The Intel iPhone 7 Plus models showed at least 30% worse network performance, and in some cases as poor as 75% worse, than the Qualcomm iPhone 7 Plus models. This performance gap means that the Intel iPhone 7 Plus models will have poorer 4G reception than the Qualcomm versions and slower download and upload speeds.
and the fact that the 32GB versions have slower memory has been known for a while.the iPhone 7 Plus smartphones with model numbers A1778 and A1784, including those available in the UK and Europe, performed noticeably poorer than those with model numbers A1660 and A1661, including those available in the US.
A1778 and A1784 iPhone 7 Plus smartphones have an Intel modem chip that connects them to the 4G network, while the A1660 and A1661 models use a modem supplied by Qualcomm
This is what I meant. 50MB/s is very slow by today's standard (for a 1k$ phone). I may be wrong but it seems like the iphone 7 only has usb 2 support (60mbps)? When I wrote my post, I thought it had at least USB 3 and thus was quite bottlenecked by the write speed.
Don't worry. Someone will throw a class action lawsuit about it. Apple customers are not as sheep as you think.
Not even close, Apple did not advertise the speed of their storage, only the amount. They did not even advertise the speed of their 128GB models. There is no false advertising here, you get what you paid for.Originally Posted by Buris
I think the decision to use a cheaper storage medium in the 32GB model is lawsuit-worthy.
You know review samples and reviewers are going to be reviewing a product, and the average joe will go buy a product that is drastically slower than said product. Kind of like Nvidia products
There's also the 4G networking issue that can be proven to be different hardware, with different speeds.Originally Posted by Yttrium

In Nvidia's case they advertised the amount (4GB) and the speed at which the 4GB ran. This did not add up and thus is false advertising and misleading. in addition to this, memory speed of the last 0.5GB actually mattered in real-world scenario's. With apple, not so much.
Until apple starts putting emblems that denote memory size on the back
I think a lot of people (like me) are much more willing to pay high prices for smart phones like the iPhone these days because of 0% 24 month financing, which seems to have replaced the old model of getting phones for a cheaper price with a 2-year contract. My Note 7 is costing me $35/mo for 2 years which is a lot easier to swallow than paying $850 up front. I'm definitely a big fan of the new way of purchasing phones (at least VZN's current system)...Originally Posted by Tokkan
I keep not understanding how one purchases what is a 900 euros phone in my country. 770$ in the US and acept, be okay, completely FINE that their phone, which is already one of the most expensive phones on the market be slower than the remaining same model phones because, you didn't pay for more space or because you happened to buy the wrong model.
But it doesn't matter, because people seem to be okay with it.
I understand, it's apple. It looks good, has tons of accessories does what you ask it to do till the next one comes along, at which time you're probably gonna upgrade through your operator anyway. So yea.
Just keep on trucking and things like these will become norm.
Again, 50MB/s is not the same as 50 mbps. 50MB/s is 400 mbps, almost half of your gigabit ethernet connection.Originally Posted by Just a nickname

That is until they join the ranks of every other Xiaomi user I know when their phone starts showing why they are so cheap. In China Xiaomi are a brand to be avoided unless you really can't afford anything else.
Same thing, Apple did NOT promise certain hardware in their devices or the same hardware across all new devices. They could have placed an hard limit of 1Kbit and you still wouldn't have a case. Would be a dick move costing them alot of money, wouldn't be a lawsuit.Originally Posted by Tokkan
