    This is the article that mosts interest me
    http://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_6s_family_rumored_to_feature_a_12mp_camera_module-news-12881.php

    This will be Apples response to the(Samsung made Iphone) the S6/S6 Edge and how Apples iPhone6S is 4MP less than Samsung

    I mean with the iPhone6 6+ everything was better but the camera remained at 8Mp ram 1Gb for the 4th year just a bigger display but still the S5 was "plastic" so nothing to make people jump ship.

    The S6 / S6 Edge isn't plastic

      wee, 03 Jul 2015yes they're all manufactured in foxcom but the materials an... moreThe materials aren't provided by Sony/Apple/Whatever, they're provided by another company all together, it's called a supply chain. It's very, very rare for a single company to do everything from design to manufacture on that scale these days, it is often simply not economical. Upside of which is it does promote international co-operation, even if in ways that aren't really that beneficial to anyone other than shareholders.

Also, your statement about Android being strongly on the rise was very misleading, if not intentionally biased. According to Kantar, YoY, Android has grown about 3%. The three months you cite included the three months directly following the last iPhone's release. The opposite could have been said at the end of last year. "Android in massive decline!" But only people like you, it seems, would believe a headline like that because of your limited ability to look at the data.

                  Remember, Apple, Sony, Microsoft, Google, Dell, Motorola Nintendo and many others all use Foxconn, a Chinese company, as a manufacturer for instance.

                                    Plus Android strongly on the rise (from 47.7% at the end of 2014 to 64.9% end of may) and iOS equally strong in decline (47.6% at the end of 2014, 30.9% at the end of may).

                                    Comscore numbers for starters do not account for sales of non personally owned devices (company owned).

                                      Apple is the example of capitalism in America, dont do nothing special, nothing of inovation buy put a price tag too expensive in theyr products because know americans can buy it, stupid really! in other countrys people only buy apple for status!

                                      because i dont belive (with better and less expensive options) you will buy a 10x more expensive phone like outdated iphones!
