Buy the Apple iPhone 7 refurbished SIM-free from £49.00 at Grade Mobile.
The iPhone 7 marked the point where Apple's iPhones became genuinely durable everyday devices, introducing IP67 water and dust resistance for the first time alongside a faster A10 Fusion chip that still feels reasonably responsive for basic tasks today. Nearly a decade on, it is best understood as a very cheap used or refurbished option rather than a phone anyone should buy new. The 4.7-inch display and 138g weight keep it compact and easy to use one-handed, which some buyers now actively prefer over today's larger flagships. Its most controversial change at launch, the removal of the headphone jack in favour of Lightning-only audio, is now standard across the smartphone industry, so it feels far less jarring in hindsight. The single 12MP camera takes solid photos in daylight but lacks the low-light processing and multiple lenses of later iPhones. Software is the real limiting factor: it is capped at iOS 15 and can no longer run many current apps. This phone suits buyers after the cheapest possible working iPhone with decent durability, not anyone wanting a modern app experience or camera performance.

Based on calibrated CPU benchmark rankings (60%) and GFXBench GPU scores (40%). Apple chipsets included via editorial calibration since AnTuTu under-represents Apple's architecture.
Based on panel type (LTPO is the modern flagship gold standard), resolution, refresh rate, peak brightness, screen size, and HDR10+ / Dolby Vision support. Marketing peak-brightness claims are capped at 3500 nits to prevent inflation.
Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality.
Based on selfie megapixels and max selfie-video resolution.
Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
