No. There is a performance gain in higher capacity, but never twice as much. 8x is not normal at all

If the test is valid, 8X is like ssd v hd.
Got a tip for us?

He is constantly trending on YouTube and I know he has a strong following, but his video's and the way he conducts himself is absolutely obnoxious. Other forum members have mentioned he appears intoxicated during filming, is this a regular occurrence for him or something? Anyways, my 32 GB is plenty fast. Didn't need to waste my time watching his video.
Fanboys: "This is normal"
Rest of the world: "SMH"

His videos were used to be good. I mean, with a more serious tone for the stuff he's reviewing/unboxing. Nowadays, he yells at the mic like he's drunk, laughing like a buffoon. His voice is so damn annoying.
Unsubscribed him.
More like the high cost of cheap internals to save a few pennies.

It's definitely noticeable when you're transferring things to your device.
So when you get to the last 32gb of free space of your 256gb device, will it be the same speed as a 32gb device? Serious question, I didn't know about these speed differences.
I can't believe I'm saying this...
But this might be the 'gate' of the iPhone 7 era everyone has been seeking for...

For people claiming this is normal behaviour, please read a review of how performance is effected by disk size. 8x is NOT normal.

Here's my iPod touch 32gb benchmark, which curiously has almost double the storage write speed.

Not being a grammar nazi or anything like that, but can any of my American cousins answer whether the first sentence of the article is just an American way of saying things or is it sloppy writing.................
"A couple weeks ago etc. etc.........."
To me it should be 'A couple of weeks ago etc. etc.' (an 'of' has been added)
Just curious if it's an American English thing!

noticed my 7 was slower than my 64 gb 6s when i was doing backups. disappointing but not surprising. apple 2016...
Does the fact the app hasn't been updated since 2012 & the fact that 64 bit message about may performance make any difference?
Just curious
Just curious
"A couple of weeks" is correct. "A couple weeks" is just bad grammar, not American English.
This writing speed case is interesting just as a fact, however ... for real world performance...not worth making any problem out of it IMO.
P.S. I installed 10.1 (B4)...maybe that is why I get ~80Mb and not 40Mb...( ? )
Anyone know what tpu/rubberized case with the metal buttons he is using for the phone running the timer? It's also pictured here in one of his tweets and in the corresponding video. https://twitter.com/UnboxTherapy/status/786640308125794304
My 6S 255. That would be 6x faster than the 7
Note just reran it and got 280, so 6-7 times faster
I assume your 6s is either 64GB or 128GB? Does anybody have a 16GB 6s to test it against the 32GB 7?
[doublepost=1476865429][/doublepost]
This is the thing I'm curious about. Assuming the Lightning port on the 7/7+ is still USB2.0 and the theoretical max speed of 2.0 is 480Mbps which is equals to 60MB/s. That means my 32GB 7+ is hitting max speed on the USB2.0 since it's write speed is 60-70MB/s.
So how is it possible that the movie transfer test that Hilsenteger did in his video showed a ~50secs difference between the 32GB and 256GB models?
The movie he transferred is a 4GB+ file. And the time difference between both devices is definitely not 8x like shown in benchmarks. So sometimes benchmarks only tells so much.
Therefore I assume normal consumers will never really feel the difference because transferring a 4-5GB file to your phone is not a thing you do everyday and you'll never have both the 32GB and 256GB side by side to compare anyways.

Ok this is an explanation taken from another website:
This is flash channels in play.
More capacity, more flash chips, more (parallel) channels the phone has.
Which translate to faster R/W, same behavior from SSD.
Usually max speed is hit when all the available channels are used (8 channels maybe?).
And to give good user experience, more mainstream capacity will be picked to utilize all the channels, in this case 128GB.
This translates to 128GB/8 channels (I assume) = 16GB/die
On 32GB variant, it could be using 8GB/die or 16GB/die flash, which mean only using 4 channels or 2 channels. Theoretically half or even quarter speed of the 128GB capacity variant.
For 256GB variant, it can use 8 channels * 32GB/die flash, of total 256GB capacity with same speed. This way manufacturer don't have to produce different flash controller to handle different capacity, changing the flash size will do.

As someone who has been following tech for a long time, stop trying to find problems with tech and just enjoy it. If you had an iphone 3GS in the year '99 your mind probably have exploded in amazement about 3 times.
There are some real problems (like screen discoloration, faulty drives) then there are problems that people want to create to complain (slower transfer speeds between iphone models, antenna gate)
