I think this really depends on how long you are expecting to use your phone. Presently the iPhone 7 feels unnecessarily fast, but in 2-4 years when more data is consumed and operating systems are more taxing, I may care more about those difference.
- wmccullough 10y ago"unnecessarily fast" I'm curious what you mean by this. No snark, genuinely curious.
- jsight 10y agoPerhaps he means that the speed difference between the 7 and the 6 is almost unnoticeable, because everything that he does was near instant before? That is basically my experience with modern Android phones at this point, and they aren't even as fast as the iPhone.
- teekert 10y agoHow can something feel unnecessarily fast? It may be unnecessarily fast but to me tech never feels fast enough. Unless it would respond before I do something perhaps... I'd like lag to approach zero to be honest.
- stcredzero 10y agobut to me tech never feels fast enough Because of programmers and Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons." Coders will always use the computation, memory, and bandwidth resources that are there. "If I just use a little more, it benefits my app, but it hurts everyone else just incrementally." Everyone makes the same calculation, and voila, the machine that's 2X faster feels just as slow. It's the same reason why building more highways just results in more people stuck in slow traffic.
