    Now that Apple has disappointed early adopters with a mere incremental iPhone upgrade, and Samsung has done even worse by releasing exploding Galaxy Note 7s, the preposterous futility of the smartphone wars should be coming apparent. Those people who are trading in perfectly usable phones for the latest models are the suckers.
    A brand new smartphone is anything but a status symbol. It simply means you’ve been fooled into valuing a shiny new object over its impact on labor, the environment, or even your own time. And it’s not entirely your own fault.
    After all, our Twitter streams are filled with comments about Apple’s latest product launch and links to Medium posts and unboxing videos by those delighted or vanquished by their new purchases. It’s hard not to want the button, the two-lens camera, or iris-recognition security. Such innovations make a single lens or thumbprint security feel, well, so last quarter.
    Yet the gadgets truly in need of glorification in our Instagram feeds are those battered, bruised, and still-ticking devices that don’t demand their own replacement every 365 days.

                iPhone 7 isn’t as popular as iPhone 6S, apparently
                Sales of the iPhone 7 may not be as great as Apple hoped for, with analysts suggesting shipments have fallen compared to last year.

                GfK, Germany’s largest market research firm, says that sales of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus over the launch weekend were down by 25% year-on-year. That’s compared to last September’s iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus launch, which saw Apple achieve record-breaking sales.

If you ask geek bench, then it had much better single core score and worse multi core score but multi core score is not important. I prefer antutu because it also includes GPU and RAM speed and storage speed and doesn't weigh the multi core score too much
