But I guess those can be environment friendly IF they are actually recycled. Which doesn't happen all that often where I live.

              i don't know why but this are more premium materials and more environment friendly and Apple likes that.

                Shellshock, 21 Oct 2014lol..Apple didn't have a fashion iphone until iphone 4..3g/... moreThis is why I said "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Back then I liked the curved back and edges of the iPhone 3GS. When iPhone 4 was released, it seemed ugly.
                To this day, I don't understand why people want aluminum phones so bad. Coming from someone who has bad circulation, the last thing I want is to hold a metal phone that is cold to the touch.
                If it enabled a better grip I could understand, but it's just as slippery as normal plastic. At least plastic can be shaped with slight bumps, for example, that can improve your grip.

                What sapphire glass? The only sapphire glass that phone has is in it's TouchID button. And I don't think people press so hard on the sensor, that it needed extra protection.

                        This! A hundred times this!
                        Personally I find it stupid and silly when Samsung tries those "Galaxy better than iPhone" commercials. Although they do make a point sometimes...

                        I kinda find the Vertu phones ugly. Like REALLY ugly. But Android users do have the option to buy phones by their liking. On the other hand, if you don't like Apple's design, tough luck trying out the latest iOS.
                        I actually liked their design sense up until iPhone 3GS. Then came iPhone 4 that lost all it's luxury look in my opinion. (Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.)

                              AVMAx, 21 Oct 20141) (I love it how these apple fans brag about sales... :-D ... more1) Sales doesn't necessarily mean higher quality. It does mean a great marketing campaign, which I do admit Apple has.

                              2) A 64-bit processor is useless with 1GB RAM. Do you even know why 64-bit processing is a thing? Because with 32 bit, the system is limited when it comes to how much RAM it can use. Why do you think that Linux and Windows only recommend the 64bit versions of the OS when you have more than 4GB of RAM? Because 64bit computing uses more RAM for the same tasks, and there is no practical benefit unless you have the extra RAM.
                              This is were Apple's marketing campaign came in.

                              Image processing is cool and all, but I would rather have RAW output. That way I can tweak the pics how I want in Photoshop. Oh, and don't pretend like no other photo camera company has ever developed high end sensors and all that.

                              3)"Next, copy all 1000 features they have, add 2 of your own." Firstly, companies copy features from one another because the public wants them. Secondly, if they can recreate the features, (and even add on top of them), and then release with a lower price tag, then in some ways it is better. (not the best mind you, just better).
                              And don't pretend that Apple doesn't copy ideas. NFC and Apple pay ring any bells? The idea existed in the Android ecosystem for some time. TouchID? Motorola had a fingerprint scanner back in 2011. Laptop manufacturer had them even earlier. Notification center? Android had it first. And I'm sure the list goes on. But I don't think that copying is a bad thing. Ultimately this benefits the public. Companies need to learn from one another, see what was good in a product and improve upon it. It's called competition, and it exists in all industries.

                                      Android fanboys are so funny.

                                      They claim they are smart. So they use a phone that cannot decide anything for you, you have to set it up for days on end aka a dumb phone.

                                      They follow on to claim iPhone cannot be tweaked, aka a phone that help you decide on your behalf.. or a smartphone with all the features working out of the box.

                                      So an android user have to be smart, and the phone is dumb.. is that what you guys mean?
