        I've used some iPhones but don't liked them. Android is my favorite. I will never buy an apple device.

                    Anonymous, 19 Aug 2016wtf. You don't want to buy an overpriced phone but you buy ... moreThanks. However The 617 chip in the A9 works incredibly well. So much so our business bought 3. We also have one iPhone. In reality and HTC with 617 is a very good chip did an absolutely fantastic job on it with the over all core set. The unit is beautiful and has an above average wow factor. Loads of other features make it a solid, speedy set. The near stock Android and other tweaks make it super zippy and satisfies a rather demanding environment.

                    It is mid to upper reach. On the physical side, it's the best to hold more so than our iPhone. No question about that.
                    If you want a V 8 engine, go for it. We don't play games but do business so a super 6 cylinder in the A9 so to speak sings along handsomely.

                        Several factors are working against Apple iPhone such as the stale limited iOS, ugliest design on the market with c-section antenna lines, overly big bezels that make the phone size cumbersome, specs comparable to low to mid end Android devices and way overpriced for what little you get.

                          So more than doubling one's market share is a little improvement? Riiigghhttt....

Lol You have no idea about VR. VR is the future that arrives early. But Samsung has already included the ability to set the resolution down to 1080p and even 720 in the Note7 when not using VR so battery life should never be a problem anymore. And next year's S8 will have 4K screen specifically for VR, then it's gonna be a truly amazing VR device.

Apple ported multi-window... yet this year... ONLY on their biggest tablet.
                              And very soon the multi-windowing will be supported natively by Android, which means almost every device on Nougat will be able to show you two apps on your screen (TouchWiz allows as much apps as your memory can handle, Pixel C allows a similar feature too)

                                First 64-bit processor? A quick wiki shows that Apple can't be credited for that.
                                TouchID? Clearly you mean biometric/fingerprint security methods. Not invented by Apple.
                                Front-facing camera? Don't make me laugh
                                Panorama photos? First patent for that technology goes to Joseph Puchberger (1843 - before Apple)
                                Multi-tasking? Wut?
                                I just can't be bothered to continue. Maybe I missed your punchline somewhere.
                                FWIW I pledge no allegiance, I use a W810i/C510/K750i (depends how I feel). Okay, so maybe I pledge my allegiance to devices that I can set the alarm on, and then turn the device off knowing it will turn on itself when it's time to get up. I don't believe this can be done on any modern smartphone? Although I don't really care, I like my 10 year old phone that gives 15 days of battery life.

                                      When apple market share goes up, all android fanboys are complaining about how "dumb" "isheeps" are. When apple market share goes down, all android fanboys say that apple will die. So what should sales be like? It doesn't care, the apple haters always come out of their holes and spam the comment section with troll comments.

                                        2. Idol 4s with SD652 is not comparable to iPhone 6s/SE. More to iPhone 6.
                                        3. All these phones are priced similar and are very similar (except Idol 4s which is not high end), if you say the android one offer more, you are clearly a fanboy
                                        4. You can never have enough performance. Because in maybe 4 years, todays flagships will have to fight to run the OS without lags.
                                        5. What about 3D Touch? (I know huawei made the first pressure sensitive display but only after there were rumors all over the place that apple will also make one, and it is not as good as the one on the iPhone) The first 64bit processor? TouchID? Front-facing camera? panorama photos? Multitasking? An App Store? All things apple invented.
