This basically means that should the water accidentally get through your phone’s innards for no fault of yours, you will not get it repaired or serviced for free under warranty. Interestingly, and perhaps influenced by the dual-camera, more than twice as many of you are opting for the larger iPhone 7 Plus than its smaller sibling …

Apple’s Reserve and Pickup iPhone service is quite useful if you don’t want to wait in line. There’s no huge visual overhaul with the iPhone 7, as was expected. Prices start from £33 a month, after a £49 upfront fee.
If you go for a 4GEE Max plan, you can avail a free upgrade to iPhone 7 or 7 Plus by handing over your existing iPhone to the network.
EE’s also been quick to the post, posting its 4GEE and 4GEE Max plans (see the differences here) this morning. And with Craigslist you never know who you might be dealing with.
But there’s plenty of exciting, new technology in the iPhone 7.
Over to Three now, where the best deal we’ve spotted gets you an iPhone 7 (32GB) with unlimited minutes and texts and 30GB of data on a 24-month contract costing £44 per month after a £99 initial payment. That’s also on Vodafone and also includes allowances of 3GB per month and unlimited texts and calls.
For unlimited everything on an Advanced plan, you won’t be surprised to learn that you’ll have to shell out big-time.
Failing that, you can pick it up on O2 for £51.99 per month, with an upfront charge of £59.99 per month.
We’ll have to wait for reviews to find out more about the strengths and weaknesses of the iPhone 7.
So you ignored our advice (or maybe you followed it, but just got unlucky), and your iPhone has died after getting wet. Apple itself notes that its new models only work with the new phones – it otherwise lists its 6s case as compatible with the 6 – and third parties like Speck and JimmyCase have stressed the subtle yet significant changes between the two generations on their websites. They can also hand their current phone to a friend or family member and add a 4GEE SIM to an existing plan from £8 per month on a year-long contract, enabling them access to the shared data allowance as well as unlimited United Kingdom calls and texts. The iPhone 7 is outfitted to IP67 standards, meaning that it’s completely dust-proof and can be submerged in water up to one meter deep.
