Yes, its is newer thats why it leads and why you say its behind? Again, benchmark tells. And why are you forcing apple to use overflowering specs when even just a matter of dual core and lower clock speed, they can make their device to be a beast?
Yeah they use just 1GB of RAM for a 64bit cpu, didnt you ask yourself why despite limited no. of RAM capacity is more than enough? Yet you call iOS poorly coded? Why it leads in number of apps in app store? Why it is developers' priority in app and game development? Why iOS game and app versions comes always first at release? - ohh, I forgot android devices are suffering of high fragmentation thats why its developers headache in optimizing app.
Yes, it could be limiting but it apple way and is not laggy and buggy. Let me ask, at what android version galaxy s5, one m8, g3, note 3 is stucked? Where is the software update? I also forgot android OEM just cuts support for predecessor devices earliest.. Even for last year's flagship, they already say its not eligible for latest software version which easily outdates android device.

Compared to the Z3, the iphone 6 lacks behind in contrast. Z3 uses triluminos, x-reality, and live colors led to compensate for its regular ips-lcd. Btw, JDI supply the IPS-Neo display to the Iphone 6 plus. If Sony uses IPS-Neo panel, then it would have the best of the best display for an lcd.

You are obviously just reaching for bias misleading things to try and make a non factual post to support your fan ideas.
Specs are just as important as the software that drives them.
Android flagships are well optimized too. Better in fact so that argument is mute.
Well optimized software on decent hardware is ok.
Well optimized software on strong hardware is better.
The iPhone takes small leads by being newer with a slightly stronger and newer graphics chip. That's what helps it score higher. The cpu itself is behind.
The cores are strong cores but they are limited and help back. 1.3 and 1.4ghz cyclone or not is being limited...they could have easily made it 1.7-2ghz and there would be a noticeable difference that would actually make it on part or stronger than a lot of Android flagships.
But not only is the core and clock limited. They use 1gb of ram to support 64bit. You might think it runs ok and stable. But in all actuality if it had the proper 4gb it would run world's better even on the poor coding of ios.
Even 2gb would be a large gain for it. Probably save a ton of crashes too.
And on top of that the buggy coding that adds more lags and freezes that is ios currently and makes the system heavier....plus ios continually be the world leader in app crashes.....
And sticking only 1gb of ram??? It's severely held back and purposefully sabotaged. All so apple can make another penny off you and force everyone to update their phone.
In the end a strong gpu and system wide restriction gives it decent scores on paper.
But limiting software and leaving it laggy and buggy while letting it also have the most smartphone app crashes and using 90% outdated hardware...is not optimizing, hard work, or justify the price. And definitely does not provide better overall real world usage.
It's laziness and scams.

No:1 company apple u must accept it that's all...King of phones and laptop is apple
[deleted post]Yes, lets face it, the between android flagships and iPhone, android has higher specced of the two smartphones, however specs do not directly translate into performance. Look at the benchmark. But androids are known for benchmark cheats..oopps..
[deleted post]LOL, the thing is you just cant accept the "just decent specs" beats overflowering specs or androids:core count, clock speed, ram, etc. which seems modest but actually a beast..
One has to respect Apple for having their own way.
Everbody else use Android, which Google makes, only Apple has unique OS.
Everbody else use quad or octa cores and 2 or 3 GB RAM, only Apple uses dual core and 1 GB RAM
Everbody else are in megapixel,race, but not Apple. 8 mpx is enough, and camera is superb, better that 20 mpx units
Most of commpetition offer sd cards, removable back, battery etc, but not Apple. They say "use iTunes and leave picking on hardware to us"
One has to respect uniqe way Apple has gone
As I see it:
Great design and premium materials
Excellent camera, maybe the best
Great battery life
Excellent screen
No1 in performance tests overall
Cons:
Bezels could be smaller
Front camera could get a bit more mpx
Stereo speakers would be nice touch
Exposed camera lenses don' look good
Anonymous, 02 Oct 2014The specs are just as important as the the software driving it. The software is good, but the ... moreYes, specs may just seemed decent like mere dual core 1.4GHz (but why it outperformed other 2.5GHz quadcore? You can see it in the benchmark), just 1GB or RAM (but why it handled multitasking as 3GB RAM), just 8MP (but why it performs quality wise as other 20MP fones?) and despite all the issues ang mockery, why it still flooded with record breaking number of buyers? My friend, no matter what you say, its is still Apple, its has the badge that nobody has. Yes, specs looks underwhelming but apple made the best out of it to match specs-flowering competitors.. Its like comparing ferrari with Aston, yes, Aston has cars that outperforms ferrari but Aston dosnt have the badge and prestige of ferrari..

... more4years same nonsense. Ifans don't like to compare specs. It hurts their inner feelings. White paper will still be white paper no matter how you look at it. Until you draw something on it then it becomes art
An iPhone really is just another iPhone. The irony in all this is that iPhones are in 1 infinity loop.
Don't make Ifans sad...Cheers.

The only thing that gave them a bit of lead is that it comes out later than those devices and uses a newer graphics chip.

The iphone6+ is gInormous
iPhone6+ 158.1 x 77.8 x 7.1 mm & weight 172g. Screen display 5.5”
LG G3 146.3 x 74.6 x 8.9 mm & weight 149g. Screen display 5.5
Note 4 153.5 x 78.6 x 8.5 mm & weight 176g. Screen display 5.7
No microSD slot phones have for a long time had microSD slot so plus 32Gb multiple times
32 GB should have been the minimum memory all that APple have done is added a 128GB version (e.g. Galaxy Alpha 16gb is too low)
If this was CNN do you think they have rechargeable video cameras or battery packs?
2 hours plus to recharge a battery from flat, a removable battery or spare, NO official repair for battery replacement required.
8Mp camera since 2011 iPhone4S, even Nokia have upgraded the MID-RANGE 8Mp Lumia 820 to 10MP Lumia 830
No 4K video and video sound is still mono?
No enhanced resistance to liquids or dust, no Sapphire Glass and the Gorilla GONE.
Apple Pay the biggest NON PHONE GIMMICK of this decade, if you do NOT have a credit / debit card then you may be able to recreate Apple Pay by using CASH / Cheque/ Money Transfer or magic beans.
Apple pay is a money stream. Apple receives 15c per transaction, NFC (Not for Charity)
It has already been stated the iPhone6 or 6+ is the phone you upgrade to after 2 years on contract on the Iphone 5 (Take away Apple pay and all you have is a larger display iPhone5.
So again 4 years same specs you have bought EXACTLY the same phone http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4910&idPhone2=6378
Not so much Futurama but Pasterama, the clue was Bender of course
Great performance,great camera,great display especially under the sunlight and Great battery.The only problem is the bending issue.
