The iPhone 7 was released in September 2016 and Apple made some very big changes to this device despite keeping the same footprint and size as the iPhone 6 base model series. Not only did they move from a physical home button to one that works based on haptic feedback, but they totally removed the 3.5mm head phone jack and introduced the lightning port as your main method for both charging and using headphones.
As of 2021, this is one of the best value Apple phones that still supports iOS 14 updates and security features. It not only is available in 32GB and 128GB storage capacities, but is the first iPhone to boast 256GB storage options.
These iPhone 7 devices are fully tested for all functions - Touch ID, front camera, back camera, Bluetooth, WiFi, speaker/microphone etc and backed by a one year warranty and a lifetime IMEI guarantee. You'll never wake up to a blacklisted device or end up getting no signal out of the blue like you would if you got a random device off Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji or
Battery Health is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90%*, and all devices are backed by a 90 day warranty which covers physical hardware or software defects, but not accidental damage (Water damage, drops, etc.) We'd recommend Bounce coverage to make sure your next two broken screens don't cost more than $0.
*Batteries under 90% will be replaced with third party units. In X series and up battery replacements will show as Service in the settings, this is due to apple serializing their own batteries. This has no affect on the phone itself, it will still function as normal. There is no way around this without having AppleCare+
