You are right. This is something that many will not be surprised by at this point, but The Wall Street JournalHe, one of the most reputable media in the American continent, has described the new device of the apple house in this way. And there are many of us who agree with them.
It has been a long time since it was seen so much expectation at the launch of an iPhone, much of it generated by the Cupertino workers themselves. The truth is that, although the surprise when we saw what would finally be the bet this year by Apple was not too much, it does not mean that what is presented is really good.
Many will say that I am a fanboy more praising everything Apple does, but there are really few competing smartphones that can stand up to the new iPhones. Without a doubt, the one that comes closest to him is the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, but he still has points where he loses. Basically, they are these three:
- Design: without a doubt, one of the strengths of all Apple products and that most differentiates them from the competition. With the iPhone 6 we have seen a new and improved design that really shows when you have the iPhone in your hand.
- Own system: iOS has many virtues and many other defects, but its own and very well optimized operating system.
- Ecosystem: the ever-increasing integration between all the company's devices (especially supported by iOS 8 and Yosemite) is another of the main "unseen" pillars of the iPhone.
I do not deny that things on Android are getting better and better and that competing devices have a high level, but I think they are still far from achieving these three things that, for me, are what make a device really complete. Do you consider these elements decisive when choosing one device or another?
mmm well we know that the wall street journal has always been with apple so his comment loses credibility
but it's true, the iphone is the best cell phone under the face of the earth
Indeed, the WSJ - Apple relationship has always been a bit "dubious" in that regard.
I do not think the same or much less. In my family we all have an iPhone and the truth is that in recent years I have been more and more disappointed with Apple. For me, of the three points you have mentioned, the only one that is still valid is the integration of their devices, which you all like to call "the ecosystem". The other two points are quite dubious, first because the design of the Iphone 6 is the ugliest thing Apple has done in any generation. Camera that sticks out, rear bands that are nothing short of a grotesque and screw up all the harmony of the design and how not to mention the famous bendgate that everyone has forgotten lately. Secondly, in terms of iOS, well, I can only say that I can't stop having battery problems and that ios8 has not been the so revolutionary that Apple had sold us (widgets capped, unfortunate sharing option, etc). Above now with Android 5 it has fallen behind again.
Anyway, at the moment what is most worthwhile about Apple devices is their integration and of course, the service and guarantee they offer, something that no other brand can even dream of offering.
Well, I am quite surprised to name it the best smartphone.
Taking into account that it bends, that iOS 8 does not work well, that problems with cracks on the screen are being reported, ...
Not to mention that the design, which is more or less beautiful, does not make a better mobile,
A mobile is better when it has a better processor, ram, battery, ...
There are better mobiles out there.
as you can tell that apple fanboys are blind. the iPhone 6 is not the best device of the moment or joke. First, the design is horrible. It has horrendous frames and a size that is much larger than devices of a similar size, very badly used, second, some time ago ios stopped being better than Android. Android stands up to it and far surpasses it in most aspects and not to mention that it is a much more versatile and customizable system. The only thing I agree with is the ecosystem that it has, which is very good compared to Android for now. Apple sells you technology that has been in Android for 2 years and they call it innovation and charge you twice as much. Better not even talk about the fiasco that is ios8 and the bendgate
Coming from the WSJ, his statements are not at all reliable, given his relationship with Apple for years, obviously there are interests involved that color these statements with little objectivity. On the other hand, for me the 3 points mentioned are not decisive when choosing a smartphone, firstly IOS does not seem to me to be the best operating system and secondly, the iPhone does not have a good design that we say, if we talk about design the Xperia Z3 takes it between the horns and autonomy.
I share the opinion of Prpe… Design ??… ios8 ?? !!!… please !!!!
I went from mid-range Android to the iPhone 5s and with iOS 8 they have let me down ... and in terms of design, the 6 is the ugliest so far.
For the haters and envious who say that the design of the iphone 6 is ugly! What do we leave for the rest ??? Starting with Samsung….
By God I bought the 6 and although it seems and sounds ridiculous I changed to the 5S although it is smaller it is a thousand times more beautiful! The 6 is a little faster and nothing more then HORRIBLE ah and I am following Apple and I have to unfortunately admit this!
Well, I agree and I think the same, from time to time I try Android but what the iPhone and Apple offer me, in addition to knowing better how their OS works, other devices do not offer me. It is a personal opinion but I do not consider it the best mobile in the world because I like it more
I am switching to android to oneplus one, for 300 euros I have a terminal at the height of the iphone 6, even higher, with 64gb of storage. I like apple and iOS 8, but they have lost a customer.
Goodbye trunk….
Decide that yes, the design of the iPhone is ugly. Samsung designs are much more innovative and much prettier. In touch it is only noticeable (read the irony). Samsung phones remind me of the movie Zoolander and the Le Tigre, Ferrari and Acero Azul looks. Has anyone noticed that the only thing that changes is the name? All the same. As for the Bandgate thing, I have not been doubled, but I invite everyone who has a Note 4 to exert the same pressure we saw in that video, we will see how the phone ends. What is not bent, is broken.
In addition, a folded iPhone has an added value, that you can take selfies. That is, the iPhone can take a photo of the iPhone itself hahaha
I don't see it ugly, although there are more beautiful ones, including the iPhone5 ...
But for me in design by scale ...
Xperia Z3 White, it seems to me a joy of design, it reminds me a lot of the white iPhone5 but big
LG G3 The frames seem to me the best that has been seen, a pantallote that freaks out that you drool when you see it
iPhone 5 I always liked and I would like the design of this phone, although now it makes me look ridiculous in my hand for getting used to the greats
Hello, I visit this website often because I love the iPhone, it is true that Apple is not really at the level that I would like, but I still believe that it makes very good devices. What I don't do is enter Samsung Galaxy or Android pages to launch their products. If you don't like the iPhone, you have several options: Make a complaint to Apple directly through various means; do not buy their products; if you have already bought it, sell it and buy an Android; etc. But putting out someone's comments or the product itself on this blog seems to me to be unnecessary. At the moment Apple has not disappointed me so much as to switch to Android, everything will be seen.
Well, I don't really know why people go to the extreme of exaggeration, I have a 6 GB space gray iphone 32 is my personal phone, I also have a Galaxy S6 Edge that the company where I work as a corporate phone gave me, so Which I can speak to you with criteria of both and I will say: In fact I consider the iPhone 6 superior in certain cases to the Galaxy, the Samsung has sometimes blocked me and opening some applications even if I opened them 2 seconds ago costs a little and takes time to load , It is clear that the Galaxy has more RAM memory therefore it would be expected that the applications, videos and others would load much faster, unfortunately I speak for my case IT IS NOT SO, I am also a fan of MOBA games and recently I found the VainGlory for IOS, I must say that it runs great and its graphics without any problem, we must accept that Samsung has nailed it trying to resemble Apple terminals, but what we cannot forget is that since the launch From the first Iphone it was emphasized that Apple is a lover of software, and they love it so much that they design hardware to make it work, their priority is software and we must accept that both in security, performance and originality Apple takes it out.
regards
Well it makes me funny those who say that ios is going wrong hehe of course Apple set the bar very high that is clear with every comment I read, and of course sometimes you sew them can fail but say that ios is going wrong. advertising goes slow or gives restart problems that is going wrong but ios what a marvel and the bad design heh jeee that's why all the brands copy them the only thing that I see debatable are the rear bands otherwise undisputed the best with less ram and less Processor is better than any Samsung, the day they put the same thing, it will be fat, that's why Apple puts it on it.
By the way, the gates of all the years are inventions of other brands I have an iPhone 6 and it does not bend at all, what nonsense the thing is to solve problems a lot, other brands have to thank Apple who invented the applications for example the designs all APPLE I REMEMBER IT TO ALL
knitting wool
i am apple pro.
and I would tell you one thing. iPhone is better with so little ram next to a Samsung or Sony, but what most of you do not know is that when you exit iOS and run applications external to Apple, it is when you notice all that ram and cpu doing to that Samsung as you say More powerful.
ios is a thousand times better than android but when you manage that extra ram in external apps, you can see the performance of that extra. Not everything is iOs as many blind people are here and that is why I complain because apple with this phone had to expand the 1gb ram today it is a misery and for me that is why it is not the best phone I will change my mind when the S comes out with better hardware
not everything is pretty that glitters. but clarc not every apple fan thinks like me
The only thing I want to say is that perhaps the iPhone 6 is not the most beautiful of Apple, but I think no one will argue with me that it is prettier than other Android devices like the Galaxy ...
How cool to see so many android losers getting into apple forums hahaha it looks like these losers are so envious, ups someone does not have a social life
Well, Alejandro in this case, I don't know why in my case it doesn't happen to me, I talk to you as a phone and executing from the phone what you say are things that many do not do
WSJ investors are also part of Apple so the publication of them as well as those of this post does not have an iota of credibility, the lack of credibility is palpable. Now if it is the best it is subjective seeing it from objectivity I have been an Apple user for years and they have light and dark no one can deny that, I checked it with the purchase of a 5th generation iPod touch and it works very very badly with IOS 8 and in me iPad 4 is beginning to see problems as well as in my iPhone 5s, but it makes me laugh to see people say the word «optimization, that the processor is huge, that your IOS only needs 512 bytes of ram to work» FALSE they can and should improve because they are making obsolete devices too fast and I think there is not enough money to be making those who want to see our faces every year in September richer.
New and improved design ???? Hahahaha, where does that statement come from? It is always the same fucking design, they only make it longer and thinner, this in order to take advantage of the leftovers of previous iPhone material I got tired of buying junk, the truth so far happy with my HTC m8. In addition, it is made of aluminum and not just the back.
I personally think that the one who wrote this article is an applefanatic ... there are phones today that have a better design than the iPhone 6. Just look at the latest jewel of htc. Or the Samsung note 4. The latter has a performance that no phone on the market has. I personally did a test between the iPhone 6 plus and note 4 since I have the possibility because my girlfriend has the iPhone and I have the note. There are things the iPhone is undoubtedly better at. Like its simplicity. Anyone could use it, but for me that is boring because you buy it and two days later you no longer have anything to know about it.
By God for cataloging a smartphone as the best to name 3 qualities, it is like passing a grade exam for answering 3 questions out of 10, you let things pass where to be the best you have to be 10/10. With regard to design, you have to have criteria, it is not worth saying that I like it because yes, the design has to fulfill a function, but as most say I like it, it becomes subjective. Short story, the fact that it bends and is now prone to scratches makes the smartphone the best?

It is enough that an old teapot has the apple logo, they are paying for the brand not for the product.
What are we going to expect from the gringos, they advertise their products without saying the reality of things, nowadays there are many Android phones that beat the apple brand by a landslide, more advanced operating systems and their many more successful applications and advanced, I particularly do not like the design of the new iPhones at all, but I understand that you have to make a profit and incidentally upload a few programs to blatantly advertise their phones
I just bought the iphone6, and I am delighted, I also have a gala and s5, and it is also wonderful, the truth is that each one fulfills its functions, I think it is more a matter of taste, the galactic s5 is true that it blocked several Sometimes something than with the iPhone never, but ultimately they are both the best, greetings.
