The iPhone 7 was discontinued in Sept 2019, almost 6 years ago, there are no new ones.


The highest version of iOS it can run was iOS 15.8.4.

If you are in the market for a new phone, it would make sense to buy one that is compatible with iOS 18 now, and that will be compatible with iOS 26 when it comes out this fall.


Apple has an online tool that you can use to compare the features of various phones. It has pull-down menus you can use to compare any three models of phones side by side.
