MacVoices #16181: The MacJury's Take On The iPhone 7 Members of The MacJury convened after having varied, but adequate, amounts of time with their new iPhone 7 models to talk about their impressions. Some of the topics you might expect were evaluations of the camera, home button, lack of headphone jack and the two new color options. What you wouldn’t expect are discussions of future phone interfaces, ways to get more health information out, and case choices for the new device. Involved in the deliberations were Mark Fuccio, John Martellaro, and host Chuck Joiner.
