I tossed out my Apple phones long ago that are only sold for their bling bling value not their technology. My LG G4 will have better specs and features than the iPhone 7 when it comes out in 2016. The i6 doesn't even have optical image stabilizer camera (OIS). No OIS is so obsolete for a expensive flagship phone. However the i6+ does have OIS but only 2 axle compared to my 3 axle LG G4 OIS. The LG G4 has a 16 MP with a ƒ/1.8 aperture lens that is better for low light conditions than i6+ƒ/2.2 aperture lens. Even my G4's selfie camera equals the i6+ with 8MP camera and the G4 has a better lens with a f/2.0 aperture lens than the back camera of the i6+ with it's weaker ƒ/2.2 aperture lens. The G4 even has a selfie flash. LG G4 has a laser focus like a real camera.
LG G4 has replaceable battery, SD card that supports up to 2 TB and I can stream 4K video (4K Slimport Support) to my 4K HDTV. The i6+ doesn't even have a 4K video recorder or a screen that is Quad HD like the LG G4.
Apple has yet to make a phone that support's T-Mobiles 700Mhz Band 12 unlike many Android phones that supports Band 12. Many people that have both the i6 and a Note 4/S6 claim they have much better reception on the Samsung device with more bars of signal. Apple phones always seen to have issues with reception even back to the i4 and it's "Antennagate issue". Apple is just Androids 2013 technology at 2016 prices.
This completely misses the point.
Apple phones are not sold for the bling value, they sell because they work well and offer a consistently good user experience.
It could be rocking a 486 processor with 4mb of memory for all I care so long as it runs quickly. Equally my old Note 4's whopping 3GB of memory didn't make me feel any better about it taking 5 seconds to open the multitasking page.
Megapixels? Lenses? Who cares? If my smartphone takes consistently great pictures I'm happy.
As for 4K video, I'm not going to store a load of massive video files to play on a TV that I might own in 5 years time. It's such a niche requirement that it's a non feature to nearly everyone.
QHD screen? What's the point? There's no real difference between an iPhone 6 screen and any QHD screen that I've seen. All they do is make the battery run down quicker and create a heavier load on the CPU.
Specs are a means to an end, not the end itself.
Say what you like about Apple but they are the only manufacturer that can be relied upon to consistently get the basics right and given how crucial smartphones have become to our day to day lives, that's a killer feature in itself.
I'm sorry to say that while all of the Android manufactures have been engaged in a pointless spec war, they should have been concentrating on making things work flawlessly.
