No but i can see a triple-core A9 in the iPhone 6S at 1.8/2GHz with 2GB of RAM and a basic iPhone 6S starts with 32GB of storage.
What color do you guys like the best? I was dead set on Black but after seeing more photos of emerald green I'm leaning towards that.
This entire thread is like having a conversation with the guy I work with. He thinks the bottom of the s6 and iphone 6 show no similarities.
It is insane how people can ignore the obvious b.c of their hate/loyalty for a different brand.

Well, even I have to admit Samsung finally got their 'stuff' together and made an attractive phone with premium build materials. Yes, metal and glass is less practical than plastic, but really, who wants practical?
I dropped my naked iPhone 4 plenty of times with no cracks or shatter. Normal drops of course. The S6 has stronger glass, so I think the glass back is only a problem for the paranoid and trolls.
Apple copied heavy from the HTC One design. So it's all fair game.
From the hands on videos I've seen. Samsung has left more original Android untouched than they ever did before. Even the notifications look untouched. It's obviously still heavily skinned, but it's nice to see some original aspects of Lollipop in there.
I think battery life will make or break this device. It has to at least be on par with the S5.

Please name what apple copied heavily from htc one.
I think Apple copied their own iPod touch 5th generation from 2012.
There are some similarities between the iPhone 6 and S6 I.e the metal edges and speaker. However if you look at the phone from the front or the back its undeniably samsung.

I think he went to Forbes, as the technology editor or something ? I looked up their website, but didn't see any specific pages for Josh or some cool new gadget section.
Sucks, because Josh was great at engadget, and then the website he created before The Verge was a lot of fun, and then him starting The Verge, with a fresh new artistic style on reviewing tech was cool.
Without him, and not just Josh specifically, but his group and style, everyone else just seems generic and sort of boring in their tech reviews.
LOL Love it! They actually did! The M7 was out 2 years before the IP6.
The bottom and sides along with how the glass curves slightly into the rim. If it makes you feel better the iPhone 6 looks like a combo of a lumia and HTC one. Don't get why people get bent out shape about it, its still a nice design.
IMO he's the worst thing that could have happened to the Vergecast. I'm still subscribed but I won't listen to episodes he's on. He knows nothing about tech aside from gaming, his voice is so irritating, he's not funny and Nilay laughs at everything he says. I find it impossible to tolerate.
The good news is that he's not on every episode and David Pierce left the Verge. Also Josh announced a new podcast but no episodes have been recorded as of yet.
The Galaxy S3 still "smokes" the iPhone 6 on paper, but in the real world it's about on par with the iPhone 4S.
Ah yes I had a feeling you would mention antenna lines. Is that all? Those are required in an all metal phone.
iPhone 1st gen had an aluminum back. So im sorry but you haven't really proved anything.
You cant deny these pictures. cmon now... first alpha and now the S6

I'm not denying anything. I really don't care who copies who. Copying is inevitable. I just claimed that Apple can't cast any stones. Now don't act as if HTC wasn't the first to come up with that sort of design. And it's obviously more than the Antenna lines.
To be honest, I am still very satisfied with my Jailbreak iPhone 6 Plus, and I am a big Android Nerd too. I am totally open and looking to going back to Android, but looking for something really amazing to blow me away and take me away from this JB 6 Plus. And so far this S6 and M9 don't do it. But the M9 could possibly, once I see battery life results.
But right now this iPhone 6 Plus gives me the best battery life out of any smartphone I've ever owned, better than my old Note 2 which was ROM's and tweaked for battery life, better than my tweaked and kernel OnePlus One, and way better than my Nexus 6, and also much better than my old One M8 too.
And with all these Jailbreak tweaks, my 6 Plus operates very similar to a Android phone.
Let's see what LG brings out with the G4, and see what OPO does with their second phone this Spring ?

I agree, apple has copied others also. I don't believe to this degree though.
Anyway, I will just let this go. We shall agree to disagree
Other than the fact the iPhone 6 benefits from many aspects of Moore's Law.
Your comparison doesn't make sense at all really.
I think equating the similar bottoms of the phones is quite a different beast to saying the S6 copied the iPhone 6. The former makes sense, the latter is utter nonsense.
Yet it was outsold by 8 moths old iPhone 5S at that time
I'm thinking of saving up to get either the normal S6 or the HTC One M9. I can't decide.
And no, the answer isn't "get both". >_>

I will wait for real world tests, but I would guess the M9 should have amazing battery life, due to the large 2900mAh battery and 1080p screen. Plus I much prefer Sense over Tocuhwiz. Actually stock vanilla Android is my fav, but Sense would be second, and Touchwiz makes me wanna puke.
This looks MUCH more like copying to me.
Vanilla is my favorite as well (or was at 4.4, can't say about 5.0), but I haven't read or heard good things about the latest Nexus (so that's out).
