Hey bro, I'll be the first one to make a thread about the google car when it comes out. I'm not saying apple is changing the world like google (a driverless car would truly change the world and be more than a game changer). I'm just saying, when it comes to stuff like this, apple leads the way and does it best. The fingerprint sensor just works, I still can't get that performance out of any android phone and after a certain point its more effort not less to keep f**k with the thing. I'm glad google got the ball rolling with mobile payments but it's a pretty useless thing for me if i can only use it at walgreens. I'm excited that apple finally stepped in and we will get a mobile payment system thats ubiquitous, functional and more convenient that the current methods. Not sure why you are getting all mad about sheeple, if you don't like the phone then don't buy it. But don't get all angry and blow smoke up my ass telling me how all these features work when I have tried them first hand and never gotten them to perform as advertised or to my liking. I know when Apple does something it will work, and I'm excited that they are doing something I have wanted for a long time, namely mobile payments. I'm excited about a smart watch that will do things I want, like measure my activity and show me maps as i'm traveling. I haven't seen anything on the market that can do that properly yet.

Not sure why you are getting all upset. The sales numbers show that there is clearly a market for what apple does, namely taking gimmicky technology and turning it into something usable and convenient. If you are cool with your android then congrats bro, I'm happy for you.

well it's just annoying to hear that it's so much better to use something else by just using the same buzzword throwup that that company does. i've used iOS and have found it annoying and clunky compared to android, which is the opposite of usable and convienient. i use vanilla android plus my stuff in it and i don't like samsung ui really either. iOS 6 was horrible for multitasking (the last time i used iOS) and i know they tried to copy android but they still did it wrong. and their voice functionality lololol google now is far better

Galt is a leader in whining innovation. I used to whine until Galt came along, I'll never do it as well as he does. You can't call something your own anymore if someone comes along and does it better than you'd ever hoped to.

Apple just took over wearables.

Another thing I don't like about the iPhone is its construction. I don't want a "single unit" construction. When I drop my S5, it flies apart. The back panel comes off, and the battery pops out.

Why is this important? Because the battery has the most mass of any part of the phone. When the battery stays in the phone, that mass transfers its energy to the floor, through whatever is touching the floor. In many cases, it's the glass, and you get a broken phone.

But, when the battery pops out, that mass is removed from the phone, and the energy is not transferred through the glass.

I also like having a 2nd battery that I keep charged all the time. When I go on vacation, or a business trip, or am going to be using my phone all day long and don't want to be a "wall sitter", I carry that battery. When the first one runs dry, I swap them out.

Another thing that I dislike about the iPhone is when I misplace my charger (or leave it somewhere), I just go grab the one from my bluetooth speakers, my Google TV thing (whatever it's called), or any of the other 6 items in my house that use a micro USB charger. If I misplace my iPhone charger (kids' iPad), my kids are SOL until we find it again. Why can't Apple use a charger that everyone else uses?
