No, most iPhone 6s cases will not fit the iPhone 7. The same goes for iPhone 6s Plus cases, which will not fit on the iPhone 7 Plus. The iPhone 7 has a larger camera and flash than previous models. Most iPhone 6 and 6s housings do not protect the larger camera size in their rear slots.

iPhone 7 Plus boasts the A10 chip. Apple's first quad core chip, the A10 is 40% faster than the A9 featured in iPhone 6s Plus. Apple claim that iPhone 7 Plus has up to 1-hour longer battery life than iPhone 6s Plus.
Drop durability is probably not the first thing you think about when shopping for an iPhone, but if you're buying this phone for a child, it's definitely a plus.

Which iPhones are the same size?
The iPhone 7, 8, and SE (2020) are the same size. These model iPhones have a 4.7" screen (diagonally measured as shown above). These two models are different than the iPhone 6/6s model Apple offers due to no longer having a headphone jack and a different camera design.
The iPhone 7 continues to use the same IPS LCD screen technology as the iPhone 6, rather than OLED as in Samsung's Galaxy S7 range. It's also the same 4.7-inch size and 1334 x 750 resolution as its ancestor.
Yes, the iPhone 8 is the same sizes as the iPhone 7, and the iPhone 8 Plus is the same size as the iPhone 7 Plus so they 8 devices will fit in the 7 cases. The iPhone SE (2nd gen) also fits the same case as the iPhone 7 and 8.
To reiterate: In most instances, no, an iPhone case will not fit a different model of iPhone.
That's because each phone has a specific dimension that does not match other phones. The camera placements on iPhones and Android phones do not match and the screen dimensions are also not the same. You will not find any iPhone cover in the market that fits an android phone.
And due to the bigger camera setup on iPhone 7 Plus, it will not be able to fit into iPhone 6 Plus leather cases (image above - Right: iPhone 7 Plus in iPhone 6/6s Plus leather case).
Are iPhone 6 and 6s the same size? iPhone 6 and 6s have very minor differences in their casing. The iPhone 6 is slightly smaller at 5.44 x 2.64 x 0.27 inches, while the iPhone 6s comes at 5.44 x 2.64 x 0.28 inches. The weight of the iPhone 6s has increased from 4.55 ounces to 5.04 ounces.

This means any phones introduced in 2016 or earlier, including the iPhone 6S, iPhone SE and iPhone 7, won't be getting Apple software updates anymore. It's not an unexpected move, given that the company regularly retires software support on older devices.
No, an iPhone 7 is approximately the same size as an iPhone 6. So an iPhone 7 case will not fit on an iPhone 6 Plus. An iPhone 7 Plus case will fit an iPhone 6 plus, but you won't be able to take pictures because the cameras are in different places.

Will a iPhone 7 screen fit a 6?
The iPhone 7 has the same screen size as the iPhone 6, 6S and 8. It has a 4.7-inch (diagonal) display.
Drop durability is probably not the first thing you think about when shopping for an iPhone, but if you're buying this phone for a child, it's definitely a plus. Until iOS 16 was released in September 2022, a used iPhone 6S was still able to run the most recent Apple mobile operating system: iOS 15.
Still using this as a main phone in 2022 since 2018. It's still doing okay, battery holds for a day for lite usage. The camera is getting worse, main is okay but front is the worse now but it's okay for a 7yrs old phone. Speaker is average, but better than my mid-range Vivo (second phone).
Apple has just updated its list of so-called “vintage” devices. This includes devices that were last marketed more than 5 years ago and less than 7 years ago.
Yes, the iPhone 8 is the same sizes as the iPhone 7, and the iPhone 8 Plus is the same size as the iPhone 7 Plus so they 8 devices will fit in the 7 cases. The iPhone SE (2nd gen) also fits the same case as the iPhone 7 and 8.
And, of course, there's the iPhone SE 3. On the surface, the SE 3 looks almost identical to the iPhone 7. It has the same 4.7-inch LCD display, physical home button with Touch ID, and single 12MP camera with 5x digital zoom.
Case in point: The new flagship iPhones are the exact same size as last year's iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, respectively. They're a bit lighter, but the iPhone 7 still measures 138.3mm x 67.1mm x 7.1mm, while the iPhone 7 Plus is still at 158.2mm x 77.9mm x 7.3mm. The display sizes haven't changed, either.
