As you can see, event though the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus have similar internals, they’re obviously not the same phone at all, with one sporting much more premium specs than the other. Nevertheless, they’re both great options regardless which model you choose.

Pricing wise, the iPhone 7 will go for $649, $749, and $849 respectively for 32, 128, or 256GB of storage unlocked. For the 7 Plus, it’s a very similar story, with all three storage configurations being present with a $100 increase on each ($749, $849, $949). If you choose to purchase your new iPhone with your carrier, you’ll be paying a minimum of around $27/month for the 7 and around $37/month for the 7 Plus, but it varies depending on which carrier you go with. If you wanna get one of the new handsets on the iPhone Upgrade Program, $32.41/month will be the minimum payment for the standard 7 while $37.41 will be the minimum for the 7 Plus. If you wanna go grab your iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, head over to Apple’s official online store. You can also go to your local Apple Store and grab one of the devices.
