      Suspenders, 07 Oct 2014I don't understand a lot of comments on tech specs, ram, etc. What about real world use? ... moreMeanwhile back here in reality even the S3 runs very well even after prolonged use.

      And if you want to talk about real world use ios 7 and 8 have brought endless crashes, bugs, freezes, weight, and lags.

      All phones will have some lag. But ios is what is leading in crashes and lags. And even back in older slightly lighter variants of ios they still largely had the world lead in app crashes.

      And just because you yourself claim or most online haters here claim they don't use all their features does not each features doesn't appeal to groups of people. Most people in general will use some set of the available features.
      And even if not...which they do...but if not...it still does not justify all the work and optimizing it takes to make them and get them working...
      While apple just restricts the phone, limits the features, can't even pay someone to fix their bugs and then charges you more for less and claims it is so superior.

        I don't understand a lot of comments on tech specs, ram, etc.

        What about real world use? What's the use of a brand new Galaxy S5 if after a few months and being filled up with some data, it lags?

        What's the use of higher specs on a flagship android if apps aren't even built to take advantage of it?

        What if something goes wrong with your phone? Do you realize how EASY it is to go into Apple and have it repaired or them give you a new one? Ever try that with the other providers? I don't know about you, but there aren't a ton of Samsung, LG & Sony stores around...

        And then features. Back in 2007, I had a Nokia N95 which I loved. It could do SO many things that other phones couldn't even dream of. But guess what? I took advantage of almost NONE of those "extra features" that the phone could afford me.

        For most people who are busy, a reliable phone that works well and meets real world needs on a regular basis, is important. And that makes it a premium phone, worthy of a premium price.

        Sincerely,

        Former Android User.

            at least they shouldve increased the screen to straight 5inch and camera would be 10-12mp and 32gb shouldve been kept as standard..... a shadow to samasung s3.... disappointing....

              Rich Boy, 30 Sep 2014Android users, ask yourselves. How well would YOUR Android phone run if it had 1GB of RAM ... moreI really can't remember that far back, all I get from 2012 is the London Olympics sorry.

              You have to realise that benchmark measure in the main is speed.

              Do you think an IPhone loading an app a few milliseconds faster is something to write home about?

              Benchmarks in themselves do NOT add features, the iPhone has NO Sapphire as "promised" it has lost Gorilla glass protection and now is just shatterproof glass

              iPhone 6 is NOT water or Dust proof (IP67 certified - dust and water resistant)

              THIS & THAT is better than either this or that
              Android phone have never bragged about being better in everything, just MOST thing, so having features NOT on an iPhone is "no contest"

              Apple pay is a gimmick, and NOT a phone related feature so 2 years

              if you ALREADY have cash or credit / debit card or cheque I am sure that ALL establishments that accept Apple pay will accept one or all of the other payment methods from you a friend who has this.

              Having Apple pay in an establishment that does NOT accept Apple pay is......

              As Apple pay is NOT new technology in essence all those people who in 2012 were contracted to the iPhone5 have NOT upgraded but signed up for a larger display iPhone 5.

              2 years later the exact same phone but bigger, http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4910&idPhone2=6378

                I find your constant comments about screen size and all this junk very useless. Many of us work in an industrial environment and having a smaller phone like the iPhone 5 is much better bet. 5"+ becomes unwieldy when you have to work on an industrial plant and the phone is so big and useless OS system don't allow quick access to features required and phablets are just useless for OHO( one handle operation). Perhaps in future you should take this into account. So far every Samsung and Sony over 5" has been dumped for the "older, not so flashy iPhone 5s's in our corporate environment. Not to mention the superior built quality and no-nonsense iOS systems.

                    Rubbish fone, you could buy a Huawei and ZTE at a fraction of the iFake's price, and still get good value for money.

                      I really love this phone. This s the first time I own an up to date iPhone. My complaint is that it is too big for a 4.7". Galaxy s4 feels smaller. The Aluminum also feels cheap. It already has a minor scratch so I ended up buying the leather case. I hate cases and how they always attract dust but I did spend almost $1K. It would be my perfect phone if it was made like the 5s with the size of last years Moto X. It would have even better to not use the rounded edges.

                            It's cpu is held back by ram and clock speed. It's gpu is what is saving the chip.
                            The 6 has weak battery still and no ois. The 6 plus bends.

                            and the os still leads in app crashes and has more lock ups, bugs, and lags.

                            Keep trying.

                                  iPhone 6 is the best phone at this moment

                                  Camera.

                                  Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Alpha have bad white balance (rosiness, blueness and oversatureted photos and videos, hdr mode remove rosiness and blueness)

                                  g3 make blueness photos and videos

                                  iPhone 6 sometimes makes it a bit yellowish photo and video, iphone 6 plus and 5s even worse

                                  Display.

                                  Z3 and Z3 compact have worst display.
                                  10K Temperature (12K hi-tech mail) instead of 6500k

                                  Delta E rgbcmy 6.03 (7,91 hi-tech mail) (need much lower)
                                  Z3 display much worse than Z2 display (becuase z2 have better calibratuon) and galaxy s4

                                  G3 also bad but much better than sony
                                  It have oversaturated and oversharped (halo effect) display with bad contrast

                                  M8 have good display but the calibration is slightly worse than iphone 6

                                  S5 have bad calibration (but better than sony), but also have no blur in 60fps video and menu, better viewing angles, better contrast, better black color than iphone 6.
                                  But it also have 240ghz flickering

                                  Note4 have very good calibtration and no blur in 60fps video and menu, better viewing angles, better contrast, better black color than iphone 6.

                                        darkraver, 02 Oct 2014S5 doesnt come even close to Z3... ;-) Not in build, not in sound, not in camera, not in ... moreTells someone to be objective while claiming a device that has an over lead could never come close to the device it has a lead over just because you have a fan bias to that device....congratulations on failing and contradictions.
