As technology moves forward and smartphones have become more powerful, their ability to do more has increased. Buying the best Apple iPhone in 2018 is more complicated because the choices aren't very obvious for everyone. Apple launched three new iPhones last year, including the pricey iPhone X. You have big decisions to make. No matter what, buying a top-rated iPhone is always an expensive decision. We are here to tell you why iPhone 7 is the phone to go for in 2018.
The iPhone 7 is more than two years old now, but it remains one of the most sensible iPhones you can buy (and the one I'd personally choose, thanks to its smaller size). While the iPhone 8 is newer and slightly better looking and the iPhone X is in a league of its own, the iPhone 7 has nearly all the features most people need. It has nearly the exact same camera as the iPhone 8, the same size screen, same RAM, same pixel resolution and is also water resistant. Though iPhone 7 doesn't have a glass back for wireless charging, it comes in more color options - Rose Gold, Gold, Silver, Black, Jet Black. Apple says the glass backing on the iPhone 8 and X is durable, but we’d imagine it will still be more likely to break than the metal back found on the iPhone 7.
Camera
The iPhone 7 has one 12-megapixel iSight camera, but its performance is much improved over the iPhone 6s. It’s got a wider aperture lens, f1.8, which lets in more light for better photos in low-light conditions. The iPhone 7 also has optical image stabilization. The TrueTone flash is also 50 percent brighter thanks to four LEDs, and Apple says it can even compensate for the subtle flickering of indoor lighting.
Design, Display, Build Quality
The iPhone 7 has the same design as 6,6S and even the newer 8. The iPhone 7’s new Home button is completely fused with the rest of the iPhone’s chin. So while the new Home button doesn’t physically click, it does kind of buzz when you press it, thanks to a taptic engine that Apple added to provide haptic feedback. Changes like making the home button has helped make it water resistant. So the iPhone 7’s IP67 rating will save a lot of people a lot time and heartbreak.
The lack of a headphone jack is more annoying than anything else. But Apple has solved this problem with Air Pods. Apple brings you the advanced stereo speakers too delivering a deep and dynamic music range.
Processor
iPhone 7 has a A10 Fusion Chip powering it with 2 low energy cores and 2 high performance cores. Apps launch quickly, updates install quickly, and the camera is ready to shoot seemingly the very instant I swipe to it from the lock screen. There isn't any noticeable any difference in performance in resource-hungry apps. Everything is just faster. Though iPhone 8 has the A11 bionic chip, but you won't notice any difference in you day to day apps or games.
Software
Supporting 5S users through iOS 12 continues to fuel Apple's excellent reputation for software support. Customers who bought the smartphone in 2013 could see their purchase sustained by Apple until the fall of 2019. Even Apple's harshest critics give the company credit for its devotion to support longevity. Given the iOS update track record of Apple for older phones, this iPhone 7 will have at-least 3 updates. And btw, iOS 12 is reportedly dropping in September 2018.
Price
With iPhone 7 starting at Rs 43000, this is the best time to get it. If you are someone looking to get your hands on an iPhone, this is the best for you. Or even people looking to upgrade from 5S or SE, this is the best option at this price.

Thanks for the info! I am using an iPhone SE and was looking for upgrade. I am a college goer, so am tight on budget currently. Am going for iPhone 7 instead of 8/X/Xr
