iPhone 6 is going to bury samsung

[Scott Larock]

so you're 40 and don't care about this stuff, but you're chasing the newest phone, when you already own a phone?

aint chasing shyt, when i can upgrade i will

I think that's one of the biggest myths out here. That's was Steve Jobs way of thinking and since he ran shyt that's what went down. As far as the fanboys, yeah there were people that ate up whatever Apple served but I think there were more people that wanted a bigger screen.

The 1st big screen phone I remember seeing is the Evo. I been wanting a bigger screen since then. Everyone that I know personally that has been rocking an iPhone for awhile has wanted a bigger screen and that 4" inch shyt they pulled with the 5 wasn't cutting it.

It would be interesting to see what size the iPhone would be today if Jobs were still alive.

Not a myth because when they did increase the screen size finally with the 5 it was that weird long screen then the 5S came out and continued that trend. Jobs died in 2011 and the 5 came out in 2012.

thats my biggest gripe also and ive been ios since 08 (ipod touch)


I respect what android stands for and believe it has a place in the cellphone game. i like that they constantly push what a cellphone can do and contain, but im not terribly interested in the specs or customization of it anymore. I use to want the HTC desire (and motorola droid with the slide out keyboard ) more than ANYTHING ( i was pretty much fukk iphone) but once i got an iphone 4, shyt just clicked. I had came from a windows phone and had an ipod touch, so i thought an iphone 4 would be wack because i was use to iOS. but once i got the 4 and used it full tim,. I appreciated its snappyness (at the time) and ease of use. I didn't know the specs compared to the HTC Desire i just new the shyt worked, and i didnt have near as many problems as my then girlfriend had with her htc at the time.

Been a fan ever since

I'm 40 years old, I don't care about none of that android stuff, with age your interest dwindle and your main goal is survival. I don't have time for none of that android stuff but I use a HTC ONE and it's a good phone I just don't care about all the crap it can do.

When I get the money together I'll get the Iphone, I don't like the design of the 6 though.

these two post sum up perfectly why people like Apple products. the iPhone is for the casual user that wants a homogenized simple easy to use smartphone you just pick up and go with. Pro users can get into that when Jailbroken but most of that base is casual. Android from the gate almost demands you customize it. Apple has reached a point where the brand is so strong they don't need to innovate anymore. they let Android come up with new ideas and years later incorporate them if they like them and think they work.

Apple fanboys still hyping up shyt Android had two years ago likes its some new shyt. Nobody is impressed by your dumbass waiting in line for a phone that isnt even better then shyt on the market already.

 

[Slystallion]

to be fair most of the Iphone sales are upgrades and they are right now too expensive to compete in the emerging markets and Android is mopping up the floor with phone sales internationally with a much higher potential to get new phone users while the U.S. market is already saturated

would you rather my old ass install a rom in my spare time? you expect a nikka my age to watch to download youtube videos and download torrents on my phone? im i just wanna text, call and search google for shyt i dont know. my old ass is trying to find a new career, i need some a little more productive than android.

IOS quick search by swiping down from the top searches for any program, widgets on the LOCK SCREEN like EVERNOTE for productivity is what I consider good. I like android but for me simplicity is better, I'm trying to straighten up in real life, I been though mad shyt.

I've been GSDG since the iPhone 4 but I'm switching back to iOS

Don't get me wrong I love android but that lag that every android phone has after 6 to 8 months is unbearable

I'm on my 2 year old Note 2 right now and its disgusting how laggy this phone is. It performs nothing like it did the first 6 months

On the other hand my iPhone 4 is still smooth after 4 years

I'm gonna miss a lot of stuff about android but fukk it, I need that buttery smooth OS in my life again

So tired of clicking on chrome and it literally takes 10 seconds before the browser opens

The first 6 months with basically any android flagship phone>>>>>>>>iPhones but iPhones perform better in the long run

As you get older shyt like widgets on the home screen...downloading Roms...etc feels more like a waste a time and just doing shyt just to do it. I found myself mainly doing the same shyt on a note 3 or gs5 that I would do on a iPhone minus a few features (drag and drop/downloading zips/rars of music from the web natively/IR blaster for my tv when a remote isn't around). Outside of those things...iOS does do a few things better (universal search quick and easy/everything is snappier/camera and camera app/etc). At the end of the day I'm pretty much Doing the same shyt on both regardless of how many more customization features android brings. I'm more so about how well you do the things that I use these days and at this point honestly both get a 1up in certain areas....but iOS is definitely more polished right now and updates you can depend on without a fragmented time schedule....so right now I'm rocking this iPhone 6 as my daily driver and my gs5 as a back up as well as accessing a couple features I can't use on ios when needed...I need my shobox streaming to my chrome cast especially so my gs5 ain't going nowhere right now.

Also...I don't know what it is but I manually type way faster and more accurately on the iPhone keyboard...I think it has something to do with input lag or something

your current phone doesn't already do this?

Dear God you had to wait 10 seconds for an app to load. I got a Galaxy S5 and an iPad Mini Retina sitting right next to each other and the apps load at about the same time apart.Even if it did take 10 extra seconds so what what extra productivity would I get done in that timespan?

The stuff we argue about Come on, man.....we supposed to be brothers!

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

nikkas are really arguing over inanimate objects and big-upping corporations they dont work for or own stock in?

i agree, which is why im only copping stock (or very close to stock) phones from here on out.

but people act like ios does the simple shyt so much better, which ive never understood.

I'm impatient as fukk breh

shyt is just annoying

Everything I do with my phone has a delayed reaction. I'm telling you if you had to deal with this shyt it would piss you off too

If I was the type to switch my phones up every 6 months to a year it wouldn't matter but I like to keep my phones for a couple years and that's impossible with Android

Also the S5 is still fairly new, I bet a year from now it won't be opening apps at the same speed as the iPad mini

I can agree with that. My co worker pretty much stated the same thing (we are both engineers) and he was look "I think all the stuff android allows you to do is cool but sometimes I just don't feel like dealing with it, that's why I want my iPhone back"

And yea apple is pretty much using everyone else as Guinea pigs at this point. I think some one will come and change the game and knock them out of that fan favorite spot.

It does though in some areas...if not just faster. Swipe down on the home screen for universal search...underrated convenience..and quick.

The recent contacts from the multitasking screen is convenient...I like this feature.

The camera and camera app is huge on the iPhone 6...the gs5 is one of the best android cameras on the market if not the best and let me tell you...the speed at which the iPhone 6 takes pictures and the quality of them when taking them...much better imo. From lock screen to taking a picture is a faster experience and the quality is always better.

The fingerprint scanner...coming from a guy that doesn't use lock codes or passcodes on android phones because it annoys me when I have to do it every time my screen shuts off....just being able to press the home button and keep your finger on it to unlock with the security...way more convenient.


Overall moving in and out of apps is just always snappy and smooth...literally no lag so far.

Now don't get me wrong...everything isn't easier on iOS...like I said earlier android has its own perks as well. Both have their strengths but right now iOS 8 coupled with the 6 seems more suitable for what I do on a normal basis and I enjoy the polish and snappiness. I still have my gs5 for android strengths tho.
