I did. The iPhone 14 pro max is night and day compared to 7

Yeah I know my Mrs has one but they're soo big. I had 13promax and didn't get comfy with it so switched to Samsung now can get iphone 7 with 97% battery and 128gb for £25 so I'm trying to convince my self it's worth it lol

I mean at £25 it’s better than nothing, but all iOS updates have stopped for it and in a year or two it won’t run many apps (and it’ll struggle to do so now)

Yeah it's only a bit of a stopgap to be fair while I decide whether to go iphone 15 or samsung s23ultra

My brother does. When he got it he promised to use it for five years. Five and a half year later, his home button died. He's still rocking it and will mostly switch to 15+ if it comes out.

This is what I need to hear lol

I’m typing this on my iPhone 7. It’s overall in good shape. I replaced the screen after it pretty much completely shattered after being dropped. The frame has a few very minor scratches in the paint, but visually still looks great. It’s my first phone, it was originally my mother’s but after she dropped it and broke the screen she upgraded to 13 mini, and I repaired the screen. I’m planning to keep using it until it breaks to the point that it’s unusable. The home button is a little finicky and clicks even with light pressure sometimes, but I don’t mind. I haven’t noticed much lag or anything on apps, despite the outdated processor, I guess because iOS is so efficient. I love that the phone is small. I also frankly prefer Touch ID. I recently jailbroke it which has been another fun rabbit hole to go down! I’m definitely going to be keeping this phone for a while.

Thanks for the answer

How long you planning to keep it? Also how long do you think apps will still run on it ?

I use my iPhone 7 as a secondary phone to my Android. It still runs perfectly fine and I’m very reluctant to upgrade or buy a new phone.

Currently typing this on a 7. All of a sudden im not able to load web pages- saying “a problem has repeatedly occurred.” And to say; the phones antenna actually went out but it was a recall so I shipped it off and got the antenna replaced, cleaned, and the battery replaced.

A year later and it’s acting slow as molasses. Im currently debating on upgrading to the newest IOS because I don’t want it to potentially make this phone unusable
