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...

            Just the way you put a sentence together shows that you must be at least a genius plus.

                Why is the protruding camera an issue? The Nexus 5 has one and no mention of it as a con in your review. I have both the N5 and iPhone 6...the camera protrusion issue is ridiculous.

                    According to these specs this is a mid range phone not a high end phone. The only thing that is high end is the $PRICE$.

                      All my life I used PC's and mobile phones from brands like Nokia, Motorola and Sony, what's all the fuss with this company is this a Chinese manufacturer of phones ? why they still have only 1 GB of RAM and low resolution screens ? only dual-core and no multitasking ? is this a joke ? or just a Nokia 3310 competitor ?

Current top Android phones (especially the N4, which is powerful enough to drive 4k displays) many times that amount. Silly assumptions with your GPU 2x theory are hilarious though.

                            The Note 4 has 3 GB quad channel (let that sink in for a while...) RAM. Your quoted 450 MB/s max is way off.

                              harlekkin, 28 Sep 2014When did Apple "fans" EVER mock Android for specs... moreUser experience?

                              Apple users never experience the ease of b/t transfer. Apple users never experience usb otg. Apple users never experience drag and drop files without itunes. And the list goes on and on.

                              Apple users only started to experience nfc while android already have it for years. And they only started to experience a phone with more than 4 inch screen. Pity..

                              User experience? Haha.. You really made my day.

                                No matter the competition, if you put it up against ios for me loses (but i don't want either to disappear so as to keep the prices in check). I have both devices and i notice that i am using apple more often. There are a lot of factors you can consider but at the end of the day it is how you use the device for productivity or entertainment not by the amount of customizations you can do (i don't spend my day only doing customizations since the screen always sit behind an app say facebook or a game anyways). And the apps alone speaks for themselves. Between my 2 devices, i always get frustrated when the app i'm currently into in ios is not available in android. I never felt it the other way around. I was ready to buy the flagship android vs iphone 6 but before doing so, i had to do a quick check of the apps i will be getting. You guessed it, it was a deal breaker for me for android and i ended up with iphone 6. I can buy both but i know i will be using the apple again more than the android one. Though i really like the z3 and then the note 4 (which i can both easily buy along with the iphone 6). When it comes to specs, the impression for me is that it takes android a deal amount of specs just to make it run smooth like ios using less specs.

Never. iPhone has always had lower specs and features, which people have critised Apple for since the original iPhone. And that's never stopped anyone from buying it.

                                    User experience beats specs my friend.
