How is the battery life on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7+. Can you get through an entire day? Thank you.
Use my phone for calls and average talk time for me is around 1 hour and 40 min. Will I be able to get through a whole day of use with the iPhone 7 (Verizon) or iPhone 7 + (Verizon). If I get a iPhone 7 Smart Battery Case will it increase the SAR. Thank you for your time and have a great day.- MikeS.7456
