Measure color accuracy, measure brightness, measure battery life in different scenarios, measure performance, measure network speeds. Compare it with S6 or S6 Edge+. Not that hard.
Now this is just ridiculous. Come on. We're not talking about some revolutionary lightning fast phone here.
Nah. This isn't the first meh review she's done of an Apple product. And if Apple played that game The Verge wouldn't be reviewing any Apple products after their silly Watch production, er, review that involved like 30 people.
As I said, those "propaganda" (which in fact are merely, superficial, user level reviews, what most people actually care about), mostly get the same conclusions as these more in depth reviews usually.
The use of the word propaganda shows you own bias than the reviews supposed bias.
You'll have to wait for Anandtech's or Arstechnica's reviews for that. They always take a while longer for that exact reason. But if the last 5 years are anything to go by, Apple doesn't drop the ball on anything usually and is pretty much near or at the top for most metrics (GPU benchmarks, CPU benchmarks, Display quality, Photo quality, Sound quality, etc.). I wouldn't worry about that.
That may be the case for you, but for many people it will not. For instance I leave my phone on vibrate always. With the Apple Watch, this is even easier to do. It's inevitable that as these devices continue to simplify their design and get thinner, they would need to remove more physical controls that not only wouldn't be possible to physically fit, but would also free-up internal space for battery improvements as they squeeze out every available millimeter. I seriously doubt in several years that many phones will have many external buttons or controls. And the precedent is already set with the thinner iPads.
It's propaganda because obviously these journalists don't have full freedom of speech. Literally not a single review out there compares the camera with a different brand phone. I'm sure there are more restrictions on what these journalists were allowed to say and what not in exchange for early access to a review model.
No freedom of speech = propaganda to me. Ofcourse, I could be wrong and it could all be a coincedence, but I don't think so.
What about the display quality? The alleged reason why Apple only allowed this moving fish-background thingie for the 6S is that older (traditional) iPhone displays don't have the necessary deep blacks for this so the whole picture would look like washed-out and disillusioning. (or at least that's what I read somewhere in an interview with Jony Ive)
That was delightful - I'd like to have her come over and read aloud all the reviews
Side note: did the RG not look as pink in that video? Assuming that's just the lighting or something (and not pre-production units).
Mehh,I'll pass,I'm just already super bored with the chasis design of my iPhone 6..never liked it,and now it's painfully boring,the seeing likes of the gorgeous Gold Galaxy S6 Edge in people's hands..
really don't feel any enjoyment in buying something that looks the same,with just some performance improvements inside.
They should impress me and make a better looking phone with iPhone 7..also please ditch this pale boring metallic colors.they all suck except maybe space gray.

Blackberry Storm 2 was better than the Storm. The clickable screen on the Storm 2 was made into four separate areas instead of one plate. That allowed you to be more precise.
A better example would probably be the Note series. For some, the Note 4 is better than the Note 5 because of the removable battery and Microsd.
''obviously these journalists don't have full freedom of speech'' Yeah, obviously! You know things!
By the way, the Mashable review compares the camera to the Samsung's Edge.
I'm sure Anandtech will give you your answer. But frankly, the blacks on the 6 and 6 Plus were excellent for an IPS display. I feel 99% of users would not notice a difference.
I'm thinking the same thing and which is why I said in another reply that he will receive major flak for this.
That's like saying pinch to zoom and reverse pinch is not useful when most cell phones with touch screens, tablets, computer and even car infotainment use the feature today. Someone needs to ask him about his view on pinch to zoom and if he finds it useful or just cool.
I live in the US, but when I visited Windsor this past March, Apple Pay worked at so many more places than it does back home. I love that your restaurants bring the card reader to the table and don't walk away with your card like they do here.
So you're planning on waiting for the 7. But what exactly in the 7 will be the reason for you to upgrade? Why the 7 and not the 6s?
No tech reviewer is going to risk their credibility just to get access to a product early. Sure they'll abide by stuff like NDAs but if Apple was putting restrictions on what journalists could say in reviews there's no way that wouldn't get found out and it would be a huge scandal.
You can't lecture people about bad video compression and then go on to cite Youtube lol
Well, the 7 will had a new design that's for sure. Maybe they'll cut the weight. Maybe they'll have higher resolution displays. Maybe they'll make you toast. Who knows.
