iPhone 6 - Welcome to 2012?

[pdqgp]

On every single one, the screen is such a huge letdown. I'm talking about the quality and clearness. Even on my dads Galaxy S5. I wasn't rude, so I didn't say anything. I also owned a Galaxy Tab for a few months and its screen was kinda crappy too. It just reeks of cheapness. If it was great- I would say so.

quality and clearness? really? anyone here can prove that's not true simply by going to the store and holding them side by side. There's no way one is going to look at the Sammy display and say that about them. Especially next to an iPhone. You'd have to have one dirty screen to say the Sammy lacks clarity.

But mostly, its that god-forsaken OS. Jesus. Its so... laggy and rough.

Again, don't see it. Please elaborate on what you were doing to see lag.

It simply is not fluid like IOS. YES, it IS customizable. Font, colors etc. But I believe Apple got all that right from the beginning so I dont need to adjust that.

I use Kit kat and Nova Launcher and it's perfectly smooth and silky in operation. You also aren't seriously trying to compare the customizability of fonts and colors compared to what can be done on an Android are you? OMG, that's a beat down just waiting to happen.

Honest question - is the iPhone falling behind?

I've not considered an upgrade since my iPhone 4 around 3 years ago. Now that I'm looking around should I consider other phones?

iPhone will never see apps installed from the browser.

Technically, yes, it is. Apple however, thinks its in a league of its own.

Honest reply - no.

That image doesn't pay attention to the details that make all the difference. For example:

-4.7 inch screen and 750p resolution - but iPhone's screen has very high contrast ratio, SRGB, more brightness, wider viewing angles. It's a better screen, and the bottom part of it isn't used up by those android onscreen buttons.

-NFC payments - but iPhone has touch ID and it is much more secure and better thought out. And Apple has the market force to make it actually happen. Google Wallet has been a mess for years.

-Notification actions/widgets/extensions/typing extensions/custom keyboards/backup - true, on Android first.

How about all the other stuff though? Nexus 4 didn't have LTE, AC wifi, bluetooth 4.0. It didn't have the custom A8 chip which always schools its competition both in CPU and GPU. It didn't have high speed DDR3 RAM. It charged slowly through USB 2 and didn't have reversible lightning port. It had significantly worse build quality. It didn't have continuity/handoff with OSX, other devices, Apple TV. It didn't have a GREAT camera with good image post-processing. It didn't run fully native code. It didn't have as many high quality apps. It didn't have a motion coprocessor.

I mean, I can keep going and going. But images like this are built for the kind of people that don't bother to stop and actually think about this stuff.

If you think a Nexus 4 is improvement over iPhone then go ahead, buy it.
