Of course a smaller drive is going to write slower. The controller has to figure out where it's going to put the data and it doesn't have that much room to put it compared to a 256 GB drive. What a stupid article

"... controller has more access to the NAND flash memory chips..."
Er, that should probably read "... controller has access to more NAND flash memory chips..."
The former implies the controller can access the chips in more ways, while the latter tells it like it is, there are more chips available.

Except without style.
Sure, people are dumb...they'll watch sensationalized videos that become a big story because they've been linked and re-linked. He continued to churn out additional videos bending the phone in different ways, all in the name of page views. I call that shilling.
Shilling is pushing a product for money even when the pusher isn't truly behind the product.
He wasn't doing that. He got a story with traction and anyone with a brain would follow that story to capitalize if it meant supporting them self.
What do you mean by cheap? Buying a 32gb device is being cheap?
And so it begins....
So what about the battery life and performance of iPhone 7 Intel vs Qualcomm modems? T-Mobile/AT&T vs Verizon/Sprint?
Let's get it on,

Exactly! Just look at the recent Samsung 960 Pro review on anandtech.com. Larger storage capacities results in faster performance within the same drive family.
By the way this article made it sound, I believe this difference is true to all NAND flash memory chips, no matter the phone. I could be wrong though. I'm no expert.
But my point is his credibility that's in question, not his business acumen. He capitalized on a story when he could have stopped.
Shilling can also refer to someone who purposely promotes a person or product without disclosing that they have a financial stake in the matter.
Not sure how Unbox Therapy even got popular. He over-exaggerates his expressions too much; it's so annoying
Ever since he started that whole "bendgate" with the iPhone 6 Plus, I've lost respect for him. Now he's just gotten annoying and redundant.
While the 32gb model may be slower than its larger brethren, it's still faster than the 6S's SSD. Also I don't think the person buying the 32gb model will care... someone writing lots of content needing the speed would have at least 128
Why is he screaming??
He got a point the 32gb model is really slow in write speed almost like 5400 rpm drive

I see this as a non-issue. If the iPhone had capacity of say... 5TB, then sure... it would be slower to copy stuff to it. For 32GB? WHO. CARES? Read speeds are the thing that is most important 99.999999999% of the time, and hey.... guess what? The 32GB is just as fast as any other model.
