Old broad here. I’ve loved my iPhone 7, but it’s not holding a charge … may be dying. Don’t need anything fancy. I play a couple of games, text, call … a bit of surfing … not much. What do folks recommend? I want to stay with an iPhone. The 15 seems like a lot for someone like me … and I heard it has issues.
Thank in advance.
Edited to mention it’s 128 GB.
No issues with iPhone 15. All of them have been fixed, I can assure you. Get that one.
iPhone 15
iPhone 13 still for sale 599$ and will be a major upgrade. If you want to keep the 7’s form factor get the SE
I went from 13 to 15… not much difference really. 13 is a great phone for the money.
15 pro max
Terabyte version
13mini seems like the best deal and performance.
13 mini would be good!!
Agreed for your uses OP
If you want to stick to an iPhone. I would say get the iPhone 15. I got mine a few weeks ago and have experienced absolutely 0 hiccups. It’s a fantastic device. If you have budget constraints then grab the iPhone 13. It’s an amazing phone which is about 85% of the 15, and will be supported for at least 4 years. It’s also regularly found on sale and you should be able to find good second hand deals depending on where you live. IF you are looking for the smaller form factor then the SE is always there!
iPhone 11
If money is that tight I would go for the iPhone 13, still has enough new features compared to the 7 and will get main OS updates for probably ~5 years.
Battery replacement is what I do once. It delays an upgrade.
Get the 13 mini! Do not get the 12 mini as myself and plenty others got rid of it because of carrier connectivity issues.
My phone is dying too (iPhone 8 plus) battery really f’ed and the phone lags a bunch. I’m waiting for the s24 series just want something different than iOS for the past 6 years
13 mini for sure
Android is the better option in this case
If the only issue is it not holding charge… What about a new battery?
