Fair enough - but I don't think you're in the majority. Also - with VR gaining ground, there's a definite argument for much better resolution screens.

@dannys1 if there was ever a "phone hipster", you are truly being one right now.
"I'm too cool to be bothered looking at my phone screen like kids these days". lol. keep digging.

1. As I said 128gb is still plenty for a mobile device. (I deleted nothing and 64gb is too much for me)
2. Thats not a usage case. You can just say "increased functionality" what can't you do now you could do with file management? Because I can manage all the files I need in iOS in the apps they're in and get them to wherever I want them to be. I don't see how a separate finder like app would help this in anyway.

Is this a joke? I mean it looks like an attempt at a joke, but it fails dramatically like only a nerd could.
Quite interested in VR but honestly I don't think id want to use a mobile phone to do it when there are going to be excellent goggles for it.
To be fair though i'm of the school of thought of buying the best device you can that excels at what its intended for. Most people seem to want to be £500 for something which attempts to do everything they can think of. I think the iPad Pro is a worthy purchase just to run Logic Remote in on a large touchscreen devices..most people seem to want to buy one so they no longer need to use a laptop or they don't get it.
I'm definitely in the minority, i'm always in the minority .
Ummm you do know it all has to do with how the display is calibrated right? Go watch a calibrated oled tv and tell me the colours look terrible. Probably looks over boosted and oversaturated to you because you're used to looking at displays that have terrible black levels.
What works for you is not universal. If I had a terabyte on my phone I would fill it up because I can. Apps can't be stored and run from the cloud either and I have a LOT of apps on my phone ... with a few of them being a gig or more in size. We can shoot video in 4K as well now ... and that can eat up chunks of space depending on the length of the video. Storage size for portable devices is becoming more important all the time.
For starters ... it eliminates the need to use iTunes in order to transfer so many things to the iPhone. You can customize your folders and drag and drop as you please without having to be tied to an app to do all your transferring for you. You can use your phone as a storage device with complete freedom. Apple doesn't need to open up vulnerabilities to the phone in order to have a proper file system. But the marriage to iTunes with the iPhone is very obnoxious ... especially if you consume a lot of offline media.
Those require the cloud. How is this a hard concept to grasp?
Yes "LOL" because you're asking for things and no ones given one good real life use purpose for it. There's already multi file management in Dropbox and iCloud Drive apps.
I'll have to see if Iphone 7 or an Android phone is for me next. After many years, I might say good bye! I think Apple has fallen behind in many aspects, not just screens.
IOs doesn't have a file system, Galaxy phones have better batter life last longer, and Apple Siri sucks compared to Google now...
There you go again. You are just too cool for all of us nerds man. Only cool guys like you defend phone screens on an internet forum dedicated to Apple fanatics.
I would believe it, some of them hate it just because it's Google and have never even so much as touched it to try it.
So by "file system" you don't actually mean within iOS, you mean you want to be able to plug your device into the computer and access files as if it were a USB stick? I'm pretty sure there are ways to do this quite easily if you so wish - many apps let you browse the file system like this.
I haven't use iTunes to sync anything the phone for about 4-5 years now. Airdrop and Instashare sorts out getting files and the clipboard from/to OS X. All other media is in Spotify, Apple Music and Photo library.
If you don't trust the article, why are we discussing the article?
Next time, just tell people you don't believe what you're reading here. Save us all a lot of time.
I'm sure this will become clear once full reviews are in especially from anandtech.
Refinements and improvements to the display tech. Samsung is very progressive with their displays. Nothing is recycled from one generation to the next without real improvements.
I didn't say it was falling behind, I said quite the opposite. "It is definitely there" however I said the sloppy OS makes it feel slower. Still an incredible SoC though, is rivaling with lower-mid end macbooks...
Your reply to me makes no sense. I'm discussing the facts related to OLED screens vs IPS. Do you believe everything you read? Do you engage in conversations to dispute things you find inaccurate? So again, I put it out to you - where are the facts that current OLED screens have a shorter lifespan than IPS?
What are you talking about? By a file system in iOS I mean a file system in iOS. That was a usage example which you asked for. No I don't want my phone to just be a glorified USB stick. The way you access files with a file system in a phone allows you to do more with your files on the phone as well. You have clearly never used an Android device. I don't really care what you have and haven't used in the last 4-5 years, you were given logical examples and you're still curbing them to appease whatever viewpoint it is you have. Offline file management is very useful. The cloud requires ... the cloud ... and you keep talking about cloud examples. -.-
He apparently is.
Always wondered why Apple is so late to the game with OLED ? The displays are by the same company.
Seems Apple is late to the game with allot of things as of recently.. This can only mean one thing........ Workers are getting slack... Tim cook needs to stand and whip the engineers.
Now, that's slave labor

Ahh appreciate you taking the time. It still seems to look way better than any thing with fast motion on any LCD panel that I've seen. The motion compensation stuff on LCD is just annoying. Either way, I was planning on waiting at least another year so prices go down a bit before making the leap, hopefully it's a bit more of a solid technology by then. Thanks again.
I have just been playing with one in Carphonewarehouse and it is really a staggeringly good looking phone. i just preordered it there and then (demoed the VR,which clinched it for me). The screen really is nice and the blacks look great with what is effectively a bezel free look. My first Samsung since the original Note. The sidebar loading system works really well, which is part of the touchwiz skin?
I have both an Android and iOS and both are fast and both stutter and are sluggish at times. Sorry but thats the truth.
Samsung Note 3 and iPhone 6.
It's not really hardware issues per say, more it's being further behind in technology. The 6S is what the 6 should've been with a 4k camera and 2GB of RAM + 3D touch. With two years of 3D touch, it would be a lot more useful and refined. I have hiccups with software due to being a beta tester though, so my speakers are inconsistent probably due to that.

To be fair, there is no requirement to own an iOS device to be here. If you want to talk about Apple products, this is the place to be. But if a device requirement existed, I hope my MBP cuts it
