Anonymous, 17 Jul 2017always seems to me that IPhone just put a ticking time bomb... moreiPhones have much better longlievity than samsung. Several more years of updates, higher built quality. My iPhobe 5 survived 5 years of constant usage, I even bought an iPhone 4 in really good condition after all those years. "I feel like they put a bomb into iPhones, buy Samsung" is not an argument

- my Xperia M4 Aqua was laggy directly after I set it up
- my iPhone 7 is not laggy at all and I never close my background apps
- my iPhone 7 is not deleting data by itself as well
- I didn't say an old android system is laggy, but it isn't safe
- you can't say android handles the ram better. It is known that iPhones have way superior ram management
- you should start to use punctuation marks

look in android i can open almost 60 app running in back ground i go back to my apps open fast as i left it and running my apps side by side i also enjoy to have the choice to encrypting my data or leaving it just it is plus i get more could storage i have 100 GB for 2 years for free on every single device i have which is LG devices so i am using the first free offer and waiting to use the second one i got only 3 gb on i cloud just shame on device almost 20000 LE i am egyptian so it's pretty expensive i am a mac user tell me why i use android simply cus it's fast safe secure i know how to use it on my own way my fav browser my fav gallery app and my fav music player every single app is running i am letting it running i don't need apple to choose my fav apps for me or even can't take my whatsapp data from the device when i broke my screen i own the device apple didn't know how to help me so they decide to send me the team help or whatsapp and whatsapp told me contact apple again :D man there is no way to compare apple it just 1 way to use it android it's your way i can transfer my date between my devices easily and fast and secure i can download my songs and put them in my playlist without pc and i can even play them from my music player without downloading them from my default music player i can also see my gallery online without downloading them from the default gallery app that i have remember man you have to control the technology not the technology is controlling you about my old device is 6 years old :D is faster then my brother iphone 5s :D camera is more sharp and i have a manual control on my second device which is i cannot found it on any iphone and it's better camera then iphone 7 i just tried to compare when it comes to manual iphone lose i don't hate iphone or even like it i just want this peace of technology to do what i want to do in the way i like right that's why i am paying money for have a nice day

Chap1, 12 Jul 2017Thank you very much,i ve been searching for that answer eve... moreYes, I think so. I hope we'll finally reach a point where iOS doesn't become much heavier every year so that there won't be laggy messes like the iPhone 4s anymore. And I also hope that Apple finally goes all in with RAM instead of saving a few pennies so that iPhones become even more future proof.

Note that it's a 16GB unit running iOS 10.3.1.
When I typed in the password, the unlock animation wasn't completely fluid. I redid it and it was fluid. Then many notifications came in because I didn't use it for a while. I open the settings app to see which software it is running. The opening animation, the submenu animation and the back swiping animation are all fluid. There is a little delay compared to my iPhone 7 when going into a sub menu, about 0.3 seconds, so you don't notice it if you don't compare it side by side. Going into the App Store, the animations are buttery smooth, but loading the main page takes a couple of seconds (like 5 secs). I go into Clash royale, but I have to download an update to use it. Downloading the update takes about half a minute, and another 5 seconds to install it. Loading the game takes a little more than 5 seconds, something like 8 seconds. Donating cards, reading new messages, everything is fast and fluid, but I notice that the phone starts to heat up a little bit (even though it's not as bad as with for example my Xperia M4 Aqua). I do a test battle, it's not exactly 60fps but pretty close, I guess 50fps. Swiping up the control center for the first time since startup takes 2 seconds to come up, but then it's smooth if I do it over and over. Same goes for notification center. Going into the widget page, it's not completely fast, I would tip 20fps, but using it is fluid again. Opening youtube and loading a video is fast once again. Scrolling through comments is usable, but not as much of a pleasure as doing it on my iPhone 7. Closing the same video is a little laggy, but closing the app is 60fps. Loading the newest weather information takes a second, using the app is fast without any lag. Camera app takes a second to load and a second to focus. Taking some pictures, the first 2 took a second, but the other ones were instant. Opening the photos, zooming in, scrolling through, all of that is no problem for it. Setting an alarm is instant. The phone kept being warm, but not hot like when I loaded clash royale.
So this is how an iPhone performs after 5 years with its last update. I could still imagine using it (like I did a few months ago). But every iPhone before iPhone 5 was laggy on its last update, except iPhone 3GS with iOS 6. So you can't be completely sure if the next iPhones will age that well again performance-wise, but I'm pretty sure as the iPhone 5 was 3 times as fast as the 4s and that's just a whole new level, and then the 5s came and it was twice as fast once again.

So,is this really true? Never lags? Even after longer period and updates?!

But as you can see, your phone doesn‘t support any software higher than 5.1.1 (if I remember correctly), which means you don‘t have the security if you don‘t get security updates every month, and your phone basically has less features than the comparable iPhone 5s which will get some new features with iOS 11 and also got some with iOS 10 and iOS 9. And because Sony has to make different ROMs for every phone they have, they don‘t have as much time to care about bug fixes, while Apple has one OS for every device (for example, iOS 10.3.2 for the iPhone 5 has the same build number as this software for the iPhone 7, it‘s only lacking some features which you can‘t get because of its old twch, like 3D Touch or background tracking for your steps because of missing co-processor) which also means it gets the updates timely. But it is great that you bought a flagship phone, mid range and low end phones are pure cr*p and outdated and out of support as soon as you unbox them.

AnonD-683403, 09 Jul 2017Get an a Samsung galaxy s7 because it has a display of 1440... moreNEver heard such cr*p from a fanboy desperately defending android. It´s obvious that iPhones get longer software support, you obviously didn‘t ever use an iPhone. My iPhone 5 with iOS 10.3.1 still works great, only loading times are longer but that‘s just because it is a 5 years old phone. And it is still faster and much less laggy than the Xperia M4 Aqua from 2015. Please stop spreading bs. And even though the res is only 640p, it is still sharp because it is 4‘‘ in size. And compared to the Galaxy S3 and S4, it‘s rivals, it gets software update while those didn‘t get any update since years and they were just left behind in the dust to slowly and painfully die (which you could also say abput their users). This adds much more security to the phone, I wouldn‘t dare to use an Android 4.2 device today. And if you compare them now, it is faster and the refined LCD doesn‘t have oversaturated colors or bad image retention like the early AMOLEDs which looked really innatural (today, they are good because they are refined, but back in the day LCD just worked better). There shouldn‘t be anybody listening to such data sheet f*gs.

I used an iPhone 5 for 5 years and now that the support is ending (and it also got dust under display and the lower volume button didnt work, but that´s my fault), I bought an iPhone 7 and I know that i will use it for 5 years or even more. In 2015, I bought an Xperia M4 Aqua but it was bs that I switched back to iPhone 5 (In the meanwhile it lost 70% of its value) so I will never do such things again.

Rayne , 08 Jul 2017Should I get the iPhone 6 32gb (2017) or go for mid range a... moreneither
the 32gb iPhone 6 is overpriced because it is new
mid range phones will never reach high end quality
so I would recommend iPhone 6s, iPhone SE and
if you definitely want an iPhone, but cheaper then an used 5s or 6 from eBay
or you can also wait until iPhone 6 32GB gets a reasonable price
other than that, you can also look out for high end android phones, they don't have to be the newest. The 1 year old flagships usually have great value, so now that would be Galaxy S7, LG G5, Xperia X Performance/XZ, Huawei P9, Honor 8, HTC 10, and things like that. If you live in India or China, I definitely recommend Xiaomi. Their phones usually have one of the best value you can find.
What I wouldn't recommend are Nokia phones, they are just driven by the hype about the old brand. And almost every other mid range phone doesn't have good value as well. Honorable mentions are just the Xiaomi like said before, and some Motos
