So where is the micro led you mentioned?
Search YouTube and you will see Samsung actually has PRODUCED the products I mentioned.

I'm not saying anything...I'm just pointing out apple was granted a patent.

you don't have to say anything. We can base it off things you have said in the past. If Apple comes out with a bendable display to mass market with 7s and samsung comes out with it after with Galaxy S9 you will say Samsung copied Apple.
If Samsung releases bendable display for S8 and Apple releases it for the iphone 8, you will say Samsung implementation is half baked and Apple did it right.
Samsung never "wins" in your mind. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I'm being serious and I never say this, are you trolling now? You are being prescient and tell me exactly what I am going to say, when I haven't said those things in the past.
And you are right, Samsung doesn't win lately, at least in my eyes wrt to TV, as they have neutered my 1.5 year smart tv with firmware that has steadily reduced the functionality since the day I got it, but that's another topic of discussion. As far as phones, I have my preferences.
Isn't that the same with any phone manufacturer? Do you think someone who buys the S7 knows what android is? They buy the samsung logo.
okay I won't bother getting into it.
Rule of thumb: Never buy smart TVs no matter the brand. They are usually slower and more clunky compared to buying a separate product to make your TV "smart". (Apple tv, Roku, etc).
EDIT: an example of something you said in the past recently that you prefer iPhone LCD vs Samsung QHD super amoled. So when Apple goes OLED I can safely assume you will still prefer the LCD of the past right? Or will you say "Apple got the color right and samsung screen color was wrong?"

Anyone like to bet that If Apple change over to AMOLED screen, they will not just say we're using one of Samsungs great Super AMOLED screens, but come up with some "we invented this ourselves" presentation, where they show on the BIG screen how the tech works and all the Apple only aspect of it which will make it, THE most advanced and accurate display every to be put onto any smartphone.
And probably come up with a unique brand name for it, which will be used to make it sound better also?

Why don't you wait when and if that happens with respect to an unannounced technology comes to fruition?

Yah man, the farce flows in all directions; it knows no bounds.
Announced....kinda like the micro led you mentioned "ahhh contradictory is he" patent does not mean product will ever be made.Why don't you wait when and if that happens with respect to an unannounced technology comes to fruition?

"No Apple will leap frog with micro-led. Let Samsung keep their technology." ....you should probably take your own advice.
Here's where it becomes silly. Nobody knows what apple will announce and what technologies are in future iphones and when. Sure patent does not mean product, but on the other hand, acquisitions such as this: http://www.macworld.com/article/1167917/apple_acquires_fingerprint_scanner_firm_authentec.html accelerated the biggest revolution in mobile device fingerprint scanning, which became the benchmark. Who knows there micro-led research and bendable oled panels might end up.
Acquisitions like the liquid metal firm huh? That was what 5 years ago? Still no liquid metal products. You should give up now. You're contradicting yourself again. You complain about future Samsung products while touting some unannounced products from apple.
Let's stop with the "whose contradicted who" stuff. This board is to discuss mobile technology and discuss is what happens here. Nobody knows where any of this stuff leads. If you don't like apples acquisition strategy take it up with them. I correctly gave one example of an acquisition that revolutionized some aspect of mobile phone technology.
The iPhone 7 doesn't need an SD card because it has sufficient internal memory if the user needs it they can purchase up to 128GB. There are also rumours that the 7 may even come with 256GB. Internal memory is superior to external storage. 3D Touch negates the need for a curved screen in terms of functionality.
The rumours all suggest that the camera will be improved and that the iPhone 7 will be water proof and will use wireless charging.
Just so I can get this clear in my mind.
You are saying that, IF Apple gave memory size options at time of purchase AND also allowed the user to upgrade with a micro SD card if, they found in the future they wanted more storage to simply hold, let's say "user data"
And at this same time, Samsung had no micro SD card slot, and forced a Samsung buyer to sell their current phone and have to re-buy one with a larger capacity as a MUCH inflated price.
You would dam Apple, and fully support Samsungs policy?
Yes?
I'm not daming either of them. All I'm saying is that an SD card is only advantageous to me if a phone does not have sufficient internal storage. If I was given the choice I'd always choose to buy more internal storage than have less internal storage and use an SD card. Last year Samsung offered the S6 in 128GB. If they offered the S7 with 128GB internal storage and an SD card slot then I would say that they are offering more than Apple.
I think the did it for two reasons:
People complained about the SD card being missing in the S6 and they are desperate to turn their sales around so they are trying everything they can to try and figure out why people aren't buying the phones as they did in the past. They are going back to things they removed to see if they can win back customers.
I think that the 128GB s6/S6 edge didn't sell that well. As when they released the S6 edge plus later in the year they only made it available in 32GB and 64GB. In some regions it was only available in 32GB sans an SD card slot. I think android users are not prepared to pay a lot for more internal storage as they have been used to topping it up with an SD card. Apple users on the other hand have never had the option of buying an SD card and therefore have to pay to increase their internal storage.
I wish people would stop complaining about the lack of SD cards.
..... SD cards are utterly useless. Now all the Android manufacturers only offer 32gb internal storage max which often equates to around 20 gb in real life.
I would much prefer a 128gb internal storage option.
What is worse is that Samsung, Sony and LG do not offer the Adoptable Storage feature of Marshmallow.
Typical android cheapos who just want cheap storage to pirate all their vids and porn.
Cue all the folk who say 16gb is enough for them....... because the dont pay for real apps that require data to be stored internally.

Would you say the battery life is as good as the iPhone 6S plus?
I'll look at the reviews. I still have a decent upgrade. So I could still get the S7 as a secondary phone.
I have the 6s+ and S7 edge. My 6s+ is still battery king for me. But it doesn't have to work quite as hard as the other two because of the lower resolution display it has.
Also love having the SD card as well. These days when a super fast 128GB SD Card can be had for about $50 it really adds to the overall functionality of the devices.
I posted this on another thread but it applies here as well. Samsung is getting all kinds of praise for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge for design and innovation.

Has anyone made the switch from iPhone to the new S7 edge? If so what do you think? Can you put apps and pics on the SD card at all?
