The wait is over! IPhone 7 now official, features stereo speakers and water resistance

Welcome the new iPhone 7, which just became official and there are lot of changes, some subtle, some major ones.

Starting from the design, the iPhone 7 is now water- and dust-resistant. With an IP67 certification, it can last up to 30 minutes under a meter of water.

The iPhone 7 looks almost the same as its predecessor, but with few key changes. The main among them is the new place of the antenna bands. They are now on the top and bottom edges on the back. Subjectively, this makes the iPhone 7 look a bit cleaner.

Let's take a look at the Full specs.
