Iphone 7 Higher Res Display

[Radon87000]

What does a youtube video have to do with my response. Deflection?

The video was in response to another post.They actually show the iPhone taking that pic in the video.Its not a doctored test

The above is what I quoted and then followed it up by suggestion maybe Samsung didn't copy the right thing, since they themselves admit their mobile sales have tanked.

They don't need to as Apple's sales are also tanking.They have more than enough differentiating features from the iPhone.

It's pretty interesting they didn't copy 3D touch as rumours suggest they were considering to implement it but obviously decided dagainst it.They even copied the Live Photos but NOT 3D touch for which the reason is obvious

Someone doing something first doesn't make it somehow better or someone else that didn't do it worse just because of that. Again, logic doesn't quite work out that way.

They adopted and also invented some of that superior tech.That makes them more flexible and innovative.Apple was the one who made Retina display mainstream first and others later caught on.Who is the innovator here?Apple,not Samsung.If we follow your logic,Microsoft should not be blamed for ONLY now considering building a Surface Phone when it was needed years ago.

 

[Radon87000]

I take pictures with my iPhone 6S all the time and I've never had a picture that bad before o.o

I guess whatever point they're trying to prove isn't going to have an effect on me then.

Then please explain the video?The picture and settings were set in the video itself

Unfortunately we're at deflection and hyperbole. Apples sales are tanking? Can you prove it by stating the ytd financial analysis? I didn't think so. If Samsung is gonna copy they might as well copy the successful implementations like the screen, fingerprint reader and 3D Touch. It certainly might help sales.

I'm pretty neutral in all that's been said in this thread but in regard to the video, I'd like to see more test shots. Tapping to focus in those conditions by as small as centimeters in variance could make all the difference in the iPhone letting in max light to little/no light at all. I'll hold judgement until more tests are out. Do I think the S7 camera is better regardless? Most likely yes. But maybe not by the margins the video seems to indicate.

 

[lagwagon]

Yes problems

The iPhone has a inferior display compared to many Android flagships

The iPhone's camera shutter speed is inferior to Galaxy S7

The iPhone still takes a longer time to charge and also drains quickly

The iPhone's NFC still can't be used for proper file sharing

The iPhone's bezels are ugly compared to many Android flagships

I could go on but you get the point

Apple has patents for microLED (and I believe acquisitioned a company that deals in this tech?) If/When Apple applies this they "could" potentially leapfrog over OLED altogether. Then what? Samsung would have inferior tech.

Inferior shutter speed? I'm not sure you even know what you're talking about there. The s7 has a bigger aperture which lets in more light. And larger pixels that soak in more light. That is why it has better low light performance. That is not shutter speed....Plus the dual lens set up rumoured (from their LinX acquisition) for the 7+ just might make the s7 camera inferior.

iPhones (especially the 6+ and 6s+ are known for some of the best battery life on smartphones) generally don't drain quicker than Samsungs's and is pretty well known as such. Don't claim that as fact just because your particular iPhone 6 for whatever reason has half the battery life of a typical iPhone 6.

Why does an iPhone need NFC for file sharing when there is Airdrop?

The bezels being ugly is purely a personal taste thing. Just as edge to edge screens are ugly to some as well. Wether you like them or not, bezels provide an actual function (top and bottom give you something to hold while in landscape)

Yeah, the connection between the whole "problems" part of it and anything that followed is basically non-existent. Logic still seems be on a break, as it often seems to be. Can't say much of anything else was expected, so I guess it's all good, as far as "good" can go in relation to all that.

Can u please provide data showing Apple sales are tanking? Lol.

It's so funny that because a phone like the s7 has just been released people think all a sudden Apple is in trouble or that Apple needs to step it up. Go get a s7 then or whatever you want that will make you satisfied.

Lol when a new android phone comes out you see people like "oh Apple better bring it" or "Apple needs to step it up". It's like they need acknowledgement like a little brother or something.

Success breeds envy.

I'd rather have my "inferior" 1080p display and lack of SD card support knowing my devices are going to be updated for many years to come.

I don't care about a higher res display when all that does is harm battery life for no visible difference.

I don't care about SD support when I can just back things up to OneDrive and my desktop (and let's be frank, I don't do much with my phone but listen to music, stream YouTube videos, and take pictures)

I don't care about the chunky bezels because they actually give me something to hold on to. They line up perfectly with even the chunkiest pair of thumbs I've ever loaned my iPhone to for a second. That, and I don't mind the look.

Apple may be a prison... If you like your cell to be a five star hotel with the finest service available.

This thread is the a perfect example of what MacRumors forums her become. Sigh. This place used to be so much better.

Just like how Apple only copes the successful part of Apple's iPhone,Samsung also does the same.3D Touch hasnt caught on.One of my colleagues has it and he has even forgotten about the feature in day to day use.Very limited number of apps support it as well.

The sales are dropping and its only a matter of time before there is a sharp decline.This is just the tip of the iceberg.The Galaxy S7 as of NOW has THE BEST screen and the MOST beaustiful design.Its obvious being Apple's competitor their phone will be judged by those standards which is why people think Apple is in trouble unless they correct the shortcomings in the next iPhone

Get to the point already.Tired of these rambling replies.State concrete arguments on why you believe the iPhone design doesnt have flaws compared to the S7.When a particular aspect of a phone is improved,it implies the feature it succeeded was detrimental to user experience

- 3d touch; a sample size of one on which to base a generalization. OK. In addition, I'm betting Samsung couldn't figure out how to do it in the S7 so that it "just works".
- Bloomberg; article just regurgitates what has been said without providing any proof it is currently happening.
- iphone has the most iconic design, like BMW, you can tell an iphone from a mile away.
- People thinking/wishing apple is in trouble are in a dreamland. With 200billion of cash in the bank, they are doing fine and are in a much better state than their competitors.

[diamond.g]

I don't know if a higher resolution screen is that helpful. Especially if it requires substantial GPU power to render the UI.

Of course if it were higher I wouldn't complain.

 

[Elisha]

I don't buy the sales is tanking theory. Basically everyone that wants one has already gotten it within the first few months and the last few months will have lesser sales unless Apple decides to drop prices and carriers heavily discount them. No product cycles has a higher sales midway trough its introduction cycle.
The S7 will enjoy this as well until the new Note series is released.
Samsung miscalculated the last time and produced more flat S6 than the Edge and lost out because they couldn't keep up with the demand.
Either way, sales figures hardly tell us if one product is better than another.
Ignorance and being oblivious as to what's out there is what partially drives sales figures!

My arguments have been stated many times and just get ignored either on purpose or not with all kinds of deflections and other ploys thrown in to go off on some other tangent.

I didn't know u and a colleague make up the entire consensus on the usefulness of a feature. Apple must care only about you and your friend then lol.

The s7 has nice hardware no doubt. It also just released. How about waiting til the iPhone 7 is released to proclaim Apple is in a sharp decline?

"Just a matter of time before a sharp decline." Wow that's so narrows it down. Sooner or later it may happen. Way to be an expert. Just keep saying that every year. Seems like those people been saying this every year and yet we still have the iPhone here don't we? Lol

 

[nj1266]

Well what would you call Comparing a 720P screen to a 2K screen of Samsung and a 4K screen of Sony?No exaggeration at all

What is the Display on the 4.6 inch Xperia z5c? If you want to compare, then compare similar sized phones.

 

[cracksoup]

What is the Display on the 4.6 inch Xperia z5c? If you want to compare, then compare similar sized phones.

Exactly. Everyone compares the iPhone 6S to 5.1" and bigger flagship phones. Apple's real flagship is the 6S+ and that has a gorgeous display. Z5c has a 720p display but nobody complains about that.

 

[Truefan31]

People just wanna rip the iPhone because it's the number one selling flagship. It's lonely at the top lol

How many apps actually use 3D touch in a productive way?How many out of the entire App Store adopted it?Answer:A negligible percent

Lol at Samsung unable to install 3D touch when a company Like Huawei already did it in their Mate smartphone at MWC.It was not copied because it was not worthy enough to be copied

The Bloomberg article was written by an experienced financial analyst?Are you implying you know more than him and Tim Cook himself?

Sony has their Omnibalance design.Samsung Galaxy has a trademark design.HTC design with their front speakers is instantly recognizable.Your point?

It's not the 200 billion which counts,The point is the product which resulted in that 200 billion in the first place is experiencing a sharp decline

Come off it. Samsung do not have a trade mark design at all. The S7/S6 look nice don't get me wrong and some will even prefer it to the iPhone. However let's not pretend that Samsung came up with this design themselves. The design is a hybrid between the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 4 (glass back). I'm not here to start a copying debate because I actually don't care but let's not try and pass off the design as a Samsung trade mark.

-3D touch too bad Sammy couldn't engineer it.
- Bloomberg does the article have the actual ytd numbers for comparison? Writing an opinion piece is easy. Saying the actual numbers at the end of the quarter is tough.
- justin beiber he's laughing all the way to the bank
- iPhone design is iconic your flat out wrong about being able to tell a generic android phone vs iPhone at a distance.
- the 200b is an insurance policy for them to weather any storm

 

[Quicklite]

I'd rather if they left the resolution as it is / doubled up (probably time too) - though Apple's apparently thinking of AMOLED - so I'd rather they switch res when that happens. Doing it earlier might introduce more app incompatibility.
