So far, everything on my iMac is sync to my samsung S6. Agenda an contacts.. and maybe even some notes. What more do you need to be a part of the ecosystem with your phone? just wondering. Maybe you have some stuff i dont think of right now.
I don't usually like Samsung phones, but this actually looks pretty good.
Best features IMO:
More importantly though, it makes me wonder what Apple is doing. Here's hoping for wireless charging, space black color, 3D touch home button, waterproofing, and a bigger battery in the iPhone 7
Best features IMO:
- S Pen notes on the lock screen: I would definitely use this, seems really convenient to be able to jot something down quickly and have it readily available.
- Iris Scanner: I don't think I'd personally use it, as touchID is already blazing fast, but I still like the concept. Also, being able to lock folders & apps behind a scan is neat.
- 256GB Max Storage: Not really new, but expandable storage is always good, and the free 256GB card w/ preorder is a nice touch
- 3500mAh Battery: Speaks for itself. This is how batteries should be done, period.
- Edge Shortcuts: Again, this isn't exactly new, but I LOVE this feature. I've been using the Edge tweak for iOS, and having quick access to apps, 3D touch toggles, contacts, etc is fantastic. Definitely going to miss this when I update to iOS10.

....and there in lies the age old quandary. You could not entice me in any manner short of taking my Mother in Law for a year to use Marshmallow, Cupcake, Honeydew, Popcorn 5.1.
Exactly! The iPhone 7 is going to be SO much different than the 6S and Way different than the 6!! Bring it on!
Oh wait.......
Sorry I couldn't resist.
Have you tried scanning moist fingerprint or dry one on a damp screen?
Yet you're the one who proved to all of us that you know nothing about processors or software development. If you did, then you wouldn't have made such a stupid comment in the first place.

So where are the sales number for S7 devices?
It is not a dumb argument to worry about all that. It is a dumb argument to sum up the cost of all this audio equipment since there is no scenario where spending that sum would be necessary (or even be a possible alternative scenario). If you don't understand the difference between those two things, I cannot help you.
the pokemon game update will most likely be on the new iphone since more kiddies use that phone. the note series is geared for a more sophisticated / advanced phone user.
It has also never denied it either. If there is no direct evidence, but all the indirect evidence points in the same direction, I'd go with the latter.

The iPad Pro also has a little bit more space for its battery. Tradeoffs are different for every device.

Overall, seems like they did a good job. If I was an android user, I think I'd pick this up.

All this without the horrible antenna bands that deface the current gen iPhone.
No, it doesn't. And yes, you can even write under water.
Also, people already have tested the iris scanner with their contacts on.

Just google Samsung s7 sales , heaps of articles about it, one example http://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/7/13/12171604/galaxy-s7-iphone-6s-plus-sales-data-stats
The 7 will arrive, with or without a headphone jack, the phone itself will surpass the efforts produced by other makers. So yeah, I'm upgrading when it comes out.
I'm an apple representative. Whatever youve said above, I have something to tell you.
Q: 720p display is not enough for you?
A: err, clearly you're looking at the display wrongly.
Q: 16 GB is not enough for your phone?
A: you are clearly using it wrong.
Q: you prefer wireless charging?
A: you are charging your phone in a wrong way, so you do not need any wireless charging.
Q: a water proof phone?
A: if you accidently dropped it into the water, you are clearly using it wrong.
There you go, please do not ask any more questions ever again.
You sir are the demographic Tim Cook is counting on. The user who commits to products even before they are announced.
I've seen the pattern, pretty much every year Apple are about to release a phone, other makers have to get in with their flashy products, but in reality, they fall short of what Apple delivers. We use Samsung phones at work, talk about pretty, plastic feeling and constant crashing os, this is what I base my decision on.
Funny, I didn't see anything official in that Kantar report (which was widely published, so most of those "hits" you talk about in Google are just reprinting the same bogus numbers). All they say is that the S7 had 16% of the US market while the iPhone has 14.6%.
In order to determine percentages you need to know actual sales numbers. But Kantar didn't publish those and I can't find their methodology. So most likely it's based on a survey of some kind (perhaps sales from carrier stores or even direct surveys of customers). And percentages of a market without actual real hard numbers is meaningless.

This article (which was also widely reprinted) claims 26 million S7 sales since it launched. Take out the (almost) 3 weeks it was on sale in the previous quarter ending in March, and the fact Samsung themselves reported record pre-orders in many areas, then it's obvious they sold significantly less than 26 million in the most recent quarter. Even if they sold the same every week and there was no pre-order rush, then we'd be looking at 21 million tops in the recent quarter. So let's be generous and use that number.
So a brand-new flagship (Galaxy S7) being sold for the first 3 months & 3 weeks after launch (when demand is highest) is about half of what Apple sold 9 months after their latest iPhone came out. Please explain how this is impressive?

Yeah, almost as stupid as people claiming they WON'T buy the next iPhone before they know what it's going to be like.
At least the people getting ready to buy have history on their side. I've never bought a new iPhone and ended up disappointed because it had some flaw.
Cause it's a lot more sucessful than the S6.
we get the iPhone is the biggest selling single product each year, though the 6S is not as sucessful as the 6.
So while Samsung has improved sales , Apple has lost sales , simple as that.

I much prefer my iPhone , but the S 7 is not plastic
.
I also have to mention that Android is probably the most insecure OS out there. It's literally the mobile equivalent of Windows 95.
Good luck if you do jump ship. Check back in and let us know about the lag out the box due to the Samsung skin and bloat.
Now this will Kick my iPhone 6s plus ass badly

You still can change your decision,no way iPhone 7 (6 ME)can beat this Galaxy Note 7's ass

You don't need any examples of finger print hacking. I caught my bf cheating on me by simply just putting his finger on touch ID while he was sleeping.
1. I thank apple for coming up with fingerprint scanner that allows me to hack into my ex's phone without having to go through complicated process (just rest his finger on his phone while he's asleep)
2. I failed to see how secure touch Id is when even I can hack into his phone within a few sec.
