Apple has done it again, fantastic company they are.

I remember the dreadful home button when I was using the iPhone 4. It went dead eventually, and I had to use assistive touch. Like  a crutch.

10 features the Xperia Z3 has over the iPhone 6
Water/dust proof: The Xperia Z3 has the highest level of dust & water resistance available with an IP rating of IP65/68. Sony says that you can use the phone while swimming in fresh water for up to 30 minutes up to a depth of 1.5 metres.
Stereo speakers / High-res audio: The Xperia Z3 has stereo speakers and also includes DSEE HX (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine), which allows you to upscale heavily compressed songs in AAC/MP3 to near High-Resolution sound quality.
4K video recording: The Xperia Z3 allows you to record at 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution, ideal for playback on a 4K TV or projector which are starting to hit the mainstream. The iPhone 6 is capable of 1080p HD video recording at 60 fps.
Micro SD card slot with USB On-the-go, USB Host
3GB of ram for Z3 and 2GB for compact
Mass storage device.
1/2.3" 20.7MP Camera sensor with Max ISO of 12.800 and wide angle 25mm G-lens
Battery that last longer
Come with open source flexible OS
PS4 Remote Play: This feature will only appeal to gamers, but it is a neat one nonetheless. PS4 Remote Play allows you to stream games from your PlayStation 4 to your Xperia Z3 through your wireless network. What’s great is that games can be played with the DUALSHOCK®4 controller using a special mount, which means you can share the TV with the family without missing out on your gaming action.
Reminder: I bought a 4.7 inch phone with NFC and 1GB RAM in 2011

WOW They made it bigger and thinner!!! Amazing.... So much new stuff that the galaxy s5 doesnt already have

[englishpills]

now, i can buy an iphone! the only thing that used to hold me back from buying an i phone was its size but now it's pretty good for me, i don't care if samsung devises are more customisable but apple's name is enough for me

[elginavila]

is it crazy that i still like the way the iphone 4 & 4s look better? The glass back was nice to me.

Do you know why I love apple? Because they never disappoint me. They always work as I want to every moment of time. When I'm on assignment deadline and need to do quick editing all I need just open my mac and it just on (since I always put it on sleep mode, most of time) in a sec, and then my photo that I need to edit that I just took from my iphone will appear straight away via wifi and icloud and then it just take less than 10 seconds to open photoshop and any other app. And I think it's worth every money to spend.

To gather those money is a pain in the ass tho...but that's why I have my parents :)

Apple watch is the best watch right now.

[ccarazay]

To be honest, i think the iPhone 6 will give me a better user experience than the nexus 5 i had. 

[demitri]

It sounds like you took the iPhone in the janitor's closet and did a quick minute video before hearing your supervisor's footsteps.

[kellyho]

Am I the only one here who loves the camera of iPhones? The color of the photos are so much better than samsung or lg :/

[rlmarin]

It always cracks me up when people say "this is better than that...suck it". In the end folks...THEY'RE JUST PHONES. do they make/take calls? Can you shoot a pic or two here or there?

It's all about preference. One isn't better than the other outside of personal subjectivity. I've used both android and ios phones...each has their cool stuff...each has their limitations. Just enjoy what you enjoy and let others be. If your phone is so important to you that you need to attack someone else for liking something you don't like...then you spend too much time on your damn phone. Look up, enjoy life, connect with real people...not emoticons, tweets, and hashtags. Sad.

[craigefcsmith]

I believe in buying a phone for what it can do and what it has to offer, not because of the name of the phone. I own a iPhone 4s but finally realised that samsung is much better. Gonna get the s6 Next year

[brandonthomas]

I just got my iPhone 5s about two months ago and now the price is gonna go down? Wow we're still paying off our phones. 😑

[maheshwaranparamasivan]

Lock buttons on the side is a problem, u accidentally hit it and the screen gets locked in between what you are doing compared to that on the top cos you always hold your phone by the sides. This is one reason I didn't continue with Samsung and Apple has disappointed me, will now actually wait to see the reviews after phone is on market and hear friends' comments before buying.

[arnoldocambronero]

How many times has your iPhone got frozen? Even though I'm not against Samsung or android phones, I think people can get an iPhone only because of the operating system that is way faster and better ... my thoughts

[onerdude]

I don't know if I should buy a Samsung Galaxy s5 or an iPhone 6. Any suggestions? I've used both softwares before. Help.

[dacawtz]

Only bad thing about this is the removal of the 32 GB model. Only 16 GB is a waste to me, and 64 is just a bit overkill.

[dned]

Fact: LG G3 currently beats all Apple and Samsung products.

Yes, its fact. Look it up.

[supaek]

I prefer the square edge! It now looks like every other phone now.
