3. iPhone 7 is waterproof

People sometimes accidentally drop their phone, with the worst is dropped and exposed the phone to liquid/water. Now with iPhone 7 is waterproof (Apple market it as water-splash resistant), if you accidentally drop it in kitchen sink or pour coffee on it, it won’t break.

Although this is not a good idea nor it’s recommended, but with iPhone 7, now for whatever reasons you can bring it bathing together with you without worry.

4. iPhone 7 is one of phones with longest battery life

Based on reviews done by multiple parties, iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are two of phones with longest battery life.

Depends on your daily usage, but for me using iPhone 7, and not the 7 Plus, at the end of the day my iPhone 7 is still left with 20% battery. I don’t really play games during weekdays, however I do use it pretty heavily during my commute time in the morning, while having lunch and while commute back from office to home, browse the internet, play Pokemon Go to get the daily streak, post and repost items to sell at Carousell (local “ebay” here), read Flipboard and listen to Spotify.

5. iPhone 7 has Apple Pay for easier transactions

With more and more banks support Apple Pay and more and more retails shops and restaurants support Apple Pay and even more countries supporting it, payment is just made easier and more secure. Instead of exposing your credit card number to the retailers, you can just flash out your iPhone while placing your finger on the Touch ID to authorize the payment,  then the bill is simply paid.

You’ll get SMS notification each time you use the Apple Pay, so tracking the spending is now easier.

In Singapore today, you can live even if you forget to bring your wallet. Top up MRT card, pay restaurant, buy snacks at supermarket, all can be done with Apple Pay.

6. iPhone 7 will have the longest support in terms of OS updates

Apple is known to give the longest support in terms of OS updates. With iPhone 4S, which introduced back in 2011, hold the record for the moment, 5 years continuous OS updates from iOS 5 until iOS 9. That’s 5 times updates which means 5 years since Apple only do major update to its iOS once a year.

Other phones from other manufacturer? Few of them only give updates within the first 3 years only from the year the device was introduced, while many of them are giving updates within 2 years or less.

7. iPhone 7 is an iPhone
