Don't shoot me, but I'm an Android phone user. (I've used Macs at work for 25 years so I'm fluent in Apple, though.)
I'm interested in changing that and moving to an iPhone.
I can get a "new in box" ... actually it's an Apple Care replacement phone that the person who received it is selling; the plastic is still on it and the battery life as such is 100 percent ... 256 gig iPhone 7 Plus, factory unlocked and SIM free, for less than what Apple on its site wants for a 32 gig iPhone 7 Plus.
I'm very interested in this, even though I have the cash to purchase a newer model. The No. 1 reason is because it's a metal phone and I utterly detest the notion of glass phones (I don't care 2.75 cacas about wireless charging) because I'm a klutz who keeps his phone in the strongest possible case I can find. (I don't care how a phone looks, to me it's a tool.)
I do need a good camera in my phone because of my job, and while I realize the newer models have better cameras, the 7 Plus camera is miles above the 2016 Android I'm currently using. (HTC 10)
My question is simple as per the header ... I see people saying that their iPhone 7s are still going strong, how long can I expect that to continue before I see degradation in performance? (I do not game, at all, and I rarely stream anything and when I do it's just music.)
I've been told elsewhere 3 years, which would get me to 2021. Accurate? How much longer would an 8 Plus give me?
