Those videos clearly show some android phones reloading games while ios does not.
I guess apple prioritized what should and what should not run in the background.
Lets face it, most people dont torrent on their phones.
Got a tip for us?

That's the main reason to not install the Public Beta versions. They inevitably have stability issues otherwise wouldn't be BETA. Best bet for stability will always be to wait for the official release even if the dreaded get it sooner temptation is nagging at your heels ...
It's not beta. I don't have easy access to beta iOS. My husband used to be a developer, so he does, but he never installs them anymore either since he's more of an executive now than a hands on developer. It the official public release every time, that everyone gets pushed to their iPads and phones. We got a lot of them for iOS 10. Some were awful and screwed up my battery life. It was a rocky year for iOS stability, in my opinion. I have had a lot of app crashes on all of my iOS devices.That's the main reason to not install the Beta versions.

Really ? That sucks, i thought i had read previously you installed the public beta. Not had any lingering problems with any of the main iOS 10 updates on my iPhone 7 or iPad Pro personally ... But as with any of these things usage case varies let alone plethora of possible contributing factors ..
Did you try doing a clean install (emergency firmware recovery / restore) and set up as new device rather than from iCloud backup ?
With 64GB of onboard storage, I don't think I even need a microSD card. Funnily, I have a spare 32GB card lying around which Samsung gave to me for free for registering my S7E last year.
This is about the time when I regret not being an early adopter through Tmobile.
Best Buy better keep to that May 9th unlocked S8 release date. On that note, will the Samsung online store have unlocked ones to sell on May 9th, too?
Anyone read/hear any more info on unlocked models? It's exciting that they're making them available so quickly after initial release.

Yeah the 128 on my Pixel and iPhone are total overkill to me. 64 is my personal sweet spot storage wise as it offers me plenty of room without ever concerning me, but doesn't leave me feel like I'm wasting available storage ...
Same here! 64GB has always been a great middle ground for my usage, too. The 32GB microSD card will just be for extra emergency storage needs.
I hope 64GB becomes more and more standard. Ahem, Apple and Google Pixel 2.
My thoughts too...32 is not enough but 64 is the sweet spot.
I have not kept up to the date because I need a lower price as well so will have to wait it out even longer.
Man...the Verge really likes the S8 and TW....

Bad.... forcing something onto users is never a good thing, especially something as experimental and new as Bixby. Oh well, doesn't surprise me in the land of volume nags, locked bootloaders and proprietary software. Scary, kind of sounds like Apple.

Same here. With my 128 iPhone 7+ I really feel like I'm wasting storage space, as well as the premium I paid to get it... Not that Apple wouldn't have priced it the same if the middle option had been 64 and 128 had been the top one

Lol, I have a 256gb ip7+. After having to hand in my second Note 7 I found myself without a phone and was desperate, the only iPhone I could find was the highest one, sigh. It will probably lose resale value because not many want to pay extra for the memory. I also don't tend to use more than 20 or 30gb's usually, my days of playing games on my phone are long gone and all my pictures/videos get uploaded to OneDrive as soon as I hit wifi at home and work.
Don't worry I hear the chicks dig it
lol....my cube mates at the office are all wondering why i was laughing just now....Don't worry I hear the chicks dig it
on my 256GB I have about 110GB left so i do need the extra space as I like to have all my photos on my devices. I know this could be avoided if i used dropbox or google photos but i like the setup.
I have about 78GB left on my 256GB ipad pro but thats more due to the movies i have on there
Have suspected the battery quality issue with the Note 7 was because they switched manufacturing to China like most things (don't ask about my Goodyear Eagle F1 tires). Glad to know Samsung switched back to South Korean made which is on par with Japanese quality and from experience have gotten nearly four years without degradation.

I can believe it. I think Sammy has grown leaps over the last two iterations or so. They've managed to scale back gimmicks while leaving i place legitimate added functionality to Android. What they were lacking is polish, and it seems they've finally gotten there.
Also: DAAAAAMN happy my concern over review embargos was wrong! The reviews today have been outstanding. And my phone delivers tomorrow!
Couple people got their T-Mobile orders yesterday and today on another forum. They verified with pics too
