Quote:Both iPhones appear to be hooked to the same USB port and Hilsenteger performs the same action on each — he syncs a 4.2GB copy of Star Wars: A New Hope to both iPhones and measures how long it took to do it. The iPhone 7 256GB finishes the copy in 2 minutes, 34 seconds. The iPhone 7 32GB needs 3 minutes, 40 seconds for the same job. That means it takes the iPhone 7 32GB about 1.43x as long to copy a 4.2GB file as the iPhone 7 256GB — and that’s not a trivial difference.
GSMArena actually hit this topic in early October, but the report doesn’t seem to have made much of a splash. According to their results, read speeds between the 32GB and 128GB models of iPhone 7 are nearly identical, but the write performance was similarly low. Their file copy tests also showed a much larger gap between the iPhone 7 128GB and the iPhone 7 32GB, though I’m not sure why (in their tests, the iPhone 7 32GB was nearly 3x slower, though the copy only took 52 seconds).
...
There’s probably a practical aspect to this as well. Apple is betting it can get away with slower transfer times on the less expensive hardware because owners with just 32GB of space aren’t going to spend very much time copying data back and forth anyway. And given that file copy times still seem to be on-par with the iPhone 6s (according to GSMArena), the company probably thought most people wouldn’t notice. Still, it’s a bit shady of Apple to sabotage write performance just to pocket a few extra dollars. The company may have finally moved off its 16GB capacity, but it’s still going to gouge you if you want decent write performance.

Just the fact that you are locked in to a size is crap anyway.
I'll never understand Apple Fanatics.

Yup. Apple hardware is a waste of money unless you are really intent on high end hardware and owning the absolute best. You will pay a very heavy price for that though. I love LG phones, personally. Removable batteries and micro SD cards FTW.

My last couple phones were LG, thought they were great.
Like my Note 5, even with 32GB and no removable battery. It does what I need a phone to do in good fashion, primarily surf net, make calls, send texts/emails, and be a GPS.

I absolutely love my new LG G4. The only thing I wish it had was a faster processor. The snapdragon 820 looks amazing.

Apple is not the "absolute best". With phones for example the radio is horrible.
You can have an Apple and a Samsung or any other brand side by side and the Apple drops because the receiver is crap.

Well it's debatable. I think samsung makes better phones but now that they are exploding I don't see anyone else who can really compete with Apple.
