kobonaire: 100% on point .... I used to hate iPhones before, till I got one and just came to appreciate how well integrated their OS software, firmware and hardware is. They do charge a huge premium though for their product (that's just them being opportunistic anyway).

DaGC: Nothing to forgive bruv, you were just sharing your opinion. I just fear say your blood just dey too hot against android like wetin wan explode. I no even know say na android you sef dey use. The way you take yarn ehn, person for feel say you be staunch iPhone user o.

I was just glad you said the truth about no OS being perfect. They all have their benefits and shortcomings.

But the way you hype the iPhone ehn, I con dey fear say even if Apple put VGA camera for any iPhone, you go still talk say e beat the best wey andriod get.

standupguy: Memory slot is becoming out dated due to cloud computing.
All you need is an apple I.D, and all your files are saved on cloud and accessible from all your idevices.
Android offers a whole lot of cloud apps, Dropbox, Google drive etc.
But again the integration on Apple is next to none.

DaGC: oga @Dmcdad, abeg take am easy. No be quarrel. The way you dey yarn ehn, e just be like say you and android get serious beef. Abeg calm down, no be fight.

vitust: When do you expect me to comment? they are real unless someone is impersonating them. Can someone please send me the email or number which contacted him/her as Vina Agency let me compare with the one I used to correspond with them

honeric01: Choooi

BlackBaron: That Sir, is conjecture.
I also know quite a number of people with broken/cracked iphone screens...But I stopped short of calling iphone 'fragile'

candygosh: I soon love this. It's an overpriced piece of crap. Will wait patiently and sell my 16MP Samsung S5 once I see a phone that beats it.

Lol at the isheep

texazzpete: Why would I take a less powerful Galaxy S5 over an iPhone 6?

(Ignore the fact that I already have an S5)

The iPhone 6 likely has a more powerful CPU and most definitely a much more powerful GPU with improved low level driver support so games will always look better on the iPhone 6.

You really have no clue. You just compare two numbers and pick the higher one as more powerful.

Femistico: this is crap mehn...for God sake dis is 2014..1 gig ram, cpu 1.4ghz dual core wen even tecno dey use quad core, 8mp for camera no memory card slot..hmmmm reserve my comment

texazzpete: Have you seen any comparisons between the A8 and the Snapdragon 805? No? Then you just pulled that out of your backside

Kessleek: Can you please explain that

honeric01: Thanks, but do we still have another one different from Cadete B?

standupguy: On point.
The one wey dey vex me pass na samsung.
What the hell is Samsung?? The only android OEM producers doing a good job in hardware design, innovation and software integration are HTC and Sony.
We have seen features like camera ultra pixel and very cool interactive phone cases from HTC. Sony is doing good with water proof and PS4 play.

Samsung with there tasteless design, poor material finishing and fragility is there to pack processor, ram and 200 mega pixels just to sale phones because that is what people want to hear.
Then they incorporate allien features people have to no need for.
Samsung is on the same playing field with techno, and gionee. Glorified plastic then can't survive a simple drop from your hand.

caukerzee: You keep talking about revolution. But you cannot explain how the revolution occurred. These devices haven't hit the shelves yet, there's been no experience and reviews from users from the people and you're talking about dirty revolution??

StreamerBlogger: M not so current wen i comes to sales....but i know dat in 21st century dey don't judge products according to sales.Blackberry in Nigeria should b an example. I personally judge in terms of performance.

StreamerBlogger: I don't know bout beat cos currently i would rank 6th behind Htc,sammy,sony,xiomi,oneplusone.

ollah1: At the bolded
1: Android has being doing that with Google Wallet
2: What did they revolutionise with the smart watch. Tell me one thing the iWatch can do that an android wear wouldn't do and even do more. Theirs is even fugly
3: I agree with you
4: Its all Gimmick. 64bit architecture needs minimum of 4GB ram which apple has always failed to implement in their idevices

StreamerBlogger: I actually agree with u dat d size of MP doesn't matter but com'on couldn't dey not have atleast lied it was 13mp....u can't go out to boast with a fone of specs writeup equivalent to dose of 2012...Apple is a joke.NOTE; Apple don't sell specs dey sell brand.

StreamerBlogger: TO BE HONEST NIGERIANS ARE REALLY IGNORANT U INCLUSIVE..... HOW CAN U STAY IN COMFORT OF UR HOUSE OR WHR EVER U R DEN TYPE DIS TRASH...HOW CAN U COMPARE ULTRAPIXELS WITH MEGAPIXEL.HTC failed in dere line of camera's SIMPLE.

texazzpete: Of course the 5S has a better design. But if it had a 4.7" screen and the specs of the 6, it wouldn't be a 5S anymore.


I think Apple's lost the plot with the iPhone, though. The Home button is now a trap for them, a millstone around their necks. They'll never be able to get rid of those huge bezels and their famed leadership in design may soon come to an end.

ckhelvin: the ugly truth is dat samsung can't just do well wit tizen if they try leaving android platform!!..they know it themselves buh they just wana get control of both the hardware and software features like u said..I'm patiently waiting for the benchmark scores between iphone6 and note4...and u very correct about apple amounting to half of pictures bin uploaded to most of these social networks..+1 there !

spotit: lol...boss, let's wait for it first. ur not even a better lover of Apple than i am. this war is fiercely serious. what I'm for is true and ultimate user satisfaction... apple is somewhat dragging. Jobs started this, apple should bring us where no one should have even the tiniest doubt to begin to compare

ckhelvin: I don't blame them dou!!..dey jump to conclusions without really understanding the tech market..

texazzpete: So you're quoting specs for quoting sake?

- Wireless charging: Neither the Galaxy S5 or Note 3 have wireless charging. Most Android phones do not have this built in. You can snag accessories for most flagship phones that supports wireless charging, the iPhone 6 is no exception

- Water resistance: Has never been a key feature in a phone. Nice to have, though

- IR remote control: Meaningless. Most TVs made since 2012 have Wifi inbuilt and dedicated apps in the App store for remote controls. Or you could easily pick up some 3rd party accessories if you're that desperate.

- running multi apps on a split screen: Fair point...but most people do not use this feature.


The funny thing is, you just dont just get it. 'Android' isn't a Phone. It's an OS. But you fanboys love to combine features from like 5 different phones, call it 'Android' and compare it against the iPhone.

- At least with the iPhone 6 you've got guaranteed updates to the latest firmware for at least 3 years. It's highly unlikely that the HTC One or Galaxy S3 will get an Android L update

- Smooth, consistent performance: iOS still has the smoothness from 2010 that Android has been chasing, first with 'Project Butter', then the lowered memory requirement on KitKat and now Android L

- Far better ecosystem for accessories.

- desktop integration for OSX users

- Compatibility with BOTH Apple and Google smartwatch devices.

- Best in class CPU and GPU specs.


You also avoid a significant amount of malware, inconsistent app performance, OEM skin related lagginess and you can be sure of getting some of the best apps first.


There are pros and cons to both sides. You could choose one side without damning the other.

Or you could be like me and rock both OSes. I currently use a Galaxy S5 and a 5S. Will upgrade to a Z3 (for PS4 remote play) and an iPhone 6. Win-Win

ckhelvin: You guys just don't get it do you...it's not about the spec on papers please understand the technology behind such first..how can u say al because a samsung device as 16mega pixel resolution necessarily means it has a better quality than apple which has 8MP buh don't forget samsung only used 1.1micro size of it's resolution compare to apple which uses 1.5micro size And aperture of f/2.2 on it's camera which makes and shoot quality pics much more than any samsung device..so fellas don't be deceived!..talkin about 1g ram on apple devices surpasses that of 4g ram found in samsung devices.,yea I said so ..for Christ sake apple has the smoothest operating system til dat..it's not bout the ram on a devices buh actually decodes the function coz apples 1g ram is accompany with M8 coprocessor ..android with its 4g ram lags like shiit and isn't smooth compare to apple idevices..leh me rest my case here coz their r more tinz to lecture u guys on..u need to understand the tech not just gimmickry features

standupguy: You have to understand that apples strategy is integration.
Apple tries to integrate there products with your everyday life activities that is what makes there product special.
It's not about packing spec.
When it comes to build quality I must say that HTC is the only android phone I really appreciate there design, the iPhone 6 actually looks a lot like the HTC one M8.
I don't use apple products because of there restrictions and high price, in fact I call them an elitist company, but then i do appreciate there products and if I have to buy the phone it means I have to buy the laptop too, because that is the only way you can enjoy the full potential of there products. (not in Naija away)

texazzpete: Specs are 2012?
I'm willing to bet the iPhone 6 will be the most powerful mobile phone in the world when it shows up in stores next week.

If anything, some of you are the ignorant sheep. I bet you think a 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 is faster than a 2.3 Ghz Core i7 from 2014. To be honest, I think more Android fanboys are far bigger sheep

bejeria101: Still a 1 gig ram device? Smh for apple

texazzpete: Actually the M8 camera has poor daylight outdoors performance compared to other flagships this year. Does very well in low light, but all round worse than the others.

spotit: u need to take it easy with yo lying. the M8 spots a 4Up cam. ultrapixels, that is. and you haven't even touched it, shame.
