what's up guys David here and by now you all know that the iPhone 7 is a beast when it comes to performance but did you know that the iPhone 7 plus actually has an extra gigabyte of RAM at 3 gigabytes instead of just the 2 gigabytes found on the smaller iPhone 7 now of course despite having just 2 gigabytes of RAM the iPhone 7 has had no problem keeping all the apps in the normal speed test open in the background which you can't really say about some Android phones that have double data mounts so today we're going to be adding a few more apps to the speed test in order to push each phone to their limits so we can see whether or not that extra gigabyte of RAM on the 7 plus actually adds up to extra performance but before we get to the speed test I want to give a big shout-out to Braintree payments for sponsoring today's video so developing your own mobile app can be complex but integrating your own payment option no longer has to be with Braintree your business can accept nearly every type of payment from any device with just one integration everything from pesos to PayPal to Android pay and whatever payment option comes next Braintree simple flexible SDKs make your job and your payments easier learn more at Braintree payments comm / phone buff all right let's get to the speed test so you know the drill will kick things off by starting to stopwatches on each phone and then jump into the first row of system apps where like you'd expect the two phones perform just about the same as each moves on to the gaming row now because both phones have the same nvme storage the same a10 fusion processor and they're both running on the same exact software I don't expect to see much of a difference here in the first lab in fact there are only two things that can possibly make a difference here in the speed test the first is obviously the extra gigabyte of RAM on the iPhone 7 plus which we already talked about and the second is the difference in resolution with these seven plus technically pushing more pixels but as you can see here and as we've seen in speed tests in the past it doesn't look like a higher resolution screen makes much of a difference with the phone's loading up and even jumping into the games here at about the same rate and the games you may have noticed that we've added a few more games to this speed test than we normally do in fact many of you have asked why we include so many games in the speed test in the first place and the reason is simple games are generally much heavier applications than other apps like Facebook and Twitter so they take more processing power to launch and usually take up more memory and RAM this in turn helps push each device to its absolute limits allowing us to see which device actually performs better with a smaller amount of total apps in the speed test so yeah you may not play games on a daily just as you may not create time lapses as both devices are finishing up here but these kind of apps do a great job at showing you what you can generally expect out of each phone over the long run and from the looks of it so far the experience you'll get from the iPhone 7 and 7 plus is going to be roughly the same at least when it comes to initially loading up apps with both bones finishing up the first lap with a time of 1 minute and 40 seconds okay so here we go the moment we've all been waiting for will that extra gigabyte of RAM make a difference and yes the two gigs on the iPhone 7 has been maxed out without having to reload asphalt 8 as it does Angry Birds allowing the iPhone 7 plus to finally pull ahead so let's see how the iPhone 7 handles the other apps and okay it looks like it's keeping some of the other apps ready to go in the background so that's good news for the iPhone 7 with the 7 plus looking to have all the apps open to the background finishing with a total time of 2 minutes and 13 seconds with the iPhone 7 and it's 2 gigabytes of RAM actually holding up pretty well having all the other apps besides those first two games ready to go finishing 10 seconds later with the time of 2 minutes and 23 seconds making the winner and a new phone book style speedtest champ the iPhone 7 plus that is it for me in this video thank you guys for watching and as always I'll see you in the very next episode
