The iPhone 7 Plus was subject to a lot rumors in the last 5 months or so. Many credible sources quoted new theories only to later reject them or improve them with newer ones. Some of the most talked about theories about the iPhone 7 Plus involved its color scheme. It was previously thought that the space grey color will now make way for a deep blue color scheme. This theory has proven to be 50% true because Apple has indeed said goodbye to the space grey color but instead will see it replaced by two new color schemes; the jet black and the space black.

The jet black color scheme will only come in with the iPhone 7 Plus’s 128 and 256GB internal storage variants. This new exterior features a chrome-metallic kind material that is superb to look at. Its glossiness further adds to its beauty and the Apple monogram on its back panel will now be made of a shiny chrome-like material that proves to be the icing on the cake. Regarding its build quality, we’re not sure as to what exactly has been used but we’re confident it is something similar in the mold of the aluminum 7000 series used in the iPhone 6S Plus.

The iPhone 7 Plus is sleek as it is 7.3mm at its thickest. It features for the very first time in an iPhone, IP67 dust and waterproofing. This is excellent news as it keeps the iPhone in contention with the very best out there and gets the no-waterproofing monkey off its back.
Its display features similar specifications to the iPhone 6S Plus with a 5.5 inch backlit-LED IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with 401ppi pixel density protected by ion-strengthened glass and oleophobic coating. It allows 1080p resolution which is good to hear although we believe that the 500+ pixel densities in the Super AMOLEDs of the Note7 and S7 would perform visibly better than this. Its display is said to be 25% brighter than the iPhone 6S and it includes 3D-Touch technology and a wide color gamut. We would’ve liked Apple to decrease the size of the bezels though as the screen covers just 67% area of the iPhone 7 Plus’s front panel. It also weighs in at 188g which is a tad more for a 7.3mm smartphone.
