As you can imagine there are tons of different options in the Mobile Phones category and even loads of options of products from Apple so it’s important to take the time to find the right one for you. The four areas that we want to delve in to a little more are the quality, the price of the product, what the reviews are saying about it and then finally we’ll look at an overall score which takes into account the other factors.
Quality of Apple iPhone 7
Apple iPhone 7 scored an incredible 9.5/10 for quality.
As you’d expect with a lot of products, quality is a very important factor for choosing products in the “Mobile Phones” category. But it’s even more important to consider and get a feel for quality when you’re buying online because you aren’t given the benefit of being able to see and try the item for yourself.
This is of course why we can’t stress enough the importance of reading lots of reviews, as it will really help you to get a good feel for how good the quality is. A top tip when reading the reviews is to use the search function on your browser and search for the word “quality” in the reviews that way you can skip straight to customers that have mentioned about the quality of Apple iPhone 7.
Once you’ve had a good look over the reviews you’ll have a pretty good indication of how good the quality of Apple iPhone 7 is, but we also have the following factors that you should consider to get an idea of the quality of the product you’re looking at.
- Price: It probably sounds obvious, but there are links to the price you pay and the quality of a product. Try and set your expectations for the quality based on your budget. You wouldn’t expect a Rolls-Royce for the price of a Fiesta so bear this in mind when shopping.
- Specification: It’s a really good idea to look over the product description and specification section of the website, for Apple iPhone 7 you can read the full details on the John Lewis & Partners website where it will give you all the detail you need. It’s useful as you’ll probably already have a good idea of the sort of specs that make good Mobile Phones. Also compare these specs to other similar products that are in the same price bracket.
- Brand: Apple are obviously a strong and recognisable brand for making great Mobile Phones, so you’d expect Apple iPhone 7 to deliver to these expectations. But always consider the brand when you’re thinking about the quality of the product you’re going to buy, and where quality is an important factor to you, look only at those well known brands (of course only if your budget allows).
- Your experience with Mobile Phones: You’ll no doubt have some history with buying Mobile Phones, and you may have even bought products from the same brand, Apple, use this information to your advantage. You’ll probably have a good idea of how good the quality of the product was and any faults or floors you remember from it.
Price analysis of Apple iPhone 7
Apple iPhone 7 scored highly with 9.3/10 for price in our review.
Price, a hugely important part of any purchase. Price becomes even more of a consideration when we’re shopping online because it’s so amazingly simple to compare the price of several retailers in literally just a few clicks. In fact you don’t even need to do that, we’ve run price comparisons for you in order to find the best price. The lowest price we’ve managed to find Apple iPhone 7 for is just £349 over at John Lewis & Partners.
There’s a lot of geeky analysis to be done on price, but what we find most effective and informative is to look at 3 different figures when comparing products and that is the average price, the most expensive and the cheapest. This gives you a really good feel for what the normal product would cost but also giving you an idea of just how cheap you can find it or the opposite, just how expensive some are. It’s also useful to look at the average of the products that fit in the same category as well as products from the same brand. So we’re going to look in more detail now at the price of Apple iPhone 7.

We thought it would be useful to spend a bit of time exploring the price of Apple iPhone 7 and seeing how it compares to other similar products. And also seeing how much variance there are in prices of products in the Mobile Phones category. To do this we looked at all of the products over at John Lewis & Partners, there were a total of 56 products in the Mobile Phones, and of these 56 products the average price was £471.48, making Apple iPhone 7 below average at £349. We also looked at the cheapest option in the same category which was just £99.95 whilst the most expensive was £1199.00.

With the most expensive product from them coming in at £4899.00 and the cheapest at £7.49. We thought a good next step would be to look more specifically at products from Apple that fit in to the category of Mobile Phones rather than looking at all their products.
Of the 8 products from Apple in the Mobile Phones category, the average price is £586.63 making Apple iPhone 7 below average at £349. Again we looked at how much price can vary and found that the cheapest product to fit this criteria was £349.00 and the most expensive was £999.00 so there are again a lot of varying prices with the products. In fact to be precise we found 7 products from Apple that were more expensive and 0 that were cheaper.
