Iphone only excels at nothing right now, it is used to have the best camera and performance but that was taken care with the snapdragon 820 and the gs7 camera, now let's compare my Xperia Z5 to the iPhone 6s, my phone doesn't have the best camera, or the best speakers, or the biggest battery, or the highest storage, nor is the fastest, but each one of those features is great on my phone. Now the iPhone 6s doesn't even have front facing speakers, let alone expandable or respectable internal storage, no water resistance, etc etc.

Android is still slower to the touch (yes, even with the animations off), its battery life is incomparably less consistent than that of iOS (especially the standby times, Google seems to not know what they're doing, or, more likely than not, they just don't care.

    Hell, Google apps on iOS are better than their Android counterparts.

    Most of these vocal Android fanboys probably got their phone thinking that it'd make them special or something. It's really pathetic.

        apple loves control and they will suck your blood dry for money but everything they do they do to perfection.

          That moment when you have a Sony device and it's just perfect, Xperia z5 ftw, by the way apple fanboys deserve anything apple does to them, Apple owns then anyways. Poor sheeps.

I could see them wanting people to buy new headphones but frankly, I don't think they'll want to screw up with the ones that own high end stuff. I'm more inclined towards them killing the need for external DACs with a better one on the phone, not externally.

                            No. The reason is very balanced great device which people love to use.

                            There's a big reason why Apple customer satisfactions are so high.

                            When it's last time you owned iPhone?

                              and cant see any proud samsung fans showing their gear or gear 2 ( even if they bought it out of shame they might not be wearing outside )

                                I'm not bothered by this news since I'm not an iphone user. I just hope the other manufacturers don't follow this trend.

Android in its current versions is better than ios in my point of view .
                                  if someone get used to an OS he feels other OS is difficult to use if he doesn't continue to use it with an unbiased mind for sometime. same goes with Android and ios. so OS is nothing to be compared
                                  but if you look at hardware internals you can see the truth. apple is making big money over pricing the devices per year and they find new methods to squeeze your wallet like this now and then.
                                  but it is your money you can do anything with it.
