No dicky water resistance flaps
What the heck is a dicky water resistance flap?
These fragile, crappy things:
You know the flaps that cover MicroSD slots? The things you dare not open even once, for fear of snapping them off? Well welcome to water resistance flaps. They are the same fragile things held onto the phone by a thin piece of plastic, and now you have to remove one every single time you charge your phone.
Qi Wireless Charging.You know the flaps that cover MicroSD slots? The things you dare not open even once, for fear of snapping them off? Well welcome to water resistance flaps. They are the same fragile things held onto the phone by a thin piece of plastic, and now you have to prise one open with your fingernail every single time you charge your phone.
There are Qi car charging docks and Qi USB charging mats.In the car? At work?

Really all I want is the bigger screen.
I'm considering an Android phone as well, but all the Android phones this year seem to have a gaping hole somewhere. The S5 is... the S5. It's great hardware marred by Touch Wiz and a bunch of bloatware. The HTC M8 is uniformly great until you take a photo and find out the camera is complete junk. Google's Nexus 5 is a great little device with the best version of Android, but the battery life is atrocious. And then you've got Sony's bulky monstrosity that's only available on specific carriers.
I don't know what it is but these stupid companies just can't make a single great Android phone with everything you'd want. Apple still leads the way in giving the consumer "everything" IMO.
When I can find an Android phone that's built as well as an iPhone and has a stock variant of the OS available, I may make the switch one day. But for now... I'll buy the iPhone 6 just because it's got the most of the best in one place.

basically this year ago i wouldn't have considered getting an iPhone, but the android flagships this year leave a lot to be desired.
I was considering the lg g3, but the complaints about it overheating are really worrisome seems like they should have just used a 1080p screen for the 801 and then saved the 1440p for 805.

It takes FAR longer to charge, you can't use your device whilst it's charging, and more expense is needed to purchase the charging unit. Plus as has already been mentioned, it's impractical for car use.
