Your iPhone 7 is "Unavailable" because the wrong Passcode has been entered too many times.
Now, you must reset / erase the iPhone and then set it up again. Instructions are here:
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings using a computer - Apple Support
You can restore the data back to your iPhone from your iCloud or computer backup during the new setup of the iPhone.
