Ok yesterday I've been using the 7 for over an hour at the store. I really loved the phone, the quality, everything. I really loved the size and I didn't care about the DPI of the screen, the items, etc. (changed the text to small).

But I'll go straight to the things I saw that are enough to me, to completely discard iOS.

1) The home button. It's at the bottom of the phone and when you tap it or double tap it, you can do some kind of "slide effect", so you need to grab the phone more from the bottom to get a more solid grip (specially in summer when your hand is not so dry). I think Apple should replace this button with a capacitive button where no pressure at all is needed.

2) The Speed (the most important thing I care). iOS is smooth and everything. But it has a lot of (I don't know the proper word) "retarders", "delays" that start ignoring what you do with your fingers when something is loading or just finished loading. And I hated this.

Example 1: you can't switch to another app, 2 times in row, (double tap home button -> tap new app -> double tap again -> tap new app), you have to wait for the animations (and the load hidden behind the animation) to finish. (and the 3D Touch option is not better). And after this, you have to wait before switching to another app. If you switch app, wait, switch app, wait, switch app, wait. You're good to go.

( Also... If you use the new Nougat double tap that let you switch an app in much less than a half of a second, you will be crying with iOS multi tasking ).

Example 2: if you open an App, and you already know your next two or three moves (next two/three taps you will do in the screen after the app load), you can't take advantage of it. Something like open an app and click an option as soon as you see it and right after that, click another 3rd option, go back, etc. So I need to adapt to these "iOS pauses", if you adapt to it, you won't be doing failed actions all the time. But at the same time, you'd be using your phone in an "slower but smoother way".

Example 3: Scrolling, I have to forget about fast scrolling, accelerated scrolling (after 2 or 3 swipes), etc. iOS scrolling is sweet and smooth, but really slow. (I tried Safari and theVerge.com to test this).

So in Summary, I don't like the 5X (and Android) when it stutters, this happens specially when the CPU is throttled, or also, when you RAM is full (you were playing a game, like Hearthstone and constantly switch between apps) and when you start spamming the phone like hell (and this still happens in Pixel too, according to AndroidPolice 5-days review, you can start spamming animations and you will face some stutters. Obviously not at the same level as the 5X, which I assume is much more slower).

But at least the speed is not capped in Android/Google phones, you can work at your own speed. Now, in iOS, everything is wonderland, but you have to adapt your speed to the system speed, and this is not an advantage to me.

All this, obviously, depends on how you use your phone. I know I'm like a spammer, but I actually do things when I spam the phone with taps.

Sorry for the lesser off topic, but now that the Google phone and Apple phone are matched in price, I think it was ok to compare both phones. My idea was to buy the 7 and use it for a few days, but I think 1 hour at the store was enough, at least for now.

I'll try again the iPhone next year, it's nice to know how the other OS works! View the pros and cons, etc.
