For your usage a 7 is still a very good phone, but if it is not urgent, I would wait a bit for the SE2.
Current iPhones have so many more bells and whistles as well as greatly improved battery life. and a terrific Camera
Only nice feature of the iPhone 7 is how thin it was but overall the iPhone 7 is an antique speed wise and everything else
No I would not by an iPhone 7
Yeah, I know Safari by itself isn't an accurate indication. But I was comparing to doing the same thing on the same phone half a year or a year ago. Or comparing to my 11" iPad Pro. The iPhone 7 just isn't a very fast phone anymore. And that's just browsing sites like these that aren't very heavy. But if you're using it mainly as a phone with some occasional browsing, it's definitely good enough.Comparatively to what? Safari and how iOS operates are usually separate entities. Just because Safari might seem like it lags, doesn’t mean iOS performs on the same level, it probably depends what you’re actually using Safari for in retrospect.
Hmm, I'm not too fond of any refurbished iPhones that don't come straight from Apple. Too many cheap fake parts out there that you wouldn't know, and you definitely lose any water protection seal (no guarantees). For Apple products, I'd prefer buying straight from Apple or its official resellers.Hi, I’m currently using an SE and was thinking to buy the new SE in April, if there is any...
But today i read that in my country a huge supermarket chain will sell refurbished 7 (32gb, only original Apple parts were used) with 2 year Guarantee on top for 289€.
I just use my SE for pictures (the quality is enough for me), Whatsapp, browsing and email.
So compared with a iphone SE2 i would save 200€. I read that the 7 will get ios14 too, so it should last a while.
Is there anything i am missing or is this a good choice if i don’t need up to date hardware?
I'd go with a iPhone 8 onwards to be honest
Well I'm certainly very happy with my 8+ that I purchased nearly 7 months ago. Super good phone with features I prefer (home button, bezels, 16:9 aspect ratio LCD display, rotatable home screen, and True Tone). Holds up really well for 2020. The 8 is just a somewhat smaller screen version so it too should also hold up really well.I'd go with a iPhone 8 onwards to be honest
