There was news spreading thru the internet that the recently launched IPhone 7 gadgets are not all the same when it comes to performance. Tests were done by gadget experts confirming that the phones made with lower storage capacity such as 32 GB are significantly slower than phones with higher storage capacity like 128 GB and 256 GB.

The Guardian confirmed that saving of files like photos, videos, music, and others in a 32GB IPhone 7 is much slower than saving in a 128GB phone. It was noticed that IPhone 7 plus with model numbers A1778 and A1784 have poorer performance than model numbers A1660 and A1661.It is also said that the network providers are not the ones to be blamed for slow speed. Users should check the model of their corresponding IPhone to determine. For consumers who are planning to buy an IPhone 7, it will not hurt to check gadget reviews first from experts such as GSM Arena and Unbox Therapy.

The Unbox Therapy video will clearly explain an example , as Forbes made an emphasis on the video review that the copying of HD Movie in a 32GB phone is  9 times slower than copying to 256 GB. Most IPhone users don't have an idea that the storage of the phone will have a great impact on its performance. The consumer will go to an Apple Store or distributor and will be asked the preferred storage capacity, thinking approximately how much data or files is needed. If the user doesn't have much to save, then the 32 GB is the best choice. Of course, the user doesn't know that there will be a significant effect on the performance. It is strongly suggested that sellers should also highlight this when discussing the features of the product to the customer. This is giving the Buyer a clear option on which model is worth buying.

Other point mentioned by Tech2 , is that if IPhone 7 owner is a light user , mostly browsing, common apps usage and gaming, the speed will not be an issue since it will not use much bandwidth and 32 GB phone will suffice. Dong Ngo from CNET pointed out that read speed will remain the same for light activity. If there will be massive files to download, then users are better off with 128 GB or 256 GB. New buyers should consider what was earlier mentioned before buying the IPhone 7.
