steve, 21 Sep 2016still running smoother than androids.Still more longer battery life than iOS es.

    AnonD-535480, 21 Sep 2016Someone did not read but jump to conclusion as usual. They... more200 nits is just 1/3 of most contemporary smartphones. Others can go 1000 nits. 61 endurance time is still "just" ok. Others are nearing 100 hours.

          The last sentence of your review is referring to apple iPhone 7 is the first phone made by apple with a no headphone jack and it will go down within apple history.

          Right?

            AnonD-264179, 21 Sep 2016Not a big fan of iPhone, not an android fanboy too. But wha... moreFor the past few years, Apple has become the destination all the top chip engineers wants to go, not Intel. That should tell you why they are kicking ass in that area.

              Not a big fan of iPhone, not an android fanboy too. But what they've done with their A10 Fusion Chip and Optimized OS just amazing. Hopefully, Android OEM can learn to optimize their Android OS and their UI rather than implemented more and more bloatware...

                AnonD-113455, 21 Sep 2016bigger battery + efficiency a10 cpu? = poor batterySomeone did not read but jump to conclusion as usual. They changed the testing methodology this year. They went from using "screen brightness of 150nits to 200nits brightness." There is your answer right there. Read people, read before posting.

                      On mobile cpu, Apple is Intel and Qualcomm is AMD. I don't see how Qualcomm will ever catch up. Costs is a major thing for them since they have to be able to sell those chips to their partners, so they can't invest in silicon as much as Apple can. Apple does not have to worry about that, it's just part of the whole phone for them. It's amazing Apple is actually the number one buyer of chip silicon in the world, even surpassing Intel, who basically supply the entire pc market with their chips. Let that sink in for a moment.

                        "And yet, the iPhone 7 will probably go down in history as the one that got rid of the jack first."
                        HUE yeah, the 1st one. No, Motorola Moto Z doesn't exist, Oppo R5 is a myth, that LeEco thingy...
                        Great record to be proud, removing a useful jack for the sake of...nothing.

                                    Apple is a juggernaut. Absolutely unstoppable. Hundreds of Android manufacturers try their best to copy and defeat them but its impossible. Everyone talks about Apple, Apple doesnt talk about anyone. They didnt even mention explosive samsung phones in their keynote. Thats what happens when you have the fastest and most powerful smartphone in the world. Iphone = Raw horsepower.
