Disadvantage of iphones......

Apple, as it say “Think different”, has not made any difference in its newer version of iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 plus. Apple makes products that are never seen before. Every Year, in september, the world grabs a bag of popcorn and gets ready to watch Apple’s best iPhone yet come on stage in all its glory and packed with features that every privilege customer feels the premium of being Apple’s Customer. But this time, apple didn’t do anything except the bitter aftertaste the presentation left on millions of Apple’s fans.

Things actually started off nicely with the announcement of the long overdue screen size bump, and we didn’t get a cheaper option this time – we were treated to possibly a bigger, better iPhone to go with the best iPhone to date. How Apple – it takes another iPhone to beat the iPhone.

It felt though like they’re telling the audience, you don’t have to go to the competition to do better. We never thought we’d see Apple do that – imply that. We missed the usual arrogance if you will. The kind that preached that screens bigger than 4″ are a nonsense. The kind that insists on the retina resolution while the competition is at QHD.

Rounded corners? 8MP camera? NFC? This must be year 2012. Apple’s not about cutting-edge hardware, but content and user experience. We’ve heard enough of that. And hey, it’s a valid strategy. But this year even the most loyal iPhone users among us have a feeling they’re being fed a feature a year with Apple withholding significant upgrades that would make the iPhone technologically superior, or equal to the flagships of the competition.

If it wasn’t for the different looks, we’d say all we got this September is another incremental upgrade, an iPhone 5s, if you will. And the looks – the phone looks gorgeous but once we picked it up, the slippery curves made us miss the sharp machined chamfered edges. Gone is the premium glass material on the back, replaced by cheap looking antenna strips that can’t seem to decide whether they belong to the back or the sides. Oh, and the protruding camera lens – bumper cases will be in high demand again it seems.

Anyway, we’re here to see how much better the new iPhone 6 is compared to last year’s model and we can start with a look at its key specs. Who knows, we might succumb to its charms.

Main disadvantages:

Has unimpressive screen to body ratio (the Nexus 5 fits a 5-inch screen in this size of a body)
We would take a bigger battery than a thinner phone any day
No microSD slot
No user-replaceable battery

Curved corners make it more slippery and easier to drop than the iPhone 5S
No 32GB version, users forced to upgrade all the way to 64GB (which is cheaper this year, but a 32GB version should have been even cheaper or even standard)
Protruding camera lens makes the phone wobble if you don’t have a case on
Camera is still merely 8MP four years in a row (granted, it’s getting better with every new generation)
No 4K video and video sound is still mono
Lacks the optical image stabilization of the iPhone 6 Plus
No enhanced resistance to liquids or dust
Offers the same display pixel density fourth year in a row
NFC functionality limited to Apple Pay only
No FM radio
No Infrared port
No wireless charging
No stereo speakers
No USB Mass Storage mode, iTunes required for file transfers
Rather pricey without carrier subsidies
Feel free to disagree – but the biggest upgrade Apple has delivered in years has left the feature gap wide open – denying them their usual excuse: “We do things our way, we don’t care about anyone else’s screen size or resolution”. And that list goes on to waterproofing, 4K videos, lossless video zoom, OIS, high-res imaging, stereo speakers.

Perhaps we started this review off on the wrong foot, so please forgive us the rant. But the irony in it is that it was Apple’s iPhones driving the competition to heap feature upon feature in hope they can steal users from the superior ecosystem and user experience which, we must say, got even better
