Apple iPhone 6 review Comments

Apple's biggest advantage is their greatest weakness - their closed ecosystem. Because Apple builds both their hardware and software they are in total control over their product. This advantage is clearly seen in the benchmark results, where the OS and hardware combination outscores all other phones. But, herein lies the trap Apple has stepped into. You can not advance as fast in a closed off ecosystem as an open one.
The problem with the benchmarks is that you are comparing apples with pears (pun intended). Because the processors used in the iPhone is guarded by Apple, a true comparison with its opposition is not really possible. If Android or Windows OS could be run on on the same processors found in the iPhone, claims of superiority could be made.
The Apple vs. Android argument is as idiotic as the Console vs. PC gaming argument. Games are primarily made for consoles as they are black box devices and their hardware stays unchanged through the console's lifespan. Whereas PC's are in constant development with the main component suppliers in constant war, driving innovation and increasing power. Thus, the two are not comparable.
The Apple environment is is like consoles - closed off, stagnant and controlled. This makes it easier to control the software being delivered to the device leading to high stability and ease of development.
Google's Android is open. Thus more like the PC environment. Companies are forced to compete against each other pushing the envelope and letting creativity grow. Yes, this system leads to less security and more junk on the Play Store, but it stimulates technological advancement and healthy competition. In the end the end user benefits.
I prefer a PC over consoles, therefore an Android phone. Have not yet made up my mind on my next handset, but the Z3 Compact and LG G3 are top contenders.
The iPhone 6 is just priced silly. Not even worth the look. If it made coffee in the morning and drove me to work I would have considered it at that price!

AnonD-281018, 27 Sep 2014Just imagine faces at Qualcomm and Samsung after Apple A8 chip results? And worst thing is ... morethat would make 25 hours battery rating . Mean 1 hour video 1 hour talk time and your battery die .

PowerVR GX6650, 27 Sep 2014At last Ip6 PowerVR GX6450 killed both Galpha and Z3C in Gpu rendering test. What a blow ... moreWhile it beat by marginal 10% in gpu . The battery life is half . Not to mention 8 hour talk time . I think 10% gpu is acceptable more than half of battery life .

Iphone is iphone.
1 year to release this product.
Could have been a whole lot better but as usual compromises galore.
Reviewers are all dandy about another new iphone which is sooooo behind the competition it ain't funny anymore.
And whats more the bendgate saga has shown the arrogance of Apple in avoiding to address the issue.

"The Galaxy Alpha relies on a standard USB 2.0 port for charging and wired data connectivity but uses a proprietary Lightning connector." wtf?

This phone should cost 400$,i mean what a waste of money, better to buy the Sony xperia z3 compact, or Samsung Galaxy alpha.... And look at the disadvantages of the phone way more better than any disadvantage than any other smartphone, Sony z3c have 2 disadvantages only.... Wake up people and way something that deserves the money u will pay

Aluminium will bendin...worst option im my opinion
Removable plastic will fall of and uncover internals to damage...
Nonremovable plastic can break but not as much as durable glass...
I preffer durable glass, if its on front I see no dissadvantage of it being on the back too...it improves the sturdiness

How is the iPhone 6 more "premium" than the Z3 Compact? Since when is aluminum a premium material? Hint: it's not. I just threw an aluminum can in the trash. It's cheap shit. Not saying it's not a good material for a phone, but premium it is not.
