Samsung Note 8

From what I read the iPhone 8 is losing because it has 4 low power cores and navigating the OS and opening apps just isn't pushing the processor enough into using the high power cores while with the iPhone 7 the high power cores are being used which is why the 7 beats the 8 while launching apps as does the Note 8. This won't be fixed by a software update. It's just a case of Apple's Soc being just too powerful for iOS.
In this case “the glove fit” but you don’t get acquitted. Prime example of a pejorative straw man argument.
You guys should know by now the 2 apple apologists that have been hanging out here in the alternative section just has one agenda. They want to detail threads. They can't do that if no one talks to them.
Just don't engage the apologists.
They are just here to derail the threads with useless rhetoric.

Oh my goodness. A nice cogent discussion is welcome, but hypocrisy runs deep with name calling galore by the same people who don’t want this behavior. Now back to the regularly scheduled discussion of the note 8.
I must say my battery life in my Note 8 has been outstanding so far. I easily get about 6-7 hours SOT on a regular basis.
True, it was, but I also was able to replicate the issue. I just never held it that way again. But either way, Apple has a tendency to ignore issues.
He is right, do you even post in the actual iPhone threads or do you just like to troll the alternative section? Looking at your post history it seems 95% of your posts are in the alternative section....
No worries, enjoy your note 8 with a year old OS. By the time you get the update you can buy a note 9 with a year old OS. It's a vicious cycle to have to put up with, each to their own though.
A year old OS which is still years ahead of iOS. 
Maybe in 2020 you can move your homescreen icons the way you want...

What purpose is the age of the os release if it gives you all the functionality you could want and has features IOS is years from having? Hopefully Apple pays you.
A year old OS that still has way more functionality then the latest watered down version of iOS each year. Updates are only as good as the content within.A year old OS which is still years ahead of iOS.

I'm on the way to getting 7-8 hours of on screen time at this rate.
With that year old OS still receiving regular security updates it’s not such a problem. With the way Apple software quality has gone downhill during the last couple of years, I’m starting to prefer the Android model where you get security updates also for older OS versions. When Apple releases a new iOS version, you pretty much have to upgrade to get the latest security updates, regardless of how badly it runs on your hardware or whatever it breaks. It seems to be rare for Apple to patch older iOS versions nowadays even though they’ve done it on a couple of occasions earlier.
I've gotten 6 and a half on my worst day since I got mine. If you turn off auto brightness you can get even more. I love the battery life so far.
Ive had over 5 updates for my S8 since launch so no issues there
Also welcome to my ignore list you don't even try to hide the fact that you are a troll.
People who don't engage in circlejerks aren't necessarily apologists. When you step away from the Apple Church you'll be able to see that for yourself. Hopefully you're not too far gone.
Tell that to Jamezr

The guy who actually owns multiple devices including the iPhone 8? You're hilarious!
your wasting your time you cannot reason or have discussion with the apple apologist that has a closed mind.People who don't engage in circlejerks aren't necessarily apologists. When you step away from the Apple Church you'll be able to see that for yourself. Hopefully you're not too far gone.
Ignore them both and when they have no one to talk to they will go away....
Why do people come to the Alternatives form just to preach about how much better iOS is?
