Re: The iPhone thread

Maybe at this point they'll concede that their phones are getting either too thin for the material used.. or that the phones are too thin period.

I have an enormous house brick sized thick phone (Sony Z3 compact) at 8.6mm and that feels too thin, it won't bend though as it's not made of tin foil I mean aluminium...

Apple are getting slated for their el crappo battery capacity now, with experts asking why the battery capacity is so low, in order to have phones so thin that they now bend on top of crappy battery life.

GSMArena who are normally quite pro apple, gave it a real slating in their comprehensive review.

I'll give you a small taste, you can read the whole thing below.

This is Apple like we've never seen before. Apple like we never thought we'll see. To begin with, there's supposed to be no better iPhone than the iPhone 6. That's the sort of thing you'd expect of Apple. Come September every year, the world grabs a bag of popcorn and gets ready to watch Apple's bestest iPhone yet come on stage in all its glory.
That's what we did too, minus the popcorn, which by the way would've had nothing to do with the bitter aftertaste the presentation left. And no, we don't mean Apple's live streaming blunder.
Things actually started off nicely with the announcement of the long overdue screen size bump, and we didn't get a cheaper option this time - we were treated to possibly a bigger, better iPhone to go with the best iPhone to date. How Apple - it takes another iPhone to beat the iPhone.

Apple iPhone 6
It felt though like they're telling the audience, you don't have to go to the competition to do better. We never thought we'd see Apple do that - imply that. We missed the usual arrogance if you will. The kind that preached that screens bigger than 4" are a nonsense. The kind that insists on the retina resolution while the competition is at QHD.
Rounded corners? 8MP camera? NFC? This must be year 2012. Apple's not about cutting-edge hardware, but content and user experience. We've heard enough of that. And hey, it's a valid strategy. But this year even the most loyal iPhone users among us have a feeling they're being fed a feature a year with Apple withholding significant upgrades that would make the iPhone technologically superior, or equal to the flagships of the competition.

I think finally, the world is waking up to the fact that with Jobs gone Apple is just another overpriced, feature lagging hyped product, now there ARE better products out there, in short the kool-aid has worn off, and you know what? it's long overdue.

Oh yes, they also royally screwed up their IOS 8 update too to add insult to injury lol
