The iPhone 7 Is Still Awesome

In this video I take an in-depth look at the iPhone 7 in a modern context. The Apple iPhone 7 released back in September of 2016, and was the device that had many firsts for Apple - the iPhone 7 ushered in the no headphone-jack era of smartphones, the first waterproof and dust-proof iPhone, and the first iPhone with stereo speakers. I really enjoyed using this device for the past two weeks as my daily driver, and go over the reasons why in this review.

Still using a black 128GB iPhone 7. It’s doing great!!

As someone who has never had an iPhone 7, I can confirm it's pretty good. Keep up the top-tier content king.

God such a brilliant review!!! Couldn’t do anything else until I watched the whole video, keep it up!!!!

Just got the 7 off the used market. Had the original SE since 2018 - very satisfied with it. Then got the Poco X3 NFC. A month later got the 7 off the used marked and made it my daily driver as well. The Poco has excellent battery but the iPhone has this cool vibe I like lol 😂 Nice video tho.

Nice review! I've had mine since Spring 2018 and think it still runs great, especially after replacing the battery. I thankfully don't experience any crashing with video calls and it generally runs really smoothly. Great phone!

I just bought one cause I'm on a budget and I wanted to see if anyone else had one in 2021. I'm so stoked to see that people do indeed have it in 2021 n are using it. this was a great video I am glad I made my purchase you just reinsured me of my purchase

This is a best long term review I’ve ever seen and that’s coming from someone who owned this phone twice

[sterlingroberts]

First time here, but I must say the quality of this channel is astounding! I hope you get the recognition and growth you've earned!

Just bought a gold 7 for my grandma and she loves it, plus I know software wise she'll be good for at least the next 2 years.

I just bought one a few days ago. It s working amazing ! The type with 128gb and matte black on the back.
The battery drains fastly i can say but is worth.

3D Touch is pressure sensitive so you don’t have to wait when opening secondary menus

I have iPhone 11. To answer your question: this issue is in every iPhone, whether iPhone 7 or iPhone 12
But the thing with iPhone 7 is that it has a metal back so naturally you would feel the heat more.
Nice review, thank you.

I’m still using my 7 after I got it in 2018. Despite it having a short battery life, it’s still pretty good.

[mrlightwriter]

I'm using a black matte 128GB iPhone 7 for the past 3 years and a half, and couldn't be happier!

[ProGamusian]

I upgraded my work number using an iPhone 7 to an iPhone SE. That was a huge upgrade.

[iceiceicedrast]

I have an iPhone 7 currently. I changed the battery, myself; and, 15 min. problem is gone. It could be a simple power related issue. Though, the home button is not working anymore. So, be aware of the problem. On the other hand, the phone works great. Yet, heating or thermal throttling in some cases is pain in the neck.

[crystalthewolf]

The heating up thing in video calls is an issue with EVERY metal backed iPhone, basically if you have something older than an iPhone 8, you're gonna get that heating up and crashing, it's inevitable as the metal has worse heat dissipation than the glass of the newer phones.

Here from Myanmar. I'm using iPhone 7 Plus 128 GB Jet Black since 2016 and the device is still rocking today. Damn Good. Apple is famous for a reason. I think it will still OK for use at least 3 to 4 years to come.

im watching on my iphone 7. got it when i was 16 & im now 21. i love how light & thin it is, touch id, home button & that it has an aluminium back!! ive dropped my phone countless times over the years and i have never ever used a case. i need an upgrade bc of my battery and the camera, but the new glass back is the stupidest thing they couldve ever thought of - although it makes them a whole lot of money.
