SD cards are really slow compared to Solid State. Also the Note doesn't even come close to a iPhone or iPad Mini, in Quality speed and quality of apps.
Your just spitting out rubbish.

Yes, exactly. I hate bigger screens so I ditched my iPhone to go to a Nexus 4 last year! /s
The only reason I switched back from Android is because the app quality is pretty terrible.
Your little north american or european markets do not count. Wake up! The biggest (and growing) smartphone market-Asia-sells more Android smartphones than iPhones (AFAIK).
Like you won't have a case on it? I'm sure you will say that you won't, but I see very few naked iphones.
I keep both of my iPads naked, but not the iPhone. it just takes too much abuse.
Looks like I'm gonna wait till the price goes down cause its not too wow enough. maybe even wait for the iPhone 6 plus plus or iPhone 6 plus s lol
Developed countries should not be compared to developing countries regarding high-end smartphone sales for obvious reasons. Last I saw the Galaxy S5 and other high ends weren't selling well in developing Asian countries either.
He's right.
Even my parents, who never upgrade to the latest iPhone when it comes out, texted me earlier today and said they are seriously thinking about it. They are not hardcore tech users at all and just have a 4S right now and that is even more than enough for them. So they were just going to upgrade to a 5S now with the price drop but after seeing the new phones they are seriously thinking it over now.

Anyone else super thrown off by this weird flower on a black background? I felt like they didn't really use the best image to show how big the display was. Too much negative space.
And Apple is making huge gains (double and triple digit percentage growth) in these markets. Remember they weren't on the major carriers until recently.
I think I was like most people right now when I saw the new design of the iPhone 6 when comparing to previous models. If you think about it, the 6 is a MUCH better design. The antenna bands take getting used to, but they clash WAY WAY less than the glass inserts on the 5s. The 6 flows much better all around, especially being curved like the old models. 5s is not very comfortable to hold without a case being completely rectangular with sharp edges, the 6 lays in hand naturally. Also take into account the fact that you dont have to worry about the rear glass breaking.
The big thing I am glad they ditched are the chrome edges all around the phone. The chrome edges were the first thing to get dinged up, even while in the case when hard particles would press up against it. I always hated that design aspect since the 3G came out. Iphone 6 remind me of a MBP, all aluminum design which is what Apple is known for.
Its hard to convince people but this is by far the best day to day design they've come up with. I do wish they would have slimmed the antenna bands, but its not that big of a problem when the phone is in the case. Same goes for the camera sticking out.

SD cards use solid state memory and are faster than the iDevice solid state memory (AFAIR).
A very fitting self-description.
Totally agree. This iPhone 6 combo will be the best selling phone release in history.
LOL, you're not going to break your camera. The protruding camera is still has a sapphire cover, and the metal around it will withstand anything that wouldn't break the whole phone.
I'm not a fan of the protruding cam either, but we need to keep things in perspective. Holding an iPhone in your hand, it's not going to protrude very much at all. It looks like a lot in photos because those are macro photos.
I'll admit that I like the design. What I don't like is the size, and unfortunately until I see it in person, it's a deal breaker. 5.5" is definitely out, but I'll have to see the 4.7". I could probably deal with the increased width, but the height will be annoying. The 5 series are already tall enough.
Of course the major deciding factor is that I'm in a contract until January, and I'd have to convince my dad to approve the upgrade.
Apple's design has gone flaccid. I wonder if they lost a lot of graphics artists after Jobs died.
In the case of the flower, without a reference as to the size of the flower, the viewer has no way to judge the size of the negative space. It does at least show the size difference between the 6 and the 6 Plus.

I never load apps on SD cards. I only place documents, movies and music on the card. You don't need fast and expensive storage for that purpose and it works no different then primary storage in terms of speed. And I wasn't telling iUsers to ditch their phones so if you're happy with iOS and the apps so be; Android is not for you and I wasn't trying to convince you. But for me it's a downgrade from a Note 3.
But if I was a dedicated iUser I would go with the iPhone 6 plus because it's the better of the two. I would be more upset that Apple is basically forcing heavy users to get the 64GB option. As a Android user I would not pay that. As a iPhone user I would have a tough time paying it. See the difference?
Please don't give them that much credit. People do not make informed conscious decisions when buying Android. They only buy it because they don't know any better. That is the truth. Its like picking out tires. Some people just have no idea, so whatever they get is what they get. One kind is good, another kind is terrible, but they just don't know any better.

Actually, no I feel it was a smart choice and the exact opposite. It does a better job of illustrating the space, rather than an edge to edge wallpaper.
Translation: " I hereby swear to apologise for any feature / aspect of the new iPhone by mocking others as not being financial worthy of the new iPhone .
Tsk tsk.... A little bit elitist there mate.
SD Cards used to be slow, but now you can buy 90 MB/s cards at Best Buy.
An SD card slot makes good functional sense. It enables memory expansion and provides another method for file transfer. There is no good excuse to leave one out. Same with the battery - a swappable battery is more functional, easier to replace, and more environmentally concious.
It's obvious why Apple avoids these two highly functional features.
Yup competition has been great. However, the phone market is now mature and the competition has nothing further to offer. Feature parity has been achieved. We can now watch Android destroy itself in a race to the bottom while Apple walks away with the $. The PC industry has undergone the same thing.
There will of course be competition and innovation in the future, just not in the phone space.
It's one of the things that couldn't possibly matter less to me.
You'd think that people with even a shred of Apple savvy know they wouldn't let it protrude if it had not tested beyond reasonable capacity to NOT break under any sort of normal use, including modest drops and repeatedly being set on table or thrown in a bag.
It's really weird, isn't it? I mean, how immature would one have to be to simply assume it to be a problem, instead of completely insignificant?
