iPhone 7/7 Plus SSD storage speed test 32/128/256GB

If this is true, I feel kind of ripped off with my 7+. I wasn't told that the storage internals were different other than the capacity.

Did you notice a speed difference before reading this thread? If not, enjoy your phone.

Because we should totally let Apple shaft people buying the lower capacities.

What? How is that shafting them?

And of course now that the jet blacks are just becoming available, I'm just outside the return window. Who knows, maybe I can use a jump on demand to switch over, I'll ask.

Anandtech reports that the speeds of the NAND are heavily influenced by free space due to the MLC/SLC setup. Can someone test this by filling up your 128GB until you have about 20GB left?

Where is this report? I don't see this in their published review

 

[Chazzle]

This can't be right. Already tried closing the app, restarting my phone, re-running the test. Any ideas?

Hi, Do not you think the iPhone 7 128 is wrong with 256?

Just ran mine using PerformanceTest Mobile. I have an iPhone 7 Plus 256 GB that was recently replaced by Apple.
