You're just hating now. If you read my previous comment, I said if I were to put both devices side-by-side and ran the same test, my iPhone 6s+ will most likely come out on top.
Who's drinking the *Kool-aid* now?

Who's drinking the *Kool-aid* now?
You think it might start opening apps faster after few weeks? Warm the hardware up.
Exactly. Trust me, just show that video to anyone that doesn't care about tech in general, and they almost always say exactly this, "that looks stupid, who does that with their phone?"
The better question is, who cares? What's the point?
The day that an app opening a split second slower than some other dudes phone, Mike's away, actually influences my life...I'll come and give you that satisfaction.
If this kind of thing actually bothers you, let alone influences your choice...then there is no argument here that you will consider.
The iPhone is the smoothest phone, and 3 years ago that was a big deal. Today, it's not. We are talking about millisecond differences, and one could argue it's simple animations.
The iPhone is a great phone, but to deny that the note 7 outclasses it in features and functionality, while doing so with a level of shine...that is simply silly.
I did a quick test with my s7 edge/iPhone 6s plus for speed and it was mixed. Both outdid each other in certain tests. In reality there is no real difference in speed and performance wise there is no difference. Both are very quick and the same will be with note 7 vs iPhone 7.
iPhone being 1 second faster opening up tapatalk certainly wouldn't make me rethink getting the note 7 that's for sure.

I think the Note 7 bothers you so much you felt the need to post something negative. I think you feel so threatened by the N7 you had to be THAT guy to post something negative to feel better about your iphone....
Video smackdowns like this do at least highlight differences in OS and such, personally I think there is more validity however comparing android to android rather than apples to oranges.
IOS has always been tremendously optimised, and if you want an iOS device then the only place you will get one is from Apple.
Android on the other hand comes in all shapes and sizes and there is a lot more variety which I think tests like this can highlight where one manufacturer may have benefit in faster ram and storage media whereas other OEM's prioritise ram management and lighter skins and such.
But as for real world scenario, yes no-one is opening apps as fast as this one after the other.
But... Most of us do have more apps open than we realise (contacts, dialer, calendar, notes, settings, camera, gallery, calculator, music player - with just that basic set you are up to 9). So we shouldn't dismiss tests like this completely out of hand. Throw in a couple of extra apps like Facebook, Facebook messenger, Tapatalk and hangouts and you are up to 13 apps. From a real world perspective it's how a device handles and runs with these kind of standard apps that we don't even think about that matters.
As long as the Note 7 performs as well as my S7 & S7e in doing so, I will have no complaints. For me app opening speed is less important and I generally use the same standard apps and have them open or refreshing in the background.
It will be interesting to see a Note 7 snapdragon vs exynos speed test only to see how different SOC's and Samsung's optimisations favour one or the other.
But if tests like this highlight a flaw (I am not saying this test has - I have not even bothered watching it) we should acknowledge / accept it, as no device is perfect. To post articles championing one aspect of a device, whilst dismissing evidence of an area the device isn't so hot in does come across as a double standard.
That all being said and playing devils advocate - I am still more concerned personally about whether I should have gone black instead of blue

Why don't you two trade ? Lollol....i am starting to think I should have gone for the blue one instead of the black!
You hit the nail on the head; it's apple to oranges. We all know apple has and continues to do remarkably well in optimization. Android, as of now, doesn't compare. So, instead of iPhone vs Note 7, it should be android device vs android device. Just to have a fair assessment.Video smackdowns like this do at least highlight differences in OS and such, personally I think there is more validity however comparing android to android rather than apples to oranges.

I personally pay no attention to those types of videos but I know my iPhone is great and would probably outperform my Note 7 in some areas.
^^that's me drinking the kool-aid, Sgt
Damn, that blows! Hope you get a replacement soon!!!
I got both, the black onyx and blue coral, and while the blue one looks really attractive...I'm favoring that all black one more and more with use.
Maybe, I'll post some pics of both, side by side.
I have the TMO variants, and use this app ' Galaxy Button Lights ' to completely disable them. Bothers the hell outta me, esp at night!
Works great, and is free!

Working here, but with the stock messages app. I'm assuming you have Nova Prime, with the Tesla Count badges installed ?
The note 7/S7 edge is plenty fast. Yes Apple might stick another GB of ram in the iPhone 7 plus and may perform even better in Bench marks but in real life usage it's not going to stop the note 7 being a good phone. It's still fast enough.

Multitasking?
On the Apple insider podcast a few weeks ago they speculated that the extra ram is for the dual lens camera.

I use galaxy button light as well; makes the black onyx look stealthy.
The one small bug I noticed with the app is, I have them set to off but when I wake the device, they flickr.
Given they only went 2gb with the iPad Pro 9.7 after all the rumour-mill were convinced it was 4gb - I honestly suspect and expect the iPhone 7 &7+ will be 2gb. And whatever they do, people will bitch and moan about it ...
Strange...I just checked my Note 5, and both Note 7s and no flickr on wake... I'd try a re-install, maybe ?
My guess would be increased photo processing features to take advantage of a new camera component.
Imagine duel camera will be why yeah as the 4.7 version is expected to have 2GB
Im taking the quote at hecause some of you are not very clear on who you are supporting lol. But I will at least leave my thoughts on the video.
I switched from an iPhone 6S Plus to a Note 7. Let me mention, I have literally had every single iPhone every year for the last 8-9 years.
Well my Note 7 runs much better than my 6s plus ever did. My iPhone 6s plus was a piece of ****. Its actually why I decided to switch to samsung for a year until the iPhone 8 comes out.
Was my 6s plus defective? Maybe. But that doesnt change the user experience that I had personally. So in my case, and Im sure I am not the only one, then that video would look like ******** to me because I used the 6s plus for a year and now have a note 7
I will also add this: I love Apple still. iOS is ****in awesome, and everything is nicely streamlined. But the 6s plus was such a huge disappointment for me.
