iPhone 6 special event announced by Apple

There been a number of online comparisons between the 5s and a 4.7" iPhone 6 replica. Thinner form factor coupled with a more efficient design lends itself to one handed use. You and PP are going to love it!!

Sounds good. A hardy cover always bulks it up though. We'll see soon.

I don't understand apple users at all.

so you are getting exited for a product that will be 30% more expensive than the competition and offer stats that will be 6 moths behind the competition.

you are so damn brainwashed that you cannot see that I am right. so conclusion, Apple fans have no logic, and cannot be reasoned with, therefore apple fans are exactly like Christians.

also Why the Fsuck do you put a capital letter in the middle of a word?!

Fandroid idiots frequenting this thread, why are you here?

The title on the thread is quite clear, so if you hate Apple so much, why do you come here to post rants against them?
Another element of the demented Fandroid mindset is to continue to justify why their phones are better, as well as bash the people that use iPhones.
If I do not want to be able to tweak my phone and throw a custom ROM on, does this make me stupid? Hell no.
I've played all those games before in my HTC days, but now I've grown up and have better things to do with my time.

Just accept that different people have different tastes. Your logic trying to bash or compare the two phones are completely baseless.
It's exactly the same as someone trying to just justify why a Mercedes Benz is "better" than a BMW, or vice versa.
I've got an iPhone 5 and a Note 3, so I'm not a fanboy.
Now bugger off to some other thread to moan about how unhappy Apple makes you.

Very interested to see how the rumors compare to the real deal this year.

Yes I know, and I agree with you...
In fact when the 5 came out, I was so disappointed I argued with myself about going out and getting the Galaxy S3 which had far better specs in terms of hardware.
However, the software won me over in the end.
I love the iTunes store, and I find a much higher quality of applications besides easier navigation and better variety of apps.

I must say though, that Apple will not release a feature until they are certain that it will add value and will work flawlessly.
I love their attention to detail and practicality combined.

That's just it.

It's not just about the phone. It's the entire ecosystem and user experience that matters.

The phone is actually a very small part of that.

Unlike Android where the phone is seemingly everything.

You accuse others of being brainwashed and declare yourself to be right.

I really don't understand posts like these. They are designed to antagonise, crafted to offend.

As an Android user myself (I've never owned anything from Apple), I honestly don't understand the hate in this post and many other in this thread.

Ultimately, these guys continue to make universal claims about what is best based on no more than their self-defined criteria.

Must say what really put me off the 5/5s was the poor build quality! Yes, it feels like a premium product and for the most part is built accordingly but the bezel scuffing effecting the model is nothing short of shocking!! Using a 5/5s with a decent cover is mandatory IMHO.

The 5c on the other hand, although no were near the premium feel of the 5/5s, is built to last and age gracefully! I've had mine covered in a minimalist body glove pouch and it's as good as new, minus the bulk.

iPhone 6 follows the 5c/iPod route of design and form factor more than it does the 5/5s which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing.
 
Hi SauRoNZA ,

Don't you think it's more about which ecosystem owns you by now?

Both iPhone and Android (or Google) have pretty awesome ecosystems.

Google's ecosystem is just not totally tangible, it's very "service" oriented. However with their billions of $'s being invested in "the internet of things" their ecosystem will even one day control my fridge for some reason, or drive me home (not sure I like that idea though)

Apple of course has an amazing device ecosystem, and a die hard fan base who will queue up like they are waiting to enter a concert.

I don't think the phone is "everything" because there is a new device every month.
The ecosystem in my opinion is everything...and of course affordability :)

So people are angry at Apple users because HOW DARE YOU BUY SOMETHING THAT I DON"T LIKE WAAAAAAAH?

Get over yourselves. People buy different things for different reasons.
 
Well now I love iPhones & Samsungs unfortunately I cannot afford either & wish I could...I have a cheapie (Blackberry Bold) and only too happy that at the end of the day if I get stuck in the middle of nowhere & need help I can still make that call ;-)

Don't get me wrong I use Google's ecosystem everyday in the form of Google Apps in both out Business and my private life, Google+ and I used Hangouts almost exclusively these days.

However I just don't feel their ecosystem is very "device linked" and fully integrated.

It's funny actually because so many of my Android friends only buy into that part of Google and nothing else. They don't do Hangouts, Google+ or Google Docs and many only have a Gmail account for setting up their phone and not actually for email.

On the flipside my Apple devices are an endpoint to access the Ecosystem that is Apple's for not just myself but my whole family.

My photos are auto backed up to Photostream (Google+)which is synced back down to iPhoto via the Cloud on my Mac.

My family have shared photostreams.

Music is bought and stored on iTunes. Backups of all our devices as well.

The reality is that switching to Android would actually break my life, so that's not an option.

The combination that is my iPhone + iPad + MacBook is something Android simply doesn't have and I would be lacking for if I changed any of my devices.

Granted I haven't used a Chromebook but then the adoption of that has been so slow that I'm guessing it's not all that great anyway.

It's therefore simply a fact to me that although Google might be 90% there they simply don't have the same end to end integration that Apple offers me.

And sure not everyone wants that, which is fine you don't need to have it. But as someone who is used to working like that by now I would so myself a disservice to change.

Apple knows that and keeps improving on it. And I'm perfectly happy spending more of my money with them because it keeps on working. If they start adding home automation and other aspects to that you certainly won't see me complaining.

Case in point, if I shop for cars again the possibility of having an Apple-enabled car will be very high on my decision making list.
 
Hahaha... I know exactly what you mean! I have only recently started utilising the Google ecosystem, but ultimately my online life is far messier than my Apple counterparts. I think a lot of people will be waiting in line at the Apple car dealer :)

Interestingly enough I use Google for my calendar and contact syncing simply because I haven't found an efficient way to migrate all that data or sync it efficiently otherwise.
