Depends heavily on the task and way you're using it. They both excel at different things.
Besides "using iOS apps" what exactly is the iPad's use case? Certainly the Surface line as a whole has seen a really big uptake from the art community. So while the pen specs are slightly better on the iPad side it doesn't seem to influence consumer behavior.

Apple earns about 94% of the smartphone industry profit with just 14% of the market. It's a thing.
I think his point is that they command only a small fraction of the market at this point meaning they aren't the Goliath everyone is trying to beat. Everyone would love to have Apple profit margins but their market share is so small that there's plenty of room to co-exist without "killing" Apple.

This is not what Google is betting on, hence the DayDream VR.
Sure, but you don't need anything more than 1080p for an $80 vr headset. It's a value purchase, not a quality purchase.
It blows my mind that there's not a single positive top level comment yet. Seriously, guys, what's up with the culture of entitlement and complaining? We're hackers, let's get fucking excited about the new cool gadgets! This phone is awesome . How about, before nitpicking and criticizing, we take a moment to appreciate and celebrate the new technology developed by our colleagues?

I have an unlocked iPhone 7 Plus in my pocket. I bought it from Apple. I gave them my credit card info and they mailed me a phone. It wasn't really that complex. Are you trying to buy a "sim free" phone? I believe those are expected to go on sale soon.
Can you please go with me to the Seattle or Bellevue Apple Store and help me make this transaction? I went to both over the weekend and things did not go well. They didn't seem to understand the basic process you outlined above.

> Very minimal and aesthetically beautiful, but still powerful and customizable. None of which is helpful when the battery is dead. The iPhone still wins on battery life. Maybe the new gen Androids will fix that. I hope so. Edit: I added some data for battery tests in a comment below. Looks like my Android experience is out of date.
3G call time (minutes):[1] HTC10: 1859 LG G5: 1579 S7: 1492 iPhone 7: 712 The results would be closer on pretty much any other test, but it's hard to do an apples to apples comparison on anything other than talk time. Most review sites still find that this generation of Android flagships have longer web browsing times than the iPhone 7. 1: https://blogs.which.co.uk/technology/smartphones/iphone-7-fi...
And yet not a single hard detail in the article as to why the headline might be true. For going on ten years we've seen the "iPhone killers" come and go, and this article does nothing to tell me why this time it will be different. Perhaps because it won't be. Of what very few details the article outlines, they just go on about nifty hardware. Have we not learned by now that cool hardware still sucks when hamstrung by…
You probably haven't used a Google branded Android phone in the last 3-4 years. Project Fi + Nexus 5X + Stock Android is as good as it gets in integration and UX. The other day I lost my phone so I typed "where is my phone" into google. It showed me immediately. How many passwords do you have to type and licences to accept to do that on your Apple cloud? I agree the article doesn't explain it very well, but the botto…
This would be so great if the nexus was an all-purpose, general use phone. Lack of storage expansion (sd card) makes this, in my opinion, not the case.

I was starting to think i was the last person alive that wanted this. Please keep making noise. I really hope the next lineup has a 4".
I'm really hoping the 'tock' for the iphone 7 will include an SE version of it
"Small" designation deliberately omitted. That's what I'd call the iPhone 1 through 4S, but it doesn't seem likely that we'll get any new ones.

Not offered there. You have to be a current Verizon, Att, etc. customer (or sign up for new plan). I've tried.
Looks like you're right. For some reason I thought they started selling unlocked iPhones a few years back.
Fortunately, I'm not feeling the need to replace my Nexus 5X yet. Maybe next summer when the Moto G5 comes out, I'll see if it's worth switching -- or maybe I'll wait until 2018 and get a Moto G6, but I'm not getting a Pixel.
And if some key apps I use ever end up getting ported to Windows 10 Mobile, I'll consider Microsoft for my next device. But that'll be a ways off: I rely on Lyft to get around, so I can't use a phone that has no Lyft app.
