And Verizon is making it easy for new and existing customers to get into a new iPhone 7: simply trade in your iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus and get up to $650 credit for your old phone - which covers the cost of a new iPhone 7 32 GB.

Both will be available online and in Verizon retail stores beginning at 8:01 a.m. local time on Friday, September 16.  

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are powered by iOS 10, the biggest release ever of the world's most advanced mobile operating system. Both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are available in silver, gold, rose gold, and the all-new black and jet black finishes.

With Verizon LTE Advanced, you can get the most out of your new iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus on the next gen network. Available in 461 cities from coast to coast, Verizon LTE Advanced gives you 50% faster peak wireless data speeds and is available in loads of less-served places including highways, interstates, country roads and rural America.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, also support Verizon's Advanced Calling, which gives you an HD voice and video calling experience as if you're having a conversation with someone in the same room instead of across the country when the other party also has Advanced Calling.      

A week after announcing LTE Advanced, Verizon has added more choice and value to the new Verizon Plan. You can choose a new limited-time 12 GB Verizon Plan for $80 per month that offers Carryover Data, Safety Mode and international calling and texting to and from Mexico and Canada.

And now all of the new Verizon Plans - even L or smaller sizes - now include Safety Mode for no additional charge*.
