          Haha listen to all these fandroids bagging out apple.. Apple makes that best phones with the best OS also has the best appstore with the best apps.. when you buy an Iphone you get the whole product, Android has to pack so much hardware into their phones to try to complete yet they still cant make a phone with the same form factor as an Iphone, this is why if you have the cash you will most likely buy an Iphone...

                Apple has no new innovation and coating with sapphire that is not necessary. Next time it may bring gold coated back cover and pretend to have been produced the best phone. It's specifications and price is unsuitable. Chinese phones has better hardware and half of the price. Do not think iphone is expensive because of quality, check BOM or bill of materials , , it's actual price is around $250 for 5s. Xiaomi is showing the world the actual price of smart phones. Apple has only good thing is better security system in software ios.

                          My point is that while everyone seems to have used up their advantage and stretched their legs to the max. apple has kept an inherent technological advantage and still can impress with little effort.

And as anyone can see now, while samsung really couldn't add a QHD display this year because a 2.5GHz quad core isn't enough, apple is still using a 1.3 GHz dual core. They could easily power a QHD display with a modest quad core under 2.0 GHz while no android phone could do that.

                                Apple instead of using cosmetic on its few years old technology, better do some serious changes in hardware and display and memory and giving choice to consumers.
                                Apple is just offering nice fonny look with high price with really low performance compare to modern age smartphones.

                                        Coincidentally, an article about BOTH Apple and Google, and how they both pursue innovation in different manners:
