Apple iPhone 7: Initial tests and camera comparison with iPhone 6S




While we figure out whether the iPhone 7 is a worthy upgrade, here's what we've found so far.
Should you buy the iPhone 7? Well, that’s a question we’ll answer post the review. What we can give you right now, is a look at preliminary test results on the IPhone 7. Apple’s latest and greatest comes with a new SoC, OIS and a better display, but does that make it a worthy upgrade from the iPhone 6S? Here’s a quick look at the benchmarks and a comparison between the cameras on the iPhone 6S and iPhone 7.
Performance
Benchmark scores suggest that the new iPhone 7 is faster than any Android flagship. In fact, this is also evident in real world usage. However, the benchmarks put the iPhone 7 well ahead of the iPhone 6S as well. This, though, isn’t as evident on real world usage. If you’re using an iPhone 6 or lower, you’ll notice the difference easily.
In the low light images, the iPhone 6S tries to compensate slower shutter speeds by bringing the ISO up to 2000, whereas, the iPhone 7 achieves ¼ second shutter speeds, with 1250 ISO. You can see noise in the iPhone 7’s photos, but it’s lesser than that on the iPhone 6S. However, it is worth noting that the grains on the iPhone 6S are finer in very low light, whereas, the iPhone 7 creates distorted noise. As a result, the photo taken by the iPhone 7 can’t be salvaged by post processing as well as the 6S. Also, the noise reduction algorithms on the iPhone 7 affects colours more than that on the 6S.
