The iPhone 7 in 2023 at a first glance has aged almost as well as the first Shrek movie, boasting pleasant performance and 4K video recording for under $120 USD. However, its one fatal flaw is without a doubt a dealbreaker for many. And so, can it be brushed off, or is the iPhone 7 simply becoming a relic of the past?

Anyone here still using the iPhone 7 nowadays? How is it? Curious to hear your thoughts!
yes I am still, it’s pretty smooth on iOS 15 and I can download most apps on it still,
I wanna try iOS and will probably buy an SE 2 because my dad has an iPhone 7 with 2 quality cases and a first gen SE, if I want to buy a more expensive iPhone, my dad may buy the SE 2 and get a new phone for the first time since 2017 :D
My grandad still uses an iPhone 7 in the matt black colour. He got it used in 2021 and is still using it. I understand he is a very light user however I would like to mention that I looked up the serial number and his iPhone was originally purchased on the 17th of December 2016 and it still has 89% battery health which I think I quite surprising considering how it was mentioned that the battery life on the iPhone 7 isn’t very good.
I barely use mines and I mostly use it just because tbh
I'm still using 7 Plus ..still doing well with 13.51 a bit laggy maybe because I have not updated yet and struggling in memory space
It’s crazy how many things was brought to the iPhone 7 that we have on every iPhone nowadays. And we was mad back then because it has the same design as the past few years and no headphone jack.
Still using the 7+ jet black, works great. Replaced the battery twice, roughly every 3 years. Mainly use it these days to shoot photos (capture moments), record my Strava runs (so light at 188g), and surf the web. This past weekend the battery survived a 26 mile run - fantastic.
I sold my iPhone 14pm due to some financial issues but picked up a 7 plus for cheap. It’s on 15.8, and while it’s not iOS 17, it’s modern enough to not feel out of date. With a new battery I can manage to last all day on a single charge. I have the jet black one and wish Apple would make a new iPhone in this color. The bezels don’t really bother me, and I’m glad to have touchID again. If they had made a iphone SEplus I would have gone with that, but this will do for now.
Hope it gets better for you man, but hey at least you're not phoneless.
Same my iPhone 7 + still my daily driver ❤ since 2016
icl you should have gotten a iphone x at least
Touch ID pad is very convenient!! #iphone 7 here
What about updating app are supporting for more year’s ????
I had one of these as my first phone, my mom had used it for about 5 years prior (It had about 77% battery health) and it was awsome for about id say 6 months, then the Audio IC chip went out, and i couldnt make phone calls. i kept using it until i didnt have my case at school, and dropped it and shattered the screen. i went without a phone for a while, and got a samsung galaxy A12. it worked well for a few months. it had issues reading sim and sd cards, but eventually it stopped displaying, so i went to my brothers old Samsung Galaxy J7, and its honestly working great, but the storage is not enough, i have to reset the phone every few months to keep the apps updated and working. not a huge deal, but christmas is coming up, i hope i get a new iphone, or just a newer android (i do prefer iPhone but both are good). but we will see.
I had an iPhone 7 but boy did that phone heat up. It died real fast too. Unfortunately, same story with the iPhone SE 2020.
Maybe the battery was faulty, my iPhone 7 doesn‘t heat up
@@painz_ytsame (texting this from an iPhone 7) it runs well and it dies actually slowly, and charges quick AF it’s actually reallyyy good-
@@painz_ytlucky
I had the same issue too with the 7 plus..ended up upgraded lol
I'm still using it! I replaced old battery yesterday.
I want to try iOS to see should I switch from my Android phone, and I found an SE 2 for 120$ which I got down to 110, and it feels like an iPhone 7 but it's much better, so I recommend that for people who like the feel of the iPhone 7
i got an SE 2 in 2022 for £50 and it was one of the best deals i ever got. 100% recommend looking out for deals. typing this on a 7.
@@sdbelfort Yeah they scammed me but I'll just get my dad's 7 when he upgrades in a few years
@@mihailoaleksic3330“When he upgrades in a few years“ 😂 That was hilarious
He’s already using an outdated phone ( don’t get me wrong that’s my favorite phone ever ) so what do you want with it in a few years ?
Very interesting and informative video.
Cant wait to get it next year😊
The prices depend on the country you are in, I got iPhone X for 220 USD and there was also SE2 for the same price.
I upgraded from 7 plus to 11 in october and it feels like a day and night..had to upgrade bc some apps need latest ios and it lags and heats too much nowadays
Good review! One thing it can't do is 'Express Transit' which is a NFC function that allows people to get through fare gates at railway stations without unlocking their phones. Only the iPhone 8 and later iPhones can do this. For example the BART train system in San Francisco has mobile version of the Clipper card but not for the iPhone 7.
Oh nice catch! I’m in Brisbane Australia and we have a similar system, so that’s def worth knowing about
I had upgraded from an 8 to an 8 Plus & the extra gig of ram was incredibly useful when wanting to have multiple things open, gaming & helping smoothing out the experience
also games would crash cos the 2GB RAM was limiting it & the small battery was declining in health
This is a video about the iPhone 7. But I do love my 8. I collect iPhones and the 7 and 8 are my favorites.
Had the jet black 7+. Wanted the matte but it wasn’t available day 1 and I wasn’t waiting. Really loved that phone
Is the phone still getting security updates from Apple?
@@user-so6tx1pe4fyes
iPhone 7 Design is still the Best iPhone Design
Hmm does it beat the iPhone X design?
I prefer the 6S. It’s basically the same as an iPhone 7 but it still has a headphone jack.
@@luccian0z15 pro and pro max**
@Omegadoomship
The removal of the headphone jack will forever be a tragedy
@@bacoloop109 Who even uses the headphone jack
Damn I got this recommended after I sold my friend a 7+ for $60 i fixed myself. His S10 and Note 9 both had screens damaged beyond use so I offered him it with a new battery and display included. They still make great backup phones today
I have iphone 7 (which i type now) and galaxy a52. The phone just great but not with the power management and least amount of performance to match 2023's mid-low phone androids. And i love how the 2nd gen Taptic Engine respond to the input (home button virtual click, the 3d touch etc)
Is it still getting security updates?
@@user-so6tx1pe4f it is, even 6s and SE1 got a security update recently.
@@user-so6tx1pe4fyes
@@user-so6tx1pe4fmine got 15.8 not long ago, so i guess its the end of the 7 and 6s
my girlfriend still uses 7 plus since it came out, i used android phones until recently and in that time i swapped 3 android phones and switched to iphone 14. only downside of that is that she bought the 32gb model instead of getting more storage but othervise it works flawlessly
Imagine having a girlfriend and getting free sex. Smh. Couldn’t be me.
Yess my back up phone is the white iPhone 7 I have so many memories on that phone I love it❤
I just brought a iPhone 11 a month ago :))
I broke my main phone which is an iPhone eleven pro, been using this phone for a while with a new battery and 128gb and I feel like I might stay with this phone for a while! Does everything I need it to do.
The new update came just yesterday
15.8
Mine battery backup got increased idk how 😂
Still using it for a second phone (work phone). Only for emails, calls and chats. More than enough, still works like a charm.
I use an iPhone 7. I got it from my daughter when she bought a 12. Charged the battery, the rear camera broke, so I changed that too for a used one.
As for the quality of the camera, as a trained photographer that used to work for a newspaper let me point out to you that most people don’t know how to take a decent photo, and having a gazillion megapixels won’t help them.
Yeah, megapixels actually mean little, 100mp is a marketing trick. It's all about sensor size and lens quality.
@@MrOnion-js1ls is it still getting security updates from Apple?
@@user-so6tx1pe4f yeah, it is. It's crazy how the phone is 7 yo but still has support. I've had my 7 for 4 years already and it's still a pretty capable device although the battery life is not good.
@@MrOnion-js1ls is it possible that Apple still provide security update next year too on the iPhone 7?
@@user-so6tx1pe4f I don't know for sure but it's possible, there are still quite a few people who use 7. Even 6s and SE1 got a security update recently.
Picking up one for a secondary device with 256 gbs
i have an iphone 7, the home button was funtional and touch id few months ago, but afterwards the home button is jammed, touch id problem started too, any chance it will be fixed?
Currently I have an iPhone 12 but in 2 days I’ll have to sell it and buy the 7 (99€), sad to separate myself from the 12 because it’s truly the best iPhone imo but I have to…
Is iPhone 7 still getting security patches in late 2023?
Watching this with my iPhone 7😂
Im still using my jetblack iphone 7 i replaced the battery 3 time throughout its life
I’m using an iPhone 7 right now it’s great.
I just realized that the way the iPhone 7 camera kind of bulges out looks like the headlamps of the old 2002 BMWs from the 1970s. I like that it’s interesting.
Interesting take!
all apps on appstore working on iphone7?
I have upgraded to an 11 but I still use my 7 as a music player and for its age it’s still pretty good, battery is horrible tho..
That's the way to go. I always encourage friends and family to keep their old phone after they upgrade for reasons like how you're using your iPhone 7. Old smart phones are so multifunctional that they can be repurposed as something else. And repurposing your old phone can also contribute to making your new phone's battery last longer because you wouldn't be doing those multimedia things on the new device.
The iPhone 7 camera is surprisingly decent. Sure it doesn't have portrait mode or cinematic mode but its pretty decent colors for it are decent
i still have my iphone 7 for about 4 years. its still going strong. but it kinda sucks, but its still going!
I’m saving for 1
Worked great till this year, now laggy and apps crashing. Just how it goes. Just ordered a Google Pixel Pro 7 for $380
I actually like the design. I like the rounded edges.
If you are doing basic stuff with the phone you should have no problems. I am going to buy one but not planning to download many apps anyway. Just use the ones that come with the phone.
Flawless. Original battery starting to go.😊
Are you still getting software updates for security from Apple?
@@user-so6tx1pe4fit ends at 15.8 :)
@@user-so6tx1pe4f last one few months ago. ios 15.7.8 I upgraded to 15pro for work purpose but I loved 7plus.
can get one with 90% battery for 40-49$, should I buy it?
Go for it
To keep your phone from over heating don’t be on it all day give it a break I’m not addicted to my phone it works 👍
For my wife I got one of these a couple of years ago (a refurb for only $90) and she likes it a lot. I've suggested upgrading to an 11 or 12, but she wants to stick with her 7. Only downside is the battery; mediocre at best.
be a man. get her a new truely new phone
I have the iPhone 7 for music
would this be good as a work phone i have an opportunity to get one for 60$ cad (≈42$usd)
Its better than any budget andriod phone (vivo, vaio, oppo, honor, huawei, htc) or any low end smartphone
I have iPhone 7.Still using as secondary phone,only for calling.Very nice phone and handy.❤
This was my first phone ever 😢
i have iphone 12 and iphone 8 and i really love the iphone 8 more (touch button,3d touch...), but am woried about if the apps will have updates in the ios 16 or nah.
iPhone 8 however didn’t get iOS 17.
It really should have gotten ios 16 hell even the 6s since the ipad 5 with the a9 can run it hell the 7 and 8 and x should be on 17 since the cpu in the 2017 ipad pro is the a10x
I got that same iPhone 7 but I’m using my iPhone 8
So i Need to convince my parents to get me a phone for grade 7 and idk what there gonna say and i was thinking of asking for an i phone 7 since its not too expensive but after i saw this video i might just reconsider but who knows. I really dont want a samsung because i just dont like them.Like i dont care about the camera quality or ram or display or anything like that after i heard him say its stuck in ios 15 that made me think should I really get this? I dont know can sombody tell me whether I should get it or not.
How does iOS work on this
Was using one until I got ,y xs max 2 months ago now
The iPhone 7 was the first phone to record in 4K so the camera was actually 4K
really thin and light, but the 6s is thinner
I got one today
Had the iPhone 7 back in early 2019-2021 til my ex threw it
And broke it and upgraded to the iPhone 11 was a incredible phone just didn’t like that it was so small for my hands n battery life was shitty but still awesome phone
My mother needs a new phone she is 64 and isnt into apps besides some bible trivias and google maps. Mainly she needs for txts and calls. Do you think this would work for the next 2 to 3 years? Wifi calling is a must.
My mother is still using a 5s for simple tasks and it’s still ok. So the 7 should be ok for a little longer provided the battery health is ok.

No
My iphone 7 plus dont lag unless it below 20% (i play codm)
Im on an iphone 7 and i could tell u its fine just overheats alot but problem is it doesnt update anymore to the latest ios but thankfully ill upgrade into the 15 soon but yea the iphone 7 is great but just overheats alot and its very old now its only good if u dont have much and want an iphone
Are you doing a trade in?
@@teqzky nah bro the iphone 7 is worth nothing now so theres no point of a trade in really
@@TheWeekendWarrior490 bro its ok ill get through it
It's a decent phone despite its age but the battery life is crap, have to carry a powerbank all the time.
Are you at least getting security updates even though the iOS version is not getting updated?
Se 2020 better option ✅
Just get a 2020 SE
The 2020 SE truly is the new champ of budget phones. Typing this very comment on my $80 2020 SE 128GB in mint condition right now 😅 BARGAIN! 🎉
@@D45Z yeah you can grab it very cheap these days and it's basically an improved iphone 7 with updates.
Just get the 2020 iPhone SE
how long it will last if you replace with original battery (ios15.8)?
I have it from day 1 and changed 1 time in 2020. ATM is 80 percent of full capacity.
The 8 is ok but don’t buy anything older if you HAVE to buy an old iPhone
I ❤ I phone 7 I have one
i❤my Iphone 7😊
Watching on a matte black 7/128 g :-) with a new battery - nothing 2 whine about
My iPhone 7 stopped finding my service carrier. Plus no helpful apple forums at all. Restoring the phone works for like 2 hours and then it stops. Apple is a money grab to keep purchasing their phones😭
It’s dead at iOS 15.8
I am on i 7+
Me watching this on my iPhone 7
wowowoow
I own one for almost 5 years and I just upgraded because it broke
can you make a video about iphone 13 in 2023-2024 please
if you ask why the 13 and go just buy the 15 yeah true but in my country the basic iphone 15 128 g cost 1200$ and the 13 still cost 800$ that in the small tech shop and if you go to the equvalent of amazon in my country the iphone 13 cost 1000$ and ect...
Will most likely have an iPhone 13 video next year!
The main reason you wouldn’t want to buy an iPhone 7 is,
Because of the value proposition being worse than the iPhone SE 2020 right now.
Also because that chip was known for overheating……
it does overheat
what's the game at 8:22
Smashy road I think
Yep, Smashy road:)
120 dollars usd
this phone is faster than xiaomi 13 lite
the iphone 7 can be jailbroken very very easily nowadays, just putting that out there
It was a great phone at the time, but now its screen is outdated. It only has one camera, the battery life is poor, and it's no longer supported.
click on this to see memories: 12:46
Im still hooked on pixel gun to this day 💀💀
I phone 7 is the best so far
It got 5 years not 6 years😂😂😊
My 7 tells me that its at 100% battery capacity 😅
For how many years did u use it
decent camera bad performance good haptic touch very bad battery perfect aesthetic
Review for the sake of review. Iphone se 2020 is available for same price.
I got iPhone XR 300 dollars in 2023 still better than most Android one of the best Phones
