This pic doesn't look blurry, it's look over compressed. Let's see it without the upload. They did not upload full resolution pics from the phone online sucking up peoples data.
Got a tip for us?

Tim Cook Shares First Photos Taken With iPhone 7 Plus

Wow, just about any post nowadays concerning Apple brings out all of the child-like Apple haters, akin to cockroaches attracted to leftover food. I guess they are emboldened by the clickbait at so called tech news sites like the Verge or Engadget.
Rather obviously I don't mean LITERALLY nothing, but instead, negligible amounts of PCB real estate. I have been an electronics repair and calibration engineer & electronics production line assembly worker in consumer, industrial and military electronics since 1991, so I think I have a fair amount of experience.
Refer to this video - a TINY smartphone which still manages to include a 3.5mm jack AND a SIM slot, and then tell me this story about "too much space" again...
I would be deeply concerned if they were not "the best iPhones Apple has ever made."
It cracks me up every year when they open the keynote with "these are the best iPhones we've ever made." Yeah, no s***. What are they supposed to say? These are somewhat mediocre, probably not the best iPhones we've ever made. Keep last year's model?
Blurry? Not in any way shape or form. You need glasses if you think these are blurry.
Nah. Too crammed. They'd need to remove the lightning port and the sim tray.
A bigger sensor wouldn't hurt either. In fact, I'd take a bigger sensor/lens assembly over a thousand tiny lenses/sensors any day of the week.
There are no originals. They are all downsized/downsampled and are nowhere near 12MP default that the iPhone 7 lens shoots. There's no way to tell what's, if anything, been done to them. And, as many already mentioned, handpicked full sunlight photos taken by a 'pro' are the least impressive way to showcase a camera's supposed prowess.

Every camera has "some" bokeh. The "blur" varies on a number of things such as the subject distance (closer = narrower DoF), focal length (telephoto = more background compression), and sensor size (smaller = wider DoF).
That last point is what's important here. Compared to a 35mm/full-frame camera, an iPhone at f/1.8 is really equivalent to something like f/16—in other words, very little bokeh.
The telephoto lens on the iPhone 7 Plus is f/2.8 so it'll have less bokeh. But being telephoto naturally compresses the background which makes up for some of it.
That's where the second lens comes into play. The wider lens & sensor will capture the same field of view as the telephoto (plus more but not needed here). The images from both sensors get compared by the ISP and parallax is used to determine what is close and what is far. That's extremely powerful data that can be used to selectively blur different pixels at different distances. The result is fake bokeh but if done well then it could be a game-changer and get away from all these flat images.
ROFL at the people saying these pictures are bad... I'm sure they'd be national treasures if they were taken by an Android phone.
Adios, have fun with your tail chasing and circular reasoning.
It's fake bokeh produced by the software, not the lens itself. At these distances, a 56mm (The telephoto lens in the 7 Plus) won't product any bokeh whatsoever on its own.
That's not the point. They are stating the obvious. Everyone would expect the latest iPhone to be "best ever made."
Since you don't own a 7+, I am not sure how you feel able to qualify absolutes.
Strange, the Moto G4 produces "bokeh", no matter how minimal, it's still there, Google it.

So it's the truth, and even if it's obvious, better than lying.
Hahaha. Total photochop. You can totally tell the stadium, soldiers and players are all Chinese.
Honestly, from these photos I can't tell anything. I've never found photographs made in harsh light very appealing.
If it were me I would have made photos somewhere else in light that's not so harsh. Making photos in mid-day sun is killer for any camera. Unless you're using fill-flash, which for sports pix, and especially for a phone cam, is usually not an option.

The two have nothing to do with each other. I am not a prison inmate. I am right, and what I said is fact. Try to refute it, I dare you.
Perhaps I have a better monitor than you do. 800x600 is a low resolution photo these days, and is quite blurry on my monitor.
Have a lovely week and enjoy life. I don't come here to cause arguments, be happy
God bless you!All lenses produce bokeh. In fact, you could tell the quality of the lens by looking at how butterfly smooth bokeh it produces. It's why I kept using Minolta lenses after I got the Sony Alphas. They produced beautiful colors and wonderful bokeh. Current iPhone creates this effect, just not as well. The software manipulation is pretty clever actually.
Just wait and see, when Apple incorporates a night vision camera or capability this dual camera will magically fit into the 4.7 inch model. The same excuse was made for OIS on the plus model. I owned both 6 plus and 6S plus for the OIS and 1080p screen, though I wonder if the bezel could shrink my clothes pockets would appreciate it more
He doesn't need an iPhone 7 Plus. Maybe he actually understands photography and knows that a 56mm f/2.8 lens focusing onto a 1/3" sensor results in an 35mm-equivalent f/16 aperture—which means virtually zero bokeh at these subject distances. Landscape photographers don't even shoot with that small of an aperture.
Fair enough. I'm suprised Apple choose these, they really do not do the potential of the hardware justice. I'd have thought the photographer would have given Apple some better shots, taking advantage of the upgraded hardware.
Mind you I have seen crappy shots provided by canon and Leica at launch too.
