Let's see Samsung run an ad about how their frame rate is 40% slower than the 6 Plus...

Android fans boys not gonna like these numbers at all!
With my brand spanking new iPhone 5, just out of the box and running iOS6, I managed 9 hours of WiFi web browsing. Immediately upon installing iOS7 my WiFi web browsing plummeted to 6 hours max. So I'm sorry, these battery life figures are pure BS. The i5 running iOS6 didn't even manage these figures in the real world.
----------
They're make believe so I doubt they'll worry. My partner's HTC One M8 positively slays her old 5S when it comes to battery life, and with the same usage patterns. Neither my i5 nor her 5S *ever* returned the battery life figures quoted by Apple, or these benchmark tests.
Today is my first real day using it. I Left my apt at 7 30 am and have been using it moderately at work. It's at 85 % almost 7 hours later.
The battery is impressive. I may even be able to go 2 full days on light usage without a charge
No. Android has horrible standby battery among other things.
Not lying just to lie.
Well, it would have no impact on these benchmarks because RAM doesn't impact processing speed. As long as your application isn't using more RAM than what's available (and thus caching to disk, something I don't think iOS does(?)) the speed it runs at will be identical even if you add 5 TB of RAM.
I mean, I would like more RAM too (for reducing the occurrence of browser tab refreshes which are already an annoyance for me on the 5s), but people seem to think RAM is connected to processing speed for some reason.
Apple = best 'official' stats.
2014 Premium Android Devices = best 'actual' stats.
Why? First people asked why about the big screens, Apple finally did it and now it's about any random stuff like QHD, I guess you will feel the same way when the iPhone sports a QHD display?
The LG G3 handles very well with a QHD in the battery department.
Its more why not mate?
NO ONE* CAN SEE QHD difference on a tiny screen,
let alone very much on a 65" Plasma/LED
*Superman can see the difference

Needs more RAM!
Why? Someone give me a real world reason why please.
I dont get why Apple is so obsessed with thinness vs. battery life. I would gladly take a phone thats double the thickness for double the battery life. I havent heard of anybody complaining that iPhones were fat in years. I guess the positive take away is that battery cases should provide double the life yet thinner than a comparable set up from last year and voice activated Siri would technically work on the go. Got to see how much power draw it takes but we should be able to determine that with external battery packs.
Exactly! Not a RAM problem.

Battery size is not just about thin, it is also about weight. Batteries are heavy.
Not really if you look at the size of that battery: 4060mAh on a 6.1" screen at pathetic resolution 720p.
When Apple win benchmarks it's all about the technical horsepower. When they lose, it's 'the technology is still developing' or we designed it like that.
Remember these cliches - no one wants a 7 inch tablet.... no one wants a large phone ....
That's what so annoying about Apple fanatics. When they win in a few benchmarks the name calling comes in thick and fast, and they get defensive when you point out how other platforms have had that technology for years or state that Apple are no longer innovating, they're following. You could almost say it's childish behaviour... almost.
If that's almost "childish behaviour", then what would you call YOUR post?
I guess I'm just not a power user. I'm not on it all the time. Others are. YMMV. My point was that I was really surprised how much longer the charge lasts (for me, anyway) if I turn the brightness down. That is even more true on my iPad3.
Having said all this, I can burn though a fresh charge in an evening if I let Angry Birds take me prisoner.
Everything I've read says that Anandtech's reviews are more reliable due to the way they run the tests to account for variables like screen brightness, etc.
But isn't the "real life usage" that is reviewed in that article a script to play out what is supposedly real life usage?
----------
I had completely forgot about the optimization for the OS. I think you made a great point on that. But i guess time will tell when Benchmarks will start to take advantage of that.
If that's almost "childish behaviour", then what would you call YOUR post?
Stating the obvious with reasoning
Thats another lie. Because you think the M8 is android. Not only does the M8 have better battery life than the i6 but it has better standby. So does the G3. Phonearena has already published their battery test and the iphone 6 lags behind the M8 and most android devices, even the moto x 2014 that has bad battery life according to android standards. Wait till gsmarena publishes the iphone 6 battery test, youll see that it is clearly not as good as the M8.
Performance seems better than my iPad Air so far based on the games I've tried. The problem is I don't have any games that have been updated to run at the 6 Plus resolution yet (all of them that I've tried are obviously being scaled up). It will be hard to tell for sure until the games are updated for the new resolution.
My iPhone 5 battery was terrible too.
But, it was eligable for the battery replacement program, and since getting a new battery installed 3 weeks ago, I am VERY happy. Almost to the point where I don't want to upgrade to an iPhone 6. Almost.
