購入後、もうすぐ一週間になるiPhone 7の仕様をiPhone 6と比較しながら下にまとめておきます。データはMactrackerからGeneral、Chip and Memory、Connectionsを転記。Mactrackerは単位をメートル、通貨を日本円に設定しました。

iPhone 6と比較してみると、発売時の価格が円高の影響もあるのかiPhone 7で大幅な値下げになっている。容量が増えて価格が大幅に下がっている。重量が9グラム重くなり、寸法が微妙に大きくなっている。ディスプレイの大きさや解像度、画素密度に変更はないものの明るさが500 cd/m2から625 cd/m2へと明るくなっている。入力方法はマルチタッチから3Dタッチへと変わり、Touch IDの仕様に変化はないものの、精度と反応速度が改善されていることは実感できる。

プロセッサーとコアの数が進化し、内蔵メモリの容量が増えているようだが、処理速度の向上を実感できるようなことをしていないので今の所、違いはよくわからない。

ヘッドフォンはほとんど使っていなかったので、iPhone 7で3.5mmのヘッドフォンジャックがなくなっても利便性に変わりはない。Wi-Fiは新たにMIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) が搭載されたことで、通信速度が向上したように感じる。これまでiPad mini 4の方がiPhone 6よりもWi-Fiでの通信速度が速かったのはMIMOのおかげ？対応ネットワークが増えているけれど、特に違いはわからない。カメラの性能がiSightとFaceTimeの両方で性能が向上しているが、これは違いが実感できる。バッテリー容量が150 mAh増加したが、今の所、違いはよくわからない。電源アダプターの仕様は変更なしなので、iPhone 6のアダプターを使いまわしすることができる。（iPhone 7の電源アダプターはまだケースから出していない。）環境性能に関しては防水性能の有無が異なるが、水辺で使用していないので、性能が発揮できていない。
