About the Apple iPhone 7 Plus
The iPhone 7 Plus was Apple's first phone with a dual camera, pairing a wide lens with a 2x optical telephoto for the sort of zoomed-in shots the standard iPhone 7 simply could not manage. Nearly a decade on, it sits firmly in legacy territory: Apple stopped issuing new iOS versions for it after iOS 15, and there is no 5G, no Face ID, and no wireless charging. What it still offers is a genuinely solid build, a bright 5.5-inch LCD screen, and the Home button and 3.5mm-free (but Lightning-equipped) design that a lot of people still find easy to live with. On the UK market today it shows up almost exclusively as a refurbished or used handset, usually on SIM-free or PAYG deals rather than fresh contracts. It makes sense as a cheap backup phone, a first phone for a child, or a stopgap while saving for something newer, but anyone relying on their phone daily should be aware that banking apps and other software are increasingly dropping support for iOS 15 devices. Buy refurbished from a reputable seller with a battery health check, since batteries this old are the most likely point of failure.

Apple iPhone 7 Plus Specifications
Spec Scores
£700-£999 Phones · 85 phones
- Apple A10 Fusion (16 nm)
- Quad-core 2.34 GHz (2x Hurricane + 2x Zephyr)
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.
- 5.5 inches
- 1080 x 1920 pixels
- IPS, 625 nits peak
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.
- Single camera setup
- 12 MP main camera
- 4K video recording
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. Where DXOMARK has lab-tested the phone, its measured score replaces this estimate.
- 7 MP front camera
- 1080p selfie video
Based on the image-processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra and Honor Magic lead on computational processing), sensor resolution in tiers rather than raw megapixels, autofocus, aperture and max selfie-video resolution. Calibrated against DXOMARK's selfie protocol.
- 2,900 mAh
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.
