A recent rumour has it will be an exclusive of the Plus model even next year.
I'd buy the plus for the camera alone, but let's wait and see
I always have had iPhones, never owned an android device. Very happy with my iPhone 6S (although i think its design is hideous). But when I look at the screen quality and low light images some of my android friends make, I have to admit their better. Hopefully iPhone 7 catches up.
It's unfair to judge these images as they have been compressed for online use. However, it appears that they have been edited to boost saturation and sharpness to some degree. Access to the RAW files would be far more useful.
That's weird, because Nissan Stadium is 86W, not E. Latitude is correct, longitude is 180º off.
Compression certainly won't help but I do feel the sample images don't look as bad as they have done on my 6s Plus.
I know there are a plethora of apps widely available for tweaking images pre and post shot but I do think Apple are missing a trick not letting the end consumer alter things like white balance, ISO without having to resort to a third party.

So all I have to do is hire a Sports Illustrated professional photographer and my pictures will look like this too?
No. I posted the original article and the pics look alot better.
[doublepost=1473664590][/doublepost]I posted the article before and the pictures look better straight from that site.
The camera looks great you cannot please users on the internet these days no ones ever happy lol.
Anyways when i saw the pictures i was like
It won't give me the full resolution picture when I click on it (tried two browsers), so I can't really tell how good they are.
Ah I love the new camera posts, suddenly the fanboys and haters alike all have been professional photographers for years.
The pics look good. It's a phone, not a DSLR, and I am not attempting to get featured in National Geographic or any other media. If you are, then you should look further than a smartphone camera. Any improvement on my personal pictures is fine by me. Quit acting like the pics are supposed to rival that of a $3,000+ setup.

If they'd put the double camera in the 4.7" model, and included the wireless 'phones in the box, I might have been tempted. But for now my 6S is just perfect for me.
You're in the wrong forum mate.
Nice post. This thread is a typical example of that. Trolls everywhere. Reads worse than YouTube comments at times - minus the cursing, which I wish they allowed here.
Completely agree. I'm not even sure how they will sort this site out as it's gotten ridiculous.
I wouldn't go that far, but I would say that a professional photographer with any modern smartphone could have taken these. While I'm sure the camera on the new iPhone 7 definitely rocks, I don't see these photos as anything exemplary. They're GOOD, but not exemplary.
Am I the only one not seeing anything special here?
I have the iPhone 7 Plus on order, and I'm sure the camera will be great. But these photos don't really show anything spectacular compared to my 6S Plus.
Unless you are telling me they were shot from the parking lot using the telephoto lens.

Agree completely. These images are not at all impressive with the compression that has gone on here. They are incredibly over sharp and not particularly clean in detail. The parachute and players bench ones are slight exceptions.
Again, agree completely. Will be good to get some more in the wild shots and see some links to unedited / uncompressed shots.
I'm sure it is compression issues as I've been blown away at how good the photos are on my iPhone 6 and this will be a leap above that for sure. Also, we don't know how much post processing happened here, I hope a lot for how sharp they look.
Having RAW will be amazing, can't wait to get to use the 7.

I don't understand all the trolls out here 
complaining about the photos. I guess we have to wait and get our own hands on the camera. I'm very excited about the ability to shoot RAW. Since it's what I do when I take pictures with my Fuji. I always loved the cameras of the iPhones and I'm really looking forward in shooting with the iPhone 7+. I'm not a professional photographer, it's just a hobby, but I've seen a lot of "professional" photographers that take worse pictures than me.. As far as what I've seen, the photos look great! Can't wait to test it in low light btw. here are some of mine: www.500px.com/pixelements

That is a function of wide-angle lenses. These types of short-focal-length lenses lessen the need for more intricate (and space requiring) focussing mechanisms, and are therefore used by many point-and-shoot cameras and most cellphone cameras.
These pictures look great, but are admittedly taken under ideal circumstances, i.e. bright daylight. They are excellent if no cropping is needed. A quick zoom-in confirms that. Overall still impressive though!
