How much do you need the bigger screen? I’d go for the 7 because the specs are far newer and it’ll last longer..
though if it’s only a short term device you don’t plan on keeping for more than 2 years and the larger screen is important to you I’d go with the 6s plus.
Yeah, but unfortunately the 7 only has 2 GB RAM. As mentioned, I wouldn't recommend any 2 GB RAM iPhone in 2020, if longevity is a concern. It should be noted that all new iDevices released since 2019 have at least 3 GB RAM, even sub-$300 entry level models (iPad 7).How much do you need the bigger screen?

What about camera when comparing 6 and 7?Yeah, but unfortunately the 7 only has 2 GB RAM. As mentioned, I wouldn't recommend any 2 GB RAM iPhone in 2020, if longevity is a concern.

It's also expected that the new low budget iPhone SE which is to be released likely next week will have 3 GB RAM.

that’s what I’m thinking in regards to the 7.Huge screen is not essential as I don’t play games or watch videos on it and I have small hands . I had a 6inch huawei and the screen was too big to hold in one hand and use
Depends on how much longer the 6s plus will be support for
7 it is then...
Might wait for the SE 2. Depends if it’s in my price range of £300 max
iPhone 7 camera offers better low light pictures than 6s camera.What about camera when comparing 6 and 7?
You mentioned longevity. Historically, the number 1 determinant of Apple iDevice longevity has been amount of RAM. The reason for this is that as iOS matures, it also tends to use up more RAM. Websites and apps also tend to use more RAM as time goes on.Many people aren’t heavy users and don’t necessarily need the extra RAM. It’s very subjective.
Yeah, that's my guess for the price too for the new iPhone SE.I'd wait and see what happens to the iPhone 7 and 8 after the release of the iPhone SE/9 for between £429-479 (in my opinion).
Truthfully, even after the new iPhone SE comes out, I suspect it's going to be difficult to find an iPhone 7 Plus 128 GB or iPhone 8 Plus 64 GB for that £300 price, unless it's refurbished. iPhone 7 Plus 32 GB may be within reach if he stretches that budget a bit, but 32 GB can be rather limiting for many people.I think the 8 and 7 will get a price cut at the third party retailers that have handled the 6s and 7 since the iPhone 11 came out. This might not happen immediately but I think prices of the older phones will soften as Apple allow approved retailers to cut prices.
For example, look at Giff Gaff. A UK phone operator who sells unlocked iPhones at decent prices as long as you buy a SIM card from them.
The key point as mentioned in this thread is the 3Gb of RAM. For information the 8 Plus has 3Gb of RAM whereas the 8 just had 2Gb. It might be worth sitting back for a month or two to see how third party retailers handle the pricing of the 7 and 8 after the SE/9 come out.
Yeah, that's my guess for the price too for the new iPhone SE.
Unfortunately, the OP has a max budget of £300.

Either way though, it does make a lot of sense to wait for the new iPhone SE release before making any decisions, to take advantage of the expected price drops on older models. I'm expecting the new iPhone SE to be announced this coming week or else next week.
I can’t believe no one has pointed out that the 7 is waterproof (to a degree) while the 6s+ isn’t.
Which is better ? The 6s has a Bigger screen but the 7 is newer
This is a pic of my SE and 7 from when I was prepping the SE for sale. I still love the size of the SE, although I find the 7 just as easy to handle.Can someone show me a screen size comparison of the SE ( my current phone ) and the 7 ( not the 7 plus )
Ok I saw a YouTube video comparing the two,
I’ll go for the 7 providing Apple continues support for it . thanks
