Still doesn't make it a Mercedes.

and yes i've used iphones, 3,4,5 and the S's (lol) but anyway, they werent mine, got to play with them, and honestly found 3, 4, 4s choppy as fuck, 5 was smooth, but heres the thing, androids arent all smooth, but thats the thing you have tons of options, anyway i dont even care i still own an xperia play ;_;

That's the problem with Android phones. Once you start filling them up, they get as slow as fuck. But with iPhones, even totally filled phones still perform smoothly.

[SeriouslyMikey]

I am taking this as I am one of the few that doesn't care about the new iPhone? It's just a phone, nothing special, just like the HTC One M8 is nothing special.

then you should try an android before saying that

I have 2 Android devices at home. My dad's Motorola Droid RAZR and my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. Both were pretty much filled and were giving many "unresponsive program" errors. Now that they are half full, they can perform better, i suppose.

I know people who still roll with an iPhone 4 and it still works fast even with iOS 7.

False. 

False False False False False.

My old Iphone 4 with iOS 7 had NO user applications except for Facebook and twitter, and had NO music or pictures on it, it was totally clean and everything, and it STILL was the slowest thing ever, had the most trouble in the world with loading pages in Safari, THIS WAS NOT MY INTERNET, this was 100% the phone being slow. Also alot of crashes, it liked to just randomly shut down any app, even things like Alarm clock or Calculator.

There is one thing to note here. Apple has not set up any new trends with this iPhone. Before every iPhone brought something new and while overall the hardware was outdated, that one new thing was a contribution to the entire mobile market. Last generation that was the fingerprint scanner. But this generation? iPhone 6 does not bring anything new to the table. Disappointing.

huuh, htc one m8? if you call the iphone a mercedes, htc is a lambo?

good you said that.

On one hand you have a fast luxury car that feels premium(Mercedes )

And on the other you have a super fast super car with no cup holders and is just pretty and fast

[tugadude4]

so lambo is not premium? Am i missing something? maybe its made of wood?

If the iPhone is a Mercedes it an A 180 CDI for the price of an SLS.

It's the bezels, man. They're big, really big. They could manage to stick a 5.5'' panel and having a way smaller form factor. But they're just too stubborn to lose the Home button.

[Stefan Becker]

That is not how it works, you cannot say something is crap because you do not like it

I beg to differ. I don't like something - therefore it's crap for me.

 

Also, game-reviewers sometimes don't like the game that they are reviewing, and therefore they think it's crap.

The Droid RAZR is as old as my old Samsung Galaxy SII. Of course it runs slow.

The thing is apple users buy it to show off to the world its like their identity and their chance to get @#£%

Every iPhone 4 that I see running iOS7 lags so bad. Even my GF's 4S is leaps and bounds slower than my 5C

When did it ever bring anything new? The only real thing I can think of that has been completely new was the fingerprint reader, the iPhones before were just decent mobile phones, nothing new compared to any smartphone that came before it

 

I was using HTC Windows phones before the iPhone came alone, like the HTC Touch Diamond, and Touch Dual, Touch Pro and even my HD2 which came out a year before the iPhone 4 (which is still an amazing phone to this day, one of my favourite designs)

 

This is from someone who has had every iPhone since the 3gs, and plan to get the 6/6+, they are just well made easy to use powerful phones, with a few innovative features. And this iPhone finally brings NFC, mobile payments and larger screen sizes to the iPhone. I am currently using the 5, and there is very little extra I want on it, other than a larger screen and more power. This iPhone provides what I am looking for and I reckon most iPhone users are quite happy with their devices, they just fancy something newer, faster and bigger with a few extra features (I am excited to get AC wifi too)

Well they need the home button for Touch ID, without it they would not have fingerprint recognition which is arguably an awsome features, especially for payment verification etc

Yeah but they could actually minimize the impact of the button itself on the design. Samsung managed to do all that fingerprint stuff with a much smaller button. And I'm sure there's other options that don't involve giant buttons or even physical buttons for that matter.

Except Samsungs fingerprint sensor is horrible and barely works, and is impossible to use one handed as you have to swipe downwards

 

Personally I am not a fan of software buttons either, there is nothing wrong with buttons being actual buttons

[SnowPatch]

Im really disapointed by the looks of the iPhone 6(+)...

Really, it looks like a big and flat iPhone 3 (and that is bad). And really, don't you think the phone is too big if you must include a feature to make the screen half the size?

Ofcourse, that is just my own oppinion I am not hating or anything, I just think Apple should have kept the lovely design of the iPhone 4/5

It's super horrible. I've tried it before, and it sucks ASS. Next time, they shouldn't steal ideas from Apple, for once.

[PhantomChevron]

The thing is apples devices look the same, it does not stand out at all, its like a Samsung, they both are soo common they don't stand out at all, stuff like the LG G3 and HTC One do stand out a bit more, since they tend to be abit less common, so whenever apple releases a new product, it is not that interesting, its basically the same thing, I mean it looks like the iPod something, latest gen one

[Legion]

I know people who still roll with an iPhone 4 and it still works fast even with iOS 7.

 

As someone who has one it is not fast with iOS7.

My friend who still has an iPhone 4 still works really well with iOS 7.

[Kaskade]

I recommended my parents to get iPhone as they are much more simple to use. I will be getting them the iPhone 6 as they were loving their iPhone 4.

Although Samsung is really fuckin' good at stealing ideas, Apple does it too.
