[quote]Testing shows 32GB iPhone 7 is slower and Intel-based iPhone 7 Plus has worse signal than 128 or 256GB versions

Not all iPhone 7s are born equally, according to new tests, which appear to show the cheapest, 32GB versions are significantly slower than the more expensive 128 or 256GB versions and that some have much poorer 4G reception.

Testing by both GSMArena and Unbox Therapy found that the speed of the storage within the 32GB iPhone 7 is significantly slower than that in the more expensive 128GB iPhone 7. Reading data from the storage of the 32GB version of the iPhone 7 was 200Mbps slower than the 12GB version, 656Mbps and 856Mbps respectively. The difference in read speed over 600Mbps is unlikely to be noticeable in day-to-day usage.

However, writing to the storage

Actually i do agree that my phone signal is a lot worse on the 7+ vs 6. As for the memory problem that's not apples fault but memory in general. Larger flash drives are faster due to difference in channels.

I knew that the drives that are larger provide faster responses. But, I didn't think it was true to Apple phones too. Crazy

Why? They too use flash memory...

I've had a number of people complain they have issues hearing me, and I've even lost a few calls already. It's unfortunate but frustrating at times.
