Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus

Big upgrades, but where's the next big thing?

Apple has stuck to the same iPhone design for the past three  years now. It’s a clean and simple look, and it still looks great, but it’s not exciting anymore. to illustrate just how similar these phones are, both the 7 and 7 Plus have identical dimensions to their predecessors. Having said that, both the 7 and 7 Plus are now IP67 water resistant, which means you can dunk them in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes. Apart from the dust and water resistance, there are three main visual differences between the 6s and the 7. First of all, the unsightly antenna bands on the back now curl around the edge of the phone, which makes them a bit less of an eyesore. on the Jet black and black models, they’re also black to blend into the body, which is a much welcome refinement. Second, the camera bump is now molded into the rear. Instead of the metal ring surrounding the camera module, the back of the case now forms a small curved lip around the camera. And finally, as you already know by now, there’s no 3.5mm headphone port.

While those were solid efforts in their own right, Silent Hill holds a special place in the hearts of horror fans, and any attempt to update it was bound to be scrutinized.
