Deal heated

All my friends used to have Apple phones but they got tired of all the expense and being locked in, and the lack of innovation, so they went to Android. :disappointed:

Me personally I buy iPhones because:

Apples customer service/Telephone Support
Fast software updates
iMessage/Facetime
Resale Value
Genius Bars for any Issues
Apple Pay

These and the fact that Apple keep supporting devices via software update for 4/5 years no android phone does that even Nexus/Pixel (Google only supports 2 years)

Currently using a Google Pixel because I prefer Android but I sneakily gave the iPhone 7 a spin for about 4 days a couple weeks ago (I'd bought it for my brother as a present but wasn't gonna see him until the weekend) before using my brother's old S7 Edge that it replaced (albeit with a smashed front screen) and here are my conclusions:

- Pretty much all high end phones are unbelievably similar these days; When it boils down to it, they all have great cameras and a fast when browsing the internet

- The iPhone feels way more premium than Samsung and Google's flagship offerings

- I don't play mobile games so I can't speak for gaming experience on these devices

- The iPhone 7 is the only phone hardware that has seriously impressed me since the Nexus 5X (yes, the plastic, small battery and poor camera having 5X)

- The iPhone 7's vibration engine (they call it 'taptic') is the most underrated feature of any modern smartphone

- The iPhone 7's sound quality from the headphone jack is unbelievable (with my Band and Olufsen H3 in-ears)

- The iPhone 7's lack of a headphone jack is actually more annoying than I expected

- The iPhone 7 has the best form factor out of all three devices I tried

- The curved screen on the the S7 is just plain annoying. Does anyone actually find it useful?

- Everything about the S7 and Touchwiz just feels, for want of a better word, oversaturated

- The Google Pixel really isn't significantly different to the Nexus 5X I owned before it. Approaching the upgrade as a lifelong android user ( Motorola Milestone 2 -> Xperia Arc S -> Nexus 5 -> Xperia M4 Aqua -> Nexus 5X -> Pixel ) it was a very very underwhelming change.

- Android Pay > Apple Pay; because it's far more convenient to access

- The iPhone's video capabilities are way better than any android phone going

- The Google Pixel is by far the most boring phone I have ever owned

- Android > iOS but they're still pretty much neck and neck in terms of functionality these days

- Android notification centre >>> iPhone notification centre

Taking another look at the waffle I just typed out, I sound fairly critical of my pixel. What I mean to say is that it's not a bad phone, just that most reviewers give it too much credit by calling it the best android phone ever made, even though it's hardware is mediocre and its software hasn't had any significant changes since Lollipop imo. Overall iPhone 7 > Pixel > S7 Edge because while Android is the superior OS, the iPhone is just a lot more impressive and a lot more fun to use.

Keeps showing as just 1 in stock since the last 2 hours. So either the stock is not there or no one is buying it.

Nothing exciting for this phone to cost £500, so voting cold. Doesn't even have OIS for the camera. :smiley:

:smile:

Save yourself some dollar and get the iPhone SE

I thought these had IOS? :confused:

no jack, no innovation justifying the price tag... seriously the iPhone is on its way out like Nokia and blackberry before it...

Good price, but personally waiting for the 10th anniversary model. I would hope to see a bit more innovation with that one like we did when the 5s was replaced with the 6.

I don't think the iPhone will ever be on its way out! but that's your opinion! I think the new IPhone X in September the top model (if rumours are correct) will be Apples best phone in years!
