Apple iPhone 7 - 4G smartphone 32 GB - LCD display - 4.7" - 1334 x 750 pixels - rear camera 12 MP - front camera 7 MP - black

I bought this to replace an identical 6S that had broken. The phone arrived in great condition but…. The battery is truly AWEFUL. The battery health was at 82%. Which is to be expected from an older phone. However the phone it replaced, an exact same model and age, had reported a 75% battery health. The older phone could run for a good 6-8 hours of active use before dying. This refurbished phone, with the better battery health, dumps its entire charge in a whopping 30 minutes. The T-Mobile rep activating my phone was stunned while he watched in real time as the phone went from 63% to 33% to DEAD in the course of about 3 minutes. And this was after a full 12 hours of uninterrupted charging. This was while it did nothing but have messages open, no other apps on, with ... MoreI bought this to replace an identical 6S that had broken. The phone arrived in great condition but….

Either this company tampered with the original battery to display fake health values, or they replaced the original battery with a significantly inferior one likely not rated for this phones normal power needs. Either way it was an enormous disappointment that is literally pushing me to just go and buy a new phone just to not have to deal with bad refurbishment companies ever again.

bought my IPhone 7 a little over a year ago and still have it! I bought it at Wal-Mart on sale for $189.00 and was impressed with from the start. There where a few things things that were different from previous models that I had to get use too, ( no speaker jack and home button was obviously a little different ) But, there where also huge improvements that I really enjoyed and that was the camera was better which meant better pictures and overall Quality! Also, the iPhone 7 was water resistant which was something new to the IPhone and great for a klutz like me! They also improved on their speakers including a second speaker I believe in the earpiece. I thought is was nice of Apple to include their signature AirPods even though the phone didn’t include a speaker ... Morebought my IPhone 7 a little over a year ago and still have it!

I love IPhones, always will, and definitely Recommend any one of them!

DO NOT BUY! I broke my phone a few months ago and it was rendered completely unusable , I couldn’t be without a phone and didn’t have the money to buy a brand new one. I came across this seller who had IPhone 7’s in my price range. In the description it says the phone is UNLOCKED which is why I bought it , it arrived locked and several things missing from my package. I am now paying for cell service with Verizon I can’t use because I can’t put my SIM card into this phone and I haven’t payed off my phone I bought through them so I’m back to square one. No useable phone unless I’m on WiFi all because of this sellers misleading title. I can’t even return the phone because then I’ll really be left with nothing. DO NOT waste your time , you will be incredibly ... MoreDO NOT BUY!

A great first iPhone

I got my iPhone 7 in late 2017 and I loved it, I was very surprised that it was still running the latest iOS version 3 years later when I got the iPhone 12 Pro. The design is very good, the durability is good, the display isn't really that good in 2022 now, but it was in 2016, 2017. The battery life and charging were ok, i had to charge it 2-4 times a day as it only had a 1960 mAh battery, as for the cameras, I was very surprised by the cameras, it can record at up to 4K @ 30fps, but its not that good and uses a lot of space, I would recommend to put it on 1080p @ 30 or 60. Now, that brings us to storage and power. The storage is decent as it only goes up to 256GB, the power is very good for its time, as it gets 721 Single-Core Score and a 1277 Multi-Core Score, ... MoreI got my iPhone 7 in late 2017 and I loved it, I was very surprised that it was still running the latest iOS version 3 years later when I got the iPhone 12 Pro.

The storage is decent as it only goes up to 256GB, the power is very good for its time, as it gets 721 Single-Core Score and a 1277 Multi-Core Score, its on par with the performance of the OnePlus 7T series from 2019. The OnePlus 7T gets a 724 Single-Core Score and a 2526 Multi-Core Score, which. the multi-core score is significantly ahead and 3 years newer goes to show that iPhones are roughly 3 years ahead in terms of performance. So that wraps up my review for the iPhone 7.

Alerting customers.

At first when i got this phone set up it was great and awesome. but in 60 days the phone became garbage. it shows no sim card on the screen and does not let you share hotspot with you tablet or laptop. truely this costs way to much money and the fact it does not offer hotspot or 5g makes it a problem. i would recommend getting a android tacphone instead and don't waste your money on this piece of trash. Instead get this phone instead and get it activated. don't bother with apple. it sucks a lot and i am running out of room for my pictures and videos. with a android phone you can buy a micro sd card for it and share hotspot with your laptop or tablet. it addition to that tracphone wireless said ths android phone will offer 5g compared to 4g speed. so it like doing ... MoreAt first when i got this phone set up it was great and awesome. but in 60 days the phone became garbage. it shows no sim card on the screen and does not let you share hotspot with you tablet or laptop. truely this costs way to much money and the fact it does not offer hotspot or 5g makes it a problem. i would recommend getting a android tacphone instead and don't waste your money on this piece of trash.

Me personally i am going to save my money and get the android phone.https://www.walmart.com/ip/Tracfone-Motorola-Moto-E-32GB-Blue-Prepaid-Smartphone/195485864

My first Iphone turned out to be a winner!

At first I wanted the slightly more expensive SE medel but could not get the price any lower so I went with this iPhone 7 model. My concern that it would not be updated to OS15 proved unwarranted. The phone arrived with OS 14.7 and updated to 14.8 at which time an offer to update to 15 showed up. I only bought an iPhone to use Facetime with a relative in a distant nursing home, and to keep in touch with a few relatives that own iPhones and are not savvy enough to use other video apps. My daily driver is a Galaxy Note rooted and running a variant of Android. It took several hours to familiarize myself with the new OS, update, configure, set things to my liking. Never having used IOS in the past it wasn't as difficult as I had imagined to get familiar with it.

Never having used IOS in the past it wasn't as difficult as I had imagined to get familiar with it. The 7 is about half the size of my old Note so I must use reading glasses (senior citizen here) all the time with it. It seems zippy enough with the current OS, another worry that I had was it being bogged down. Since it's not to be a daily driver I have not put cell service on it yet, no need since we will just use it on WiFI for Factime and to fool around with the OS a bit. Google Voice makes it a great WiFI phone. Video plays well, it paired with my blutooth headphones quickly, phone call audio sounds good, Factime is certainly easy enough to use. No complaints so far. If you are looking for your first cellphone and don't plan to load it up with a ton of files and apps, this might be for you. If you wish to try iPhone, this is the cheapest way in right now especially with Net10's additional discount driving the cost down to $134 plus tax, and a $20 card. Accessories for vintage iPhones are cheap enough on Walfart or Amazona's websites. Have no fear....Dive in!

Potential bias from using a non-virgin iphone 7.

My iphone 7 had quite a history. Before I got it, it had its screen replaced (without being programmed with the silly serial number. THANKS APPLE) and god knows what else.It was a big upgrade over my zte z793c! That was a really low end phone with a heavily locked bootloader (because tracfone) running android kitkat, so the jump to a more powerful phone with a more modern operating system was great!Battery life was poor when I got it due to it being used. With it still being crap even with the replacement battery in it.My experience would of definitely been a lot better if the phone hadn't been messed around with before I got my hands on it. Overall, decent phone.Oh, also, "checkra1n"! Its a bootrom exploit and basically means the phone can always be ... MoreMy iphone 7 had quite a history.

There's also some other custom operating systems for the phone like android and postmarketos!Do make sure your phone has an oem screen though, android doesn't have functioning touch due to the screen being a replacement.

iPhone 7 unlocked

My 13 year old really wanted a iPhone but she is hard on electronics so we started her off with this 7. I couldn’t have asked for a better deal. We paid $135 with taxes. We chose one that stated it was in excellent condition and it did not disappoint. There aren’t any flaws that I can see on this phone. Activation to our provider was smooth so it truly was unlocked. We expected to only receive the phone but there was a case, lightening charger, and a stand within the box. This was a good deal.The only issue we may have is that the phone gets extremely hot after only a few moments of using.I will be recommending this site to my friends and family. Thanks for making my daughters birthday a success

iPhone that Rattles Inside

Always read the reviews. I got a bit hosed with this one. I currently have an iPhone 7 32gb which is pretty much maxed out. I need to get a new phone sometime & figured to give Best Buy a try. I had bought a refurbished iPhone 8 for my mom & her’s is pretty good. Her power outlet is a little dented but the rest of the phone works & looks very new. I didn’t have as good luck for me.This phone seemed good. Appearance wise it’s nearly perfect. I was a little annoyed that the phone came completely dead. My mom’s had some charge to it I think. Back to mine. The screen had a few light scratches. But, there no major damage to be worried about. The cosmetic parts that get me worried are this black rubber in the SIM card holder & some black film or something around the ... MoreAlways read the reviews. I got a bit hosed with this one.

Back to mine. The screen had a few light scratches. But, there no major damage to be worried about. The cosmetic parts that get me worried are this black rubber in the SIM card holder & some black film or something around the volume & power buttons. They also give you an off brand charger & lighting usb cord. The brand name on the wrappers were ADURO.The major scare off was when I heard something rattling inside the phone. Pretty sure nothing should be loose in a phone. It feels like a heavy block near the top, under the back camera, isn’t secure. I’m not about to use a busted phone. Lesson learned the hard way.I won’t be using Best Buy for used phones. I’m going with my gut instead & saving up for the new iPhone SE. I just gotta free up space on my original until I can get another.I’m returning it today. Fingers crossed!

not a scam for once; not half bad

For 120 dollars (using a promo code) i got a decent phone with no noticeable blemishes on the front and a few scratches on the back. Battery health isn’t as bad as i expected it to be, and everything runs flawlessy. One small critique i have is that the back is covered in what appears to be sticker residue, but no matter how much elbow grease (and goo gone) i use, it wouldn’t come off. However, this small detail is nearly undetectable with a case on, even a clear one like the one I have. Having to remove the sticker off the back was annoying as well, but it left little to no residue. All in all i had a overwhelmingly positive experience shopping with plug; their eco-friendly options aren’t even close to synonymous with “bad.” I probably will be shopping from them ... MoreFor 120 dollars (using a promo code) i got a decent phone with no noticeable blemishes on the front and a few scratches on the back.
