You might think: “Why are we talking about a dinosaur phone?” Because the iPhone 7 Plus is still a beast. It’s the last iPhone with a headphone jack (RIP), and it’s durable enough to survive a small earthquake.
Knowing its measurements helps you understand why it feels so substantial in the hand. The thickness (0.29 inches) is exactly thick enough to house that satisfying solid aluminum back. No glass to shatter, no wireless charging coils to add bulk.
New iPhone 7 schematics suggest similar dimensions, unlikely front
It’s a phone that feels like a tool, not a jewel. And tools have dimensions.
The Charging Port Truth
One last measurement: the Lightning port is exactly 0.3 inches wide. If you drop a grain of rice inside? You’ll spend twenty minutes with a toothpick and a flashlight. I speak from experience.
Also, the speaker grills at the bottom? They’re symmetrical, but only one is a real speaker. The other is a microphone. Apple trolled everyone with that visual symmetry. Classic.
