The long wait for X had me looking at the used 7+ market in my area. Found a Verizon model A1661 Product Red 7+ 128 G for $500, in excellent condition. Owners getting an 8+ this Friday. Should I jump on it? My 6S+ battery is dying, the potential availability and first year glitches of the X scare me a bit, a cheap 7+ for now then jump to the 2nd year X would not be a bad idea. What do you guys think?
Got a tip for us?

Would you buy an iPhone 7 Plus now of prices right?

Yes I would. 7 Plus is still an awesome device. Fast and great camera. And the Product Red was discontinued so you can’t get it from Apple anymore.
Either this or if you really want a new phone then just buy it. I’m looking for one as well. I’m on 6 at the moment.
Absolutely it is. I know some think it's not much of an upgrade from the 6S, but with the stereo speakers, dual camera and excellent battery life with a 7+, those features alone are worth it for me.
I would personally not spend more than $400 on any used smartphone. I'd rather buy a new one if I can. You're also buying a used phone and you don't know what the performance of that battery is. I would replace the 6S+ battery and save the $500 for next year's iPhone X.
Could be potentially longer than 37 days depending on when you actually receive the iPhone X.
