I have no idea what I'm talking about? You have proven with your post it is you who actually does not have a clue.
In terms of performance, the 6 is similar to the 5s, if I was talking about efficiency, I would have said, which I clearly didn't. You might think improving a cpu's efficiency is ground breaking, but if you heard of intel or amd, it is what they do very regularly, currently intel's i7 is around 22 nm, it was a lot bigger before. And if you need further evidence, normally Apple themselves talk about how much faster their cpu is, this time they only focused on the efficiency. So your clearly wrong on that point.
Reducing the power consumption of a CPU is not something trivial you can just invent in your kitchen when you're bored one night.
Intel spent millions of dollars in their latest Haswell update to improve efficiency. Do you know how much of a gain they got with their top of the line i7 line in terms of power consumption?
1.3%
Apple DOUBLED the efficiency of the CPU. That is not a trivial matter. It would be one thing if it was 10% more efficient or 15%, that was to be expected. If you look at it another way, Apple could had doubled the performance with the same power consumption or doubled the efficiency with the same performance. Apple chose battery life because the processor is more than capable of running anything in today's market.
There's no NEED to make it faster at this point, but there is a huge need to make the battery last longer when going with a larger more power hungry screen.
I wasnt talking about android when I talked about the 1gb of ram. For your information the VERY COMMON tab reloading issue has been directly attributed to memory limitation. Who said anything about android here? The problem existed before the iphone 6, iphone 6 has 1gb of ram, the problem continues, in fact the problem has gotten worse because there is more data to store because of the increased resolutions. But somehow you seem to be worshipping Apple and agree with everything they do, or are you one of these people who believe in magic and believe things like extra ram can be 'installed' through software. Please, again you failed to acknowledge my point, and again you are simply, wrong.
I went to school for engineering originally. It's obvious to me from an engineering standpoint why Apple made the choices they did. And it is clear that they are doing groundbreaking and very difficult work.
You are unhappy because you think that Apple needs to make a phone just for you and ignore the other billion customers it has.
Why don't you make your own phone? Oh wait. You can't. Besides that once apps start being written for 2GB it's going to seriously degrade the experience of users of the iPhone 5/5S. Apple has always been about backwards compatibility much more so than most manufacturers. That's why they jumped the gun on 64bit processors, so in 4-5 years your iPhone 5S will still run modern 64 bit apps. Even though there was absolutely no benefit to going 64bit this early. Keeping the ram under 1GB means that iPhone 5S in India and China in 3 years that sell for $350 off contract will have a good user experience. That's part of the reason why Android is so horrible with ram. Because developers know that flagship phones have 3GB or more of ram, they write programs for the flagships, which run like junk on anything that's entry level.
I'm sure that Apple will do 2GB with the next refresh, but if I was designing the iPhone 6, I would have given it 1GB of ram as well, and so should any rational engineer.
And lol your asking me if I have done any coding, firstly I am a mathematics student so I'm not a computer programmer, but its safe to say I will completely destroy you on this point. I made my first program using visual basic when I was 13, the age I built my first computer. I am fluent in visual basic (good language to start programming, the language is almost like english), c++, a bit of java and of course html the baby useless language. I probably know more about programming than you, I have written many procedures and functions dealing with all kind of parameters, and designed small level programs.
So your saying I dont understand? If your trying to tell me that every bit of ios8 was re written, all 15 million lines of it, then my friend I am very sorry, the argument ends here because clearly it is you who does not understand. I dont really have the time to explain but one of the reasons why it is so buggy is because how similar it is to ios7. Please, dont try to insult my intelligence again, you will end up looking the worse out of the two of us, that I can guarantee.
So you are telling me that you have never made any math or programing errors in your entire life, and that it is normal for complex software to be completely free of minor errors all the time?
Well then I guess both Apple and Microsoft need to discontinue software updates. Oh wait, except even 15 years after the release of Windows XP they are still patching major bugs.
The fact is that programing something like iOS is very prone to errors and the amount of errors we have experienced with it is far below the norm. If you disagree then I'm sure that every math and programing problem you have ever done in your life has never once had any errors, or required any revisions. In which case I will forward your resume and perfect test scores to Tim Cook personally and he will put you in charge of programing iOS 9.
And you are saying the bending issue does not exist when Apple themselves have admitted it does? Listen to yourself, there are numerous examples of the bending issue, even users on this very forum, your saying its all fake? Wake up and smell the you know what.
And I dont know if you will understand this or not. Forget what materials the phone is made of, the 6 plus does bend as proven by users on this forum and Apple themselves. Whilst the competitor's phones do not, again forget what materials, by competitor you can even include iphone 6 and 5s.
I personally dont think the unbox therapy video is fake like people on these forums are suggesting, however EVEN if it is, you still DONT explain Apple admitting this, and the many many many other reports of the bending, which if you havent noticed seems to be going up everyday.
Apple did not admit that there is a "bending issue". They said that out of 10 million phones shipped, only 9 were bent by accident. Which debunks the idea that this is a realistic problem that affects any reasonable amount of people. The bending is not an "issue", because the definition of the word issue requires something have significance, which this does not.
There was an antenna issue with the 4 (I had a problem with it myself and know a few people that did), there was a scratching issue with the 5 (I had the problem with it myself and know many people that did), there is no bending issue with the 6 plus, because you can't point to more than a very small number of people who have had it happen by accident.
And the screen, is also old technology. Competitor devices are already way in
excess of 1080p - are you living in 2012 or something?. I dont know if you know but Apple originally were going to put a 1242x2208 resolution, but they decided to cut costs and go for 1080p which means it is being downsampled. Of course you dont want to hear that because you are blind, not in the literal sense.

Competitors with higher resolution displays do not have the same saturation, brightness, black levels, viewing angle, color accuracy etc. It is trivial to make a display of any reasonable resolution. It is not trivial to make a display that is both of high resolution and has all of the other important characteristics.
For example if you take all of the 4k display offerings, each has huge downsides because nobody has figured out how to make a high quality 4k monitor. Likewise nobody has figured out how to make a high quality 1080p display for a phone, until Apple did.
The 1080p isn't to save costs by the way, it's to increase brightness, and has the added benefit of being standardized.
