What are the iOS 11 adaption figures vs Android 8 again?

There are no such calculations, but I am sure that, when tthey will be released, there is going to be a higher percentage than Android 7 (8 is a sweet dream for most users).

Doesn't matter. And iPhone with iOS 11 still does less than a 5 year old Android that will never be updated again.

What was the exploding Note 7 given?

If the Note 7 exploded during their testing then you'd have a point. However, Phone Arena's iPhone 8 test unit did have this call quality flaw - which they do mention.

The iPhone is not the only phone to lunch with issues, the One Plus and one of the new Moto's had the flipped screen mounting issue during its review phase. It didn't affect the review scores of either of those devices.

Also If people don't know by now that issues are excreted with initial batches than they have been living under a rock.

The Google Pixel had and still has countless hardware issues to this day and it's review score has remained the same.

Why would the Pixel's review score change. They never change the score for problems arising after the review. Those other phones you mention would only have an affected score had the reviewers unit had problems.

Look at the low score Essential received for their new phone. It was due to poor performance of the reviewers unit. Essential is sending out a fix for it but it will not change the score given at the time of PA's review.

No you are definitely right, a device that has a software update released for it within days of its release fixing an issue should be scored down, but a device that has had issues from day one and still has them should keep its review score.

You do people even understand what reviews are for? They are for people to read and understand what they will be buying into, if a device has an issue which has been fixed than the review stands as accurate as it mentions the fault and I fully expect them to update the review stating it has been fixed.

However in the case of the Pixel, it still has all its hardware defects, just google Pixel problems or visit one of the Pixel forums, it's a horrid device.

None of the reviews picked up on the problems with the Pixels, but that doesn't mean they didn't exist, it's just that the reviewers didn't use the phone long enough to discover the problems and they are still there.

So if someone reads the pixels review, it's inaccurate and it doesn't mention the hardware defects you will be buying into. As I said the score remained unchanged.

I absolutely love stock Android and my most anticipated device of the year is the new Pixel XL so trust me I'm not trying to ruin the Pixel imagine, I want it to be awesome but Google messed up the first generation Pixel.

However let's be honest, the real issue here it's the iPhone that has an issue and the fandroids here just want the iPhone to die, if it was any other phone with these issues, Noone would care, but because it's Apple and an iPhone, fandroids need some unknown form of satisfaction knowing the iPhone received a bad score.

So phone arena please reduce the iPhone score to -9. It will really please the fandroids crowd as they need this just to survive.

The problem with the iPhone, is it always launches with issues. Every single model has first always and still connectivity issues,

The iPhone is the single highest selling defective phone ever sold on the open market.

In which country are you living coz my my Mom's 7 plus didn't recieved any update.

18. maherk (Posts: 6080; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)

He lives in Lebanon and so do I.
I also received the updated on my iPad yesterday, but I'm yet to download and install it.

19. Plasticsh1t (Posts: 2995; Member since: 01 Sep 2014)

How did you figure it out? I don't remember he mentioned that he's Lebanese (unless I missed it). Or maybe you know the guy?

21. maherk (Posts: 6080; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)

You missed it. He once mentioned it like probably 2 years ago, or maybe less.

20. Sammy_DEVIL737 (Posts: 1335; Member since: 28 Nov 2016)

Yup recieved it now.

22. maherk (Posts: 6080; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)

Hopefully no more bugs.
Enjoy it.

23. Sammy_DEVIL737 (Posts: 1335; Member since: 28 Nov 2016)

Yup everything seems pretty fine now.
