Automatically having each kid log into their own Netflix profile would be a great use of Touch ID on an iPad, as another example.

Google wouldn't be the company it is today if what you said were true. That's why they are running it and you are not.
Nobody knows apart from Ive, I guess.
Absolutely nonsense to have speakers on the bottom of a Media consumption device. Here in Apple Land we have huge bezels, which are practically just wasteland to look symmetrical and 'pretty'
I use my iPad a lot. I would love to have front facing speakers. Design wise, as others have pointed it out, it should be common sense.
Apple should just by Plex and make that their default fronted. Problem solved.
This phone has amazing stats: wireless charging, phone works on any carrier, turbo charging, beautiful design, small bezel, front facing speakers. The problem is the battery life on android phones are just not up to par with apple. Also, the phone is enormous.
No one is challenging Apple? What a bizzare thing to say in a thread about the Nexus 6 and 9. (huh, huh heh heh, huh heh, you said "69").
Obviously Roku copied Apple.
Yup. For some reason, all the psychics that are employed in the tech industry only seem to look at what Apple's doing in the next couple of years, rather than what'll happen 50 years in the future.
It's kinda weird, you'd think psychics of all people would have a bit of foresight about this stuff.
Nexus 6 is about the same size as the 6+, so whatever.
But I agree about battery life. Android Lollipop may improve it but I wouldn't assume anything.
Nexus line was famous for being a kick ass priced device for the specs. For example, nexus 4 and 5 competed with galaxy s3 and s4, but only costing $350 rather than $650.
For nexus fans , price is a shock. I guess google realized that they were getting beat in their own game with Chinese up and comers, such as one plus one
All true, but the phone is still not a joke. It has not lived up my my price point but that does not mean is can not represent better value for others.
But is a there a smartphone on the market with the technology? Not to my knowledge, and certainly not Apple.
I bet if apple came out with a 6 hour battery life with 15 min charge you'd be a tad more excited.

ya they should have introduced a new 5" device but maybe they plan on just keeping the nexus 5 going a while longer. Spec wise it's still pretty solid in todays market at its price.
I hope lollipop is released for the Nexus 5 soon. I'm trying to decide if I want to jump back to the iPhone but want to try out lollipop first before making that move.
Because within a month? Everyone will own what Apple already announced. A month before makes more sense.
It is also a lot wider
Just looked at the actual dimensions
iPhone 6 plus
Dimensions 158.1 x 77.8 x 7.1 mm (6.22 x 3.06 x 0.28 in)
Nexus 6
Dimensions 159.3 x 83 x 10.1 mm (6.27 x 3.27 x 0.40 in)
So a negligible difference in height, nexus 6 is quite a bit wider and a lot thicker.
Note sure how you can you nexus 6 has the same footprint

It's why I won't have a Nexus 6. I'll go snag the iPhone I think at that price. If it were the $350 of the Nexus 5 I have, we'd be talking then.
