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...

      Imagine Apple's A8 running on Android Kitkat with QHD screen? What would be the score on Antutu? between 15k-20k? Hahahaha.

        I want to see the Benchmark of A8 processor running Android 4.4.4 and compare it to Snapdragon 805.

          Just imagine faces at Qualcomm and Samsung after Apple A8 chip results?

          And worst thing is that Apple can double this advantage easily if they use quad core and 2 GB RAM, haha

              Aside from the poor build quality and limited os there are a lot of missing hardware features. The iPhone is a good device for someone wanting a basic phone but it is a long way behind the top phones from Nokia, HTC, Samsung, Sony etc.

                Metal + glass, build quality off the charts

                Best, THE BEST processor in business

                Great camera, the fastest for sure

                Amazing iOS 8. Great looks, great fonts, colours, options

                Siri best voice assistant



                Simply, STILL NO 1 among smartphones, 10 million already sold confirms this

                    Even Snapdragon 805 in Note 4 is not as fast as A8 chip.

                    And it has 3 GB RAm vs 1 GB RAM

                      So, iPhone 6 has the best:

                        OMG, iPhone destroyed Android competition in every performance test. And it managed to do that with only dual core processon with 1 GB RAM.

                        Hahahahaha, Apple mocks the competition. Just imagine results with quad core and 2 GB RAM?

                          Just because it's iPhone, GSMArena decides to post more camera samples. Not fair, you should post MORE samples for every other phone out there! INCLUDING LOW LIGHT, just like you did with the iPhone 6. Jeez.

                            [deleted post]Hopefully it'll kick the laziness out of Qualcomm and co. to catch up and surpass them in the next year, as usual. Apple and PowerVR kicking ass means better stuff for everyone in the long run.

                            And why the fan remarks? I sport an Android, but I cheer at Apple's performance, no problems imho.

                                Battery test = 55hours,reasonably good for 4.7 screen size.
                                The Ip6 + should get higher juice..

                                  I just wonder what do you guys mean by piece of crap when the phone outperforms the competition with less ram, less cores and lower frequency? Also, you would be hard pressed to notice the screen resolution difference unless you strap it to your face in an oculus rift kind of fashion.

                                  Call me an apple fanboy if you don't have real arguments, just asking.

                                    The disadvantage list is getting longer and longer when rival add more function to their new phone .

                                        This is why GSMarena is my favorite smartphone review website. No bs, Honest and in-depth. Not the usual Apple cultists you see everywhere else. Can't tell you how many articles I've read about the iPhone with words like "Amazing," "Revolutionize," "Legend"...If it's good you'll get a good review. If not, well, tough luck...even if you're apple.
