Who else feels that Apple is letting us all down?

[JayIsAwesome]

Considering anandtech gave it a gold star I'd say it was on okay phone. could Apple have improved it goes without saying, but that general comment could apply to anything and everything and at some point the line has to be drawn in the sand.

I'm not saying the 6S was a bad phone. It was a great offering from Apple. But the issue is Apple, at one point, was the leader with innovation and pretty much out performed every other phone in terms of design, camera, camcorder, screen quality, ect. The issue that many on here have is that Apple isn't leading the way anymore. Go back to 2010 and look at the iPhone 4, compared to ever other mainstream phone that launched around that time...nothing was able to touch Apple's offering.

The Evo was out and had video chatting but it looked terrible and was a pain in the ass to use The Droid 2 was out but other than the somewhat better keyboard (compared to the Droid 1) the i4 killed it in every way. Nobody could touch the iPhone 4. That is what many miss about Apple. Apple didn't half-ass things like the screen quality (750p resolution in a flagship 2015/16 phone) I for one hope Apple knocks the industry on its ass again, like it did with the original iPhone and the i4.

Is it that Apple outdid everyone or is it that everyone wasn't keeping up at the time (let alone pushing)?

 

[Qbnkelt]

I tolerated those 4 crashes and got on with life.iOS 9 throws stutters to my face every 15 minutes or so.It sure is difficult to find out which impacted my experience more

If I were that upset with a platform I would move on. Just like I ditched BlackBerry lackberry and my lagmeister SGS5.
I'm much happier now and I don't spend time complaining in Android or BlackBerry forums.

 

[jimbo1mcm]

I haven't used my 6S+ for over a month after getting a Droid Turbo 2. Full Quad HD screen, same battery endurance, wireless charging, beautiful build, and Micro SD expansion. The Snapdragon 810, Adreno 430 and 3 GB of Ram let this phone fly. Yeah it is slightly thicker than the 6S+ but it has so many more features.

lol you see lag on a SGS5 and you cant see the stutters in iOS 9

 

[Qbnkelt]

Because my work SGS5 would hang and freeze to the point of making me want to smash it, on a constant basis. So I pitched it. Now I'm happy with my work iPhone 6 on 9.2.1 which works perfectly. Just like my iPhone 6s Plus. Which is why I have them, because they work.
I pitched what didn't work. Life is short. Why frustrate myself and then frequent Android forums to complain about me willingly frustrating myself, when there are choices that would not frustrate me? Nah. I pitch the laggy mess and use what platform works and makes me happy.
Haven't been in Android Central in eons. Lollipop destroyed my Note 4. So I stopped using it and my awful SGS5 and so I don't go there. Happy me!!!❤️✌️

Is one of those features iMessage? Facetime? Itunes? Does it airplay to an apple tv? Can your Mac take calls or send messages through it? Does it come with iOS exclusive apps from 3rd party devs? Do i now have to start dealing with cellular stores again for support (ouch)?

Sorry. Your "many more features" suck.

Before pointing out how imessage, facetime, and whatever pale to google's equivalents, the problem is this. Hardly anyone uses them that I know. Maybe you're different. I have to be able to accommodate others. I can access google apps on the iphone as well as MS, amazon, blackberry, etc. The reverse isn't true on your Droid C3PO bloatware special or whatever the heck it's called.

 

[Bobby dazzler]

In many ways. Like the stability of iOS 9 on the new iPhones isn't smooth like iOS 6 was for the 5 and the hardware is too expensive for 16GB of base storage. Not a terrible phone but I feel as if Apple is around 2 years behind everyone else. There software is still better than Android for basic things but still is behind.
iPhone 4 was the last magical iPhone.
I am no longer excited for the iPhone 7
Greed/Profit Margins is Apple's number one priority now.
Same goes to the macs.

I don't feel let down DBZmusicboy01,
I've had the S model phone since 3GS and the only phone that disappointed was the 5S.
Given all the technology that's in them and the various incarnations of iOS, I'm actually impressed.
My 6S is the best phone I have ever had.

I have noticed that I'm not watching the keynotes all the way through anymore. I used to be glued to the spot, but I think they are not as good as they used to be. I mean they are not as much fun.

What say you?

To be fair, I felt the Palm pre was better (when I wasn't exchanging a faulty Pre) than an iphone 3G/3GS at the time. The resolution on the Pre was much better..at that time and there was homebrew (basically jailbreaking). As you say, the iphone 4 changed the game along with Palm and then HP's sad keystone cops' handling of webOS and devices.

Beyond the iphone 4? Here's what I remember....

iphone 4S: Fixed issues with iphone 4 such as touch of death that dropped calls. Verizon availability. Much faster and Siri.

iphone 5: Made it usable on Verizon with LTE as this is when I switched. That's it. This was more of a transition phone for Apple as they HAD to move to a 16:9 aspect ratio for the future.

iphone 5S: Touch ID. And being an S year...speed. That's all it took for me.

iphone 6: After getting 16:9 previously in the 5 series, this was the time to offer significantly bigger screens. Unfortunately, beyond a bigger screen (with same PPI), this was disappointing. Speed took a hit especially with a laggy 6 Plus release that was rather pathetic. Yep, I know. Many iphones were sold during this time as people cared more about larger screens (and expansion and savvy quarterly release times into China helped these numbers as well). Personally I went back to using the 5S. Apple also tried to get people to care about Apple Pay.

Iphone 6S: At least the Plus version is now usable. 3D touch but not a must have feature. Not much else to see here. Hey Siri?

I don't really list camera anywhere because it's so not a big deal to me. They look good for a smartphone but it's simply not worth getting excited about small upgrades that no one can really tell a difference about.

The key thing here is that Apple transitioned in the 5 series, and with the 6, was able to offer bigger sized screens. The 7 in my opinion, should be about refining things. Let's bump those bigger screens up with resolution increases or better quality screens somehow. Let's beef up the speaker. Waterproof it. Let's see what they do with the digital music lightning thing. Fix photos and family mgmt. Improve messaging, facetime, and those type of "nuts and bolts" things like icloud. A remote screens feature should be native by now (logmein) kinda thing. The more integration between types of Apple devices, the more excited I get. Siri has to get on board at some point (and getting away from Bing would be super nice).

I'll sit out the first year of the 7. I'd rather use the 7S which fixes issues, offers significant spec bumps, and introduces that one (hopefully) standout feature. Maybe it'll be wireless charging as rumored.

[Newtons Apple]

Sounds like I am in the minority but I am quite happy with Apple and it products or I would not buy them. It is everyone's choice to buy Apple or another brand. You will be hard pressed to find another that exceeds the features of Apple.

The OP just sounds a little unhappy.

 

[Vexxx]

I was android user because of screen size. I liked custom roms and "freedom" of android. But I liked Apple's desing and look and feel even more so I was ready to give up the "freedom". But they did not have that one reason that I needed to buy. With 6 series they created that reason and I made the switch and I guess many others too.

I am surprised that many say here that 16GB is a let down. My 6+ and 6s+ both were 16GB, I have plenty of free space still. 16GB is selling point for me, deal breaker for someone else. Would Apple sell as much if they did not have 16GB?

Being able to use google services is also a selling point for me. If it would not be possible, I would not have iPhone.

So companies do not let people down. They want to sell the best possible amount of their products (services are products too) with the best possible margin.

There are different ways to pursue that goal but in the end it comes to that people must want to use your products for some reason and are willing to pay the price asked.

Apple's way has been - and currently is - succesful. They sell a lot and have excellent margin. They have been able to create many reasons why people want to use their products with given price. Some of us needs only one reason, some other more. I must give credit for Apple marketing as I know people whose only reason to buy is that it is Apple.

The iPhone does have pretty low res screen,The Xperia Compact you mentioned is not even Sony's flagship.If you put the iPhone 6 against a Galaxy S6 Edge for example the screen of the 6 seems pale and blurry compared to the sharp text of the Samsung

low res screen ?
Don't you get it, do you ? Samsung can put even 5K on a 4.7" display to impress people like you, but it remains a waste of pixels and power.
Android's manufacturers struggling to differentiate themselves from a pletora of otherwise identical uninspiring devices, so the "specs list war" is strong in the Android ecosystem. Sony Z5 Compact IS a flagship, and it is one of the most credible Android device in the market. Samsung use of ridiculously high resolution (and pen tile arrangement) is a marketing gimmick.
If i put an iPhone 6S against a GS6 I still would buy the iPhone anytime.

I'm talking about stutter on a fresh restore iPhone 6.Apps aren't the issue here

you are constantly flooding the forum about that....

On the contrary I enjoyed using my Air 2 and iPhone 6 when it was on iOS 8. 9 was where I started experiencing issues while I don't see these performance issues in this much severity on the 6S so I probably will be happy with the iPhone 7 if I buy it. But I am considering the S7 at this point too.

I'm quite sure you'll be satisfied with your bloated Galaxy S7.
Just an advice: wait a couple of months. As usual prices will drops dramatically due to poor sales numbers.

What's so blasphemous about using Google services on an iOS device?I will put it to you straight,Google has the best services out there.Apple services seem amateurish in comparison.Google Maps wipes the floor with Apple Maps.Notes,Safari does not sync with Windows and my Chromebook. Siri's proactive still does not have the accuracy and usefulness of Google Now.Google Now actually tells me in advance about the traffic on my route before I start my journey and the best route to take as well as suggest news articles accurately based on my usage.It even tracks my Amazon shipments and most importantly is cross platform across my Mac and Windows.
iCloud Drive is inferior to Google drive considering the horrible interface and the pricing tiers the former has.
Google Photos unlike iCloud Photos is free.I have to pay Apple money for something which Google gives me free and as a bonus I get to reduce my storage through their compression technology which Apple does not have.

Google services are just too damn better than Apple and are most importantly platform agnostic which is why I use only Google on my iPhone.

you should switch to an android phone as soon as possible then...
Because Google services are just a bait for your data, and you seem to be in an hurry to give them.
As long as you are happy and stop bitchering about non existent issues, we are happy.

lol you see lag on a SGS5 and you cant see the stutters in iOS 9

Yes, I definitely can see lags (actually freezes) on my son's S5 while there isn't any on my iPhone.

That the iPhone 6s got the gold star basically says it all for me coupled with the record breaking quarter. As far as screen quality it's perfect. No need to over-spec for a spec war sheet.

The camera and app software to me is more consistent than the competition. It consistently has a better track record. Samsung blows out highlights and or color shifts.

Skip to 4:10.The text on the S6 is consistently much more sharper than on the iPhone 6

And its not just about pixels.The colors on the S6 are much much more vibrant and make the 6 screen look pale and lifeless in comparison

Now be honest.Which one looks better and sharper here?The difference is visible plain as daylight on a camera even

The reason is the iPhone still relies on antiquated LCD technology whereas nearly all of Apple's rivals have transitioned to the superior AMOLED.And to conclude my argument,the S6 AMOLED you are seeing above is going to be implemented by Apple using the very same Samsung manufacturing in 2018 which by then will no doubt be "revolutionary" because Apple does it.

I'm quite sure you'll be satisfied with your bloated Galaxy S7.

What do you mean "bloated"?In your blind hate for Samsung have you played with the S6 Touchwiz UI for a long period of time.Theres a night and day difference between Touchwiz on an S4,S5 and the Galaxy S6.Their UI rivals Apple at this point of time in terms of being user friendly

The 6S is on the lower rungs in DxOMark test which is a professional image quality tester free from bias.The S6 has the best and highest camera quality from accuracy point of view.

This is a marked difference between the SJ era and TC era.When SJ was around the iPhone had a WOW factor in all aspects of points of reference which is absent in Apple nowadays

The iphone shots look more realistic and less blown out.

As far as "conveniently forgetting" iphone sales will go down. You know if you take a 1000 monkeys and give them all the time in the world to poke at a typewriter eventually one will produce a best-selling novel. If every day you get up and say "it's gonna rain" eventually you will be right. See where I am coming from? What will really be impressive is if you can predict the closing price of the AAPL stock on the day of the next earnings call.

The iphone takes photos more consistently than the competition, something DXO doesn't measure. No one wants blown out highlights or color-shifting which is what Samsung tends to do.

At any rate, I remind you, while it's well within your pervue to pick everything apart, the people have spoken. The people don't care about some of these nits. In fact 75 million people just did not give a hoot about stutter, lag, screen rez, DXO, who has higher quality services etc. They just went out and got the phone. Even if the number is not exactly 75M as the distinction between shipped and bought, how did that number compare to the competition?

What thread are we in again? Oh yeah, "apple let us down". Yep, apple let down about 5 people according to this thread.

so basically your entire point is about the intentionally oversaturated Samsung's display ?
You are the perfect Samsung customer then ...
In the pictures you linked the BEST (by far) images are the ones on the iPhone.
The S6's screen is so blown up that many details are lost.
Again: you should buy a Samsung phone (and be happy with their pentile matrix ... ah ok, they have 452729x62827 resolution )

You are bashing Apple IN EVERY SINGLE THREAD you sign in. Every single one.
You don't like it, you jump ship.
Easy solution.

I dont know about the S5 but the S6 Edge besides me currently has ZERO lags in UI

and this is the proof how biased your comments are.
The S6 UI is less smoother than iOS 9 in every way.

You conveniently forget to mention that iPhone sales are going to be on a decline from next quarter.So yes they are doing SOMETHING wrong

You conveniently forgot to mention that Apple sales in the last quarter was still GROWING, even if by a narrow margin, and they sold many more flagships than your beloved Samsung.
Samsung profits in the mobile sector are shrinking by 40 %....
Who's doing it worst ?

[cracksoup]

Not disappointed really but I do think they make some crazy moves. But then if they didn't, it wouldn't really be Apple! Such as taking away all ports on a computer just to make it as razor thin as possible. It seems stupid in 2015 but I'm quite sure others will do the same this and next year.

Taking away 3,5mm jack (rumoured iPhone 7) seems like an idiotic move but we'll see how apple solves it.

Stupid things like making the base model iPhone 16GB just makes no sense. However I'm not affected by that because I wanted a 64GB phone anyway. I like Apple and embrace their ideas! It's a cool company which still pushes boundaries.

+100000......I own both an iPhone 6S and Galaxy S6...100% agree with the points mentioned above. Especially the display resolution. Apple is clearly fooling people around saying that human eye cannot see beyond retina resolution (750p) on iPhone 6S. Totally false statement, i can clearly see the difference in every video / Web page / text. Thinking why no body has sued apple for false Marketing and claims. Don't believe it, compare in any shop and you will realise...

Apple is clearly fooling people around saying that human eye cannot see beyond retina resolution (750p) on iPhone 6S. Totally false statement, i can clearly see the difference in every video / Web page / text. Thinking why no body has sued apple for false Marketing and claims. Don't believe it, compare in any shop and you will realise...

PPI and resolution are not the same thing.
