The new 4.7-inch iPhone is here and, just like the rumors predicted, the headphone jack is no more.

We’ve taken a few recent flagships and laid out their specs for your perusal, including Sony’s new Xperia XZ. With most top-tier Android devices running Snapdragon 820, these phones end up having a lot in common. However, there’s a few key differences to keep things interesting.
