This should make every iPhone user and anyone considering an iPhone fill with embarrassment. While an argument can be made about the practicalities of grafting a 4K display on a phone, the fact remains that it still has a better display than any iPhone while also managing to have not just mere better battery life but geometrically better battery life. And while I'm sure the iPhone will reach the realm of these specs eventually, Android users—like with larger displays, more megapixels, NFC, OLED, Notification and Control Center—will have the pleasure of enjoying these features long before Apple decides to invent them—just in time as Android users are moving on to the next big thing.
There is the old myth that Apple products are merely yesteryear technology packaged in a sleek aluminum body. I never believed that. But steadily, Apple is adopting the ideology that they can really cobble together older technology and skimp on RAM and GB in a somewhat nice aluminum body and stamp it with a shiny Apple logo and people will enthusiastically pay the outrageous retail price. It is not a surprise that the iPhone 6 notably has an improved Apple logo while the rest of the device's aesthetic looks like a Fisher Price toy.
With companies like Samsung and Sony, you get the cutting edge. With Apple, you get hyperbole.
Remember: If it's not an iPhone (16 GB), it's not an iPhone (16 GB).
