Buying advice for Algeria

Both Apple iPhone 5c and Apple iPhone 7 Plus are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Apple iPhone 5c is 50% cheaper at 7,000 DZD versus 14,000 DZD for the Apple iPhone 7 Plus, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.

Apple iPhone 7 Plus packs a 2900 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

Apple iPhone 7 Plus reaches a higher main-sensor resolution at 12 MP, which helps with crops and lower-light photos.

At this price you should expect 4G across Algerian networks (Mobilis, Djezzy, Ooredoo) and basic 60-90Hz screens.
