I am so sick of people saying that the iPhone 7 Plus is so "buttery smooth". Yes, it is very smooth...BUT, I have one now (256GB version) and it DOES in FACT stutter on ocassion and lag when going in and out of apps. Not all the time, but it does.
My Note 7 had very little lag. Others complained they had it but I did not. I am so ticked off right now. That N7 was hands down the best phone that I have ever used.
I am also not happy with the fact that this iphone is 5.5 vs 5.7 inches and yet, is wider and taller than the N7. I got used to that nice feel in the hand and iphone just feels too big now for some reason. My hand actually bothered me at first, but I am getting used to it.
Apps are a little better on the iphone and I actually like the look of video better on the iPhone as well. And, well, one of the biggest factors? Battery. WOW WOW and WOW for iPhone 7 plus. After 1 week of use, and I am a pretty heavy user, I am averaging 16 hours of use with equivalent of 6.5-7 hours of SOT. That just blows away my Note 7 but a good 3-4 hours. But here is the amazing part.
I have yet to get the iPhone to go below 15% battery during and of that time, so I could get approximately 18-20 hours with about 8-9 hours of SOT before it would die.
Every night I am going to bed I have between 18-25% juice left after literally trying to drain the battery on this.
I also unplugged it one night at midnight..fully charged and when I got up on the weekend at 8:15am, it was STILL at 100%.
Still, I am going to look at the Note 8 if they make it because I miss the pen and overall experience...If they could somehow get a 4000 to 4500 battery in it that would be enough for me to make the change easy.
