinds of bumps and drops available in the universe. But, the point I noticed is that they have used military-specific shock proof polycarbonate frame. With that engineering stuff, it’s been tested to withstand 2 meters drop. And that’s enough for us. Cool!

High Quality Video and Sound
Here’s the actual difference between GearShield Sport case and other waterproof cases (as far I’ve experienced). When you have fully sealed your phone into an ultimate waterproof and shockproof case, will it affect media experience, especially sound? We had talked about Solar Case earlier and that was in the legion of first waterproof cases generation. Many objected their sound quality and charging problems. The GearShield Sport case is an enhanced version of waterproof cases evolution. Of course, they still seek for perfection. It features a crystal clear antireflective optical lens and an over-tested enhanced sound design. They let us view HD photos and videos and experience clear audio respectively. It was quite interesting to record videos with as much clarity as I would expect my iPhone 6S Plus to record without any protective case.

Ultra-sleek, Lightweight and Slim
Last but not least, we can’t take guarantees of protection from water, dust, sand, snow, and shock at the cost of lightweight and sleek iPhone. To make a bulky case with waterproof specs is pointless. Here, satisfactory point is, the compact and sleek construction of GearShiled Sport is not compromised for mere protection. But if it’s only about being bulky, the case gets 6 marks out of 10. It’s a matter of concern, if I surf the internet while in bathtub or take iPhone to swimming with me. I’d say it’s made nevertheless for that.
