Hello, I am the owner of IPhone 7. I want tell you my experience that I had with this phone for 2 years.
So, let’s start with just how cheap did this phone become. For me it had a price of 50$. And I wanted to try it. And I did not expect it to be very good. Really.
But the phone came with good results. Let me tell you the good and then the bad of the IPhone 7.
The Good:
1: Fast Chipset. The Apple A10 Fusion is still freaking good. It is very good for multitasking and games. It has 4 cores, two performance cores and two efficiency cores. When I tried some popular games, I thought it would be bad because of how old this phone is. (2016) But, it is just good! Also, the phone is still supported with IOS 15.
2: Cameras. The cameras are a little upgrade from IPhone 6s to 7. They both can record 4k at 30 frames per second, but for me, images on IPhone 7 are a bit more detailed, and more colourful. And the Selfie camera for me is an improvement from IPhone 6s.
3: Water-resistance of IP67 rating. This phone is water-resistant with the rating of IP67. It is the first ever water-resistant IPhone. But that doesn’t mean that you should throw it into the water. You can still damage the phone with liquids, but also have less damage than non water-resistant phones. It has survived a heavy rain with no damage at all.
Also, the flashlight is amazing.
And this phone has an aluminium chassis, which is made of aluminium 9000 series as I remember.
5: Stereo speakers. This phone in my opinion is also the first ever IPhone to have full stereo speakers. They are just so good.
6: Compact body. I like compact phones because they are small, which means you can quiet easily fit them into your pockets, unlike the big phones. And so, this IPhone has a compact body, which is for me it is FREAKING GOOD.
Now let’s see what kind of “bad” things this IPhone has.
1: Battery. The 1940 mah battery was good back in the days when the IPhone 7 launched. But now, it’s rubbish. When I am having a call for 5 minutes, it takes away around 10% of my battery. When I am playing some games for 5-10 minutes, it takes away 20% or more of my battery, especially you could see an impact of battery percentage when playing heavy games.
2: Overheating. The IPhone 7 has overheating issue, which can seriously damage battery. Also, this issue can interrupt your gaming.
3: Sometimes you cannot change the screen brightness higher than 35%. It is a really bad issue as for someone, who uses it for gaming, but also for a daily use.
Verdict: The IPhone 7 is an average budget phone. It has a quiet powerful chipset, good cameras (better than my Samsung A10s), and a good screen, but it has the worst battery life I’ve ever had with phones, and it overheats very often. Overall, it is an average budget phone.
And that’s it. This is my full experience with the IPhone 7. Hope that will help you out and have a nice day!

Even after 2 repairs, this iphone7 continually drops the audio on calls.Note: it does not drop the connection, just the audio. This is an annoying issue because even trying to interrupt the callee, the 7 doesn't pick up my voice. Speaker or speakerphone, display on for 'after 2 minutes' or display on 'never [disappear]', waste of money. iOS15.2. Hardly use it like most people but still, what good is a phone if you cannot make calls and to speak?
It's great if you get a call from someone you do not care to converse with, like an 'ex'. They can talk all day...

And same here, your endurance rating is bogus. Why it is LOWER than the 6s, albeit having a bigger battery (1715->1960mAh) and better A10? In all tests the 7 lasts about 1-2hrs longer DoT. Please fix it. Btw, I had good experiences with my 7 from 2018-2021, never let me down. But now happy with the 12 Mini, ironically a HUGE step forward in every aspect.

While calling or receiving calls, the speaker seems inactive. Thus I can’t hear anything from both ends. What could be the challenge

removing the audio jack? hmm I'd prefer they hadn't done that but then again Apple is full of surprises. In terms of camera, I must say Huawei P30 PRO is the phone for it.
