At first I was like "omg double tap for split screen multi tasking" then I was like "ohh never mind, it's apple"

I can't believe how many people hate APPLE products but can't wait to watch the keynote every year. Speaking from real experiences: I bought the Note 3 last year after having the iPhone 5. I was extremely blown away by the specs and size of the Note 3, but after a few weeks, I noticed that the Note 3 does not run as polished and smooth as the iPhone. Does the Note 3 have better specs and camera? Yes.

Does that matter completely? No.
I plan on buying the iPhone 6+ because I am happy that they increased their phone size and I know that I can always count on the intuitiveness of the iOS software. Even though my note 3 had a 16 mp camera, it did not do well in dark situations and even though the note 3 has 3gigs of memory, my phone often lagged when texting and switching between apps.

Although I am disappointed that the iPhone does not have up to date specs, I can guarentee that the phone will run smoother and perform better than any phone on the market. I loved that the Note 3 had so may features, but really, how many of you used the stylus consistently, used your palm hovering to switch between songs, and used 1/2 of the apps on the phone?

Wow, landscape mode. The future is here folks.

Larger iPhones and an awesome Apple Watch. RIP Samsung, your run is over

[whoisdv]

we can already see that doubletapping on the homebutten failing...

[HPisAWESOME]

Wow, so many haters in the comment section. Calm down guys. Honestly, I don't understand why the android fanboys are ranting here. If you don't like he iPhone go away and let us enjoy it in peace. I for one, think it's awesome. I like Apple's software way better than Android's. Sue me, right?

New Moto X is still the phone of the year.

As an UNBIASED, realistic Android user (currently using a Samsung), these phones are gorgeous. Buttery smooth and lightning fast, with no bloatware, and secure? I'm drooling.

Its amazing how android fans find their way to Apple videos so often, I have galaxy s5, fell in love with the screen size but I'm coming home to 5.5inches with Apple iphone 6 plus

[rrrrrrwwwwwwww]

4.7 is the g spot when it comes to size.

The Verge about Galaxy Note 3: 
"It’s still absurdly big, however, and it’s not a phone that you can use with one hand."

The Verge about iPhone 6+ (wich is Bigger then Note 3):
"It feels pretty massive. But it doesn't feel so massive that it's completely unwieldy... It's not too bad to hold in one hand."

Wow, that double tap feature worked a treat

[AlexPrime]

we in the world of Android have had large screens for years :)

Loving the new iPhones, after I abandoned Apple for a couple of years and went for Window Phones, which I still love.

4 million preorders in one day is impressive coming from a note 3 user just saying!

[DashwoodFifa]

I like how iPhone 6 Plus is just getting a 1080p display while I'm using my awesome HTC One m8 that already had a 1080p display and that phone is faster and smoother than the iPhone, and has the best speakers in any smartphone right now, and other great features. Apple really needs to improve.

They brought back the old style I like it, those volume buttons are 1, 000x better

[qiarnab]

The verge has been making fun of android big screens for ages but now apple has a big screen I bet they will change their tune...

[zeonmx]

Uglier design compared to iphone 5.

And they try to imitate the bigger size trend that Android has been pumping out.

, "like a big giant Android phone, " wow, wholly shat. Did he just say that?
