Lack of headphone (3.5mm) jack does my head in – I’ve had iPhones 3, 4S, 6S and now 7 The lack of headphone jack creates some problems: 1. You can’t listen with any of your existing headphones unless you use an adaptor 2. Although an adaptor is supplied, it is easy to lose because you may have to disconnect it to listen with your headphones on other devices 3. You may need to buy additional… Read more

adaptors (e.g. for in the car) 4. You cannot charge and listen at the same time because it uses the same slot 5. The logical progression is to get Bluetooth headphones but they’re just something else that you need to charge!

No idea why my original review was postponed for so many years, possibly not relevant anymore! have touched it up now so my original effort wasn’t wasted.

Ridiculous, useless phone – I have had the worst experience with this phone. I do not recommend it to anyone. I am guessing the majority of the positive reviews are from new users. In less than 6 months, this phone had ran out of it’s 32 gb of data, 25 gb taken up by the phone’s own data storage, with no way for me to recover it except to reset my phone. I need to do this… Read more

every couple of weeks to be able to use the basics on this phone, and I need to delete/offload apps, photos, safari history on a daily basis. I can not store photos on the phone, and can have a maximum of 5 apps on my phone at once if I am lucky. Look on any of the support forums and you will see it is a common problem. The battery life is also now useless, not even 18 months since purchasing. Absolutely useless phone. Apple should concentrate on getting the basics right, instead of designing phones with a ridiculous amount of setting choices that the majority of people don’t need or want. Beyond frustrated and annoyed.

Nice but not perfect – Everything is clearly tailored, no complaints about the assembly, all materials are of high quality, it is pleasant to hold the device in hands. I have an Iphone in Black matte color, if the prints remain, then only barely noticeable. A touchscreen is the best among smartphones. Oleophobic coating quality, using the device without film. Stereo… Read more

speakers play purely at any volume level, compared to the Iphone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, the sound is much higher. The photos are of high quality, stabilization when shooting video, it works fine, but there are small noises in low light, but I am afraid that any smartphone will have them. Touch ID generally works well. But if the finger is a little wet, not wet, namely wet, you have to enter the password manually, so I’ll take this to a fault. The absence of 3.5 jack does not bother me. In the car I listen to music exclusively via Bluetooth. As for the simultaneous charging of the phone and listening to music through headphones, there is a finite cant, but I do not consider this a disadvantage

iPhone – Good day to all friends, I will tell you about the purchase of an iPhone 7. Before it, I used apple products more than once, the very first iPhone was 4 (at that time there were no competitors), then 5 s, I also liked it very much, did not hold the phone in my hand more comfortable , and bought him a replacement 7. I chose a long time, the color… Read more

was definitely only black, but I could not decide on models 7 and 8, adding all the pros and cons, it was decided to take the seven, firstly cheaper, well, that’s not the main thing, secondly iPhone 8 headphones are not included, you need to buy extra, cost about $ 200, not cheap, well, I'm sure on 100 that they will justify this price, well, I was not ready to pay extra. I took another 8 plus in my direction by wireless charging, this is a fat plus, well, I will live without it! Everything else they have about the same, even the appearance is not different! So here you are my seven. Included everything as usual in iPhones stylish box. Vney headphones, adapter for headphones and ayx, charger unit with usb wire, key for sim card and that's it. So you can talk a lot, well, I will say about the most noticeable change for me after 5s. The screen has become much larger, which allows us to watch all kinds of movies without straining the eyes, a very good image quality, the sound has become more spacious and loud, it is very pleasant to listen, it looks more stylish in one color, with a glass cover. Waterproof, I did not try, I read a lot, in any case it’s not scary to get under the rain, the home button became touch-sensitive, and when you touch it it gives the sensation of depression, the sound of vibration! The camera has become much better, 4k format has appeared when recording video clips, as well the IPhone 7 is now equipped with a quad core processor that allows it to work as it should!

My partner is still ecstatic about his refurbished phone – My partner still loves his refurbished phone. Very happy. I was hesitant in buying a refurbished phone for him after his phone died and thought I’d give it a try. He is still loving it and I’m grateful that I didn’t have to fork out a fortune. Show details

Awesome Price – I had buy a Preowned apple 7 12GB with 3 months warranty from Life Mobile at a low cost. Happy with this phone in this pandemic situation. Really good service they provided after I order in Online. I received the phone on time as they told about the phone condition.

Awful. Very disappointing – Less battery life than the iPhone 6 and frequent failure to load webpages. Reception is dodgy and even the Apple store tech person thinks this phone is a piece of junk. Next phone will not be an Apple. Massive fail. Show details

Average for an apple product – I bought this product not that long ago because of the price and I wasnt wanting to pay $1500+ just for the new apple iphone. But I am skeptical as its only been a few months and its already not very responsive and I am wondering just how long this phone will last! Show details

Great and cheap as they are clearing stock – The IPhone 7s is great. I have had two of these IPhone 7’s now as they much cheaper then the newer models and still have great features! I got the 128g one this time as it was only $599 which is half the price of the new phones. I’ve never had any issues with Apple and will continue using iPhones. Show details

Good phone...but time to upgrade soon – My wife had an iPhone 6 - but she needed more storage. Thought it best that we stay with Apple, as she was to keen to have to learn to use an Android. We got the 128gb model with was a big step on her old phone's miserly 16gb ! So far no problems. And she has so, so many photos stored on it Show details

A GREAT PHONE – I have had my i Phone 7 for about 15 months now and it is a brilliant device - it was a Xmas present is 2018. It doesn't matter whether I am using it as a phone or as a text message device or as an access point to the internet - it never fails me. I have no idea why such a good and reliable device has been superseded. Lets hope this one is around for a while. Show details

thank god its discontinued – Picked this one because of its size, which is great but have had nothing but problems. Goes offline for no reason, phone cuts off without warning and it is the only device in the house that is constantly playing up. Im not tech savvy but given my sons iPhone 8 works without any issues, its a disappointing buy. Show details

The Best iPhone Yet ! – This phone, is the perfect size. One of the last with a home button, is water resistant, comfortable to hold and not too heavy. Plus the improved home button is sealed and reactive. Perfect Apple phone, they will go back to making them like this as soon as everyone comes to their senses. Free on Telstra 12month $65 plan (due to $500JB cashback offer) and just paid $100 upfront to upgrade from 32GB to 128GB. Show details

Love this phone – I went straight from an iPhone 5 to a 7 and am so glad I did. I've so far had zero issues with it, it still looks and acts brand new. I find the lack of headphone jack extremely annoying as I use my headphones a lot during the day. This is the only downside. I really like this model and probably won't upgrade for some time.  Show details

So much wrong – I uploaded a credit card to Apple Pay after encouragement from my bank. Tried to use it with no luck over the last 2 months. Went to the local NAB 2 days ago and after deleting and reloading the card we determined it was a phone issue. After trying to book a Genius Bar appointment on line only to find I couldn't I went to My Mac and got… Read more

instructions on how to backup and reload the phone after they did a diagnostic check and found no issues. Just in case removing iTunes would create a problem I rang the Apple help desk. After spending 4+ hours yesterday (Philippines, NZ, Sydney, NZ) removing and reloading iTunes from my pc, testing multiple plugs (iTunes on my pc won't recognise my phone) reloading software, testing the phone and finding there was nothing wrong with the phone software I went out and tested the phone again. no luck. The team finally arranged an appointment at the Genius Bar where I discussed Apple Pay, non auto uploads of ios updates even though it is turned on, can't transfer videos via cable consistently, my iTunes issue and crappy sound sometimes where people can't hear me. They suggested the glass had been replaced and that is why the fingerprint scanner wouldn't work for Apple Pay but it works for phone access so I don't believe that. Cost of a new glass $259 but they won't guarantee that will solve the Apple Pay issue. Their final suggested solution was simple = basically buy a new Apple phone. That won't be happening because I am sick of their drop in service. Android next.
