The dual lenses will also allow you to play with depth of field via a software update later this year. When you're taking a photo, you can select a "portrait mode" that with a bit of (okay, probably a lot of) processing you'll be able to choose different points of focus and add effects like blurry backgrounds. It's not quite a Lytro, but again it's something we've seen work fairly well in past phones (namely HTC's One M8).
So, we now have a phone that's storing more image data than every before, along with potentially a short "Live Photo" video clip: We're talking upwards of 6MB of storage taken up every time you press the shutter. To remedy that, Apple has finally dropped its much maligned 16GB storage option. The lowest storage tier is now 32GB, with the middle- and top-tier options now sitting at 128GB and 256GB, respectively. Essentially, they've doubled everything.
Sticking with the forced segues, it would be remiss of Apple to let you look at those photos you've stored on last year's screen, and so it's improving both models' displays. There's no resolution bump -- we're still talking 1334 x 750 for the 4.7-inch 7 and 1920 x 1080 for the 5.5-inch 7 Plus -- but there is an improvement in color gamut. Both phones now support the P3 color space, which debuted on the iMac range before heading to the iPad Pro 9.7.
P3 is a cinematic standard, and it covers a color range 25 percent larger than the sRGB gamut used in the 6S. There's an argument to be made -- and it's been made, believe me -- that Apple should've gone with the widely used Adobe RGB gamut, which is similar in size but covers more green and blue than P3. But Apple is sticking to its guns. As for what all this means for you, dear reader: You'll see much deeper reds and yellows than you would previously, which is handy for viewing images with red-and-yellow things (white people, sunsets, fall leaves) in them.
What better way to enjoy your... okay I give up on segues. Apple killed the headphone jack. It's betting that the future of headphones is wireless, and that's a fair bet. But the vast majority of headphones in stores (and in homes) are wired. To remedy that, it's packing in Lightning EarPods and this beautiful and super elegant Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter in the box:
