slightly off-topic, but as far as i see the choice of a phone is entirely based on the end-user. i have a friend who has used android flagships all his life and got an iphone as a gift, and now he wants to throw it away but can't due to sentimental value, some of my other friends own multiple apple devices from iphones to mac-pros, and they can't stop praising it. i have used iphones, but never really owned an iOS device till recently, when i got a ipad pro. i bought it mainly because samsung did not have a tablet note in my region, and i liked how the pencil worked..but after i got it, i feel a bit suffocated. i have no idea where my files are located in the ipad, with multple copies of the file being made by stupid apps that claim a lot of functionality; and being dependent on the cloud or my pc is not fun. with my nexus, its a hit and run, connect transfer, play
but i have to say i was impressed with the simplicity, of the interface, probably its welcoming for people who already use them.
waiting for the jailbreak now

Wow 61h endurance rating, bigger battery than the last gen... What a €800 champ. I Get more hours with a €120 Motorola, which is in my opinion the second most important thing, on these things. Yet this also have the same res as a €120 Motorola. Go figure.

Before I buy my forst iPhone (6S+), I seriously considered G5... but beacuse of its lousy modular idea, I decided not to pursue it... true enough, after 2 weeks, I returned to their store to check the modular phone, the battery enclosure is already clanky and not locking anymore...

AnonD-1825, 21 Sep 2016Last q iPhone 6s was best selling smartphone in the world, ... moreAgain you have to fall back on benchmarks and sales.
But even those sales only look at each model separately, it doesn't include the 6s plus. Hence why the s7 edge is third place and not the s7. We already know the s7 and the s7 edge together sold better than the 6s and the 6s plus. And again, that doesn't have anything to do with the intrinsic value of the phone.

Proof? Original iphone... up to the iphone4 S were mediocre smartphones,yet they've sell like hotcakes.Ipod in the early 2000'' same story(mediocre player with awful sound quality).And the list goes on.
So the numbers sold(altough indicator) are not final proof for the quality of the product.
P.S. iphone 6 user btw

I have been using iPhones from its first generation. I loved them and infact, I was one of the early adopter. But now they are milking the cow !

Christian, 21 Sep 2016No... No one should wait for S8 to come! And far away that ... moreLast q iPhone 6s was best selling smartphone in the world, it sold almost two times more than next best selling which was iPhone 6. We can quite easily say that this iPhone 7 doesn't have real competitor if even two years old iPhone 6 sold more than any android phone. And now when iPhone 7 is better than ever, its very easy to predict this going to be the phone which most choose when they go out from the store.
And of course the big note 7 fail going to help Apple too.

And I'm not sure what you think that has to do with the note 7 being better in most regards with the main exception being superfluous performance.

And far away that Apple is "that" good.You messed up some things about smartphones.If some things is important to you(obviously speed),there are users that could'nt care less about gaming.And app catalog is different from user to user,so proclaiming the iphone7 as without competition the best of the best... is as childish as it gets.
You know... every phone has its downsides,its up to the user to decide if any of those are important for him.

And also who buy note 7 after that disaster?!?!?!? 25% affected note 7 users said they are going to switch to iPhone 7 and 35% wants their money back.

On the other hand it loses out to the note 7 in almost every other aspect, from camera, to display, to features and functionality.

Having the fastest cpu/gpu is pointless when almost any phone today can play exactly the same games...!"
IPhone 7 has fastest cpu/gpu by far, best RAM management, fastest storage. Camera which is among best, stereo speakers which sounds great, great sound quality, one of the best display in the market (check the displaymate review). Very good battery life, very good looking phone etc.
This phone has about all the elements which most of smartphone users wants.
And yes android users can play same games with bad framerate, while iOS users play 60fps games, and also we get new games all the time if gaming is what you want.

iuli, 21 Sep 2016"no IR port or FM radio" "No user-replaceable battery" W... moreI use FM-radio every day, drain battery far less than streaming over Internet, and not as boring as playing the same playlist over and over again! Every battery ages far faster than the rest of the phone, so it is better to just replace the battery after 1-2 years than be forced to buy a new phone! Replaceable battery is good when hunting or working far out in the woods...! Note 7 could have just replaced the battery if it was replaceable!

Overally this phone is very very hard to beat, this phone doesn't have real competitor currently in the market. We need to wait until S8 comes.
