onex, 09 Jan 2014i think you meant to say: iPhone 6 is going for the S4....m... morefirst of all i'm a fan of htc
except that i believe talking with proof is the only right thing whether it shows apple is better than your favorite brand or not,
but since you look you are unaware of technology since iphone5 i gotta mention that Geekbench score of apple's 5S (a7 64-bit processor) is higher than Samsung's S4 both in single-core & multi-core
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2424668,00.asp
there are many other links just look for geekbench to compare cpu is cross-platform comparisons.
so it shows the dominate processor & talking about video chip is something else though
study more my friend, if you don't know what is geekbench then it means you just said that with no proof.

      Iris scanner or fingerprint scanner on a phone, particularly implemented with a not-so-secure operating system as Android, is definitely not good for users as spying is the trend these days through various applications.

        Jarret, 10 Jan 2014So, you go for crAPPLEshit...ha ha haTypical Samsung fanboy. Always has Apple on the brain. He never mentions Apple. It may be a surprise to you, but there are other manufacturers besides Samsung and Apple.

            AnonD-13148, 10 Jan 2014This sounds stupid for now. Maybe this is going to be a gam... moreIf it's anything like Smart Pause then it will be little more that a mildly useful gimmick. It will need perfect lighting to work and will not recognize your eye in low light. Another half-baked "feature" just to fill up the paper specs.

                    i think that i6 is more to be watch out phone than s5. they already release 64bit, f-scanner, and samsung can't go beyond that yet, they'll copy it first on their 5s! i just think.

                        See how Apple movement affects Samsung's movement?

                        When iP5 came out, no new feature was introduced, just spec bump and larger screen. The S4 didn't came out with any noteworthy feature too. (Those Air Gestures doesn't count, cause I've yet to see anyone waving their hands in front of their S4 in public. In short, everyone turned that feature off.)

                        Then the iP5s came out with a fingerprint sensor that actually works, that people are willing to abandon the conventional way of unlocking their phone. Guess what Samsung wants to put in the S5?

                          Iris scanner, now that's cool. Fingerprint is soooo passe.

                            did it work?

                                      Apple will copy and improve this idea in iPhone 8 and call it a day.
