I think it's great to see so many people both for and against apple. Apple products always have great design and polish, and you can tell plenty of time goes into perfecting their products. Other companies have more frequent models with a lot less pressure to be perfect, so they can stay at the cutting edge and be great platforms for trying out zany new ideas. That variety is the best thing for the customer, I think!
Most of all it's just nice to see apple's monopoly dying a bit, because god knows that company does some awful things with it when they get the chance ![:)](http://www.atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Android stans get so pressed when a new Apple product comes out. It's so amusing. ![laugh](images/smilies/images/smilies/laugh.gif)

Who cares who had it first, its about how well it uses it. Androids have always been clunky, disorganized, and loaded with so many things I don't need its an eye sore. People enjoy Apple because its simplistic design. Android users just come out looking bothered and threatened right now, its phone guys, you make phone calls and text with it like ![toofunny2](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/faces/toofunny2_zpsb54f2d2d.gif)

Sometimes it's better to keep quiet. Especially when you don't know the facts.
The Nexus 4 is a Google phone designed with pure Android. It's not loaded with any BS and is accepted as the best Android experience you can get, as all Google Nexus phones are.
I'm not threatened. I bought the Nexus 4 two years ago, but if you want to pay double the price of the Nexus 4 for the 2 year old tech in the iPhone 6 then that's you.
Fools part easily with their money I guess, and going by this thread, Apple is laughing all the way to the bank. ![toofunny3](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/faces/toofunny3_zps08814413.gif)

Android is poor man's iPhone.
Of course there will be jealous nobs who don't know 1st thing about technology.
And ofc, in 2012, they integrated the fingerprint chip, the M8 processor, the sapphire glass, the health based iOS.

When will Android users stop being such shills? Nobody gives a **** about your inferior ass phones. Linux has more features than Windows does that make it superior? No, stop. Your phones are ugly and irrelevant.

![ahh](images/smilies/images/smilies/ahh.gif) at people saying "user experience"
We've had these features for years, and I'm still rocking a Nexus 4. iPhone users can leave with their dated devices full of "new" features
Apple is such a crook

Irrelevant with the majority of the market by far and growing faster than iOS
Ugly with phones that inspired the new iPhones
I mean what kind of flawed post? ![ahh](images/smilies/images/smilies/ahh.gif)

Why Apple iPhone 6 cannot be compared to Google Nexus 4
It is more like comparing a Mercedes SLS AMG with a Toyota Camry.You could list the similarities in the two cars - they both have a steering wheel, they both have four wheels that the car runs on and a spare one in the boot, they both have air-conditioning and they both have a horn, too. But a Toyota Camry would never be a match for the Mercedes SLS AMG. The same is true when comparing the iPhone 6 to the Nexus 4. Here is a list of features that the online posts fail to mention:
Processor:
The new A8 chipset with the second-generation 64-bit architecture is zipping fast. Be it graphic games or any other heavy app, the chances of slowing down the phone is next to nil. Apple claims that the phone won't heat up even at high performance. The Nexus 4, when launched in 2012, had a 1.5GHz quad core processor based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 8064 chipset. Even today'sAndroid smartphones*with the latest chipsets heat up. And don't ask about lags and freezing, which is often.
Camera: The Nexus 4 had an 8MP camera and so does the iPhone 6. But the imaging quality and sensor on the iPhone 6 are far superior than most cameras in smartphones today. The new Focus Pixel technology provides the sensor with more information about the image, giving a better and faster autofocus that one can see in preview.
Faster Wireless: The iPhone 6 has faster LTE connectivity and supports higher download speeds. LTE is short for Long-Term Evolution, commonly known as fourth-generation or 4G technology. Apple claims it supports more LTE bands than any other smartphone. Even for WiFi, it will work three times faster than the predecessor and most other smartphones.
Apps installed from browser: Do you actually care about these apps? Apple is particular about the apps listed on the iPhone. On Android devices, half the apps are useless or collect private information and can pose threat to your phone.
Premium smartphone: Since the first iPhone launch, all the iPhones had a premium feel. But holding the Nexus 4 wasn't any match. And most Android smartphones look alike. The recent Panasonic Eluga U has a similar back as the Nexus 4.
Wireless Charging: The online posts also boast the Nexus 4's wireless charging capabilities. But, typically, a Qi wireless charger doesn't accompany the handset and it needs to be purchased separately. Of the number of people who purchased the Nexus 4 back then, I don't really know anyone who invested in one.
Fingerprint scanner: That's one thing*Apple*has and Nexus doesn't. And this isn't only for show-off as, until now, it was used to unlock phones or authorise purchases on the App Store. Now with the Apple Pay service, it will be used for authenticating payments too.
Customer support: The biggest advantage of owning an Apple device is the service. The whole network is so systematically planned that in case you have any issue with your device, just walk into any service centre. If the problem is beyond repair, in most cases the unit is swapped. It might be a refurbished unit, but you still get the warranty from the date of the purchase.
Also, you are saved from the hassle of calling and visiting the customer care like in the case of most other brands. In India, with Nexus 4, people had a tough time to get the handsoet repaired.You might call me an Apple fan but these are some genuine differences between using an iPhone and the Nexus 4. There are not many iPhone users I know who switch to Android. However, there are many Android users falling for Apple.

Samsung has piggybacked ever since then. They`re annoying and disgusting. Nobody cares about your irrelevant features and overpowered hardware that isn`t even integrated well with the operating system.

I mean, people get an Android phone when they cannot afford an iPhone. It's that simple.
Now if you wanna brag and act like you made the right choice, you just look plain stupid.

Galaxy S5 looks like a freaking bandage.
They had to COPY iPhone once again with the colors.
They had to put the FUNNY SWIPE fingerprint sensor.
AND RELEASE 1891373 versions of every phone, because even Samsung themselves KNOW they are selling you ****. And they just upgrade the ****.
And the play store is basically an iTunes story copy... but with quality of an LG phone.
Basically, the android lovers deserve their phone. It's fitting.

I know we don't agree on pop stars but omg your dragging of these Android users is giving me life
-
I'm glad Apple isn't the first to come out with new features. Apple makes sure they are complete and work well. Nobody really used, supported, or cared about NFS. Apple Pay will be huge.
Apple ha impact ![worship2](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/310230f4.gif)

Why do you all ****ing care if someone has an iPhone or an Android? They both pretty much have the same apps and do the same things for the most part (things that are actually USED).

I actually prefer my Samsung Galaxy III mini (will upgrade to a S5 later this year) over iPhones.
I get more mileage over how I can manage my features, music and files. And upgrading the memory card only costs about 20 bucks more anyway.
Aside from that, the Apple products do what they do best. They say less is more and Apple does that well.
