I suspect that if you ever need hardware service, or battery replacement service, the availability of that will depend on the model, rather than on the date when Apple manufactured your particular iPhone 7.

As far as battery replacement service goes, Apple still offers that for the iPhone 7. They even offer it for the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, which came out a year before your phone did.

That iPhone 7 uses an older serial number format, meaning you can decode the week of manufacture, and other data.

Or more generally, there are newer iPhones that fell off current iOS support after that iPhone 7 fell off iOS support.


It’s also older than the three most recent iOS versions, which means various apps won’t work that far back.
