Apple has just announced its latest large-screen phone the iPhone 7 Plus. Not surprisingly, the company calls it the “best iPhone ever created,” with dual cameras, an all new jet-black color (yay!), the elimination of the headphone jack (alas!) and a new processor called the A10 Fusion.
But how powerful exactly is the new phone compared with its existing peers in the market? If you’re wondering how the iPhone 7 Plus stacks up against others in terms of hardware specs, here’s the lowdown:
