iClarified:
A new video confirms previous reports that the 32GB iPhone 7 has 8X slower write speeds than the 128GB and 256GB models.
Unbox Therapy demonstrates a benchmark and real world test of write speeds on a 32GB and 256GB iPhone 7. The benchmark found that the 256GB model was able to write data at 341 MB/s; whereas, the 32GB was only able to write data at 42 MB/s.
The video is embedded below. Feel free to skip to 1:14 in, where the side-by-side test between the 32GB and 256GB iPhone 7’s starts.
Is this a big deal? I’d say, it’s worth keeping in mind if you are on the fence between the 32GB and 128GB iPhone 7.
UPDATE: Turns out this is standard for SSDs. Larger SSDs are faster because of parallel design. Here’s a link to a site that explains this pretty well (H/T Rob Pickering and Robert Davey).
God I can’t stand UnboxTherapy.
Turns out… well, turns out it isn’t much of a story. More, “What (fill in the blank) doesn’t want you to know” nonsense.
I would have thought that embedding a video with the ridiculous sensationalist clickbait headline “WHAT APPLE DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW” was beneath The Loop… 🙂
Good update to the post! I thought that seemed like a sketchy accusation by a hater.
you’d think so, wouldn’t you.
32 GB Pixel Speed is over 300 MB/Sec and galaxy s7 is about 150 MB/ sec. Can anyone explain the logic of Apple to me ?
It is a sketchy update. Read this.

This is the same guy who faked the bending iPhone 6.
He simply cannot be trusted.
Can Apple a company that manufactures products for money be simply trusted?. You can even benchmark it yourself instead of just believing it.This kind of leniency makes Apple to take these ‘Courage’ous decisions.
