Apple iPhone 7 review

iPhone 7 review

 

Our Verdict

If you're going to buy a new iPhone, this is the one to get – there's slightly longer battery life, a better camera, fast innards and protection against water. However, many of the changes are slight, and the iPhone 6S, for the lower price, suddenly becomes a very attractive option.

For

• Good low light camera
• Water resistant
• Double the internal capacity

Against

• Lacks clear upgrades
• Same design used for last three phones
• Battery life better but unimpressive 

• Launched on September 16
• Price for 32GB starts at $649 (£599, AU$1,079)
• Cheaper than iPhone 7 Plus by $120 (£120, AU$150)

The iPhone 7 price starts at $649 (£599, AU$1,079) for the 32GB model. If you fancy upping your storage to 128GB you'll need to shell out $749 (£699, AU$1,229) – which is the same cost as the 64GB iPhone 6S when it launched.
Power users, meanwhile, will want to check out the $849 (£799, AU$1,379) iPhone 7 with an iPhone-first 256GB of storage, giving you masses of storage space.
The iPhone 7 inherits the same pricing structure as the iPhone 6S when it launched back in September 2015 – at least in the US and Australia it does; for those in the UK the aftershocks of Brexit are being felt, with a £60 price hike for the iPhone 7 over the 6S.
