Anonymous, 13 Oct 2014It's funny how haters, just label it as 'incremental' so it... moreAnd no. It was declared among the top. The S5 and Z2 work overall better.
Plus a good amount of phones take better photos at least. S5 in most, but not all cases, z2 a lot, Note 3 in cases too, obviously no phone can match the 1020 and 808 in photos yet, and so on.

Plus DXMO has a habbit of taking time between tests like that eliminating other possibilities.
Like how the Note 4 camera pretty much demolishes the iphone 6 camera. As well does the Z3.

And I don't think they even tested the Galaxy K Zoom yet. Far superior optics to the iphone plus 10x optical zoom.

Also there is a difference between hating a brand, and knowing the cold hard facts. Ones you are obviously blind to.
Apple is nothing but a wannabe umbrella corp. They are among the most evil and greedy of them all.

IOS is nothing more than limitations and laziness of not implementing features in order to create the illusion they put more work in it and then claim it makes it so premium while charging the up most top dollar for it. And millions of people every day enable this by blindly defending it and then paying for it.

They could not even come up with the names Iphone, IOS, or Ipad for instance without stealing them from existing products.
That coupled with mostly outdated hardware...And then continually having the world lead in app crashes by a large margin...Plus how unstable IOS 5, 7, and 8 have been...

All add up to it being one of the largest socially accepted scams around.

    Every iphone has not been in the top. And the ones that were had reasons. Which do not consist of "its better optimized".

    The one biggest reason for most advantages in speed IOS has comes from compete system wide lock down/restriction.
    That coupled with lacking most features. Those facts gives an illusion it's "way better optimized".....but the bugs and continuing world lead in app crashes shows that's not true.

    And if they were so amazing at optimizing then they would add in more current features.
    Plus in these types of arguments to believe that Android is not optimized and that these oems are not optimizing these phones is plain foolish.

    Those together give it "TINY" speed gains. Nothing spectacular. The rest is just negatives of lacking current technology.

    Also sometimes they have used good gpu's. And most of the time they lacked the resolution of other devices.
    So restrictions, low resolution, and good gpu.
    So technically it runs decent,  but does not mean you are actually getting the most out of it out your monies worth.

    Plus those are just benchmarks. Again real world use,  especially the past couple years, is just a totally different story for ios with more bugs and freezing.
    And for many years it had factually been proven to largely have the world lead in app crashes.

        If the next Ipad really does have the A8X and 2GB ram...this might be my first Apple product.

          2GB of ram? That's way too much. iOS only needs 1GB of ram. They should cut down on that. *sarcasm*

          But in all seriousness, if the new iPad will have 2GB ram, maybe the iPhone 6 Plus should also have had a bigger amount. Maybe at least 1.5GB. Preferably 2GB.

          If the argument is that iPad is a tablet and will be used for more stuff, well the 6+ is basically a phablet, and people will probably use it more as a tablet than a phone.

                Apple has been 'incrementally' updating the iPhone for 8 years, by this logic, Android smartphones should be 100x faster by now no? Yet this is clearly not the case.

                Yet every iPhone that comes out, is right up there in benchmarks. iPhone 6 camera declared best by DxO labs. Performance benchmarks put it as one of the fastest phones available right now. Etc etc

                iPhone is not for everyone, but neither is Android. Hating on a phone brand is ujst simply lame in this day and age.

                Take a chill pill, cos you've been doing it for a long time. You're not just a hater anymore, you're an old hater, and that's just sad.

                    Powerful and efficient. I hope Apple continues to develop along this path.
