I'm trying to figure out the big deal about this feature... other than the fact that it doubles your power consumption while gaming. Is it for people who don't have a regular television and need to send video output to a monitor which is connected to a PC/Mac? Or does it allow multiple people to play at the same time (using multiple screens)?

I have read where single core tasks were faster on the 6s while multi-core tests were faster on the S7. Also read that the GPU was faster on the S7.

Need to find where I saw tht yesterday.

Single core is far more important considering how few Apps actually utilize multiple cores. Faster GPU is useless if it throttles after a few minutes.

And yet the S7 is still slower CPU wise even though it is 6 months newer:

Oh and it seems to overheat after high usage:

GizMag praises S7 Edge liquid cooling is better than iPhone 6S Plus without.

THe thing is that one needs to try it. You can explain it till you pass out but you can't really grasp it until you try a unit on.

You could just try to walk around with two simple eye patches over your eyes and look silly walking around.

Problem is most mainstream won't even try it in the first place.  Since it makes them look like a walking robo-zombie.

This is just like the Google-Glass arguments I had with Glass-holes 3 years ago.  Yes its cool. But it won't go mainstream.

Most folks here are too young to remember that Apple once enjoyed almost a decade lead in processing power on the RISC based PowerPc platform over Intel's x86.  It wasn't until the late 00' when AMD and Intel made significant increases in processing power at much lower prices.  A few years late Steve Jobs had no choice but to join x86 as IBM and Motorola could not compete against Intel.  It's very possible that apple will lose their custom ARM SOC to another company this decade.  Intel could compete with them directly if they wanted to.  But it seems Samsung or Qualcomm have made lots of process and have eroded the Apple processing power.  All they really need is more work with Google to optimize the platform better.

If anyone has owned the S6 Edge+ and iPhone 6S+ can  tell the Samsung device is simply amazing. It has a much higher screen resolution and usable surface than the iPhone 6S+.  The camera is amazing in low light and resolution.  The curved screen is a thing of beauty.  iPhone just looks so dated and ordinary next to it.

Nerds don't use iPhones?

I always laugh at people that get all bet out of whack at what they think of people wearig 3D glasses or using an iPad. Why in the fuck is it of concern to you?

Oh, and why in the fuck do you only have to be a fucking nrd to use these things.

Who in the fuck are you?

You fucking special or something?

Your shit don't stink?

calm down.

you got it all wrong.  I'm a nerd. I like nerdy stuff.  I might even get a VR unit. But I know how the mainstream thinks.  And the way VR units look, there is no way they take off in the mainstream.  

again the mainstream just won't buy something that makes them look like this:



No matter how cool it is.

I spent time in Iraq in the Army. I got a little different perspective about these cretin than you do.

Being the military base idiot doesn't give you a "let's screw the American people" card.  

Last time I checked, the terrorists didn't use iPhones or encryption when the Sept. 11 attacks occurred.  See how well that worked?

No... it was a combined effort of many government idiots that dropped the ball.
