3D touch is an answer to Android fan

Study below shows it vastly decreases performance. I think it's great people save money buying a 128GB Sandisk, but the quality is not something I would want in my high-end device, when I could have the quicker, and more reliable, internal memory.

OK sure, which is why you store things there that aren't constantly accessing the memory. Video, music, pictures and backups. There is no justification for the price tag of the extra space. Walling off SD cards (for everyone doing it, not just Apple) is purely a money grab. They are not trying to make your experience better.

Instead of clumsy solution when transporting your data via cables you would just put your card from yr phone to a computer or tablet or whatever.

To say plugging and unplugging a cable in your phone is tougher than taking the SD Card out, putting in to the reader, putting it into the computer, then taking it out and putting back in the phone just sounds lazy.

I get the point that the extra space is overpriced, because I think it only costs Apple like $50 for the memory, but it's still a more reliable option long-term, IMO. I'm definitely not paying $47 for a 128GB memory card that I'm going to keep a ton of information on. That's a cheap quality card, at that price.

We are not talking the chinese ripoffs here. It is extremely rare for a SanDisk Ultra class 10 to fail. Your opinion though, but I don't think it is justified.

3D touch ain't gonna stop Android fans from thinking iOS is too simplistic overall OP:

File system?
Themeing?
Ability to choose default app?
Ability to move an app wherever you want on the screen?
On screen widgets?
Removable battery?
MicroSD support?
The list goes on and on...

Don't mind them though, simply enjoy your purchase :)

You're gonna have to remove those two bud.

Plenty of 3rd party email clients that can attach files from the cloud. Dropbox, drive, etc.

You can do that with the stock mail app too in iOS 9: you can add as many attachments as you want from cloud providers including Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud Drive, etc, etc

Uh... it's a Sandisk microSD with amazing reviews on Amazon and it was on sale. As for a "ton of information" its not like I'm keeping sensitive documents on my phone that if my card goes bad my life is ruined. Music, movies, pictures, apps, etc (stuff that I can easily transfer to/from my computer and hard drives... for much cheaper than Apples rip-off memory prices).

Only if you want to go ultra low-end.

Every major flagship with the exception of the G4 lacks one, or even more likely, both, of those.

Yes going away sadly. This is a true case where copying Apple sucks. But I'm sticking with them while I can. I love having Titanium backup on SD for flashing.

Really? That's a long time coming. I use outlook right now.

For ages android fan boys always argue that the iPhone is way too simple for power users. Now with 3D touch I'd say this is a killer feature for power users. On the demo It makes multitasking such a joy. I really like how you can "peek" into a website link and switch between apps. Imagine with jailbreak and activator there are countless gestures you can do.

it is still way too simple compairing it with android. Anyway... i would have wanted to have ois in 6s rather than 3Dtouch. Im quite disappointed in the lack of ois nowadays. I dont think 3d is anyhow a killer feature but definitely the lack of ois in 6s is a "killer" feature and im, personaly, considering to skip iphone, 6s, again...

And how many average folks do you know who use Dropbox, Google drive, let alone know what the cloud is?

Attaching a file on android: it comes up with a list of recently used files, then categorises files on the device by file type, or you can just browse the filesystem.

Really not complicated.

The people I know don't store important documents on their phones. A good amount of friends and family use Dropbox.
Do all of them know a 3rd party email client has cloud support? No of course not, but most use their PCs for that matter not their phones. Really depends on the person.

Lets just say IOS missing a file system is not hurting apple one bit.

On a phone maybe not, but running a £800 ipad on it?

Yeah, just tap in the body of the message and select add attachment from the header that pops up. It then shows you the iCloud Drive browser so you can select a file from there if you use iCloud drive. If you use Dropbox, Drive, OneDrive, etc, select locations, choose your provider and select a file. It's as easy as using a file browser on a local file system IMO :)
 
iPhone or iOS is too far behind. they keep looking for these types of features rather than fixing the short comings of the software. how about a year with no near features but lots of fixes.. thats what we need, not a gimmick like 3d touch.

iPhone...a business phone running iOS that can't attach two different documents to an email.

laughable

If you are using Exchange, get the Outlook email app from Microsoft. It is amazingly capable and will attach as many files as you want. I'm using the default email client less and less. Though... when I upgrade to the 6s+ I'll have to forego peek and pop unless Microsoft adds it quickly.

Define better ?. Is iTunes a better way than drag and drop. Hell no..

Better = My experience, and the overall customer satisfaction, on iPhone vs Android.

Drag and drop? 2008 called and they want their functionality back.
