Apple originally released the iPhone 7 in September 2016, and it was priced from $649. The iPhone 7 was the first iPhone to drop the 3.5mm headphone jack, and it was also the first to have an IP rating for dust and water resistance. You&#8217;ll also get a small form factor iPhone with a home button, which means you will get to use Touch ID for device security instead of Face ID. The iPhone 7 may be closing in on five years old, but it is still a capable phone in 2021, and you can get a <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-7\">cheap iPhone 7<\/a> from Swappa, <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/swappa-is-the-safest-marketplace-for-used-tech-this-is-why\/\">the safest marketplace for used tech<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>July 2021<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>August 2021<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>September 2021<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>October 2021<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>November 2021<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>December 2021<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>iPhone 7 (32GB)<\/strong><\/td><td>$121<\/td><td>$118<\/td><td>$110<\/td><td>$108<\/td><td>$108<\/td><td>$109<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>iPhone 7 (128GB)<\/strong><\/td><td>$142<\/td><td>$144<\/td><td>$139<\/td><td>$135<\/td><td>$132<\/td><td>$132<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>iPhone 7 (256GB)<\/strong><\/td><td>$168<\/td><td>$167<\/td><td>$185<\/td><td>$173<\/td><td>$162<\/td><td>$175<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption><center><em>Average sale prices for a used iPhone 7 sold in the Swappa marketplace.<\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h2>When is the best time to buy an iPhone 7?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17857 size-large img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/iphone-7-1024x269.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 7\" width=\"1024\" height=\"269\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Normally, the best time to buy a new iPhone is after a new model is announced in September.

Essentially, this means the best time to buy an iPhone 7 is right now. In fact, there really is no bad time to buy an iPhone 7 on Swappa. This is because prices are almost always falling. This can happen a little slower thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/apple-iphone-samsung-galaxy-resale-value\/\">iPhone&#8217;s lower depreciation rate<\/a>, but one thing is inevitable: prices will fall.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"swappa-widget\" style=\"min-height:150px;\" data-primary-device=\"apple-iphone-7\" data-section=\"mobile\"><div class=\"swp_subscription hidden-xs\" style=\"position:relative;;z-index:100\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:20px;position:absolute;right:20px;top:7px\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/swappa-bootstrap\/images\/subscribe_band_sm.png\"\/><span class=\"hidden-xs img-responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;right:16px;top:2px;padding:6px 7px\"><a class=\"swp_register\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-7#blog_subscribe_modal\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe to Apple iPhone 7\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"fa fa-bell-o\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><div class=\"swp-wgt\"><div class=\"swp-row\"><div id=\"swp_col_config\" class=\"swp-row\"><div id=\"swp_col_device\"><div class=\"swp-select\" data-target=\"swp_device_select\"><div class=\"swp-left\"><div style=\"height:60px;;width:60px;\" class=\"swp-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Product Image\" id=\"swp_device_img\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/images\/cache\/d5\/cd\/d5cdcfad09c616b0b9e907c455c7a664.png\"\/><\/div><div style=\"margin:10px 0;\" class=\"swp-right img-responsive\"><div id=\"swp_device_name\" class=\"swp-title\" style=\"padding-left:  7px;\">Apple iPhone 7<\/div><\/div><\/div><div><\/div><\/div><div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"swp_col_options\" class=\"swp_options_select\"><div class=\"swp-size swp-select\" data-target=\"swp_options_select\" style=\"height:76px;\"><div class=\"swp-left\" style=\"margin:10px 10px auto;\"><div id=\"swp_opt2_name\" class=\"swp-title\">Unlocked<\/div><div id=\"swp_opt1_name\" class=\"swp-muted\">32<\/div><\/div><div class=\"swp-down\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u25bc\" width=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/static\/widget\/caret-down.svg\"\/><\/div><\/div><div id=\"swp_options_select\" class=\"swp_select_options img-responsive\" style=\"width:184px;display:none;\"><div class=\"swp-opt-title\">CAPACITY<\/div><div style=\"margin:0 8px;\"><div style=\"overflow-x:overlay;;width:100%;\"><div class=\"swp-options\" data-opt-index=\"0\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"swp-opt-title\">NETWORK<\/div><div class=\"swp-options\" data-opt-index=\"1\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"swp_col_price\" class=\"swp-row\" style=\"width:200px;position:relative;\"><div id=\"swp_col_start_at\" style=\"width:85%;\"><div class=\"swp-col-50 swp-left\">LISTINGS<br\/> START AT<\/div><div class=\"swp-col-50\"><span id=\"swp_price\">80<\/span><\/div><hr class=\"swp-dotted\" style=\"width:100px;\"\/><\/div><div id=\"swp_col_buy\" style=\"width:100%;\"><a class=\"swp-buy swp-button swp-right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-7\">SHOP NOW ><\/a><\/div><div class=\"swp_subscription visible-xs\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:18px;position:absolute;right:9px;top:0px\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/swappa-bootstrap\/images\/subscribe_band_sm.png\"\/><span class=\"visible-xs img-responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;right:4px;top:0px;padding:6px 7px\"><a class=\"swp_register\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-7#blog_subscribe_modal\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe to Apple iPhone 7\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"fa fa-bell-o\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<hr \/>\n<h2>See also:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/iphone-7-vs-iphone-8-price\/\">iPhone 7 vs iPhone 8: Which is a better buy?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/is-iphone-7-worth-buying\/\">Is the iPhone 7 worth buying in 2022?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/iphone-7-overview\/\">iPhone 7 overview<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>No matter which iPhone you have your eye on, Swappa is the perfect place to find the best deals on all models, including the iPhone 7.
