iPhone 7 killer features revealed!

[The Game 161]

Well camera wise the new iPhones should be great in that area. Looking forward to what the duel camera can do.

A basic concept like waterproofing that has existed well outside of phones and well before Samsung or anything else isn't something that is "copied".

Screen size is a copy for someone? It's size of a screen, yet another fundamental concept that exists outside of any particular company.

OLED? There's no copying there, simply going with the technology that is mature enough and makes sense enough to go with. (Not to mention that so far nothing about OLED has applied to the iPhone anyway.)

And are you really saying that the fingerprint sensor that the Atrix has could be realistically compared to TouchID? If that was the case, TouchID would be a failure that people wouldn't be using and no other company would be pushing to do something similar.

Yes, companies copy, nothing new there, but what you bring up is mostly non-sequitur to that. There's reaching, and then there's really reaching. But, as usual, just par for the course.

Considering you don't consider these factors as copying can you please list where Samsung has Copied Apple using these standards as a baseline.i7guy insists Samsung blatantly copies Apple yet by your measure I can't figure out how

Lol, I'm kind of the opposite. While I think the Note 7 is drop dead gorgeous, I trust Apple hardware more. Though they are slipping in quality and service if my husband's coworker's recent experience is anything to go by. Which was total hardware failure and a botched attempt by Apple to fix things for her while she was on a vacation. Poor woman lost all of the photos she had not had a chance to back up.

At any rate, I'm getting a Note 7 NOT for the specs, but for the unique features and abilities Samsung has given it above and beyond those provided by Android. I want the S-pen functionality.

I would love to see Apple do something to tie in with the Apple Pencil. As with the Note, people would have the option of using it or ignoring it according to their preferences.

I think right now the Note 7 promises to give me an interesting user experience. However, I don't trust Samsung to stand behind anything they sell. I'd be pleased to find out they are turning a corner as some of their customers claim, but I am not betting on it.

So I've been researching my insurance options. And I'm keeping my IPhone, too. I'm spending 2016 exploring my options. In 2017, I may throw all in with Apple or Android. Or continue to sit on the fence and use both. Heck, I may even try a Surface Phone if one ever gets marketed. But my husband is pretty mad at Microsoft business customer service right now so...maybe not.

I'm thinking of just buying out my 6plus and getting the note 7, that way I can switch if I need to. The features of the note 7 just kill the iphone. Whats keeping me on the fence is facetime and some iTunes movies tbh.

If you can do it, I would. It would give you less angst and stress about fairly evaluating between the two. I've noticed when people are forced by circumstance to choose between two options they tend to idealize the option they didn't take when they encounter a problem with the option they did choose. I know I have done that myself.

I did a Bing search n "Can you use iTunes movies on Android" and came up with some You Tube results. I don't own any ITunes movies for myself that I care to transfer (the kids and hubby do but I don't) so I don't know how well any of these methods work.

I own some songs I purchased on ITunes, but since I now have Apple Music which works okay on Android http://www.cnet.com/how-to/apple-music-for-android-what-to-know/ I could listen to those purchases on Android. But really I just download and store music from the streaming service subscription anyway, if I can't stream for some reason.

At some point I'm going to switch over to more neutral platforms. I'm still evaluating the impact on security and privacy in doing so.

I didn't realize they release the iPhone 7 yet. I was under the impression it was going to be launched in September. You are so lucky to have received one so early. I wish I could get the iPhone 7 now so that I can report on it's shortcomings. You are special.

In the earlier "Galaxy"-days, it was more than obvious that Samsung built almost it's whole smartphones-business, based on the look and feel of the iPhone.

Space black will be what makes people buy this phone.

The killer feature is going to be that it is $50 cheaper than last year and it comes with an adequate for many 32gb. That will make it $150 cheaper than last year for many people.
