The iPhone 7 Plus is one of the most expensive mobiles you can buy right now. The most basic 32GB model costs £719 SIM free, or from £35 a month with an up-front fee. If you want to jump to 128GB, that’s £819.

Battery life that endures ; New zoom opens up massive photography potential ; It won’t give up if it gets wet

Lack of a headphone port ; No major new look ; Seriously expensive

The best iPhone camera ever, best iPhone screen ever and excellent battery make this the best iPhone yet
