iOS 8 is fine on my iPhone 5 but, but it seems a little bit slower, especially Safari. I never had any Safari reloading tab on my iPhone 5 on iOS 7, but now opening 3 tabs or even switch from normal to private and back to normal will make all my tabs reload.
Got a tip for us?

How do u explain many users complaining about lag on the 6 plus? Nice try buddy, so much for your fastest and most fluid phone ever.
No, I outlined precisely why the HTC One looks like the iPhone: Chamfered edges, rounded rectangle, bead-blasted aluminum. It looks much more like an iPhone than the iPhone looked like any phones before it. And the iPhone 6 looks like a really thin iPhone Original sans the chrome bezel, or perhaps the iPad Mini. But let's just forget about all of history because doing so conveniently fits your anti-Apple agenda. The antenna band on the HTC One is different and actually looks better. Outside of that there is no similarity whatsoever aside from every similarity the HTC One has with former Apple devices. How could you argue otherwise? These companies copy line item after line item, and then Apple does something that somewhat copies the appearance of ONE particular part of the phone, and suddenly they're the bad guys. There is incredible logic on display in this thread.
Oakley Deringer Titanium:
Yeah, but everyone has their blinders on. That is clearly the only way to introduce a product and how dare you say otherwise!
It's not just the number 6. Don't look at just any one bullet point and let that stand on it's own. It's the cumulative effect of all the copying that, when put together, is completely ridiculous. What's sad is that Google isn't even the worst offender.
The only reason I'd ever consider an Android device over an iOS device is a lower price. Take that advantage away and there is zero incentive to buy.
Just my personal opinion obviously.

It is funny that competitor articles whip the fan base here into such a frenzy. Google and Samsung articles are the most commented articles that I ever see posted here. Yet everyone whines about them, they obviously pay well or MacRumors wouldn't post them.
Thank you. One useful post in this entire thread. (don't care if it is on topic)
This has always been possible. But fast charging of lithium batteries is (1) more dangerous and (2) lowers battery life dramatically. So, it is not a choice most companies make in their products. The industry has been working on these 2 points almost to the exclusion of all else for several years. (which is probably why we've seen stagnation in battery tech) It will be interesting to see what Google has thrown in here, if the standard 500 cycle lithium cell life has become 300 in this phone, or if they actually have an innovation.
Where are all the specs people talking about for android then? I haven't seen Samsung or HTC or moto talk about specs in any of there commercials.
Only during there key notes but I guess only apple can get away with it right?
493 ppi in pentile.. Well, its barely equivalent of 400 ppi in a lcd.
Specs are brutally useless in real life (not even beating A8's single core performance), not to mention throttling which seemingly no one in the Android space want to ackowledge because they'd get creamed otherwise. So, hey!
3GB of ram because Android needs it to equal IOS on 1G. That's fact Jack.
So, basically, you got a bigger screen. Bravo for that. Otherwise, no so fantastic.
Uh...what? There is no "low-end iPhone 6". They all have the same internals, minus memory and screen. The processor is most likely faster in the Nexus 6 (I haven't seen many benchmarks on the 805, but it is an absolute screamer). The resolution is higher (PPI). The memory is more (but that's because it has to be).
So what is low-end about this phone?
They click bait (on the internet) and troll baits; trolls then whip fans (this is an Apple fan site) in a frenzy, which makes more clicks and more page view. So, yes, totally mercenary of the site owners to post this here. No surprise really that it would inflame; these posts are made to inflame.

Ohhh, many, how many then. Please give a number and sources. Come on. Put some meat on your statement... Or, did you just pull this out of thin air.

Not if you look at actual use... And certainly sales.
The Nexus 6 isn't much bigger due to the tiny bezels vs the 6 Plus rather big bezels.
Side-by-side the Nexus 6 actually looks around the same size.
You really need to learn how language works. Saying "low-end iPhone 6" in the context of iPhones means the lowest model iPhone 6, as compared to other iPhones. So, yes, the 16GB iPhone 6 is the Low-End iPhone 6.
The A8 has the fastest single cote performance (still), the Nexus GPU is too slow for its screen. The resolution 493 Pentile, so probably equivalent ot 380-390 LCD (the Iphone screen is good in several other ways than resolution too).
The new Nexus devices are not named in order. They are named for their screen size. The Nexus 6 has a 6" screen. The previous Nexus 5 had a 5" screen.
The previous tablet was a Nexus 7. This new one is the Nexus 9.
However, Samsung's Galaxy S phones are named in order.
Right....google is ran by stupid people? Your joking right? The only company in the world that can potentially rival apple, in value, based on how you calculate net worth.
Google is a major force in the tech industry...and the reason for that is partially because of the bright people who run it.

Eh....I doubt you are correct.
Andantech released a review on the galaxy note 4, same resolution screen and gpu, and the gaming performance was good.
That being said, the nexus 6 is not 64 bit...which is disappointing, considering android L is toting 64 bit features.
Anyway..i love my 6+.
The nexus 4 was 4.7"
The nexus 5 was actually 4.95
I think regardless of screen size, the nexus phone of late would have been the 6
Dude the CPU side of Tegra K1 64 bit chip is actually extremely powerful and shares very similiar architecture with the A7/A8 by going very wide, the CPU is very beast and is a little faster then the A8's in our new iPhones, but the K1 is so far only found in tablets, so not a direct competitor there, As for the K1 GPU throttling, it does throttle after a while and suffers performance degradation. I wonder if the Nexus 9 design improves on that with better heat dissapation and such.
