I love my 6er but I have been reading numerous articles and for some reason, a lot of commenters have been saying "welcome to 2012" "this is 2012 tech bruh". I believe even Samsung took a jab at Apple with their new Note 4 not too long ago as well. Can someone explain to me if this is really 2012 tech? Or it just jealousy and envy? (Or a little bit of both) Why would they behave that way? I like both platforms but obviously you guys know how I'm rocking #
Galaxy note 4 sold less than 5 million 1st month while opening week alone the 6 series was double that amount.
20 nm 64 bit apple A8> 28nm Snapdragon 805
Cameras are both top notch and cream of the crop , no real , clear winner there
Touch ID is king fingerprint scanner sensor and the Note 4 swipe with your thumb BS is not as good
note 4 has the best OLED display ever while the 6 Plus has the best LCD smartphone display ever, both are top notch, 6 has a little less resolution but still good
Funny thing is that 6 and 6 Plus uses actually newer technology and more cutting edge hardware, a SoC on a 20nm manufacturing node custom designed by Apple
In house own ISP now too
Both are great devices though but people who say it uses "2012 technology" and "lol wow only 1.4 ghz dual core my Galaxy S3 is faster with 1.5 ghz dual core" just have no understanding at all on all this
Fanboys gonna be fanboys , but the 6 Plus and 6 are actually one of the best if not the best peforming smartphone right now on both the CPU/GPU side

Yes and no. There were phones that had similar tech specs back then as the iPhone 6 has now. But it's not always about the tech inside the phone it's how it's utilized. Certain phones from back then and even now don't fully utilize the tech inside the phones.
Totally wrong , 6 and 6 Plus completly utterly destroys anything from 2012, the SoC (which houses the CPU/GPU/ISP/RAM) basically everything, is quite different and not similiar to tech specs back then
ARMv8 custom design is drastically different then what has been used in the past
What people dont understand at all is that you want faster better single core performance and better IPC always, espcially on mobile devices, this is beyond crucial and key for mobile developing (for obvious reasons; these devices using batteries and thermal constraints etc etc)
Same thing with why a Intel quad core is noticeably faster then a AMD quad core thats clocked alot higher speeds then the Intel quad core
Its because Intels single core performance and architecture design is SUPERIOR, very little people understand what even makes a CPU design, single core performance and IPC is beyond important and crucial and key for mobile , why would someone want to deal with more weaker single cores and code for all them and try to get parrlellization and efficiency on all cores properly when it is a headache already developing software and games for a bunch of cores on desktop(and multicore processors started coming out 8 years ago)
Throwing more cores at it does not increase performance for situations and problems automatically linearly
6 way wide superscaler 1.4 ghz Enhanced cyclone cores on ARM's latest architecture design (ARMv8 or 64 bit)
OP I suggest you look up on the A7/A8 details , it is more comparable to Intel Haswell processors then it is to what Qualcomm offers actually in terms of performance
