Interesting. I guess this says that the notorious iSheep (or ''Isheep'' if you speak Android) actually make good purchasing decisions.

Even if they're paying a premium more for the bendy phone, they save a minute of their life every 4-minutes of intense app-switching.

Please, check some real benchmarks: A7 is still the fastest processor, despite being only 1.4Ghz and being Dual-Core, it has much higher IPC's. It was a remarkable processor, as Anandtech said last year, "only Intel is competitive". Source: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7335/the-iphone-5s-review/5

A8 is slightly faster but with more of a focus on reducing power consumption, still the fastest mobile processor around, and the most efficient by far. http://www.anandtech.com/show/8554/the-iphone-6-review/5

But still, Apple should've increased the battery capacity to at least 2300 mAh for the iPhone6. The 6's battery stats don't look so promising, and that's what might make me try the Sony Xperia Z3 compact. The 6+ is a no-no, looks massive

No I think it's adequate. Most tests are showing the iPhone 6+ is up there with the other phablets in terms of battery life, looking at two days of usage. Apple once again get away with a smaller battery due to the efficiency of the A8.

Nope - There are many better chips out there with even better efficiency and power, but nothing beats the efficiency of Apples entire ecosystem.

Pretty happy with the battery. Heavy usage and I get this
