Let's face the fact: If one must spend such amount of money on a phone, it should live up to the exhorbitant rip-off. This is a time for Samsung to step in and rescue some iPhone fans from their blindness. I use apple products too, and I use Samsung too, I am not emotional about these stuff, but at least, if when we say G63AMG and Range Rover are high end products, they live to the name. Not some crappy bending phone with inflated price. I will still buy it though, status symbol for me and nothing more. It cant even function like a Samsung Note 3.

CityNG: The Apple iPhone6 and iPhone6+ are the best smartphone on the market today.

Apple does not release inferior hardware and one of the reasons that I am are staunch customer is that they control both hardware and software of all of their products.

I am typing this on an MacBook Air with my iPhone 5s and iPod plugged in. My server is a iMac and I have at least 3 iPods in stalled in various cars

It's easy for anyone to attempt ridiculing a manufacturer. How sensible is it to stick a high dollar smartphone in your back pocket and then sit on it?

For those that don't like iPhone or Apple products, the good thing is that there are various other products out there to purchase.

For those on the fence, it is my honest opinion that you should give it a try. You can always sell it and unlike other phones, no other phone holds it's value like an iPhone.

For fellow iFanboys, I have held both phones in my hands (already sold 3 I had slated for my Nigeria store over here) and they are a thing of beauty.

I can't wait for the iWatch to be released.

It's a good time to be a technical fan.
this is pretty much all u wanted to say. u could have said this alone and spared us the remaining piece of crap

You took the words right out of my mouth... most iPhone users have been blinded by the hype that comes with using one. It really cannot do what a Samsung Note 3 can do and shouldn't even be compared.

I hope y'all didn't expect Apple to take the blame on this #EpicFail; just like they did in the iCloud hack saga. Only stupid and deluded people would go for the i6 without taking time to compare the specs with the previous ones to know what new iPhone has to offer- which in actual sense is "nothing". Since the death of Steve Jobs, iPhone has been selling based on brand. Security is crappy and phone specs suck. Imagine the battery ain't even up to 2000mAH. Those guys are jokers!

Dude if you buy a phone for status symbol then you need your head checked asap. And you say samsung should come to save apple fans haha so hilarious, as much as i hate to admit it samsung is number one when it comes to ripping of people of their money, a company that keeps churning out phones daily and place a high price tag on them. If not for the fierce competition from fellow top manufacturers and crafty chinese oems (which samsung painfully admitted), the price of samsung phone would have been fu cking high. By the way of the ten million people who bought the phone just 9 reported the case, and apple said they would be replaced, so whats the biggie. If someone bought a phone at a high price then he should treat the phone well. I wont buy a phone and start using it to play fetch with my dog.

DMilanista: Social media channels have overflowed this week with commentary on whether Apple‘s new iPhone 6
Plus bends under pressure, particularly in a pants
pocket.

Turns out actual complaints to the company, at least so far, are much less prevalent.

“With normal use a bend in iPhone is extremely rare
and through our first six days of sale, a total of nine
customers have contacted Apple with a bent iPhone
6 Plus,” Trudy Muller, an Apple spokeswoman, said
in a statement. “IPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus meet or
exceed all of our high quality standards to endure
everyday, real life use.”

The statement comes after some early adopters complained that the new iPhone 6 Plus, which is
significantly larger than previous generations of the
iPhone, was permanently bending from simply being carried in a pocket for long periods of time.
After one new iPhone 6 Plus owner on Tuesday complained that his phone warped after sitting in
his front pants pocket during a long drive, the story
was quickly picked up by technology blogs and news outlets.

Lewis Hilsenteger, who runs Unbox Therapy, a YouTube channel dedicated to showcasing the latest
tech hardware, filmed himself straining to bend an
iPhone 6 Plus with his bare hands. The video has been viewed more than 25 million times in less than two days.

Apple performs “rigorous tests throughout the entire development cycle including three-point bending, pressure-point cycling, sit, torsion and user studies,” according to Ms. Muller. “IPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus meet or exceed all of our high quality standards to endure everyday, real life use.”

As Apple has grown bigger and more successful, it
has also become a bigger target for criticism. The
company says it sold more than 10 million iPhone 6
and iPhone 6 Plus smartphones over the first three
days of release, a new record for the company.

Some of the attention is self-inflicted, however. In 2010, early buyers of the iPhone 4 reported problems with the device’s cellular antenna, which
caused dropped calls due to the design of the phone. An Apple executive responsible for the project left the company over the incident.

And this week, Apple released a software update to
the iPhone that was supposed to fix some early bugs in an updated version of its mobile operating
system, iOS 8. The update made some users’ phones unable to make or receive calls, and also rendered the touch identification technology software useless, according to reports. Apple quickly withdrew the software update, and has said it planned to release a new software patch in short order.

send and recieve files through bluetooth, easily customizable, can run ios theme if need be. has a much better battery. battery can be easily replaced. doesnt bend like silly icrap. now going deep, can be used as a man in the middle hack dos. can download from any site and not restricted to itunes. can make use of vpn. easy to merge linux. infact dont compare note 3 with this crap. compare the silly iphone 6+ with the samsung s3, then maybe we might have a tie.

The bolded are irellivant and as for the coloured have you done a personal hands on battery test between galaxy note 3 and iphone 6plus. And iphone have a seamless hardware and soft ware integration which the note three can only dream of just to think that the iphone 5s with an underclocked cyclone processor and just 1gig of ram blows the note3 with 3gig to the 7 ring of hell says alot, touch id, the 8mp camera of the 6+ capture better photos than the note 3. Please go and compare your note 3 with iphone 4s...
