When choosing a phone, especially an expensive one iPhone, you should take into account all the nuances. Buying the latest models from Apple is quite expensive, so many people choose the flagships of previous years. For example, in 2016 the company showed the world two new phones – a regular and a plus version. And at about the same time the question arose: 'which is better iPhone 7 or 7 plus?'. Opinions differ – some people like the relative compactness of the first, and some like the camera in the second. But the differences do not end there. Let's figure out together which phone is better: iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 plus.
Previously, the company did not make serious distinctions between the regular and the plus model, but it was on the seventh iPhones that traditions were changed. With these two, it's not only about size, but also about the inner world.
Dimensions and display
Looking at the seventh generation of iPhones, it immediately becomes clear that one of them is of the 'shovel' type. Indeed, the 7 iPhone Plus has 5.5 inches and a resolution of 1920 × 1080, while the smaller model loses with its 1334 × 750. With pixels it is about the same: the larger model has 401, and the little brother has only 326. The difference in weight for the seventh iPhones is insignificant: 138 gr. for the regular version, and 188g for the plus.
Working hours
The seventh iPhone with a 1960 mAh battery allows the owner to move away from the outlet and charger for about 14 hours, which is more than enough for a standard working day and a little rest outside the home. And if you leave a fully charged phone at home and do not touch it, it will turn off only after ten days.
The plus version in this regard is even better – you can move away from the outlet for almost a day. With a 2900 mAh battery, the manufacturer promises to work at 21 hours. And the owner's standby mode iPhone 7 plus is more than two weeks, or rather 16 days.
In 2016, both models became champions in autonomy. And even now you can't say that they are much inferior to the latest iPhones.
Camera

The iPhone 7 Plus has a dual camera, 12 megapixels and two lenses – a wide angle and a telephoto lens – allowing you to take photos of such quality that they collect thousands of likes. Optical zoom and 10x digital zoom can help you avoid over-activity when shooting distant subjects. But the most important thing is portrait mode support. It produces beautiful photos with a blurred background.
The seventh iPhone has one camera, but with the same 12 megapixels. It has no optical zoom, and only 5x digital zoom. But we cannot say that this is a drawback of this phone. The lack of a second camera does not hurt to take beautiful and high-quality photos.
Performance
Both models have an A10 Fusion processor Apple inside. The difference between the 7 and 7 Plus is that the former has 2 gigabytes of RAM, while the latter has 3. And this slight difference allows the 7 Plus to switch between apps faster.
Price comparison
No matter how wonderful the phone is, if it is prohibitively expensive, then the advantages are immediately canceled. Cost iPhone 7 from 35 to 52 thousand rubles. Prices for iPhone 7 plus are higher – from 45 to 55 thousand rubles. The spread depends on the amount of memory: 32, 128 or 256 GB.
conclusions
Comparison of both models showed that the plus version is, of course, much better than the usual one. But if you focus on prices, then iPhone 7 looks much more attractive. But even if money is not important to you, consider how convenient it will be with a large phone. And if not, is it worth chasing better performance at the expense of convenience? Or vice versa, it may be inconvenient with a relatively small phone, and a larger one is better.
In any case, the choice is yours.
