You are pretty wrong. Your analysis is flawed. What the function of update? iPhone 6 debuted with iOS 8.0 and right now their recent update is 8.4 in between there were 8 or more updates. Apple should have considered it perfect without pushing updates and besides more updates more trouble/betterness of the device. Of course, Apple would surely work on the touch ID to make it more accurate. Users on 5.1.1 talked about the fingerprint being more accurate.

Typing on S6 Edge is so fast and swift without any problems at all and am still on 5.0.2.

Sent from Galaxy S6 Edge

I never said the update in itself is bad, but the gripe is with the stock OS on a device which promises to have a better finger print sensor, but fails and the user is forced to wait for an update.

If this was the first try by Samsung at implementing the Finger print sensor, I would have given them a pass. This is one of the reason why I didn't upgrade to the Samsung S5 when it was released, but went for the HTC M8. But the finger sensor is still not okay on the S6, a technology iPhone got right as far back as 2013 on the iPhone 5s.

I think you should take the iPhone 6, or even the iPhone 5s for a spin then try to compare the two finger print sensors.

Read and re read my comment bro. I don't experience fail on my S6 Edge and the previous versions of finger print scanning tech on Sammy were swipe. This is their first touch enabled finger print version. I said and repeat iPhone 6 has received multiple updates which will def better the fingerprint function and also the tech(finger print)been baked into iOS while on the S6 its not baked into Android but doesn't mean OEM's can't take the adv of the open source ability

Vidoes online showed that the iphone 6 TouchID is 1 second faster than S6 finger print scanner

You should also note
Fingerprint is baked right into iOS but its not on Android
iPhone 6 runs on 8.3(Debuted with 8.0 and 7 updates in between to 8.3) while S6 runs on 5.0.2 (5.1.1 isn't in every market yet)

i laugh fall from palm tree. See another dumb fvck. Do you even know what iCloud means to start with? iPhone users use cloud storage, this is really funny tho. Bro, u will be slapped if u say this on the streets. Do you know the cost of data in Nigeria? You think cloud computing is cheap in Nigeria? How many people have unlimited data plan? Most people that have it are usually workers(0ffice wifi) and the tweakers

Btw Apple has iCloud
Google has Google Drive
Microsoft has one drive

loads of third party apps

Above all the number one cloud computing remains Dropbox. Don't be silly while commenting next time

I don't think dropbox is better than OneDrive. With OneDrive I can edit all my work online with the inbuilt Microsoft office. Plus you get more storage space with OneDrive than dropbox.

forget that thing bro.
My iphone browses naturally without sub and airtime via high class jail breaking for the past 2 years now and

the primary purpose of cloud computing is storage which dropbox does best. Regarding the editing, one box would have an edge cos its own by Microsoft and they own the office packages as well

Its not about the speed Bro, but about the accuracy, why rush a tech into release without testing in pre-prod environment?

Samsung focuses on the number of irrelevant gizmos they can possibly cram into their devices, without prior testing and practicability of such tech. The hover preview, eye scroll that was debuted on the S4 are some of such features that were later discontinued.

In hindsight, I regret switching back to Samsung I should have stuck with the more reliable HTC, can't wait to dump the Samsung S6 as soon as a new HTC comes out in February. But for now, I guess I'm stuck with Samsung till the end of the year.

They are both accurate. Do you know what innovation means? Samsung is a company that isn't afraid of trying out new things, some would work while some won't. Apple isn't that kind of a company.

HTC came up with ultra pixel camera thing
HTC introduced the duo camera thing
Sony came up with water resistance et al thing


The function u mentioned earlier discontinued cos it made touchwiz heavy. I wonder why you switched in the first place, you had a bad experience with s3 and s4 and you had good moments with iPhone 6 and m8. You should have bought the M9 or wait for 6S since sammy ain't your thing.

Incase you don't know. The s6 is the current best and fastest phone out there

iOS is light years more advanced than android will ever be!
I use both (iPhone is my main phone, android is just for android dev).
In terms of UI, security, graphics etc, iPhone rules, but in terms of free stuff (apps) I guess android rules there.

For me, iPhone all the way!!! wink

If truly iOS is light years advanced than android "welcome to 2012" would trend when iPhone 6 debuted and iOS9 wouldn't steal features from Android.

At the emboldened, who told you this fake statement. A phone with 1 gig ram. A phone that doesn't trully multi task. A phone that has no split screen function.
U want to compare an android's 1gig ram to an iPhone's 1gig ram abi
iPhones 1gig ram would perform better dan an android with 2gig ram......take that to the bank grin


Lovechyld101:


I don't. Kno what yastick or benchmark you use in comparing the two but android is way more advance than the Iphone the Iphone 6 plus the highest iphone till date use 1g ram and a dual core. 1.4 processor even the camera is just a mere 8mp doesn't even support java compared to an andriod with 4g ram and octa core 1.6 processor with a 20mp camera but iphones is slightly stable and uses less memory but I will choose an andriod over a iphone any day any time cos of it open source nature.

why all this paper statistics.......a bold5 with 5mp shoots better dan an android with 8mp....you sef take that to the bankk grin.........a higher mp doesnt mean a better pics bro....if u ready bring ur 20mp camera to compete my Q10 8mp na...
if an iPhone with 1 gig and dual core can perform without lag den imagine what would happen when that same iPhone has 4gig ram on octa core.....realtime performance no be for paper

Android is ram hungry no doubt but if u read well my comment negated his while comparing 1 GB ram device to a comp besides android truly multi tasks hence it's more ram usage just like comps. Let's see if iPhone 6s would also be 1GB ram since it's enough
Re: 9 Reasons Why You Should Buy An Android Phone Instead Of An Iphone by tegak10: 1:04pm On Jul 03, 2015
And yet iPhone has no unique feature
Speed - windows phone is faster
Security bb is more secure Camera s6 LG g4 xperia z3+ n note 4 before u see iPhone 6 Apps- android has more
Even Steve Jobs didn't use his iPhone he used bb Price- s6 edge 64gb costs more to manufacture than iPhone 6+ 128gb So iPhone users what is so special about your phone...
