Better speed over what? Last year's iphone x maybe with cat 12 600/150..what a joke in 2017!

This year for XS, they still using cat 16 capped at 1024/150 whereas 7months old S9 is on cat 18 1200/200!

Now iFans will retort with their trademark "its well optimzed, gives lagfree smooth LTE ;P, its only numbers on paper..real life speed is fasterest ;), we don't need more..happy with the speed, etc etc BS justifying excuses)

Fine, enjoy ur slow connection on the fastestestest A12..lmao..but 1500$ for the most basic feature, LTE Tech from 2years back?!
And i thought lack of sd card, ram, 3.5mm, low res screen, premature battery were bad.
So apple fails to deliver the most basic feature of its times. Kudos to ur trillion $$ crown. iFans must be zombies to be allured with these slow outdated fugly bricks!

    Better LTE speeds for the phone but then Telecoms like Globe and Smart still provide $hit LTE speeds that are barely faster than our regular Wi-Fi (which also has crap speeds, you pay like $20 a months for 2 Mbps connection).

                            Maybe not that important in real life, but I guess samsung's mockery has paid off.

                            Apple fans should thank Samsung ;)

                                Is it just me but when apple benchmarks are better android people say go for real world tests.. Like a12 processor vs sd 845
                                Whereas when s9 overtook apple in gigabit lte.. Apple users used the same argument... My carrier gives internet at 10mbit over 4g and my wifi is a 40mbit..don't really see why it would want to go for either team when my isp is my bottleneck

                                  All that is fine, but what's the improvement, if any, in the camera performance.
