Noticed that, can't wait to tinker with iOS 8 this evening. Spotting quite a few subtle improvements.

This is my view on the whole debate.
Apple = a Gated, access controlled community. All the houses must look more or less the same, you have to live by the rules and not balk at the levies. But you get some security / peace and quiet and your kids can play safely. (More or less)
Samsung (therefore Android) = everything outside the gated communities of Apple. You have less restrictions, can paint your house any colour, but you need to put up your own fences and maintain your own safety and that of your kids.
You choose according to your pocket book, and your needs. In the end, you spend only a few hours at the place, half of which you're asleep.
Wait... isn't this Properties.com?

Nothing cached at all, I don't use Facebook, that was a straight install, I never even opened the app let alone signed in. Installed, checked size, uninstalled.
That is on a Note 3, try it yourself on your phone and see what size it shows...
Also, the .apk size is immaterial, the conversation related to the size of the app on iOS and android. The app size is around 66MB on both, that is a fact.

It looks like the camera improvements in the 6 and more so in the 6+ are truly impressive over the 5s. The focus pixels seem to work beautifully (marketing terminology aside), and the timelapse and 240fps slo-mo are great additions. Also the new iOS8 photo app which gives more direct input to the camera's technical settings makes a noticeable difference, especially to variable exposures. Night imaging is improved, stability is improved... If you use the phone as a camera (and let's face it, the camera is becoming more important on a phone than the phone calling), the 6/6+ are a very justifiable upgrade.

Slow mo's are great but unfortunately lack quality on my 5s due to low res,what resolution will these on the iphone 6 be at?

Erm hm not sure.. the fps have been increased. The res on panoramas has also been increased quite a bit, up to 43mp.
Ok someone says this:
720p/240fps 1080p/60fps

I could live with 720p/240fps if they don't make the video darker like i noticed with the 5s.....bit keen to get the iphone 6,just that I got so used to water resistance on the s5.
Will have to think it through when its gets here.

There's probably some upscaling done to achieve 720p240. Our R120,000 slow motion camera can only do 240fps at 1080p, while at 480fps is upscaled from 480p to achieve 1080p.

Yea but but but focus pixels dude. Focus.Pixels. That's all I have to say on that.

Interesting. I don't have Facebook installed, but I've never noticed APK's installing apps larger than they were (to be honest, I've never compared the two).

General consensus seems to be that the 6 Plus (and to a large extent, the 6) has the best smartphone camera around. But the megapixel resolution will always be the drawback once other manufacturers employ larger micron-pixel sensors, and the improved Camera API found in Android L is properly exploited. Oh, and Google following HTC's lead and implementing fully manual controls into the Camera app.
That specific shot is lovely.

To what extent can that be done within the constraints of a phone size, and at the pixel densities being currently employed by the Samsung/Sonys? That stunning looking Panasonic Lumix with a 1-inch sensor is quite thick to compensate for its camera dimensions.
