Why The iPhone 7 Could Actually Be Better For Car Enthusiasts

1. Optical Image Stabilization
OIS isn窶冲 a revolutionary technology in a smartphone; in fact, it窶冱 been around in cell phones since at least 2012, when Nokia launched its Lumia 920. But Apple has been very slow to introduce the lens-stabilizing tech in its products, only offering it in the larger iPhone 6 Plus. But now it窶冱 standard in both the iPhone 7 and Phone 7 Plus. And that窶冱 a big deal.

OIS makes small adjustments to the position of a camera窶冱 lens to compensate for shake, ensuring that high-exposure night pictures turn out well, and videos are nice and smooth.
It窶冱 a big deal for people who frequently find themselves trying to take in-car video, and who窶囘 rather not have the fixed field of view of a mounted GoPro.

I took the in-car GT350R video above with my OIS-equipped Nokia Lumia 1020, and that video turned out far better than it should have, considering I was struggling to keep my arm steady as the G-forces tugged at me through the turns.
So if you窶决e an Apple fanboy who doesn窶冲 want to lug around an iPhone 6 Plus and who loves recording in-car footage, this should be a welcome addition to the smaller iPhone 7.
If you窶决e not an Apple fanboy, you窶况e had plenty of options for OIS-equipped phones, so this means nothing to you. 2. Water Resistance
I like to work on my cars a whole lot, and that puts me in contact with all sorts of fluids, including coolant, engine oil, transmission fluid, gear oil, washer fluid, brake fluid, brake cleaner, power steeirng fluid, penetrating lubricant... the list goes on and on.

But since I keep my phone on me when I wrench窶琶t窶冱 useful when I have to look up a torque spec, and also for safety reasons窶芭y phone tends to get soaked in all sorts of nastiness. I窶况e killed multiple devices thanks to this abundance of liquid chemicals in my garage (and I窶况e also probably reduced my life expectancy markedly) but the new iPhone is IP67 water resistant, meaning it窶冱 rated to be submerged in one meter of water for up to a minute.
Who knows, maybe it could handle being covered in oil like the rest of my stuff. 3. A 50 Percent Brighter Flash
Wrenchers like me often use our phones as flashlights when we窶决e working in a dark spot like under the car or underhood, or if we窶决e trying to peek into a deep, dark engine coolant passage or transmission case.
I窶冤l admit that a flashlight is a better tool for the job, as it窶冱 more durable and fits in smaller spaces, but I usually don窶冲 have one on me in a pinch, so my phone gets the important task of making sure I don窶冲 drop something heavy on myself at night.
The new iPhone 7 has a 50 percent brighter 窶徠uad-LED True Tone窶? flash (whatever the hell that means) that窶冱 supposed to throw light 50 percent farther.
That might come in handy if you窶决e trying to fix a junky Honda at night, or if you don窶冲 want to pay too much for a 1948 Willys because the dark barn makes it hard to see the flaws. These are purely theoretical examples.4. Low Aperture, Wide Angle Lens, Depth-Of-Field Mode
The new iPhone has a more impressive camera than the outgoing model, because how else are they going to get you to dump your perfectly functional iPhone 6 for the new one?
Probably one of the most notable upgrades is the higher aperture. It窶冱 an f/1.8, which should theoretically allow in more light than the outgoing model窶冱 f/2.
