Yes, iPhone 7 is not much improved from the 6s but until competitors actually match it, iPhone will always be on top. Just look at Note 7 vs iPhone 7+. Speed is miles away. iPhone 7 is the fastest phone in the market which even best the MacBook Air.

Display Mate has already proven that the resolution of the display is not everything. iPhone 7 has the best LCD ever, even better than all the TV panels tested by DM. Going to 2K resolution will waste even more battery with negligible difference.

iPhone has always been about speed, stability, reliability and user friendliness. Their specs is not always the higher end, but they will always be better than their competitors due to hardware and software integration.

Haters will always hate but the test has shown the superiority of the iPhone 7. Even though iPhone 7 has only a rating of IP67, but test has shown that it can stay longer and deeper in water as compared with a Samsung phone which has a rating of IP68.

Apple has always been very humble with their specs and iPhone always outperform what the specs has stated.

All these claims are not by me anyway. All the test can be found in youtube and online. I am also not an apple fanatic but I really admire Apple as a company and how they always break sales record for their iPhone.

When you say "Speed", what speed are you actually referring to? Speed of opening apps? How often does an end user open an app cold?

Best LCD display, yes. But does having a best LCD display equate to The best display?

About staying longer and deeper in water, was this also tested using a scientific method?

I'm not a hater hating on Apple products as you have referred to. My point is simply - you can't come off saying that "iPhone will always be on the top" without strong and compelling qualifications. Neither can you predict the future, because you sure are coming across as one who's able to predict the future when you choose to phrase it the way you did.

By now, both iOS and Android, as operating systems, are already very mature. In fact, the similarities are increasing day by day. There's really no point in trying to say that one's better than the other. Really.

Yup. If apple wants to stay on top, the iPhone 8 needs to be significantly better than the 7.

I'm sure you'll like the speakers, they are much louder and prominent.

I've an iPhone 6+ and am upgrading to a 7+ for two reasons mainly, the dual speakers which will be louder than the 6+... hopefully. With the 6 I can barely listen to a podcast or do a call on speaker in a somewhat noisy environment. The second is the front facing selfie camera. Enough said.

But the real reason, since I'm on contract with SingTel why not take the phone subsidy and recontract voucher?

The reason I wanted to get iPhone 7 is because of its dual speakers, water resistant and the A10 Fusion Chip.

iPhone 6s still lag for some of my games.

My jet black updated shipping notice with tracking number. It should be on its way from China. It's a tracking number of China's main courier. It says arriving 24th. But mine is an office address! 24th is a Sat.

There is no such thing as 'will always be on the top'. Everything will have to come down one day. Just saying if one day, iPhone is no longer on the top, where will iPhone user be? Where are all the Nokia users now?

I agree. Thats why I moved over to samsung hahaha! Android, although not as optimised as iOS, still offers more personalisation and control over the OS (which is quite a huge deal.. but okay luh.. androids are still smooth, just not as smooth and quick as iphones). Moreover, samsung phones have lots of features iphones dont have, like fast charging, high res AMOLED displays, wireless charging, SD card expansion up to 2TB (YEA.. 2TB), dual sim option or 1 micro sim 1 SD card, heartrate sensor, iris scanner and now the headphone jack lol! Cant wait for the S8 tbh!

I feel that apple is merely playing catching up. Water resistance, dual cameras (HTC M8 remember? released in 2014), dual speakers (on HTC phones and nexuses.. plus it is real dual front facing speakers not like iphones' one front facing the other pointing down) are all things that android users have enjoyed since 2 years ago. Just that apple implemented it slightly better (aka android users are like lab rats but of course we get to enjoy it first.) Next year apple would most probably include wireless and fast charging, which is present in almost every android flagship since 2-3 years back. HUGE CHANCE! But by then, new features like iris scanner would be mostly mainstream for samsung phones le haha! And thats just for samsung.

There are still other OEMs with worthy features like modularity on the LGG5, MOTO Z, crazy audio quality on LGV20 etc. Android ecosystem is so full of options and it makes the platform so fun to be part of. Like what an android ad once said, in the world of android, everything is same yet different. Can't wait! And that is why I chose to switch from iphones to androids. 😄😄

iPhone needs not be the top. As long as Apple exists and still continue to produce iPhone, there will be iPhone user

Am supporter of PALM OS smartphones but Palm stop producing Treo smartphone. So switch to Nokia before buying first iPhone 3G.

People can adapt to any OS. Will stay in the OS they prefer and like.

I have many android smartphones but for daily use, it is still iPhone.

Since when here became iOS vs Android thread? Can you guys just stop with these crap debating over and over annually lol... I moved to iOS from Android for pure reason, Optimisation over rushed features. Period

I switched from Android camp too.. I was using too much time trying different custom Roms. Not that they are slow or what, just a bad habit to try different flavor of ROMs.

Now I just use the iOS as is.. Contexr sharing is not as gd as Android but it's getting closer
