iPhone 7 - What Apple Doesn't Want You To Know

Just stumbled across this video by Unbox Therapy showing the difference in speed for 32GB and 256GB variant; as it can be seen, there is a substantial difference in the read/write speed for both phones. Considering the amount of people that purchased the phone from this recent deal, perhaps some may want to re-consider their options… if that's the concern ;)

Taken directly from the description of the video;

Every iPhone 7 is not created equal. Yes, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are available in various storage capacities but what about the speed? This video aims to test the storage speed of the iPhone 7 32GB and compare it to the other iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models (128GB and 256GB) in an effort to uncover the truth.

    Oh so apart from unreasonably overprice, there is another catch of iPhone. Thanks will avoid them from now.

      Yep, glad I have the 6P :)

      • fruit on 19/10/2016 - 19:46

        6P or 6S?

        • [Deactivated] on 19/10/2016 - 19:50

          Nexus 6P :)

    Two Scenarios:
    Non apple fanboi: "so what? I don't like Apple anyway"
    Apple fanboi : "so what? I will still camp two nights on the street to buy the first iPhone"

      I will still camp two nights on the street to buy the first iPhone

      Some have gone further…

      Or:

      "I understand this is a technical issue because of the way the storage technology works and it's not a big deal"

    i do believe this is normal, just like other SSD and USB drive, larger capacity is faster.

    • fruit on 19/10/2016 - 19:45

      Not always.

    Well that explains why they charge so much more for the extra storage capacity.

    • fruit on 19/10/2016 - 19:46

      They charge no where near what it would cost you to buy that memory retail. A huge markup.

    Isn't this just because of the whole Why Are Smaller SSDs Slower??

    tl;dr:

    Larger SSDs are faster because they use more Channels in parallel while smaller ones only use a few channels (4 instead of 8).

    The higher capacity variants of an SSD model often get their higher capacity from simply having more NAND flash chips of the same type as the lower capacity variants. Having more NAND flash chips allows for a design where the controller on the SSD can access more data in parallel, allowing for higher speeds.

    Here's a nice image to describe it.

    So… it might not be related to "Apple cheaping out on the parts for the 32GB model"…

      Came here to say pretty much this. The iphone 6, iphone 7 and even the Samsung Galaxy s6 or s7 should also exhibit the same behaviour if you tested them the same way, since they all have one thing in common — they use NVME based memory as opposed to EMMC.

      Larger memory -> more memory channels -> mooar speed.

    Courage

  • ozeebee on 19/10/2016 - 19:56

    Seriously who cares?

    Does the phone work? Yes. Does it melt and catch on fire? No.

    Not really anything new

    More clickbait overhyped nonsense

    Fanboyism aside, s7 edge, does me fine
    happy with my purchase

      S7 Edge is the best smart phone available.

    How about you tell us what the findings are.
    I'm not going to watch that video.

  • DarkOz on 19/10/2016 - 21:42

    I am happily using my iPhone 4S so it'll be quite a few years before I have to worry about iPhone 7 problems.

    • fruit on 19/10/2016 - 21:51

      Don't you care about being popular? Only cool kids have iPhonies

    Cheers iPwnJ00 and scrimshaw for clearing things up, didn't know that's how it worked :)
