The 32GB storage version of the Apple iPhone 7 is still a good choice for those who don’t need a huge storage. However, from recent tests, the 32GB iPhone 7 is 8 slower than the other versions. Anyway, don’t worry!

The 32GB iPhone 7 is 8 times slower than the others.

Apple iPhone 7 was launched in early September, with three storage options: 32GB, 128GB, and 256GB. This is the first time Apple gets rid of the small 16GB version. For those who don’t have high saving demand, the smallest 32GB version is a suitable choice. However, from recent tests, the 32GB iPhone 7 is 8 times slower than the other versions in terms of transferring data.

As mentioned, the 32GB iPhone 7 got a slower writing and reading speed than that of the 128GB and 256GB versions. However, only the slow write speed brings some limitations for this 32GB version. That said, the read speed on the 32GB iPhone 7 gets the same performance with that of the 128GB and 256GB ones. Thankfully, the read speed is a more important aspect on smartphones. It decides how fast the phone gets up or how many time an app is launched. 

Besides, the 32GB version’s write speed isn’t a big disadvantage. The necessary speed for recording 4K videos (the task requiring highest bandwidth on a smartphone) is about 30MBps. Meanwhile, the average write speed on the 32GB iPhone 7 is 100MBps. This speed is 8 times slower than that of the 128GB and 256GB versions, however, clearly it is big enough to help the phone run smoothly. Besides, the 32GB iPhone 7 got 60MBps of transferring data speed, which is lower than that of other versions. Nonetheless, that speed also higher than the world’s transfer speed (40MBps).

How to get a suitable version of the Apple iPhone 7

Anyway, the bigger storage still brings some advantages for users. If you want to store numerous videos or images, a 128GB version of the iPhone 7 is a better option. Especially, with the 256GB version, there is no need to worry about erasing anything. Of course, these versions come with quite different prices: $649 (32GB), $749 (128GB), and $849 (256GB) So, in case you want to buy an Apple iPhone 7, consider your demand before choosing the suitable version to save your money.
