SAN FRANCISCO—As expected, Apple has taken the wraps off of its next-generation iPhones at today’s September product event. Apple confirmed the devices on Twitter with a post about the waterproof nature of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
Externally, the new phones are broadly similar to the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus that they’ll be replacing. The iPhone 7 has a 4.7-inch display and the larger 7 Plus has a 5.5-inch screen, and both phones retain the curved edges and camera bumps that helped define the iPhone 6 and 6S design. The antenna cutouts on the back of the phone have been tweaked to be less obvious, however, which gives the phone a somewhat cleaner look as long as you don’t have it in a case.
Both phones will come in a slightly wider range of color options than before. In addition to silver, gold, and rose gold, the phones will come in a “dark black” finish to replace the “space grey” color that Apple has been using (and changing) since 2013. There’s also a “piano black” finish that’s glossy rather than matte.
