It says nothing. Other than the SoC and Memory, iPhones tend to have average hardware vs. Samsung, Sony etc...

It says absolutely nothing.

That's your opinion and your entitled to it, however sales data do not back up what you claim.

Sorry you feel that way. I feel like other oems service/support is below average.

The reviewers and actual data from DxOMark, Display Mate etc... Say otherwise.

Huge conflict between Sales and how good the Display, Camera etc... are.

I couldn't agree more. Huge conflict between some people's perception of a device and sales.

Dxo and display mate have nothing to do with ram or soc, so according to another poster, that really isn't relevant to this thread

Those were two examples of professionals in Display and Camera.

But according to lowendlinux that has nothing to do with this thread, since we can only discuss soc and ram performance here.

And dxo is selling an iPhone camera add-on btw, kind of speaks to their impartiality or lack of.

We shouldn't be discussing Sales either then, as you said, SoC and RAM Performance.

According to low end Linux, oh and you can discuss the nexus 6p and the lg5 too.

Not much to discuss in sales anyway, the s7 edge is tanking according to the sales report out of Korea, well compared to the iPhone. Nothing much to discuss.

Ram is from 2012 standard and SoC only does well on useless synthetic benchmarks. Just had a discussion with someone who used aggressive compiler optimizations and showed how much of a difference it made to a synthetic benchmark. I asked to see what differences it made to real world apps and he came back later with results which were the same if not slower.

Uh huh.

Ouch, that's gotta hurt.

That test proves nothing except how clueless some are of how iOS works. iOS suspends apps in the background then purges it from memory after 3 minutes. The tester knows this that's why they cycle through the apps so fast to keep it from being purged. See for yourself with, for example, the app linked below. Connect to a host then put in the background. After 3 minutes it'll warn you then it'll purge it from memory and if you switch to it it'll reload.

Do the same on any desktop OS or Android and it'll continue to run in the background.

So you're back ... the persistent trolling rampage on iPad and IPhone SE threads you've been engaged in lately isn't baring the results you want, so you creep back into the Alternatives forum for some more irrelevant FUD thumping ? .. :rolleyes:

For someone who clearly hates Apple and it's products you do spend an exceedingly large amount of time posting your diatribe vitriol here. The question is WHY ?

Regardless how iOS works, the s7 got spanked by the iPhone 6s.
What iOS device are you using that is asking you to purge the memory?
