Apple iPhone 6 review: Scaled to order

26 September 2014
This is Apple like we’ve never seen before. Apple like we never thought we’ll see. To begin with, there’s supposed to be no better iPhone than the iPhone 6. That’s the sort of thing you’d expect of Apple. Come September every year, the world grabs a bag of...

Or even something else that's still overall way better drastically cheaper.
And on top of being better in software and hardware they are more original, less restricted, and not shameless illegal pieces of cr@ap.

    So, if you read review carefully you see that iPhone is no1 in benchmarks, far ahead z3, alpha and GS5. Then you see that it has superb camera, nevermind it is "only" 8 MP. Then you see first class build quality and premium materials. You hear that Retina HD is simply great screen as usual, Apple is clever enough not to go for stupid QHD, and Full HD is reserved for Plus. And finnaly battery which is thin because of design, but still slightly better than Galaxy Alpha and on par with G3. iPhone is still best allrounder on the market

        I haven't seen such a long list of negatives in any phone I guess.. Lol.. Well apple is worst than any android smartphone I have used in the past couple of years.. I have an ipad, and after the last update its become a blackberry.. It lags and hangs and applications crash and dropbox is impossible to use coz if I zoom in on an image it just gets stuck there, no response, it just hangs there, even after I close and reopen the application it doesn't help.. I have to remove it from the multitasking (or should I call it that) tray and only then it starts working again and the same happens on zooming.. And this happened in front of my client.. I was so embarrassed and seriously thank that I had a giant android phone and I could go ahead with the meeting and show the images on that..

        Apple is becoming blackberry slowly.. The premium famous smartphone gone horribly wrong..

          Meaning while in movie mode the colors are very accurate.
          So Amoled is only with blacks and massive contrast, overall less power consuming, evenly lit without random bright spots, less reflective, better in direct sunlight, and can give a level of saturation that people in the real world like and LCD cannot produce.

          Plus in Movie mode it has better white balance, very accurate colors, retains black and contrast, on even lighting....That's way more natural than.....

          Accurate colors, fake blacks, fake whites, lacking contrast, more reflection, less even lighting and random bright spots, and so on.....

          You have no facts....Just apple love.

Take a look at phone arena display comparison. I for one don't want the Note 4. If I was looking for a phablet I would have bought the iPhone 6 Plus not the iPhone 6. The bendgate is a farce, with enough force I can bend my iPad 4 too, I'm sure. The crook from the bending video still didn't explain how come when he was bending the i6+, the phone shows the time 2:26, and after is bent the phone shows the time 1:58. You need to apply an unnatural amount of force to bend the i6+, but the gap on the Note 4 is real, you don't need to do anything to get it;).

Sometimes I think the phone didn't register my press on the power button to wake it up, so after 2 seconds I press again, just as the screen lights up, and then switches off following the second press. Cool, huh?

                        So basically all you really did is go into this head first with a one sided opinion from the start and bash.
                        Anything the Note has superior you just claimed to be useless.....But every little thing you think is better on the iphone....even if it's not....is so superior and amazing and innovative.

                        The same old story. Everything the iphone does not have or is not as good at is something useless anyway...until it gets it. Then it's the best there ever was.

                        The truth is that the Note 4 demolishes the iphone in just about every possible way.
                        Even the S3 is a much better overall device.
                        Sure the Iphone will be a little faster and stronger....Great while your sitting their showing your friends how you can open apps a little faster someone will be using the S3 to a more enjoyable true smartphone experience.

                                  Also, i am sure that the region lock is part of the reason for Samsungs declining sales and it should be. I dont like iPhone 6 but they work, everywhere, cant say the same about Note 4.
