The iPhone 7 is slightly better than the Lumia 950 XL, getting a overall score of 81.6 against 75. The iPhone 7 construction is newer, somewhat thinner and lighter than Lumia 950 XL. The Apple iPhone 7 counts with just a little better processing power than Microsoft Lumia 950 XL, because although it has lesser RAM, it also counts with a greater number of cores.

The Microsoft Lumia 950 XL counts with a better looking screen than iPhone 7, because it has a bigger screen, a much higher resolution of 2560 x 1440 and a lot better display density. The Apple iPhone 7 features much more memory for games and applications than Lumia 950 XL, because although it has no SD memory slot, it also counts with more internal memory capacity.

Microsoft Lumia 950 XL features a little bit better camera than iPhone 7, because although it has a tinier aperture which is worse for taking images and/or video in low light situations, and they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rates and the same 3840x2160 video definition, the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL also counts with a lot larger sensor shooting much higher quality photos and a camera in the back with way more mega pixels.

Lumia 950 XL has a much better battery duration than iPhone 7, because it has a 70% larger battery capacity.

Although iPhone 7 is a better device, it costs a lot more than Lumia 950 XL, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Lumia 950 XL. If you prefer to save some money, you can get the Lumia 950 XL, and give up a few specs and features, but you will get the most with your savings.
