Description

The Apple iPhone 7 Plus is here - big, capable, and long-lasting as its predecessor. While its overall size and shape have been left intact, the latest models comes in two new shades - matter black and shiny Jet Black. Also, the phone is now resistant to water and dust ingress, bearing IP67 certification. One of the highlights of the iPhone 7 Plus is on its back. The phone's dual-camera setup allows it to take better low-light shots, just like the iPhone 7. However, the secondary camera also gives it 2x optical zoom capabilities, as well as the option to add beautiful background blur effect to images. Battery life has been given a welcome boost that could provide users around 1 hour of additional use time. The new A10 Fusion chip is up to 40% more powerful than last-year's A9, yet promises great power efficiency. And while the iPhone 7 lacks an audio jack, the box includes Lightning connector EarPods, as well as a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter.

This device is also known as Apple A1784, Apple A1661

Still Running Good in 2020 (3 years plus and still going Strong)

Posted: Feb 24, 2020, 12:19 PM

Phone owned for more than a year

I’ve had this device for years. It’s my first Apple Device. I got it in 2016 when it came out. In 2020 it’s still good and stacks up good against some newer cellphones. It still works great. Everything works fine. I’ve never had an issue with this phone. All the specs I still give them a 10 almost 4 years later. A very good product made by Apple.

What happened?

This is the second time I've had a 7 plus. The first time it was exceptional, this time however, it has been plagued by battery issues and is quite slow. Could that be because of updates or my new power usage?

The best iphone ever

Edited: May 29, 2020, 3:58 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

This phone is amazing. It is fast, the photos, videos and all camera features are amazing. The battery is up and running for two days. If I use a social network I have battery for 24 hours. I tried iPhone X and it seems like it is a little bit faster, but I think that iPhone the series PLUS is the best.
