Mashable iPhone 6 review:

[Fezan]

No comparison with androids ?

 

[knicks]

Probably the worst review I have ever read.

Hopefully it was taken off the site because it wasn't completely finished.

 

[Ken Masters]

The battery news for the plus warms my heart

 

[infiniteloop]

No comparison with androids ?

It's not a toxic hellstew.

I’d say this is the best screen I’ve seen on a mobile phone.

Bbbbbb PPI!

 

[whatever77]

No comparison with androids ?

5.5" phones
Samsung: 3 years ago; Apple: Now

1080p screen
LG: 2 years ago; Apple: Now

etc etc

 

[Deleted member 17706]

No comparison with androids ?

Why would they? People interested in the iPhone are interested in iOS.

 

[xsarien]

It's not a toxic hellstew.

Yeah, but what about *non* Samsung Androids?

 

[Übermatik]

5.5" phones

What's your point?

 

[DarkFlow]

You better watch it, people might get angry.

 

[whatever77]

What's your point?

Preview of the next few pages.

 

[GamerKingFaiz]

What's your point?

Apple is always playing catch up. No big deal though, Apple shoots for aesthetics first.

 

[rkn]

No comparison with androids ?

I heard its better than Androids.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Not being the first to do something means you are playing catch up?

 

[Goodlife]

If it were bigger, it would be too big (6 Plus)

Oh this does make me laugh. It's always just about the right size when it come to iPhones and any bigger wouldn't work, until, of course, they release a bigger phone.

 

[rokkerkory]

No comparison with androids ?

don't do this lol

 

[LyleLanley]

I get your point but do you really think people want phones bigger than the 6 Plus? I could see wanting a bigger screen on the same sized body but as it is the phone looks so gigantic that anything bigger would be ridiculous in my opinion.

 

[The Faceless Master]

- Battery life of 6 Plus is amazing, much better than previous iPhones. Reviewer didn't charge his Plus for 2 consecutive nights

DAT battery

can't wait for GSMArena/AnandTech reviews

 

[Frodo]

My thoughts exactly.

Also, he mentions he thinks Plus' screen is the best screen ever. Seriously... Might be the best screen ever on a iPhone, but ever on a phone? No.

 

[Jonnax]

don't do this lol

Are iPhones not allowed to be compared with other phones?

 

[studyguy]

6 Plus is already ridiculous.

 

[Ty4on]

My thoughts exactly.

Why not? There is much more to displays than pixels, especially when they're barely visible.
I think we might see some iPad Air-esque results.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Are iPhones not allowed to be compared with other phones?

Why would you want to compare it to another platform? Who reading an iPhone review would want to read about the latest and greatest from Android or Windows when they do not care about those platforms?

 

[Hasney]

Why would they? People interested in the iPhone are interested in iOS.

I'm interested in a new phone and not fawning over one OS or the other, so yeah, I'd be interested. Fortunately there's competent sites that will do that.

Because I want to see if it competes on battery life in a like for like test, camera is better than other manufacturers handsets. Why is that so hard to comprehend?

 

[Bigfoot]

Oh this does make me laugh. It's always just about the right size when it come to iPhones and any bigger wouldn't work, until, of course, they release a bigger phone.

Yeah I noticed that too. I think the 6 Plus is way too big and probably the 6 too (but I need to try it). I'm one of the few one-hand only phone users that remain.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

I'm interested in a new phone and not fawning over one OS or the other, so yeah, I'd be interested. Fortunately there's competent sires that will do that.

You want a break down of iOS 8 vs. Android 4.4 or something? All of that information is already out there.

 

[Shouta]

6 Plus is already ridiculous.

It's the size of a Vita!?

 

[Hasney]

No. I'm talking hardware.

6 Plus is already ridiculous.

Ridiculously the right size for a phone, yes it is. I am glad they finally embraced the big phone.

 

[infiniteloop]

My thoughts exactly.

Also, he mentions he thinks Plus' screen is the best screen ever. Seriously... Might be the best screen ever on a iPhone, but ever on a phone? No.

When's your iPhone 6 review going up?

 

[Majmun]

Why would you want to compare it to another platform? Who reading an iPhone review would want to read about the latest and greatest from Android or Windows when they do not care about those platforms?

I think it's nice for the people who are looking for a new phone and want to see any comparisons.

 

[reKon]

I won't be surprised if the iPhone 6+ has battery life that's comparable to the Z3.

 

[Frodo]

When's your iPhone 6 review going up?

Defensive much?

I'm not the one saying it. Display Mate is.

 

[studyguy]

It's the size of a Vita!?

Setting it next to something that isn't simply a phone tends to give you a much better idea of size I feel. Granted it's way the fuck thinner and lighter, but it's really fucking big.

 

[Camp Lo]

6 Plus is already ridiculous.

That's .... something.

 

[ponpo]

2 consecutive nights yeah right. Of what, just browsing? Zzzzzzz.

Open maps for a while.

 

[Damian.]

5.5" phones
Samsung: 3 years ago; Apple: Now

1080p screen
LG: 2 years ago; Apple: Now

etc etc

Pretty much. It is unfair to compare the current iPhone to mid range Android devices.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Android has left Apple in the dust. Phone makers are lapping them as well.

 

[Hasney]

I won't be surprised if the iPhone 6+ has battery life that's comparable to the Z3.

Exactly, that's why I needs to get a comparison. Anandtech and GSMArena should bring it at least.

 

[ponpo]

Android has left Apple in the dust. Phone makers are lapping them as well.

Damn, RIP Apple then ;_;7

 

[infiniteloop]

Defensive much?

Not at all. You sound like you're familar with the device. So I wondered what you thought of it.

anyone else feel like this is a review of a dildo and its packaging in two szies, with the words "dildo" replaced with "iphone?

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Maybe. I just can't see a large audience of people who are interested in the flagship iPhone but are also on the fence and considering an Android phone as a possible alternative based simply on hardware differences like battery life.

 

[KHarvey16]

I'm not the one saying it. Display Mate is.

I searched and couldn't find the word iPhone in there.

 

[Majmun]

Yeah, from what I understand the Z3 seems to be superior to the iPhone 6. With better specs and features.

Can't wait for the comparisons.

 

[Hasney]

You own a dildo with a camera?!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Damn, RIP Apple then ;_;7

I own an Android and IOS phone. Apple are simply behind.

 

[Courage]

Dildos have cameras now?

 

[Shouta]

Yeah, makes sense. I ddin't really think it'd have as big as a vita, thickness and weight aside. D=

Dildos have cameras now?

You're going to give people ideas...

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Specs mean little.

My Xperia Z1s has far better on-paper specs than my old iPhone 5S, but it performs much worse in real world usage.

I own an Android and IOS phone. Apple are simply behind.

Welp. Pack it up, folks! The verdict is in.

 

[Currygan]

6 Plus is already ridiculous.

Jesus Christ!
