Description

The Apple iPhone 7 is the successor to the highly acclaimed iPhone 6s. As such, it brings a multitude of enhancements in key areas, including design, performance, and user experience. While the overall shape and size of the phone have been left intact, there are now glossy and matte black options available. Also, the handset is now IP67-certified, making it water-resistant. On its back, the refined 12MP camera features optical image stabilization, wider aperture of F1.8, and a quad LED TrueTone flash for better low-light performance. Battery life has been given a welcome boost that could provide users around 2 hours 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 A1778, Apple A1660

iPhone 7 only last one year and two months

Posted: Jan 07, 2018, 12:25 PM

Phone owned for more than a year

A year and two months ago I decided it was time to switch from android to apple. I went big by getting the iPhone 7. Took care of it like a baby, only to have it malfunction on me a week ago. Took it to apple and they said it’s not my fault, and it was an internal problem or perhaps something just overworked internally. But since the warranty was valid for only a year, they said I had to purchase another one. I am still paying off this broken malfunctioned iPhone, owe it 400 for a piece of work that should have lasted me at least 4 years the way I took care of it. I am switching back to android, never had a problem with that. As far as i know, iPhone disappointed me and I can never trust it again. I feel like I was robbed of $800.
