Both the smartphones will come with optical image stabilisation (OIS) contrary to earlier leaks that OIS will only come on the Plus variant. "The 12-megapixel camera includes optical image stabilisation on both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, and a larger ƒ/1.8 aperture and 6-element lens enable brighter, more detailed photos and videos, and a wide colour capture allows for more vibrant colours with more detail. iPhone 7 Plus features the same 12-megapixel wide angle camera as iPhone 7 and adds a 12-megapixel telephoto camera that together offer optical zoom at two times and up to 10 times digital zoom for photos," an Apple spokesperson said during the launch adding that the company would add a new depth-of-field effect later this year.
