It’s about 2 yrs old but never got anything like that for battery life. Talk, I guess that means active; it’s on, but not in constant use. I’d say I take it in the morning and depending how much I use it, might last till I go to bed at night. Won’t make it that long if I’m using it much. But definitely standby time is nothing like 16 days. Even if I’ve turned it off, it’ll be dead in 3 or 4 days I’d say.

I'm still using my iPhone 6S (256 GB) and it works like a charm even though I've had it for 5+ years.

Good luck and have a heart before they go away!

Has been a good phone although not too impressed with the battery life. If I leave everything on I need to charge it every night.

Still in use after 3+ years. No problems with it. A lot more functionality than the Motorola. Battery life is decent as far as I am concerned.

I'm not upgrading until it dies or 5G rolls out in my area. Whichever comes first.

It's solid for me. I use all the features, pushes, Internet, email, text and phone. I also play games on it daily. I do have to recharge it now (it's 3 years old, I think?) about every 24- 36 hours, but other than that its great!

Slap a case on it and you'll never see the color if it's unpleasant to you. I don't even remember what color my phone is anymore.

Size is perfect even though it feels feels huge when you first hold it.

Color doesn't matter ... get a good protective case

Water resistance is very nice

You'll come to love Touch-ID

Cameras are better that average

The number of amazing apps available will stun you
You'll discover dozens of apps you didn't know you needed until you try them
Everything from weather to navigation to music

Enjoy!

I really can't tell much difference between the two other than the 8 has a slightly larger screen. They even take the same accessories. I can't imagine the 7 being much different.

My 6 was still going strong and it was the first version of it. The only reason I upgraded to the 8 was to get more memory. I don't like the newer ones that lack a home button. I'll probably keep my 8 until it stops working. Given how reliable all my previous iPhones have been I suspect this may be a very long time.
