It has been a week since the new iPhone 7 generation was released, and the reviews having been coming out thick and fast.

One of the coolest reviews of the new generation was done by blogger Nilay Patel for The Verge. Comparing both the phones to previous generations as well as the latest Samsung, he walks viewers through the various features of the new phones in a concise manner.

Here’s a snippet of his written review:

The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are deeply unusual devices. They are full of aggressive breaks from convention while wrapped in cases that look almost exactly like their two direct predecessors. Even that continuity of design is a break from convention; after almost a decade of Apple’s steady two-year iPhone update pattern, merely retaining the same design for a third straight year plays against expectations.

Inside that case, everything else about the iPhone 7 is a decisive statement about the future. The dual cameras on the iPhone 7 Plus promise to usher in a new era in mobile photography. The iconic iPhone home button is no longer a physical button, but instead a sophisticated ballet of pressure sensors and haptic vibration motors that simulate the feel of a button. The new A10 Fusion processor blends two high-power cores that rival laptop performance with two low-power cores that combine with a much larger battery to extend run time by up to two hours.

And that’s just the introduction.

His review covers everything new, from the processors to the cameras, as well as the lack of a headphone jack, the new home button, and it’s stagnant look.
