The OS is built differently though with a different software so more ram is needed. Doesn't mean that's a bad thing.
A few had some negative thoughts but generally most of the reviews have been very good on YouTube with many thinking it's the best device of 2016. Not everybody will agree of course. Think in terms of smoothness iPhone is the best but people have more than speed on their list of what they want from a phone.
I could only look at so many reviews, but I have to have the device in my hand to make my decision. Played with the S7 Edge in the store and was easily impressed... but still had to give it try. If I'm not satisfied... I'll just return it. Just because I tried it and now use it as my daily driver... doesn't mean I don't enjoy iOS anymore. Like I've mentioned many times... I use my 6+ and iPad daily... I just like enjoying new tech no matter what platform. Even if I did have a bad experience with the S7 and touchwiz... I wouldn't post here to convince others not to try it or justify staying with iOS. My experience doesn't not always equal what others may think. I've had no issues transitioning from iOS to android/touchwiz... probably because my iPhones are usually jailbroken since the 3g iPhone and use similar tweaks. I could see why some iOS users would be frustrated with touchwiz. My wife gets frustrated with my jailbroken 6+... LOL... There is a learning curve to learning android and touchwiz coming from iOS... but people had to learn iOS when they first iPhone also. I'm not trying to convince people to jump ship... I still think if they are comfortable, happy, and dependent on Apple ecosystem, they are better off staying with iOS. The techie part if me likes to try new things no matter what platform.
Agreed
I meant that I'm buying the iPhone 8 and skipping the 7s.You mean you're going to keep the 7 and bypass the 8 next year and wait for the 8s.
"Following Apple's standard naming scheme, with a numeric increase during even years to mark external design changes and an "S" increase during odd years to denote internal feature updates only, the 2017 iPhone would be called the "iPhone 7s."
Given the major changes Apple plans to introduce to the iPhone in 2017, it seems unlikely the device will receive an "S" name, so there's a good chance Apple may decide to skip directly to the next full number, naming the 2017 iPhone the iPhone 8. "
2007 - iPhone
2008 - iPhone 3G
2009 - iPhone 3GS
2010 - iPhone 4 (new design)
2011 - iPhone 4s
2012 - iPhone 5 (new design)
2013 - iPhone 5s
2014 - iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (new design)
2015 - iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus
2016 - iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
2017 - iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus
"iPhone 8 is a tentative name for the device -- it has not yet been confirmed by Apple -- but it seems to be the most logical choice for a major update. There's always the possibility Apple will call it something else or make 2017 the year it moves away from a numbered iPhone naming scheme."
I also feel the same, I wish there was an in between size... sigh its never going to happen with Apple...
Part of the CPU which is an integral part of the phone functioning.Obviously a feature.Its mentioned in the specifications for a reason
So even the aesthetics are a feature. If apple moves the fcc id up 1 inch it's a feature? I think the definition has been stretched on this one. You wouldn't say the frame around the Mona Lisa is a feature; or maybe you would? Typical examples of what a feature is, is something that does something rather than an aesthetic quality. So I don't agree, however, if that's your opinion of a feature, who am I to disagree?Part of the CPU which is an integral part of the phone functioning.Obviously a feature.Its mentioned in the specifications for a reason
lol it's not an opinion. It's a fact.No one likes an ugly phone matter how fast or smooth it is.Why do you think design is given an entire section for itself in phone reviews?
Its not ugly but it's not Apple's best design either.They need to shave off the bezels.The iPhone 6s Plus is positively a giant in front of the S7
Whether it's the nicest looking or not is purely subjective I would say. Many polls suggest the iPhone 4 was the nicest design but I preferred the 5. So who is wrong? Nobody because aesthetics are always subjective and probably the only topic where there is no actual fact.
Tell that to someone who sells frames...
Also much easier to break, ask the s7. I don't know what Apple will do, but we will see.
Features as used in the context of the definitions I've read are active not passive. So is a frame is not a feature. But if the frame had a built in light show that would be a feature. A frame is a decorative edging. We are so far astray lol.
Well you can turn it as you wish, but saying that a new cpu, a new gpu a new camera and more ram are not features.....it is self commenting!
Yes, becase it is an integral part of the piece of Art.A feature of the picture is a picture frame? Well okay then.
"A feature of the of the car" is the racing stripe, is different than "the car features a racing stripe", even though it can be said the racing stripe protects the paint underneath vs "a feature of the car is a new 5 liter supercharged engine that can propel the to 60 in...". I do not hear people talking like the former, but do talking like the latter, do you? A feature of the door is a door knob? Well I guess so especially if the first doors were lacking them. Anyway...
