Apple iPhone 7 - Review

Released in 2016, the iPhone 7 marked a turning point for Apple’s smartphone lineup. While it retained the familiar design language of its predecessors, it brought a wave of subtle yet significant upgrades. The phone sported a premium aluminum chassis, now water and dust-resistant, making it a sturdier companion. The biggest visual shift came in the form of color options. iPhone 7 introduced a sleek matte black finish alongside the classic silver, gold, and rose gold, and a particularly eye-catching jet black model (though this one was prone to scratches).

The display remained a brilliant 4.7-inch Retina HD LCD, offering vivid colors and sharp visuals. Under the hood, the phone packed the powerful A10 Fusion chip, delivering a noticeable performance boost over previous iPhones. This translated to smoother multitasking, faster app loading, and a more responsive user experience overall.

The camera system received a significant overhaul. The rear sported a 12-megapixel sensor with improved low-light performance and optical image stabilization. It captured stunning photos and offered 4K video recording capabilities, a first for the iPhone line. The front-facing camera also got a bump to 7 megapixels, making selfies and video calls sharper than ever. One controversial change was the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack. Apple argued this move allowed for a thinner design and better water resistance. While it did force some users to adapt with wireless headphones or a Lightning-to-3.5mm jack adapter, it also paved the way for the future dominance of wireless audio.

The iPhone 7 wasn’t a revolutionary leap, but it refined a successful formula. It offered a perfect blend of familiarity and innovation, making it a reliable and powerful phone for its time. Even in 2024, it can still be a compelling choice for those seeking a classic iPhone experience at a more affordable price point, especially on the used market. However, for those seeking the latest features and top-tier performance, newer iPhone models would be a better fit.
