Also, I mentioned Google Now vs. Siri where Google Now is light years ahead. It understands all my spoken requests and that's a big deal when driving!

Overall, I want waterproof.. wireless charging... Google Now type AI vs. Siri. Their competitors have this .. iPhone 7 should have all or some of these features yet it won't.

Only good thing about the iPhone is it's more secure then Android. Putting my credit on an Android device to use Android Pay vs. Apple Pay is something I don't feel comfortable doing.

Per all my downvotes it looks like the majority still here love Apple. Personally I love innovation and Apple isn't innovating and or being the pioneer they use to be.

Not to be nitpicking, but light years is a measure of distance and not of time :-)

Not to be nitpicking, but parent didn't say it was a measure of time :-)

"Light years ahead" is a common expression meaning "much more advanced".

And there's nothing that says it refers to time (except if we insist on the idea that technology advances with time, so every related analogy must refer to time).

But as an analogy it just as well means "it's much further ahead", as if we were speaking of a race.

I know I am going to get downvoted :D

Whilst it is true that parent didn't say that light years is a unit of time. But I find the general usage of the term incorrect :-)

Light years = distance traveled by light in 365 earth days!!
