Im looking to buy a new Iphone and I'm thinking that an Iphone 7 would be nice. Looking at the Apple website and the Verizon website they both offer them refurbished, which I think i'll buy dude to the price. However, on the Apple website, the Iphone 7 32GB is listed for $500, and they say that put in a new battery. On the Verizon website they offer a 128GB for $504, but no new battery. I wouldn't use a ton of space, taking a pretty normal amount of pictures, using snapchat and playing games. Also I already have a plan with Verizon, so that's a given no matter what. What would you guys say? Anything is appreciated and I'll do my best to answer any questions or specifics.

I suppose it depends on what you're after and what platform you prefer. While Apple OS has its merits for ease of use and such, it's a fully closed ecosystem and as such doesn't offer much in terms of apps and app development by third parties.

"Better" is highly subjective but that said, I personally prefer Android devices. Your choices are plentiful for sure and you can upgrade your storage as needed without being bled to death for it as Apple has a tendency to do. That said, I've got an LG V30 and it's outstanding on Verizon. I looked into a Samsung 8+ and Note 8 prior to getting this (and the 9+/N9 came out shortly after I got it) and would have been happy with that as well.

Again, it's all in what you want to do with the phone...

If there is really a better Phone that you know then i'd probably condsider it, what are you referring to?

Again, it's all in what you want to do with the phone and if switching to Android is an acceptable thing for you. If you're an Apple fan, that may be hard though it's not an insurmountable task. You're likely to read about Android users switching and loving Apple and vice versa. Weigh your options carefully. Also, and it's just me, but I'd never buy a refurb directly though I've had to have a couple due to something having broken on my device.
