:-D of course there are some strong points in favor of the iphone 6, but this guy goes completely overboard. Seeing his list of argumetns is great fun.
Relevant compared to modern android phones:
- 64bit processor can help a lot with photo work, such as HDR. On the other hand some Android vendors use dedicated processors from their camera lineups for this (Like the Sony Xperia line).
But android phones freezing and lagging often? No way. Why not keep to facts instead of spreading "information" that is far more dubious than the picture he is responding to?
- Camera may be "superior to most cameras in smartphones today", but why not compare to the current high end phones? Sorry. The iphone 6 has only been catching up. And even the cheapest one is far more expensive than the top models from other brands. You cannot compare it to "most android phones".
- Faster LTE is nice as long as your network provider really gives you access to it. How often do you need faster speeds than what you have today? By the time your network provider can offer the new speeds you probably have a new phone anyway.
- Apps... "half the apps [on android phones] are useless" ??? WTF? Seriously? Unless you mean the un-uninstallable stuff bundled in by your provider when buying a locked phone. It's not that bad over here, but I understand it is a pain in the US.
- The iphone has a "premium feel" when holding it? If you think that then you definitely are a fanboy. :-D
- Most android phones look the same? Seriously???? Let me tell you one thing... There is infinitely more variation among android phones than among iphones. Iphones all look the same. This guy want us to take him seriously?
- The fact that the Nexus 4 had wireless charging 2 years ago is irrelevant because none of the nexus 4 owners he knows have bought the charger? His nexus-owning buddies define that it is irrelevant that phones have had wireless charging before the iphone? This is really a fanboy.
- Fingerprint scanners are nothing new on android either, even if the nexus 4 doesn't have one. We have seen on previous iphones how a cat paw can unlock the phone. Android vendors have mostly ditched the idea of fingerprint scanners. And you now say it is secure enough for identifying me for purchases? I'll wait and see...
- Customer support - this is full on fanboyism. Have you really tested apple support? It works for the kind of problems you could ask a buddy for help with. Your buddy would do it for free (or a beer). But apple support actually charge you through the nose just for something as simple as adding a pre-existing email account to the email app! And try (as a corporate customer) to get a bulk exchange of recalled chargers...
The iphone 6 hardware isn't exciting at all except for those deeply invested in apple. Sorry, Nidhi Singai. It's the simple truth. This is nothing more than barely catching up. Next month it will be way behind again.
Let's hope there are more interesting news hiding underneath these fanboy wars. Is the Apple Pay solution something that actually will work? Will it also open up to other phones? So far there has been to much fighting among credit card companies, network companies and national interests to make one payment solution over NFC work. Is there anything at all in the new announcement beside apple pay that is interesting?

Somehow this shows up in google now.
Looks the the author has seen the mocking comparison done by Ron Amadeo and disagrees..

If the iPhone 6 didn't outperform a 2 year old device, I would be really shocked.
SvarSlettThe N4 is still a great phone, and was amazing 2 years ago
