Apple iPhone 6s review: The more it changes…

1 October, 2015
It’s how the saying goes. And you know, it’s not about Apple and the iPhone at all. It’s where the industry has been heading for a while now. In the race for screen size and processing power, the major makers’ flagships are like pro athletes finishing within milliseconds of each other...

          Show on onscreen you can see 6s and z5 compact are the best. because here test apps the display solution.

          See single core from geekbench A9 is the best. in multi core s6 the best.

          You are a loser. Because you can not see the facts. You are really Android fanboy, but the can not show the facts.

          I am Android Fanboy but know many test A9 SoC is really good, better than on my sony xperia z5 compact.

                iOS could only be compared to stock android by google.
                Yes, iOS is the most user-experience oriented device but still stock android is the hardware friendly OS today.
                Android love multitasking but apple love higly optimized single tasking.
                GREAT APPLE.

It will never be as messed up as Android already IS. The reason apple takes longer to incorporate functionality, is so that when they do incorporate it, it works, as it should, and doesnt stop working. Where as Android is forced to rush features to the market, even before it's ready, comprimising the quality. And the reason they are forced, is because if they had to adopt Apples philosophy they would not be in business for very long ;) Android customers buy with their brains, not their hearts. Android users need to be blinded by new shit even before it's ready just to fool them into thinking they have something better. Where as Apple users fall inlove with their devices, because it does what it is supposed to, flawlessly. It serves a function and a purpose which it delivers. Android cant afford to take their time perfecting the tech and software they use.

                    So many people are forgetting a fact of screen resolution in 6s and s6 750p vs QHD.... Performance will drastically change if gpu of s6 will run a 750p screen. Surely outperform the 6s' bm.
                    And Samsung's TouchWiz is now coming with bloatware free policy and it doesn't lag... AND THE PERSONS THAT SAY I PHONE DOES NOT LAG ARE THE NOOBS OF IPEOPLE.. They do lag.
                    And bragging about processing power... Dude what are you gonna do with all that A9 beast when all you do is what apple allows you to do...
                    BTW i am neutral party... Not a ifan or sfan... But samsung has done some innovative stuff lately and most of it is improving os.

One of them pushes out a better result, provides better frame rates and user experience, The other does not. S6 users can come up with all the excuses under the sun for why theirs doesnt win. but you know what also happens at the end of the day? Winners celebrate and losers cry... Want a tissue?

                          When I see this screen resolution in the end of 2015 I just cant - really cant believe that there is anyone who seriously consider such a thing. And we all know that 10M + ppl think of this as a must have gadget. I seriously do believe that it does not matter at all what apple does, the fan base will buy it. Besides the whole iphone experience, IOS itself is getting more like an android system, year by year, update by update. Soon it will know the same but will also lag the same, and will be complicated as android is, but then I would like to ask - if simplicity was the first and main reason for the Iphone success, when will iphone users re-think their continous addiction?

                                  "The same on the outside but trying to pose as the most important iPhone since the first one ever released.".... I would sure think Apple made this 6S more important than any of its younger siblings.... great to know bravo ... give us a new damn design -__-
                                  Part of apple lovers' fuel is to own this iconic device and wave it in everyone's face along with the masses, but you can't even set it apart from "last year's" model. Pretty much what pushed me to competitors (amongst other wonderful things I realized I was missing out on from not using android) from an iPhone 3GS, 4 & 5. Sorry Timmmayy

                                    aceofgenerations, 02 Oct 2015Finally, someone who thinks on the same page as I do. I fee... moreAnd another fool who just doesnt get it. It is not the same firstly. Secondly Apple is going to create a standard with this tech. 3rd, the iPhone 6s is simply and intro to the tech, and ALREADY it serves more functionanilty and real world usefulness compared to the competition who also currently have some form of force tech implemented. 4th, if you would like to understand the difference try Smule magic piano on an iPhone and then on another device which you claim is the same, (if ofc it's even available for your androids, we all know you guys dont get the good stuff ;) and not only will you see the difference, you will feel it. There are also a few games out that will directly show you the difference and the usefullness of the tech. The competition cannot achieve this. Oh and another thing, developers, who make the apps that count, will develop for iOS not for your beloved piece of droid. It's been happening, is still happening and will continue to happen.

                                      Finally, someone who thinks on the same page as I do. I feel like 3D touch is similar to Samsung's Air View feature, almost too similar in fact. TBH I don't find the Air View too useful overall (from time to time it's uses are useful though), so I find 3D touch to be a bit of a gimmick.
