iPhone7 - Any Good Please?
My Wife has the iPhone 6 on contract that has now ended. I have the iPhone 5 as I get the hand me downs!
The 5 is playing up a bit so we need to do something. Now why my Wife has a phone I dont know but we wont go there - she makes about 2 calls a month. I have a SIM only deal and that is fine for me but I want some opinions on the 7 please. Is it good or should I wait for the 8 like my Son is and in the interim go onto a SIM only contract for her?

I am waiting. I have an i phone 6s and was thinking of going to the 7 but when I went into the store they explained there wasn't much difference between the 2 and to wait for the 8 (or X or whatever it will be called) as there will be bigger differences ie wireless charging

The IPhone 7 is very much the same as the 6.
I would personally wait for the 8 because there is so much talk of it being a lot different. release dates are usually around September. Edited at 12:04 PM. |

Personally I would wait and see what the 8 is like first and then if nothing else the 7 will be cheaper 😬

I have the 7 plus, I've had all the iPhones. There's a lot of difference from the 5 to the 7, but not too much from the 6 to the 7. I'd wait for the 8 if it was me but rumours are it will be quite expensive.

I have a 7 plus at the moment. I like it and there are a few differences from the 6 but it depends what you use the phone for whether these will be noticeable (Live Photos for example). I would wait until the 8 has been announced as it should only be a few months away. There are also rumours of a 7s being released at the same time since it is a 10 year anniversary this year.
What are the issues with the 5? It may be possible to sort these out on the short term until the new phone is released. |

Hi. Battery life is extremely limited now. I can take it from fully charged to zero in a Park in about 5 hours using the WDW App. Now thats not an issue as I also carry my Wifes phone as she wont carry anything.
Also for no reason it can lose all power in a few minutes when not in use but fully charged! Not often but it does happen. I intend to do something this week as now her contract has ended I am not paying top dollar for a few phone calls! I pay £9 a month for SIM only, unlimited calls and messages and a bit of data. My Son haggled with EE and got the same deal as me but with 4GB of data which suits him until the 8 comes out. Decisions decisions! I suspect I will go down the SIM only route but I am researching like mad!

Ah I had that issue as well. Sometimes resetting the phone to factory settings then redownloading your apps and photos etc from the cloud/computer helps if there is an issue in the software but it probably won't improve massively due to the phones age. Apple will replace the battery but it costs about £87.
I have a sim only contract with three and then got the phone on the refresh scheme with Apple so can replace the phone every year and it's fully covered with AppleCare but I use mine a lot for work. |
