Lol. We have been reading this line times without number. Why did Apple increased the ram to 2GB for the 6s variants? Why will Apple increase it to 3GB for the next iphone?

We heard how 1GB was more than enough. Why the additions?

Like greenhulk said, Apple up their RAMs only when necessary. Samsung on the other hand will keep adding an extra RAM to every new release all in a bid to persuade power seekers like you to buy not knowing that the utility of a phone is beyond the RAM. The actual power of a device is embedded in its processor and that is why till today AMD is still playing catch up with intel. In other words it lies in the quality of the product. Have you seen the video that is presently going viral where a 2GB iPhone 6S disgraced the almighty 4GB Note 7?

ollah1:
Calm your nerves bro. This is exact thing that people complain about iusers. To you, it's only apple that doesn't things best. Apple is yet to use Amoled on phones but you have already concluded that Apple iphones Amoled will be better than Samsungs.

Did you just tag Android buggy? Lol. Incase you don't know IOS has been more buggy than Android since IOS 7. iOS 8 was even the worst despite people complaining of Lollipop it was more stable than iOS, likewise it's immediate predecessor and successor.

You talk without facts, your arguments are not evidence based. You live on hear-says. We deal with first hand privileged infos. The point you called Antutu benchmark trash is where I gave up on you.

ollah1:
My brother I've stated earlier than Android is a battery hogger and it's a known fact but the bolded statement got me thinking. Better than Samsung in what department (s)?

In handling basic tasks flawlessly. In being able to go to work without the fear of a sudden battery drain. In putting your mobile phone in your pocket and not having to carry a fire extinguisher in case of accidental fire from phone overheating

ollah1:
That Samsung hypes of super AMOLED will be hitting iphones next year and we will hear words like. IT'S REVOLUTIONARY. But as always isheeps don't know Samsung supply Apple with loads of parts.

Btw. Virtual Reality says hi to you and until your iPhone can do this, keep watching droid users enjoy every penny spent on their phones

Most OEMs outsource parts....Foxconn is a major supplier to Apple. Samsung also outsource some of their parts. Yes, Sammy will supply AMOLED screens to Apple beginning next year, big deal? Apple will still utilize that AMOLED display more than Sammy do. Until Samsung create their own unique OS count me out of the Samsung bandwagon and buggy Android.

When you use the Apple products you will know "Life's Good"

ollah1:
This is where you guys make mistakes. No doubt iOS conserve battery more than Android but it doesn't automatically translate to good battery life. The S7 is pushing 4 times the display of 6s and 2 times the display of 6s plus but you always neglect this.

My brother what we are saying is that Apple iPhone will push that same display and still have a better battery than Samsungs Android powered devices. Samsung are beginning to realize the havoc Android place on their products and they are gradually moving towards their own eco system "Tizen". The first Tizen powered Samsung device "Z2" will soon go live. The problem is with Android thanks to a process called garbage collection that hampers the Java-based apps that run on Android.

So when we talk about iPhone being better than Samsung we are not hating on Samsung rather we are stating a categorical fact.

solepager:
true bro. But my question is why should i have to be stuck with a pc to even sync with my phone. If my pc spoil nko. A phone should be able to be independent on its own. My real issue is not being able to even share with other device. Its not possible to have every app/movie/music/doc downloaded by yourself. Just that moment you'll need something badly to just do and move on...oh i cant share...oh i left my pc{at home}. Its just somehow to me sha,

i like the phone but i strongly believe that if the share restriction is remove{not jailbreaking} they would leave android licking the dust

All these complaints you are making are very minor things bro. No limitations with Apple. Just admit it.

You need something badly....what? Movie? Music? Photo? Document? App? All is easy as flash. Just install Xender on your iOS device and you are limitless. You could also collect stuffs with flash from your friends computer and put on yours. It's not really safe connecting your precious phone to every computer you see. Any app you need is in the App Store. Like someone advised earlier, before getting an iPhone or iPad get a PC or MacBook first. The rest is easy.

Phonefanatic:
Don't bother about waiting for iPhone 7 cos it will take about 2months to get to Nigeria market after release secondly prepare 250k upwards or wait another 5months to see if prices will go down.

Says who? Amazon nko? Or you think say na everybody dey use Konga?

Phonefanatic:
Apple fan boys will tell you it's not restriction but protection against imaginary virus or security .

Yes na

Check the Antutu Benchmark for 2015. You can see the clear winner! The Usain Bolt of the smartphone industry

That gap na like when Usain Bolt gap Gatlin

The difference is 7up.

Needless to say the 2016 report will follow a similar trend abi is there anybody that can win Usain Bolt? Nah!

Meanwhile for those saying that once you own Apple devices you are stuck on to one PC, well that is not totally true. There are ways of moving your iTunes media from your old Computer to your new Computer and you will still have all your apps intact as well as your media when you sync with your new PC.

I keep saying it that there are no impossibilities with Apple. If you are having a problem it's probably cos you haven't figured out the solution. Everything has a solution which you only need to dig further to find. The only thing is you can't sync your device with your friends PC, Do I need to explain why that is not necessary? Security of course.

So with Apple the world is at your feet folks.

Dam5reey:
So una don write 4 pages plus....
Outdated or updated... All na time wasting... Nothing special about phones.... Phone will always remain phone....
The apps you run are the main thing...
Happy with my Elife E7..

Maybe when this guys reach Iphone 10 or S10..By then phone might be 500k.. lol.. then I will get one..

Apple sold over 1billion phone got me thinking

Looool.....This thread is just getting more and more hilarious

Decale:
And you know this because....

Technology ain't static. The 1080p on s5 had worse battery than the QHD on s6, same thing goes for note 3 and note 4. Even z5 premium with the "4k screen" has a better battery life than the normal z5.

The problem is optimization. The QHD on iPad pro battery is top notch. What of the retina display on the MacBook pro?
Okay if you insist, Samsung Tab S2 and iPad air have the same resolution, screen size but the former uses the battery conserving "Super Amoled" and a beefier battery unlike the iPad air 2. Go compare their battery life...


Lol

Hold it right there! Don't even try to compare the iPad Air 2 to any Android tablet existing or dead. My iPad Air 2 full charge lasts close to 4 days on light usage while my Samsung Galaxy Tab can hardly last over 24 hrs. And I am not even talking of the new iPad Pro.

Flashh:
[color=#000033]In as much I get your explanation; but how do you mean "unless I'm really using outdated phone"?

Does it mean those that aren't using S7 and iPhone 6s are using outdated phones" in your last statement? I don't want to laugh.[/color]

Yes......if you are not using iPhone 6S or S7 your phone is outdated.

greenhulk:
As we brace ourselves for the release of iphone 7, it would be nice to know that Iphone 6s is still one of the fastest phones on the planet. See how it smokes the newly released galaxy note 7 in speed test. not impressive from Samsung... I still love Samsung though.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2xSS45Ld1o

Woooow!!!! Please and please nobody should ever compare iPhone to any Android again ever!!! Dem no be mates!!! Imagine iPhone 6S with 2GB RAM destroying the New Note 7 with 4gb RAM! Aaaaah......I bow for Apple. They are the bestest any day any time! Did you guys notice how the Note 7 was reloading the games each time while the iPhone 6S has the game in memory?

Shame on Android for killing Samsungs high end devices with their useless OS. Samsung should just get a better OS for their devices and ditch Android already! Maybe they should talk to Apple

greenhulk:
Maybe, maybe not. But u know Apple, they are all about business. My take is they will include a cheaper lighting headphone and then make another premium beats by Dre headphone with good DAC and sell it separately.

One of the phones with the best DAC is the LG v10.. but lg didn't make enough money with that phone because it is pointless making the phone more expensive just because of the DAC, so they removed it from the g5 and instead made a separate accessory for the DAC sold separately. Now with lighting and usb c headphones, it will be possible to get the best sound from high end headphone because u no longer need to depend on the phone's DAC but from the headphone.

From the pictures below u can see the lg g5 bang and Olufsen audio module to improve its sound while using headphones... It will cost more money building that into a phone,

Make Apple no use Bang&Olufsen audio ooo

That will mean iPhone will sell at nothing less than $2,000. Anything B&O dey cost die!!!

All I want Apple to do is to trim the bezels on the Plus version of the iPhone and make the phone sexier. Then it's a win win.

somehowpenis:
to counter you, the Apple store actually has much more apps than the Google play store, it has always been a fact you can google that bro..

Secondly he is right apple devs do hide apps with different names and signature then when you install them the real app apears, an exam is in the pic i will post below, the app i am actually trying to install is app cake, but look at its name hidden in Chinese, in the appstore it is called tongbu but upon installing i get my app cake with a chinese Huan enterprise certificate, devs do that, pangu also do that..

3.)getting your normal afro musics? Every trending afro song you can ever think of is on the iTunes, purchase it and play your songs, but if you want to tweak and get it for free, then get linktunes, it enables one get paid musics for free from itunes.

4.) sending files through Bluetooth is already something iPhones don't do, you can share anyfile with other fellows iphones using Bluetooth (airdrop) if you don't like it, don't get the iphone..

5.)any smartphone user that uses his phone from morning till night without dropping it just for a minute is rather jobbless, phones are supposed to be used this way for heavy users, 3hrs on time, 30 mins standby, and so on,.. In this case the iphone wins.. Thanks..

I download 1080P Full HD videos from YouTube everyday with my iPad without any modifications. You win when you know. The dude is from Learnerland

greenhulk:
One thing with iphones is they will always sell no matter what they put out. And the funny thing is other oems will follow suit. When iPhone started with non removable battery people cried foul, but today u can hardly see a flagship android phone with removable battery. When iPhone switched to micro sim same thing happens, and now u can hardly see a smartphone with standard sim. Again iPhone switched to nano sim and now every flagship phones come with nano sim.

Now for the headphones, well I don't actually support the disappearance of the headphone jack but if it means better audio then so be it. The thing is a normal cheap headphone doesn't have a built in DAC (digital to analogue converter) so it is relying in the built in DAC from the phone for better sound. But there are some expensive headphones out there with in built DAC but when u use them with a phone u won't be able to experience the full potential because the phone's DAC is not powerful enough. Taking away the headphone jack means those headphones will come with lightning port which is a multimedia port just like usb c port. That way those heavy headphones can make use of their own in built DAC which is better than the phone's DAC to produce optimum audio performance. U might not notice the difference with cheap headphones but when u use a high end headphone with ur phone u will notice it wouldn't work to its full potential because the phone's DAC is just not powerful enoigh.

I really don't k ow how to explain this but watch this video by marques brownlee to understand better.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b1VPqCrk2c

And I can guarantee u that within 2 years every top android phone makers will adopt this. By the way apple is not the first to implement this.... Motorola moto z and moto z force don't have headphone jack.

Well the issue with lightning headphones is the fact that the iPhone port will be exposed to extreme overuse.

CaptEColeJnr:
I was comfortable just reading comments until I saw this post.
The way you over-hyped the iPhone is simply ludicrous.
The Apple Store has less apps than the Google Play Store. So don't tell me you can get everything you want.
The only edge Apple has is the security of the apps.

I still believe the s7 is better, with an S7 I can get all I want even without rooting or tweaking. Whether it's from the Play Store,or from third-party sites. Now compare with the iPhone 6s where I can't find most of my favourite afro-beat African music on iTunes or download an all-important app free!

And you spoke of. Apple developers using fake names to 'hide' apps,that to me is laughable and unbelievable,Apple Store is the most secured and regulated online store. There's nosuch.

As a Nigerian,if I can't collect my favourite movie through Bluetooth from my friend Bola or transfer an NBA 2K game through SD Card to my friend Chinedu then of what enjoyment is the phone? It's like I'm imprisoned by the choice of the developers to limit users to their own will. Ridiculous!

So long the S7 battery will edge out the 6s battery in a consecutive usage,then that's what counts. Standby is only for people who live in forest (LOL).


I rest my case!

Dey there dey talk wetin you no know

Check my App drawer in the screenshot below, there is a "Calculator" app there, Oya come use am calculate na .

My brother you are only limited to what you know, you cannot argue that.

Have you forgotten that same Oyibo wey do pencil na im do eraser? You amuse me with your myopic posts.

Nobody holds on to a phone all day bro.....it is not humanly possible.


And forget all those Samsung hypes of Super AMOLED and 534ppi. From Expert Scientific research the naked human eye cannot see above 400ppi. So Samsung will only advertis 534 ppi to deceive naive buyers.

xtervaganza:
if the iPhone battery powers a QHD screen like the s7 the battery will drop too

Says who? You obviously don't know the power of Apple Optimization. It is their little secret that puts them apart from other manufacturers. See I charged my iPad Air 2 to full 100% two hours ago, and I've been active online since then, check my screenshot you can see the battery is still 100%

My brother don't joke with Apple ooh!

They will put that Super AMOLED you are talking and still nothing go shake their battery

CaptEColeJnr:
sharap joor android for life

Android fan boy

I will be switching to iPhone. I don't think I can wait till next year ooo

My finger is already itching to use the sexiest phone on the planet

In fact Sept. 7 should come quick and let me see what iPhone 7 will bring.

I'm reading rumors that the iPhone 7 will come without headphone jack, do you guys think such phone will sell in Nigeria?

somehowpenis:
The s series are actually much more better, i have always been an s series person, if you ise the 5s or 6s iphone, you should wait for iphone 7s and not rush to get the 7, execpt you are on a much more older phone or want to switch to iphone..the s series are usually where the speed and gimmick tecnologies are added..

The samsung s7 and s6 are basically the same thing.. I honestly really don't know the differences..

There will be no 7S. 2017 iPhone will be named iPhone 8 to mark their 10th anniversary. But it's worth the wait because it will be a big upgrade if not a complete overhaul of the present iPhone.

mykel20:
A new iPhone will be launched mid September, bro I'd advice you to wait till then and get that one instead. BTW the iPhone 6S was never a worthy upgrade to the iPhone 6 anyway, I mean who cares about force touch anyway??

My brother that is Apple for you. What makes you think the iPhone 7 will pack so much upgrade with it? All Apple do is to make small iterationns to a previous device and rename it. Unlike Samsung that take a major dive and do major overhaul. This is not so cool though but unfortunately the Apple fans like it so.

3D touch has come to stay and will still be part of the next iPhone.

Phonefanatic:
Bro don't misinterpret the word "high-end" for perfection.
I can buy an iPhone 6s plus for over 200k it's only a high-end phone not a perfect phone if I can't use Bluetooth to receive files from other OS, it is only high-end not perfect if I can't make use of memory cards and download apps without going through app store.

Like I've said rooting a high-end phone doesn't mean it doesn't give you the expected satisfaction it only means the phone can even do further but these phone companies will intentional limit it. Same goes with your iPhone.

In summary there is no perfect phone out of the box. Since Samsung released new features on Note 7 which was missing in s7 edge I simply ported those features to the S7 and can only be possible through root.

Did you port the S-Pen too?

Every app you might ever need is in the app store. I used to think the same way until i used the iPad. There are no limits with the iOS. Most people think you can't download movies or music with iOS but I download HD Movies on a daily basis with my iPad without Jailbreak. iOS App developers are very smart and som apps are deliberately hidden with fake names in app store. These apps are very powerful but are so named to keep Apple eyes away from them. Knowledge is power, Ignorance is bliss. Once you have the necessary merchandise you will realise you do not need rooting or jailbreak.

iOS 10 is in the works and would soon be available for download, that is yet another powerful update. Like I always say "iOS is sweet"

Modification of your phone aka Rooting will only bring it to an early grave.

The verdict:
With the iPhone you can never go wrong

greenhulk:
Are u saying I'm not an experienced user? I laugh. Just because I gave up on tweaking doesn't mean I don't know what I'm doing. This is why I buy expensive phones because I don't want to start tweaking my phones just to get the best out of it. What's the point of buying expensive phones just for me to tweak it to get the best result? It doesn't make sense. If I can't get the best result out of the box the to hell.

My point exactly. If you want to tweak get an MTK China phone. That's what they are meant for. Tweaking with A premium phone like S7 is foolishness. No pun intended.

Phonefanatic:
I'm sorry but I won't debate about phones with you until you use S7 edge only then can I sit you down and lecture you for free.

Well so long as you are so addicted to this S7 edge no need to argue with you..because like someone said you are a geek who is only interested in phone tweaks. So you are not an objective analyst but a strongly biased one.

somehowpenis:
Greenhulk thumbs up mahn, nice analysis.. This dude simply do not know you are arguing from experience, while he is being a fan boy, because according to him, the 6s didn't give him room for his tweakings, reason why he optted for the s7 , which he currently uses and bliv me he will do anything to defend that s7...


Sadly to say this their are even some tecno and gioner phones that smokes the samsung s7 battery life..

On paper the s7 battery is higher than the 6s, honestly if an iphone 6s and s7 is used side by side for the same thing for a 8hrs straight, the iphone would go off first, but on a normal day to day use of smartphones, this is where the iphone wins the s7 in batterylife, because the battery won't just discharge if you don't tell it to discharge, the samsung battery would keep on discharging on its own, not that it discharges heavily though but it keeps going down... So if an iphone 6s is charged fully for a day and an s7 is charged fully for a day and given to two users of almost the same intense, before the day gets to an end the s7 would be needing a charge while the iphone 6s would still have up to 30% left... This is what iphone greatly optimizing standby means...

Lol.....Bros you have laid the matter to rest. Thank you for the intelligent post. You always know Apple users when u see them, Intelligent, Posh, Calm and Experienced. Also you will know Android users when you see them, Razz, Lousy, always looking for tweaks everywhere

Phonefanatic:
Which phone are you using? You have a horrible battery life from what I can see and you seems not to have a clue what is draining your battery.
I use wifi 24hours of the day and I go all day so figure out what is causing you the battery hog I can help you if you wish.

How were u able to arrive at such conclusion? Because you saw 8% power left? Do you know how many hours of usage he got before that? Well you cannot judge based on what you are seeing there. Obviously that is an iPhone but i cannot say which it is.

@Op the question is not whether to buy S7 edge or iPhone 6S but the question should be whether to buy iPhone 6S or 6S plus. Just forget Samsung they have poor battery life.
