Auch wenn die neuen Modelle optisch zunächst nicht von den alten zu unterscheiden sind, unter der Aluminiumhülle hat sich einiges getan.

The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are legitimately among the most interesting, opinionated, powerful phones Apple has ever shipped, and the most confident expressions of the company’s vision in a long time. iOS 10 is excellent, the cameras are better, and the performance is phenomenal.
