It creates memory issue.
Plus the world lead in app crashing. The hive bugs. The extra added lag and system freezing of the past year or two....
What's so amazing and not needing of better hardware in that?

I can go to the Apple store without spending a penny and it's done in minutes. Try finding out where can you fix your Android device. Samsung sells you the device. once it's sold GOOD LUCK is that your idea of caring?

        I am using a Samsung Note 3 right now. which claim to have 3GB ram with 2+ GHz snapdragon 800 processor. but trust me I cant chat somebody on whatsapp while the phone is installing an app. It gets stuck. I had an Iphone 4 before this and never had such issues. People get an amazing product for the price they pay for Apple. when crappy phones like Samsung Note are selling at almost same prices. I think problem ain't in the hardware but in the android it self. running bytecode apps always will lack performance. nomatter they use JIT or AOT compiling... And I bet google knows that. let's see what ART does in Android L, but I dont't think it can give the performance of running Native apps.

            If u have features in your phone then u need 2-3 gb of ram. So what u do with 2 gb of ram in iphone6 :p

              ios doesn't need octa core processor, 3GB ram and 3000mah battery. 1GB Ram, and duel core processor more than enough.

That way they can control the security of the transactions. Look at it this way, can any of the android devices sell this much with iphone's 'low' specs? have you ever thought about WHY people are sheeps? Think DEEPER than specs and give me a hundred links. Why is iphone so special? why they can sell millions with 2012 spec? Can anyone else do the same?

                  But apple fans refuse to see this.
                  The argue and defend claiming is because that's all ios needs and because it's supposedly so much more premium than anything else.

                            funny, iphone prices continually creep up with every new model, yet the upgrade and specs list between each new release gets smaller and smaller, all you apple fans who call android fans for expecting bigger specs and more power well you are right, we want value for our hard earned cash, a flagship iphone and a flagship android may not be much difference on price on release date but you can always know that with an android you are generally getting a maxed out model with each new model not just a limited iteration, really if anything apple should be slowly decreasing the prices with each model as the components are no longer top spec but some are YEARS old and thus the parts cost stupidly low prices compared to when they were top of the line....

                              Even the 6+ only had 1GB of ram?!!???
                              Everyone should not have assumed it would have 2.

                              And please gsm. Such an excuse at the end is ridiculous and sound bias.

                              This is pathetic. Yet 95% of any apple fans on these pages are going to fight to the death that this somehow makes it better.

It is possible to play a music, then switch to play store to download an application, then switch to youtube to watch a video while disabling the video sound all the while running skype in the background provided you have enough ram in your android phone.

                                        gam30toronto, 17 Sep 2014Let me ask you just this. The WORLD had NFC on phones for m... moreInstead of you Tim Cook should making a statement defending the indefensible

                                        There were rumours in August that BOTH the iPhone6 & 6+ would only have 1Gb and I posted that these were especially the 6+ as stupid, (I am NOT an Apple FAN just liking all the other phones)

                                        With the iPhone6+ having only 1GB Ram it is the ONLY 16GB 5.5" to have 1GB ON THE PLANET so Apple are first

                                        Even GSMarena (without sight/specs of the 6+) listed it @2Gb RAM exercising common sense

                                        This explains why there is such lead time between (LIMITED /redacted specs in the announcement) to shipping sell before the customer gets wise

                                        There has NOT been one positive statement since 09/09

                                        Here are the omitted facts
                                        NO Sapphire Coating
                                        NO Gorilla Glass
                                        iPhone 6 A8 GPU benchmark suggests it's behind the curve http://www.gsmarena.com/iphone_6_a8_gpu_benchmark_suggests_its_behind_the_curve-news-9630.php
                                        NFC on the iPhone 6 only works with Apple Pay
                                        NFC in the IP6/6+ only installed to facilitate Apple Pay in e.g. Starbucks Macdonald (Who BTW already have the NFC terminals, and if like me you have a NFC enabled "contactless" credit card,)

                                        the ONLY reason NFC was installed is for the 15C per transaction Apple will be paid
                                        So your comments are baseless as ONLY if NEW terminals are installed to replace existing adding NFC will Apple Brand be positive, based on cost don't expect much http://www.gsmarena.com/nfc_on_the_iphone_6_works_only_with_apple_pay-news-9659.php

                                        I expect given the minuscule increase the 4.7" Iphone6 will be another poor performer

                                        A person on a 2year iPhone contract will be updating from the iPhone5 to the iphone6 apart from size what have they got very little http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4910&idPhone2=6378

                                        Apple can no longer claim to have a premium product, even the mid-range Nokia Lumia 830 which calls itself midrange has far better specs

                                        The IP6 may / may not post better benchmarks than the IP5S so what, milliseconds.
                                        I really do not envy anyone who has an iPhone, I am more suprised that they paid what they did and having paid such a price deserve better

                                        iphone are an emepty boast it's more "You do know how much I paid"
