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 I haven’t noticed much lag or anything on apps, despite the outdated processor, I guess because iOS is so efficient.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.

No problem! Always happy to help Also, if you don’t want to replace your battery, a good portable charger might be 20-30 dollars, however it will be more weight to carry around.

Planned obsolescence comment is on point. I’m also sticking with my phone until the rest of its hardware actually breaks. It keeps up with anything not absurdly processing intensive, so I see no reason to replace it lol Hopefully with a bit of luck your phone will last a couple more years, by then an upgrade to an SE or something won’t be too expensive anymore

Hi! I’m a fellow iPhone 7 user. The battery is usually meant to be replaced several times over the course of the phones lifetime, has it been replaced before? Is the battery the only component that needs to be replaced? For me, the rest of the hardware works perfectly fine and I don’t care too much about discontinuation of apple support. If this is your first time replacing your battery I would think it’s worth it, however if you want to get a new phone you should definitely get an SE, as they are the same size and weight

Idk why you got downvoted, this is the correct answer. I used a shortcut automation to turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi upon exiting airplane mode, so I could easily turn off Bluetooth or Wi-Fi by toggling airplane mode. That being said, I almost always have Bluetooth off, because I never use it.
