Be smarter. This entire thread is defending the Note....which doesn't come close to iPhone sales by any means. 80% share includes all the **** phones sold in third world countries. Go do some real research.
Edit: Also, you are ignoring the timing of that article...iPhone sales always drop prior to new product announcements. Happens every year. You may have just gotten out of a coma so you may have missed that.
I can put you in your place all night. I may have been right by joking that Android was for the uneducated. Didn't really think it before...but you have me convinced.

uh you were the one who brought up the android word. or did you forget that already? here let me refresh what you just said a few mins ago and i quote "Yikes you guys can't follow logic. Enjoy Android" you change the topic now deal with it. your just mad because android dominates ios. deal with it.

What's up, G?!

You guys are right. Impossible to win against you guys who just don't understand.
Well, over here the only iPhone 7 that's cheaper than the Note 7 (879€) is the regular size 32GB model (779€). The 128GB regular size goes to 889€, but if you prefer the Plus size it'll be 919€ for 32GB and 1029€ for 128GB. If only the 128GB 7+ were cheaper than the Note 7 over here too, I'd order one in a heartbeat.
Note 7 is $1049 for 64GB
iPhone 7 Plus is $1049 for 32GB
Sorry to burst your bubble.

Put it like this..... It's free memory 4 LIFE!!! I can use my free 256gb micro SD in any device that has a sd slot, computer, camera, and can even use it in a USB adapter and put in in my Xbox One or Smart TV. What's not to like about that?
Just what I thought. A microSD card that either can't be used for everything, is generally slower, and has a higher failure rate than what they use for internal storage.
Yes, America is one of the few places if not the only one where Apple's prices haven't become basically ridiculous within the last couple of years.
Based on my coworkers, a large majority. Nearly all of us use a Macbook Pro or iMac for work and many at home too but only a few of us have iPhones. I believe there is no correlation between Mac and iPhone ownership to the degree you think.
Then there are those of us who use Macs for work, PCs at home, iPads for tablet and Android for phone. After being connected to a computer became unnecessary for installing apps on iOS devices it became pretty irrelevant what computer you use with your mobile devices.
Moreover, most people with a 256 gb iPhone will not utilize that memory and will most likely upgrade to the iPhone 8 next year with more than half of that memory never being used.....I prefer memory to be easily transferable which a microSD card allows
If you only buy iPhones the data is easily transferable via backup or iCloud. Horses for courses.
Starting NOT to care for either device. I think having to turn off a Note7 while taking a 16h flight is a waste for me. The recall didn't bother me but the ones who aren't affected will now feel it. Getting myself a PS4 slim and a bunch of games. At least consoles don't get updated as often as six months to a year. By next year, a Note7 and iPhone 7 will drop to $400 while a PS4 slim might drop to $50 less. Why lose that $450 after a year?
This seems like temporary placeholders. In six months, S8 and foldable screens will be announced at MWC. Skip the seven. Wait for the eight. Nomore Project Ara but 2017 looks to be better than the disappointment of 2016 flagships...
2017
Project Valley (Galaxy Wing or X)
Galaxy S8, Note8 (4K displays)
iPhone 8 (new design, less bezels)
Maybe an excellent Nokia Android flagship
Between Note7 v iPhone 7/7 Plus, I would still choose Note7. Again over and over, I HATE iOS and iTunes. Go on Android Central forums and how people there feel about iOS is how I feel about it too. It is vice versa here I know since many hate Android. But there is a few things I like with iPhone 7 (not 7 Plus).
$850 for a 256gb iPhone 7 or roughly same price as a Note7. If you didn't get the free 256gb memory card, you need to spend another $80 to put a 200gb micro-sd to your Note7 which only comes with 64gb internally.
Matte black iP7 will show fingerprints but not as badly as the Note7 or jet black iP7.
2X optical zoom is very cool for the 7 Plus which Note7 lacks. The multi-LED lights and 7MP are also pluses.
Better battery life. Snapdragon Note7 is about 10-13 hrs for browsing and video playback. iP7 can roughly get up to 14-15 hrs.
Louder external speakers although this cancels out the removal of the headphone jack.
Flat screen (yup, I no longer like the dual edges)
The benefits of Note7 for me -
Android ftw
Better display with HDR (wowed me first time I saw it)
Expandable storage
S-Pen features with a nifty gif maker
Ability to adjust screen resolution
VR
Better home button. This haptic feedback from the iP7 really ticked me off. What the hell is this? BlackBerry Storm? I wanted a normal CAPACITIVE home button. I get an annoying doorbuzzer instead. This was the one feature I wanted removed and Apple messes that up.
Design is subjective and can go either way. The Note7 has lesser of a footprint than 7+. But dual edge displays which likely becomes common and standard in 2017 is a cosmetic gimmick. It will be played out. The color options look better on the Note7 though. The only decent colors for iP7 are the black options. Blue coral and titanium silver look better than most iP7 color options. Apple is putting lipstick on a pig to hide those hideous antenna lines. But I wouldn't blow my wad for black options when Apple should have released it in 2014. They held it back for the sake of blinding you with design and marketing with their current cash grab and rehash. At least the display isn't exposed like the dual edged Samsung phones are.
Both are just temporary placeholders. The planned obsolescence cycles are getting shorter. By Mobile World Congress, people will start having buyer's remorse when S7 edge, Note7, and iPhone 7 become old news and we see Project Valley being closed can protect a screen. Imagine a smartphone where the screen wraps around your entire wrist? Note8 will likely correct everything wrong with its predecessor like what the iPhone 4s and HTC One M8 did to their's.
The "Samsung" iPhone 8 will finally unveil the radical new design you all been waiting for with a lesser footprint and maybe a resolution that isn't stuck in 2012-2013 since VR will mature and be heavily pushed as time goes on. Both companies have us all fooled and just copying off each other. Samsung blew it figuratively speaking with me. Note7 is still the phone I would rather have since iOS is for kids with the same boring homescreen and hate wasting time syncing to iTunes. Even if you play the recall card, I still want. But Samsung also messed up way too much which lost its luster on me.
Again, skip 7. Wait for 8.

Whenever it comes to upgrade time, I consider both iOS and Android. I've been on Android now since the days of the iPhone 4S.
The few things that keep me on Android are:
- Notification light
- Notifications in toolbar (so I can see I have new texts, emails etc from any screen)
- Widgets
- iOS's insistence on making me use certain apps (like not being able to set Google Maps as the default mapping app)
Apart from these, iOS and Android seem largely the same and the areas that Android loses are things I feel I can live with.

If I ever make a product I need to remember to get you guys to like it. You mofos can defend it to no other. All of you are already pre hired on My sales team.
Android and IOS are largely the same, in the same way all cars are largely the same. Make phone calls, check. facebook check, twitter check, notification light. Android wins on that.
However, the devil is in the details of how each system does what it does and how each manufacturer supports it's devices. My 6s is now on IOS 10 and I like the upgrade. Some things that keep me on IOS:
- manufacturer support
- it does what I need to do, backup and recovery through itunes is surprisingly simple
- my ipad and iphone sync seamlessly and I can take calls on my ipad, etc (continuity and handoff)
- facetime and imessage are a big draw with family all over the place. (the new imessage on ios 10 is very cool)
I will be getting the iphone 7 plus 128 as soon as I can get into a store and try out the size. I am not yet sure I will like the size.
