There are power/back and menu/Bluetooth buttons on the right side of the Gear 360 with an indicator light between them. Like using the Gear S3 Frontier with the iPhone, please don't do it. From what I understand, support for live streaming is not supported yet on iOS either. However, after that, the app kept crashing or locking up. I installed the app on my iPhone 7 Plus and was able to make the connection via Wi-Fi Direct. The Gear 360 is not yet available to purchase, so I am hoping that Samsung gets the app working for iPhone users soon. The current Samsung Gear 360 app has a 2/5 star rating on the App Store and is not yet ready for release to the masses. One new feature in the 2017 Samsung Gear 360 is the ability to connect to an iPhone. More megapixels isn't the standard to measure quality by, as we have learned over the years with smartphone cameras. However, there is less distance between the two camera sensors, so stitching of images and video is better and the results are better than last year's model. If you look at the specs side-by-side, it appears that this new model takes a step back with lower image resolution and a smaller non-removable battery. The display is also easy to see down below the record button. This year's model has the ball up top with a cylindrical tapered body below, so it is easy to hold up and also much easier to press in on the record button (it's built much like the other consumer-focused 360 cameras available today). Last year the Gear 360 was a big ball that came with a cool little tripod that you could use to stand by itself or hold onto in order to capture images and video. The most obvious difference between last year's model and the 2017 version is the form factor. Friends and family who can't make the hike up the mountain can now experience more than what a simple photo shows them. As I wrote when I evaluated the first Gear 360, one reason these cameras are great is to help you share experience with others who can't be a part of those experiences. Over the past couple of months, I have taken this new Gear 360 fly fishing and hiking, with plans to take it tonight to the Seattle Reign FC NWSL soccer match and with me on an upcoming trip to China. I attended the Samsung Galaxy S8 launch event in New York City on March 29, and while seated in the audience watching the event, Samsung handed out the new 2017 Samsung Gear 360 for all attendees to take with them to test out. The new Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus offer a lot for everyone. Samsung is the most popular Android smartphone maker and has done a good job addressing both consumer and enterprise needs.
