Apple iPhone 7 (32GB) - Black

Product Information

It showed in our benchmark results as well, with the iPhone 7 finishing way out in front of the 6s in Geekbench 4. In the single-core test, for instance, the iPhone 7 scored 3,489 (up from the 6s’s 2,493) and it scored a massive 5,652 in the multi-core test (again, up from 4,102 on the 6s). That’s hugely impressive, and just nudges in front of the S7 and S7 Edge. It’s still not particularly brilliant compared to its Android rivals, however: the Galaxy S7 is miles in front with its 17hrs 48mins, not to mention the S7 Edge with its 18hrs 42mins. As a result, it’s clear Apple’s still got some way to go before it can compete with the top Android phones, but at least it’s an improvement on last year’s iPhone. Apple iPhone 7 review: Verdict succeeding the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus as the flagship devices in the iPhone series. Apple also released the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in numerous countries worldwide throughout September and October 2016. They were succeeded as flagship devices by the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus on September 12, 2017, and were discontinued with the announcement of the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro on September 10, 2019. It also doesn’t work with gloves, which isn’t particularly good news when the winter months are drawing in fast. We’ve tried a number of different gloves to test this out, and while some touchscreen gloves did work, the vast majority didn’t, so be prepared to brave the cold when you’re using your iPhone 7 this winter. It’s even more vexing now that iOS 10 doesn’t let you get to the PIN screen unless you press the home button, as swiping to the right and left only bring up the camera and search screens respectively.

The iPhone 7 remains a great cheap iOS option

This model does scratch very easily though, so you'll need to sling it in a case the second you get your hands on it… which rather defeats the object of owning it in the first place. And to that end, the iPhone 7 is a step forward from the 6S. The screen is more colorful – not in an overpowering technicolor way, but just in terms of richness, with the depth of color matching that of the 'cinema screen' according to Apple. It's a hard metric to test, but the color quality is certainly high. However, in day to day use you won't notice much wrong with the screen at all, as even at the HD resolution on offer you've still got a decent amount of pixels, so internet browsing and movie watching is still clean, clear and crisp enough. One thing Apple badly needs to sort out, though, is its auto brightness feature. The current setup is to blind you if you look at the phone in the dark, where other phones are more adept at dropping right down to the lowest possible brightness to save you from burning out your retinas. There’s no denying the iPhone 7 is a great smartphone, but none of its improvements are quite as impressive as I’d hoped – it feels more like an iterative S update than the next big evolutionary leap. It’s certainly raised the bar for iPhones a little higher, but in many ways it’s still catching up with its Android competitors, as neither the camera nor display is quite as good as the very best.

How you view this screen depends on what phone you're coming from on – if it's the iPhone 6 or lower, then you'll love the display, as it's brighter, more colorful and just as crisp as before. If, however, you're moving from certain Android handsets, then you might struggle with the lower res, as even many budget Android phones have 1080p screens, and side by side there is a drop.

iPhone 7 Battery Replacement

iPhone 7 is water resistant. Boasting an IP67 rating against dust and splash, it can withstand a dunk in the pool or a soak in the shower. Though it has joined the ranks of waterproof smartphones, it is not swim-proof. Apple also expressly excludes any form of water damage from its guarantee.

When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 5.42 inches (iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 12 mini), 5.85 inches (iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone XS, iPhone X), 6.06 inches (iPhone 14, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 11, iPhone XR), 6.12 inches (iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro), 6.46 inches (iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone XS Max), 6.68 inches (iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro Max) or 6.69 inches (iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro Max) diagonally. Actual viewable area is less. The white balance of the display is also improved to a warmer tone – there were rumors that Apple was going to be using the same True Tone display as seen in newer iPads. I am using my iphone 7 for eight months now on a daily basis for work and private purposes and would like to share my experiences:
