Holding the 7 Plus with one hand is like trying to palm a basketball while also typing a love letter. It’s doable, but you’ll look like you’re operating a tiny laptop. The screen is 6.23 inches tall (158.2mm) and 3.07 inches wide (77.9mm), plus the whole phone weighs about 188 grams. That’s a chunk of joy.

But here’s the secret: that extra size let you use Landscape Mode properly. Remember when apps like Messages gave you a split view in landscape? It was like having a mini iPad for texting your ex. “Sorry, I can’t reply—my giant screen is just too powerful.”
The Home Button Drama
The iPhone 7 Plus had a solid-state Home button—meaning it didn’t actually click. It used haptic feedback to fake a click. And you know what? It worked beautifully. Your thumb would press the glass, and the Taptic Engine would go thump, like a tiny drummer in your phone.
Some people hated it. I call them dramatic. It made the screen feel more alive, like the whole phone was a single slab of future-tech. Plus, it meant one fewer moving part to break when you drop your phone while taking a selfie of your brunch.
