APPLE

With 57% of the votes, Apple is once again our readers’ favorite premium smartphone maker. Unless you’ve just returned to civilization from the Amazon Jungle, you’ll know all about the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, their two new matte black and jet black finishes, the dual-camera setup on the 5.5-inch model, the craze on launch day, and the fact that Apple has just made tons of money off them. With the “iPhone 8” later this year widely expected to feature an OLED display and support for wireless charging, it’d take a lot from the competition to stop Apple’s most important product from retaining this award next year.
