Apple iPhone 7 overview

The Apple iPhone 7 is our entry-level free iPhone. It covers the essentials — calls, texts, email, maps, banking and benefits apps — with Apple's dependable build quality and a 4.7-inch Retina HD display.

It features Touch ID, stereo speakers and water resistance. Because Apple no longer releases new iOS versions for it, we recommend it for customers who mainly need calling, texting and basic apps.
