Wi-Fi Qualcomm vs Intel lottery is what affecting iPhone 7. The TSMC vs Samsung lottery had affected iPhone 6.
And I have got to say the difference on the wifi is huge if you have something to compare it to.
Qualcomm radio chip is like 40% better than Intel in range and throughput.

You would never know the difference if you didn't download a program to tell you what SoC you had. Also running an app intended to burn the battery as fast as possible won't show real world indications.The Samsung/TSMC lottery I'm talking about affects the A9, which is in the 6S/6S+ and SE.
I'm not even close to convinced that the difference is as negligible as a lot of people say. I see Apple-friendly journalists downplaying it, and owners of the samsung-based phones engaging in what seems to be a lot of motivated reasoning to help reassure themselves that there is no difference. Here's a battery comparison from someone who has both:

I have an iPhone 7 with an Intel modem and it's fine, in my experience. I suspect it only matters a great deal if you're on the fringe of the network.
Purchased two iPhone SEs since I made this thread. I got a 64GB one when they were purging that stock as the 128GB ones came out, then I got one of the 128GB ones too because, inexplicably, several big box stores in NZ started selling them at heavily reduced prices. Both units have the inferior Samsung chip.
They appear to have different screens. The 64GB one is cooler, and black is more black at low brightness levels. The difference isn't glaring, but the 64GB unit definitely has a better screen, which is a PITA as I don't intend to keep it.
