Unfortunately,, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus don't accompany any VR capacities past the typical Google Cardboard similarity. Apple doesn't appear to put a lot into virtual reality now, yet that could change one year from now. In any case, Google's surely got an execution edge with its Daydream-fit Pixels



Battery 

What's more, we can't know for sure how long the 3,450mAh battery on the Pixel XL lasts contrasted with the iPhone 7 Plus' 2,900mAh.
