Are they referring to pixel density. Its a odd statement to make given they are the same resolution.
Yeah I reckon they are trying to claim that their DPI is better than what a console is usually connected, i.e. a big screen HDTV. But of course it has to be as the iPhone screen is so much smaller.
I feel it's just typical marketing hype to stretch the truth in their favour for the not so tech savy. We all know it's not just apple that does this, is it now...

As for the iPhone6, well I'd still have one over an Android any day.
But I think I'm the only one here that doesn't mind the locked in system of an iPhone.
From past experience I just like the simplicity & that there is not a lot of setting things up, everything works in a way you expect them to right of the bat.
Recieved an S5 around 4 weeks ago. Im not sure what you mean with everything working off the bat, but if you mean email, phone calls, texts, apps, all working as soon as it was turned on...yes mine did that. I cant fault the S5, its a fantastic bit of gear. And its expandable...imagine that!

While I agree with the above statements of Troll, thought was funny flipped a coin and it landed here.

The best thing about the iPhone 6, is if you hold it wrong it becomes an iPhone 9.

I've watched a lot of their drop tests and one never seen one that good. You only had to look at some of the older iPhones and the screen would break. This is seriously impressive.

For sure. Dropped my nexus 4 out the car door, and shattered the screen. Replaced it (at an expense of $180) and now it some how has another crack. Not sure how it happened but at least it still works.

I think my next phone will be something like a Moto G - less wallet pain for any accidents :)

I gave a call to my local apple store to see if they had any stock, but no :( it would be nice if they actually had stock when they launch a new phone. I'm thinking of going a 6+. I don't want a screen that big, the 6 is actually much better for size, but the better battery on the 6+ is really tempting.

Anyway, I guess I'll wait for the next lot of stock.

So after seeing a lot of iPhone 6+ users report their phones have bent in their pockets this bloke from Unbox Therapy did a bend test on the iPhone 6+.

[youtube] [/youtube]

Well its safe to say he copped a lot of flack for bending the iPhone in a fashion that might not be considered normal... So he did the same test on the Note 3. Im quite surprised by the result.

I've seen a few people have cracked their screens already too. Some people are either really unlucky or really rough with their phones.

Apple can't release an iPhone without a "-gate" :D Regardless, interesting to see where this goes cause apparently the iPhone 4, 4S, 5 and 5S had issues where they could be bent too. Then you've got users who's phone also bent but of course it didn't gain the same amount of attention as these phones got (e.g.: Oppo, HTC, BlackBerry, Samsung and Sony).
