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...

    Ask yourself how well the iphone would run if apple would for one second truly care about the performance and put a 1.8-2GHz version of the cyclone cores in with 2-3GB of ram, and a 2,200mah battery.

    Plus fix all the bugs and app crashing of IOS. It would run great too.

              Android users, ask yourselves.

              How well would YOUR Android phone run if it had 1GB of RAM and a 1.4GHz Dual core processor???

              Would it be performing in the benchmarks like the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are??

              Have a think.

                Look they even got 1 GB of RAM like the Samsung Galaxy S2 had back in the days of 2011, o this is so sad, poor memory poor OS that doesn't allow multitasking, poor camera only 8 MP again like Samsung Galaxy S2 had back in the days of 2011, the front camera is even poorer than Galaxy S2 only 1.2 MP, Galaxy S2 has 2 MP front camera instead. This is a poor phone for poor people that try to act like rich people by spending almost 1K of dollars on a museum piece of technology.

                  Poor them they can't deliver higher scores with that crappy dual-core 1.4 GHz CPU they put inside the phone.

                    AnonD-281018, 30 Sep 2014So, if you read review carefully you see that iPhone is no1... moreThe screen is superb yes...
                    Benchmarks are good because its a good SoC powering not so demanding IOS...android has much more substance to push
                    Camera, oh please...go to comparison sheet add alpha and z3/z3c and find me even one spot where its better than those two
                    Even OIS on 6+ is worse than z3 stedyshot software...

                    In the end it only comes down to...it is not worth that pricetag

                      The benchmark scores are so small they will get outdated once the new Cortex-A57 phones kick in, Note 4 would be one of those Cortex-A57 phones.

                        As far as i know, Apple used to give what customer need instead of customer want, nowadays there are so many customer demanding high specs on iphone. Apple should quickly respond it, otherwise Tim Cook and Apple will sink like blackberry

Yeah, they could still provide a better one but according to benchmarks, the single core performance of Apple is equal to two of Qualcomm's best. I think its mainly due to the 64-bit architecture vs 32-bit.

                                AnonD-288834, 30 Sep 2014Feel really Pity for those who buy this phone with features... moreYup. Except Apple finally moved up from that 1400mah battery.
                                Though it was too small an increase to cancel out all the other increases.
                                They literally just made it big enough to make the screen bigger. As minimal change as possible so they could keep the profits.

                                And while the chip is a strong architecture the clock speed and ram severely limit it.

                                And every time you mention specs all apple users just go on a whining rant that specs dont mean anything and it's ok because IOS is optimized.....
                                Um....The top Android OEMS optimize their os too...better in fact.....So that's not the point..The point is on top of better optimizing they use stronger and better hardware.....And cost less.

                                      Feel really Pity for those who buy this phone with features same like a phone worth 100 USD for this hefty price
                                      Camera - 8 MP ( Apple must feel ashamed )
                                      Processor - 1.4 GhZ ( Probably offered in cheapest phones today )
                                      Battery Life - 1400 MAH --- even a Nokia Asha has a better battery
                                      Overall much much degraded phone when you compare to master piece like - HTC-M8, Samsung Alpha & Sony Z3 Compact...
                                      Apple a piece of advice wake up before its too late---You cant fool customers with these low low specs only on basis of build quality....Quite cheap worth not more that 400 USD

                                        Camera, display, battery, design, build, function, and just about everything is way better.
                                        And technically even chip it does not beat out all. And it's only mostly due to a decent GPU.
                                        The A8's actual power is not great because Apple holds it back drastically by low clock speed and limited ram to supply it.

                                        So no. Never was and never will be best all around.

                                        S5, Z2, Z1c, Z3, Z3c, M7, M8, Note 3, Note 4, G2, G3, and such are overall much better all arounders.
