This is only true if you send to another iPhone. If people want photos uncompressed you use something like Dropbox or Google Drive and give access to those that want to see the photos (send a link to the folder, so they can see all the photo's, or send a link to just one photo. Ultimately, this saves time and bandwidth). No texting or emailing pf photos required. Apple is trying to get people to do this with iCloud.
yes, or if you have ios devices, you can just use native imessage again. seamless, fluid.
Comparing iPhones to flagship Android phones:
Android is utilizing 4gb or RAM and able to fully utilize 64bit operations on screens displaying 2k or higher resolution. Flagships on Android have ditched the base 16gb models in favor of a minimum 32gb.
Apple is utilizing 750p and 1080p screens. They only have 2gb of RAM (and only because people have been complaining for 2 years about the constant refreshes due to limited RAM!). And Apple is still trying to get people on to 16gb phones. I should say, Apple is still using old parts on new phones to minimize costs on their end and maximize profits at the expense of customers. Why is Apple selling a phone that cost them $234 to manufacture for over $1000? That is just wrong.
Apple is a business so I imagine they want to be profitable. Price is a reflection of demand so if people are willing to buy it then Apple will sell it at the price they deem right. It's not like Samsung who charged high prices for their s6/note line, then suddenly because of lackluster sales/low demand they slash prices in order to sell them.
The 16 gb is an annoyance for us on this forum but obviously there's millions who are fine with it. I personally get 128 gb but there's plenty of people who aren't power users and 16 gb is fine for them.
The Android phones with 4 gb ram look great on paper, but is the software really optimizing them like it should? Aggressive ram management has hindered its benefits on devices like the s6. I'm sure it'll get better but things like this are an indication of how software can turn high grade specs into a step down experience.
It's hilarious how you ignore the most important aspect of the phone. The CPU/GPU combo which DEVASTATES all android phones. Furthermore, screen quality isn't just dictated by resolution. You know this, right? Contrast, viewing angles, efficiency, max brightness etc are WAY more important. The 16GB thing is reasonable but the iPhone does NOT use mid range components. Just please don't spread that garbage.
yeah it's like people can't give credit to apple for what they did with the 6s/6s plus. The cpu/gpu is right now tops in the industry. It's basically being benchmarked next to a surface pro 3 because it's ahead of other smartphones. I'm sure the future will bring beasts from samsung and qualcomm but it's hard to deny apple outdid expectations with the performance of the A9. And another unexpected advancement is the fast storage. They basically put the macbook controller inside. The speeds are pretty impressive, and according to anandtech ahead of everything else by a wide margin.
I thought i read somewhere too where they benchmarked the 6s plus
@1080p against other flagships, even downscaling the resolution to 1080p and it still beat them considerably. Gotta find that link.
