AnonD-442781, 22 Sep 2016Exactly. The iPhone 7 doesn't even have a second sim slot, ... moreStill doesnt explain your point of saying how those disadvantages of absent features apply on the iphone. And if you just check out the actual review of iphone 7, it mentioned no micro sd slot as a disadvantage.

      Stereo no no only One speaker . Fake

        "The low-light sample is really impressive - it was shot at ISO 100 at 1/6 speed and illustrates the true power of an OIS camera."

        Is it just me or the iPhone 7 has pathetic IQ compared to Nexus 5X? Why call it impressive?

                  So no fast wireless charging is a shame in 2016? Only because Samsung has it. Did you thought about the fact that all other big companies don't like Sony, HTC, Google, OnePlus etc. don't have it and that the iPhone has a metal back compared to the Glass back of the S6/S7 which makes it able for wireless charging way easier?

                      Where is 7 Plus Review. I just want to see how the dual camera performs. And. Does that 3 GB RAM makes a difference or not between 7& 7+.

                            I had an iPhone 3G, a 4S and a 5. I kept the 5 for about a year and a half, the other two less than a year. They were nice phones at the time, when everyone else was behind. While the 3G came to light, all Android phones were horrible. Then the iOS 4 update came and broke it. The Galaxy S line started with the iPhone 4, they were good phones, but with bad plastic build, while Android and TouchWiz had a lot of issues (TouchWiz might be improved now, but we still hate it though.) Since the iPhone 6, Apple has been behind the competition in every aspect. Design, battery life, camera/sound/display quality, as well as other features and so on. Android has came a long way, now being comparable to iOS - performance and stability wise. Of course, an iPhone 7 might be a few miliseconds faster than the best Androids out there (let's say the OnePlus 3), but that's just no justification to double the price AND have half the storage. And that with worse, overused (by more than 2 years) design, IMHO, not to mention the huge bezels (seriously, Apple, isn't a 5.5 inch phone already big enough?) To me, that 32-128-256 storage option is a scam, making you buy the 2nd one. There should be 1-step increase in storage, so the 7s should have been started with 64 gig options. A premium phone in 2016 should have no less than 64GB, look at the OnePlus 3 and Note7 (explosions aside). Also, let's not forget that a premium glossy black piano won't scrath if you touch it. That's how a quality device should act.

                                        Haha, EPIC fail with that lousy battery performance. I should definitely have been above 70 hrs. Anything worse than Samsung S7 (76 hrs) in the battery performance, is actually very bad. The S7 is juuuust acceptable in terms of battery, (When most shit is turned off) but its not a very good flagship overall TBH. Even the Sony xperia X compact did significantly better with its 73 hrs.
