How is wireless charging possible?
Moto X would like to have a word with you....

the 6 plus is bigger than my OPO which is itself too big.
good luck fitting one in your pocket.

you can do wireless payments with the new iphone.
The Note 4 (and also Note Edge) and S5 are tons better spec wise. The Iphone 6 doesn't even seem as good spec wise as the S4.

No Z3 on the chart?
The moto x looks badass, but isn't the resolution, camera and general look inferior to the G3?

No point comparing the two on specs. The things that matter are software preference, battery life, and camera IMO.
It's not. At least not in the same way we mean wireless. It's inductive charging via simple contact between conductive surfaces, but actual charging over the air is impossible.

You're joking, right?
I also think that while the G3 is a spec driven device so that on paper it looks the best, it's a good example of how consumers are misled into thinking that bigger number = better. But that's just my subjective opinion.
The fact that you value the G3 having an excessive 1440p resolution over the Moto X's 1080p is really something that proves my point. Camera is definitely worse, but general look is more subjective. I for one like the X's look over most of the Android competition, if not all of them. But, again, that's just me.

I'm still extremely happy with my OnePlus One 
Well you still need a dock/pad whatever to place the phone on, you just don't need to plug anything in.
The resolution is perfect. The G3 is straining it's little cpu with all of those pixels, which is where the battery and heat concerns come in. They were about a year too early. Moto X stuck with a 1080p screen, which the Snapdragon 801 can handle with ease.
And guess what, you can't even notice the res bump in the G3.
The camera on the G3 is better, but only marginally. Not even noticeable unless you really try.
Look is subjective. Moto X has a shit ton of hardware customization.

This list should include the Xperia z3 as well.
What Apple does do better is efficiency. It's the main positive of having a closed OS that you can design hardware around.
The new iPhone will destroy in graphical benchmarks, but for 90% of people, that will not matter all. There are way too many Android phones that are more affordable and offer a great experience right now.
The new iPhone is comparable to the Xperia Z3C size wise. The Z3C seems like it will offer more all across. Once Android L comes to it, I think that it will be safe to say it will be the better phone because of design, waterdust/proof, vastly superior battery life, PS4 remote play, possibly better camera, and most importantly stock-like Android L.
KitKat is already a better OS. If the app support was better on Android, then it wouldn't even close.

ahh got it.
Lol basing real-world use off of specs
No.
Unless you're talking about last year's model, in which case that would be last year's model.
Most of the people still waiting in line to buy one are wondering the same thing...

My OPO fits just fine in my pocket, I assume the 6 Plus I'll inevitably buy (I'm weak) will too.

Backorder.
Different OS so it is really hard to say. They both have their pluses/minuses. Would like to see some real world battery stats on the iphone 6/6+. iPhones and Androids are getting so fast these days that I think it just depends on which phones have the features and app support that you want. Personally, I really like removable battery and microSD card support, along with wireless charging. Hopefully the iPhone 6/6+ will have extra RAM since 1GB is pretty low.
You could probably look at benchmarking tools and all that, but from day to day usage I would be surprised if you would notice much of a difference speedwise.

Never said anything about real world use only specs...
Then why even bring it up? Does anything other than real world use matter?
Specs still make a difference and also affect real world usage. Add to that, it shows how much value proposition these manufacturers are actually offering their consumer base, because the specs of these devices are where much of the manufacturing costs are.

No RAM specs for iPhone 6 yet?

I agree! Moto X would be my top choice in the Android arena. The usability enhancements matter much more than specs.

Probably so if they aren't even mentioning it. Their 'technical specifications' page is a joke.
This too. They announce all these new features for devs like Metal and go ahead and leave the RAM at 1GB? It really limits what can be developed with these phones when you compare the specs to flagship Android phones.
As a dev I'm completely fed up with the lack of RAM. If it's seriously still 1GB that will be hilarious.
I don't know if this is legit but if it is...
Devs are going to have a tough time.
I would say yes.

Probably, but I do most of my gaming on my Playstation. Regardless, everything I've ever wanted and more is on the play store.

how the hell is ram Not applicable?
Sony crying at the lack of Z3.
That's ok, it'll be in comparison charts when it finally reaches the hands of consumers in 2016.
I just don't think it had been confirmed when the person made that image, but all signs point to 1GB of RAM.

My M8 is super snappy and handles multitasking like a dream. I don't see how the iPhone 6 will compete if it really does only have 1 gig of ram.
