iPhone 7 sets may no longer receive the version upgrades like iOS 16, but they may still receive a few security updates in the year 2022. The new security updates, if released, will be based on iOS 15 only, of course.
It depends on what useless means to you, if a phone with reduced security and outdated security patches is useless to you, then yes the iPhone 7 will become useless after it stops receiving updates.
Fast charging
Another factor to bear in mind with battery life is how easy it is to top-up the battery with some extra juice.
Since the iPhone 8, you can use a higher-wattage fast charger like the 18W Apple charger to speed up charge times. iPhone 8, iPhone X, iPhone 11 and the new iPhone SE can reach 50% charge in about half an hour of fast charging. Only the iPhone 11 Pro comes with a fast charger bundled in the box though. All other models — including the new SE — come with the slower 5W iPhone charger.
