-Available in a 4.7’’ screen size for $649 and the Plus in a 5.5’’ screen size for $769.

A new camera stabilizer for when you take shaky photos
New six-element lens where the photo will be brighter and more detailed
New LED flash to go 50 percent further than past iPhone’s

Specific to the iPhone 7 plus, there are two 12 megapixel cameras where they come together to give the same focus and zoom as a large Canon camera.
Also on the Plus there is a new mode for the camera called “Portrait” that gives detailed clear photos of your face while the background will have a small blur to bring depth to the picture.
