I'm nowhere near being a iOS guy but i can agree with the review. Being unbiased also means giving credit where credit is due. Good job!

[emmanuelhidalgo-wohlleben]

This review is fantastic. Personally, I have a nexus 5, but I've always understood why consumers love the iPhone. It's simple, reliable, and well built. Android and IOS both have their pros and cons, but it just frustrates me when people from both sides refuse to have an opened mind.

Hey folks. We're keeping a close eye on iPhone threads, so while you're free to disagree with our conclusions or other viewers, keep your tone civil and your arguments focused on the issues. Be advised that we're swinging the ban hammer liberally (and with no warning) on any and all abusive commenters. ^M

Michael you are hands down the best tech reviewer in YouTube. This was a great review, completely unbiased. I cannot wait for the Note 4 review, hopefully done by you or Taylor.

[bakuganrule]

Am I the only one the actually LIKES the antenna lines?

[ericenright]

You can slide anywhere in the camera to switch modes it doesn't have to be right on the words! just swipe over left or right in the middle of the camera like you would on the home screen and it goes to the next mode

just nailed it (yet again) with a Phenomenal review of the iPhone 6! The most informative, factual, and honest feeling review I've watched/read yet of Apples 2014 flagship. It was an absolute pleasure to have watched it! I've said it in the past and I'll say it again, possesses some of the finest journalistic qualities that you could hope to find on YouTube! Plus one, thumbs up, and all those great things, lol!

Haha when you originally uploaded this with a different title there was a lot of dislikes. It's amazing what a change in title can do, shows most Apple haters barely even watch or read the reviews.

[cpthornman]

I'm sorry but I have issue with saying its forgivable that they are having so many issues with iOS8. Any other OEM would be getting slaughtered. Apple is always touting how stable their stuff is (just as buggy as everything else) but they get a pass cause it's Apple. Sorry but that is bullshit.

[mistamop]

Felt the iPhone 6 the other day at Best Buy. Damn it really feels amazing and the screen is also very nice.

[xapachi]

I own an Iphone 6 and its my first apple phone. The only other apple product I had was the ipod 4 lol. But I gotta say the Iphone 6 isnt that bad and the battery life is alright for me, the battery lasts all day for me. I get at least an hour of usage before my iphone goes to 99% from 100. And I got this iphone around somewhere in July 2015.

[RyanDeClue]

This is probably the best phone review I've ever seen. Concise, fair, informative, descriptive, even provocative.
Class act, sir.

[trillionare]

Probably the best and accurate review of iPhone 6. Agree on every and each statement. I can't stand spec nerds with their usual claims on useless ram numbers.

[chrissorreda]

I don't get why people HATE the antennas. The moment I saw it, i ACCEPTED it. C'mon guys, stop over critique-ing everything.

[ScottChambers]

Silly Michael you can swipe anywhere in the camera app to change modes :) 

[cmiles]

Its always refreshing to see a review that doesn't bust its wad over the iPhones camera. People act like its the best thing since multi touch, and I've never really found it all that different than most other major flagships.

[MichaelKhaimraj]

Coming from an Android user who is about to switch to Apple, I can say using an iPhone was a better experience for me. Personally I see Android as an OS for people who want to be flashy and always be unique. iOS is an OS for people who have gotten past that need to completely customize their phone and want a handset that delivers consistent performance. I see Android as a personal phone OS and iOS as a business-oriented OS (though many may disagree). If I was a traveling business man who needed two handsets, I'd have an Android (Most likely a Galaxy model) as my personal phone and an iPhone as my business phone. Apple has always been good at software optimization so to me it's more reliable in a business situation. But to say one OS is better than the other is complete nonsense. They both have their perks and their disadvantages. As always if the two would merge we could possibly see a near perfect OS. Something with Androids customizability and Apples fluidity and precision.

[FunnyBunneeez]

This is one of the best reviews I've seen. It is incredibly unbiased and well detailed. As both an android and an iOS user, I can say that this is a good phone. I never understand why people bash the opposing company. Both have their pros and cons and it ultimately comes down to user preference. If you prefer iOS, that's fine but there is no sense bashing android and vice versa. I'm currently using Android but I had iOS devices for the longest while. They both perform superbly and do what most people want in a phone.

[ProGamersVideosHD]

Im upgrading from the 4s, Can someone tell me how big an upgrade it is?

[Krysstophe]

I own a OnePlus One and I really enjoy iOS on my iPad, especially when jailbroken. It's also so easy to do now and there's no real risk. I am definitely considering a 6 Plus. Why can't we all just get along and appreciate that both Android and iOS are brilliant, and both Android phones and iPhones both contribute to making each other better each year :)
