A real head-turner from Apple which cemented the popularity of the bigger screen. Two top quality cameras, a smooth and fluid interface, and on release, Apple’s longest ever battery meant this was more than just a big display.
What's the difference between a refurbished iPhone 7 Plus and a brand-new model?
A refurbished phone is an unwanted handset that has been returned to a mobile supplier or network for whatever reason - possibly due to a fault or the owner simply changed their mind. If it’s refurbished, it means the phone has been restored to its factory settings and given a thorough maintenance check and repair.
You can also vary the balance between your monthly fee and any upfront cost.
Why choose a second-hand model over a brand-new handset?
Brilliantly, there are a number of reasons why a refurbished handset might be the best choice for you.
- You'll save money. Because a refurbished phone isn’t fresh out of the box, it’ll be cheaper than buying a brand-new model.
- You could get a warranty. Although you might not realize it, established retailers and major networks offer warranty on refurbished phones. The warranty usually lasts around 12-months, though the time period will vary depending on the manufacturer.
- Lots of choice - more choice over of device, network and allowance.
- It's better for the environment. Opting for a recycled handset is better for the environment.

Is the refurbished iPhone 7 Plus worth buying?
So much more than a bigger version of the iPhone 7, the headline news on the 7 Plus is its superb camera function.
With two 12MP lenses - one of which is wide-angle, complete with autofocus and 2x optical zoom - you’re assured of stunning, richly detailed photos.This big-screened phablet, with a 5.5-inch full HD resolution screen, offers a clear and bright display, with a big processer - the Apple A10 fusion chip - to power it.Even with such a huge screen, the phone’s 2,900mAh battery life is enough to keep the phone running all day.You can get this model in Black, Silver, Gold or Rose Gold. Water and dust resistant, with 32GB and 128GB storage options, the iPhone 7 Plus was also the first generation to lose the headphone jack. So, you have to take the rough with the smooth.
