I have an iPhone 5 and this looks to be a solid upgrade. I like the faster processor and improved battery life. The water protection will be a big plus. The iPhone 5 feels like I am using an XP desktop on a Pentium 4.
Music might be highly improved. The mid-range size is 128 GB, which will easily accommodate scores of albums and thousands of MP3 tracks. iOS 10 supposedly will enable VoiceOver users to use a Bluetooth speaker without playing VoiceOver on it. The stereo speakers that supposedly produce 50 percent more volume will round out a good music enhancement with this iPhone release. Apple isn’t hyping it all as a package because it wants to sell Apple Music subscriptions rather than encourage people to transfer MP3 files on their hard drives. I was once caught in a rainstorm. Even with a raincoat, I got soaked along with my iPhone. The rain was disorienting and I tried using my iPhone to locate myself. I discovered the touch screen on the iPhone doesn’t work with wet fingers. Eventually the iPhone stopped working. I thought my magic iPhone was a goner. Nevertheless I took it out of its case at home and rubbed it down with a dry towel and put a fan on it. I plugged it into the power supply and presto it came to life. With the iPhone 7, this will not be a problem in the future. Kelly On 9/7/16, Terje Strømberg <[email protected]> wrote: > +1 and quad core cpu in a phone (fusion).
