How can you tell when a person knows NOTHING about processor design or software development?
When they bring up the lame argument that 64bit is useless without 4GB of RAM.
Got a tip for us?

Ah ok that explains the inflated numbers. 4 years passed by quickly, but it seems even quicker when they skip numbers.
As for what I'm "banging on about", in your haste to be as obnoxiously condescending as possible you appear to have missed my point. Indeed, the latest model will come with the latest OS - they tend to use it as a selling point. That's what I was getting at - the latest OS is a selling point for the new model so last year's model gets left in the cold for several months, at least in my past experience of Samsung and HTC.
Maybe they've improved since then, I don't know, I doubt it. I'd put money on the Note 7 either being released with Nougat or getting it within a week or two, and the Note 5 not seeing Nougat for much longer - maybe 6 months or more. That's what I was getting at. This can be very frustrating if you like to have the latest version as typically they also don't give a timeframe and just say they either don't comment or have no plans.
This won't matter to Note 7 users right now, as they'll have the latest and greatest. Next year when the Note 8 and Android "O" (8.0) are out? Expect to be waiting a long time for Android "O" to come to your Note 7, is all I'm saying.
32bit code will run faster until you start loading over 4gb of code in the bus.
Ah more ad-hominem attacks.
So you are basically admitting iris scanning is a gimmick as it won't work in certain circumstances. Got it.

Compiled 64 bit applications will run faster than compiled 32 bit applications on a 32 bit processor due to wider bus optimizations etc. do you have any benchmarks on specific applications or are we just debating based on general knowledge?
Actually being drunk changes iris color and even constrict them, I7guy just couldn't come up with a better argument. Lmao.
While I agree with your comment about the phones being a delivery mechanism, I do believe there is a difference in quality of product and service that the device provides. Many of the services you mentioned require a subscription for full functionality. Apple provides many of the services for free. Apple's ecosystem is very relevant and Samsung would love to have it and is trying hard to emulate it versus relying on Google. #Facts
Not sure why you went to the insecurity comment? Online forums invite opinions, comments, and debates. My opinion and comments only matter if you take it personal and allow them to have power. Relax.
Omg! I'm so happy when you say this! So you admit that fingerprint scanner aka touch ID is a gimmick too for not working with wet fingers?! Hahaha. Oh, you just couldn't surprised me more. What an irony. Lmao
Oh! And making a phone more secure and not letting people to hack while someone is drunk proves that iris scanner is more secure. You get it?
Also, please just use one account here at macrumors. Using more than one account (Black magic) is just not working anymore lol
If the competition starts creating better products, it's critical for Mac users to be aware of this. The reason Windows was so successful despite being so poor is almost all Windows users didn't ever know about anything else, so they just assumed Windows was the best it gets. If Mac users don't stay informed, they can't put pressure on Apple to provide a better experience.
Notice, Apple went against Steve Jobs and finally offered bigger screen options because so many people wanted them. Maybe at some point they will have to offer a headphone jack again, too. The fact that other phones still have one puts a huge amount of pressure on Apple by showing us customers that it is still technically feasible to do so.
So in summary - yes - I would consider competing products of great interest to Mac Rumor readers. They're not even rumors - they're really here.
That's it - keep talking and further proving your lack of knowledge.

Pretty self explanatory.
I used to get much better battery time also, especially when new, but also with 9.3.1. Then iOS 9.3.2 happened. I've tried doing some things to remedy but nothing has worked so far.
Agreed. Looks like the military agrees as well..

Idk, my 6s works when my fingers are wet. Or the scanner has coffee on it. I'm happy to hear you agree iris scanning is a gimmick. Have a drink and it doesn't work. However I suppose in your vein of logic I could get a hold of pupil dialing drugs, get my friend drunk and hack his phone by putting drops in his eyes. There is no end to the deviousness, is there?Omg! I'm so happy when you say this! So you admit that fingerprint scanner aka touch ID is a gimmick too for not working with wet fingers?! Hahaha.

I must admit that the Note7 looks like a solid phone and it's most certainly a step up from my Note5 and I presume in a few ways it'll be better than the iPhone 7 in terms of display, HDD, and the improved stylus but the Apple ecosystem... Can't escape it!
I have a s6 edge plus, it's had marshmallow for a long time, last year's model on the latest and greatest eh, what's that all about. Nougat isn't even out yet isn't.it? How can the note ship with it?
And when you put "maybe they've improved, I don't know.." that why you get accused of banging on, you are commenting on stuff you don't know.

So you admit it runs smoothly, finally we have a break through.

No, because there's no Android software to take advantage of 64bit. How can it be "done right" when it's not even being used?
Wouldn't hold my breath...
Samsung waterproof claims don't hold water...or should I say it does hold water...in the phone...where it shouldn't.
"My" = 1.
And the sad fact is that we don't even know if you're telling the truth.
Its Time to step outside into the real world, everyone knows the iPhone fingerprint scanner doesn't work with fingers being wet. Or if you don't believe, just search on YouTube? Are you aware that YouTube even exist?
"Drug him, put drops" that's a stretch to your arguement but ok.
What about "drug him, put eye drops and OPEN HIS EYELID" vs. resting finger on the sensor while some is asleep without having to use drug and no eye drops needed lol.
I'm sure you will say iris hacking is still easier! Hahaha
Wow, Rogers is really scamming Canadian this time..
when you look at the S7 Edge: full price 1009$, with 2y contract = 399$
Note 7 full price 1049$: 2y contract = 559$
the price difference is 40$ but they're charging 150$ for it.
the Note7 with Bell is 449$ (2 years) which seems normal ($CDN)

I got banned from AI because I was too critical about Apple. To be precisely: everybody gets banned from Apple Insider if you're critical about Apple.
I think it's healthy for Apple to read that their loyal customers are dissatisfied with the situation of no new macs (pro), incremental updates and outrageous pricing. I think any other tech company would already be bankrupt at this pace of innovation. It's past time for Apple to wake up and think about customers first instead of money and politics.
OS updates aren't as necessary there. Security updates are pushed out regularly. Stock apps are constantly updated via the Play Store, unlike iOS where they're only updated via an entire OS update, which comes out rarely itself.
I can never understand why people are so incredibly tied to one thing and fail to keep an open mind about other platforms. Be interested in what you want, but being intolerable of today's alternatives is a big ignorant.
And it's not just now tolerable. It's always been completely usable, as is iOS. It's just been accelerating over the past few years.
Who said I hate Apple so much? Don't make assumptions.
The user is to blame. They're trying to insert something in a way not originally intended. That is the user's fault. Simple. Of course, creating a way to where damage can't be done is optimal, it's still up to the user to use their devices properly.
I was actually comparing my cheap, $200 Galaxy J7 and my iPhone 6 Plus. Facebook on the J7 launches and is usable in under a second. 6+? Several seconds. Want a video? Actually, I'm not making one. Your fanboyism isn't worth it. *inb4 you respond with how I don't want to make a video means that what I said isn't true*
What was your comment about 64-bit Android apps? I must've missed it. I'll address it if you bring it up again.
