iPhone 7 in 2020 - worth buying? (Review) By 91Tech

The 2016, iPhone, 7 and 7 plus are known for losing the headphone jack, but they're also both very solid phones and have aged really well feeling fast, even on the latest version of iOS 13, hey how's, it's going I'm Josh from ninety-one. Second, today we're taking a look at the iPhone, 7 and 7 plus. How did they hold up in 2020 and are they still worth buying the iPhone 7 and 7 plus were made to be kind of in between devices as Apple prepared for the next year's iPhone 10, but that doesn't mean they didn't bring anything to the table, water, resistance, capacitive and thus fast, your home button, a second telephoto camera in the seven plus the iPhone 7 was a decent-sized upgrade to the success, albeit not a huge one, but you're, probably not interested in that. So much as whether the seven is still worth picking up. So, let's start with that in 2020. The iPhone 7 definitely feels older.

That home button setup does feel a bit antiquated next to the newest iPhone, but to be fair, I know a lot of people actually prefer it. So it's really just a matter of preference actually using the iPhone 7 doesn't feel too old, as it is on the latest version of iOS 13 and should continue to get updates, at least until the September 2021, although personally I would guess it'll get until 2022, if not further, just based on some of the apples patterns in the past. When it comes to iPhone updates, the iPhone 7 is no longer being sold by Apple, so you'll probably have to turn to the used or refurbished market. You might find them from some carriers, although they might be over pricing them so watch out for that, but on ebay. com they only cost a hundred and fifty dollars u.

s. So yeah, that's kind of a great deal. There's a certain point where no matter how much better the newest iPhone is. It doesn't really matter because of the value proposition for the iPhone.7 is just so good. The iPhone 7 isn't perfect and that, namely, comes down to battery life.

The 7 plus battery is a lot better because it's bigger, but the smaller 7 does often have issues. So that's something to watch out for, even if your 7 has a perfectly healthy battery, it's not gonna, be great, so make sure you have a charger nearby. That's definitely the biggest benefit of getting the 7 plus, although there are a couple. More first is that second camera lens which allows for portrait mode photos and then there's also an extra gigabyte of RAM and, of course the phone is bigger, I suppose that's a benefit. At the end of the day, I'd recommend going for the phone that feels better in the hand-over features because yeah, the 7 plus, is better, but it's also more money.

So for me, it really comes down to just what feels more comfortable but yeah. There's the answer right out of the gate. The iPhone 7 is worth buying used to refurbish. $150 is a perfect price point, but now, let's take a step back and talk about the design. The iPhone 7 was the last all aluminum iPhone, and it came in a lot of different colors.

Gold rose, gold, silver matte, black jet black and a special edition red color. The jet black is actually a super unique color in that it has a different kind of glossy finish. It doesn't feel like aluminum and while it scratches really easily I really like it, it is unique. I also really love the matte black I have here, I honestly think the iPhone 7 is one of the best years when it comes to colors for iPhones, particularly with the blacks. They just look perfect on the front of the phone.

We have either a 4.7 or 5.5 inch display, depending on whether you get the smaller 7 or the plus, both screens look pretty good, and while the pixel density is slightly better on the plus, you probably won't notice the difference under the screen. We have the capacitive home button, it's a bit different in that it doesn't actually physically click, but instead mimics a click by vibrating that might sound weird, but you'll get used to it, and it's better because it's actually faster than a physical button. It also has touch ID, which is blazing fast and still a great way to get into your iPhone on the bottom of the phone. We have. The Lightning port and no headphone jack I'm mentioning this, because it's the first iPhone without a headphone jack.

So that's something to keep in mind with the 7. The feel of this phone is good. It's a pretty nice balance of being light and thin as newer iPhones have gone, thicker heavier and more fragile, as they've moved to glass backs. This is probably the last iPhone I'd be willing to use without a case, although you probably still want a case just in case you're. Welcome.

Let's talk about the cameras. We have the 12 megapixel rear sensor on the back here and on the 7 plus we have a second 12 megapixel telephoto lens. The second lens allows for 2 times zoom, as well as Porsche Road photos that blur the background behind the subject. Overall, from these photos, you can see that in the right conditions, the iPhone 7 is fine. It takes all right photos, not nearly as good as the iPhone 11, but considering that $150 price tag, it's pretty tough, to complain per video.

We can shoot in 4k up to 30 frames per second, and video does look pretty decent. Definitely good enough for most people's standards. The selfie camera is an improvement over the iPhone 6s with 7 megapixels. This is a fine selfie I suppose could be better, but also could be worse. The camera on the iPhone, 7 and 7 plus, are by no means spectacular, but they don't have to be when you're paying so relatively little for such a functional, pretty good smartphone.

You don't have a lot of room to complain, and so I'd say the iPhone 7 is more than satisfactory in this department. But let's go over the most interesting subject ever created tech specs. We have apples, 810, chipset and either 2 or 3 gigabytes of RAM, depending on whether you get the smaller seven or the seven plus, while the plus does have more RAM performance between the two really shouldn't feel much different. So I wouldn't worry about that. The phone performs really well considering the age and honestly can do almost anything.

The iPhone 11 can do at least on a software level. I was 13 feels good here, and the benefit of going with an iPhone is at least another couple years of support. Honestly, I don't think I could recommend and not going for the iPhone 7 if it's right at your price range, because it really is a great phone with few downsides. Considering the value battery life is an aspect that again can be rough in the smaller 7. But if you can live with that or get the 7 plus, you should be fine.

Obviously, you're going to have a better experience, buying the iPhone, 10, R or 11, especially with battery life. But what you get here for around one hundred and fifty dollars is pretty darn great. Should you buy the iPhone 7? It completely depends on your situation and general price range and whether you think this is the phone for you. That being said, is the iPhone 7 worth buying? Absolutely it might not be the best phone. It may not have the best specs, it's not blazing fast anymore.

It doesn't have the greatest camera, but it's at a perfect price for what you get. So the value is there and with that I think I'm pretty much done here. Do you have an iPhone 7?
