Jack, when you do eventually get your iPhold next year, you'll be needing one of these;

That's what I don't understand! And think how many more they're selling than MacBook Air's.
Considering what hardware in a phone you can get for a third the price, it defies belief what apple get away with charging.
OnePlus One phone
5.5" 1080p IPS display (401ppi)
4g
3100mah battery
64gb
2.5ghz quad-core snapdragon
13mp camera
4k video capture
£270
Oppo Find 7
5.5" 2560x1440 IPS display (528ppi) - that's 127ppi more than 'retina'
2.5ghz Quad-core snapdragon
13mp camera (with 50mp stitch mode)
4k video capture
£380
Ipone 6 plus
5.5" 1920x1080 display (401ppi)
A8 Chip
8mp camera
1080p video
64gb
£699
128gb
£789
Having owned iphones I do know that they work nicely, but what I'm getting at is the hardware. It seems to me apple get away with charging £400-£500 for their IOS really.
I mean, apple must be one of the largest producers of a single model, if not the largest producer. With volume comes discount, so if OnePlusOne can make a far smaller amount of devices and charge a 3rd the price, you'd think apple could produce the device for far less than oneplusone.
And how they get away with some of the faults is incredible! Like I said earlier, I've been a fan of the phone since the first ever sturdy metal version. When they released the iphone 4, just by holding it you could lose signal due to bridging the metallic edging. Apple's response.. Just deal with it and put a bumper on it. I refused to buy the iphone 4 due to their stance and arrogance, when they sorted it with the 4S I made the upgrade then. Now you've got the new thin bendy 6. I don't like the new size anyway.
Another thing that really annoys me is the IOS upgrading making older models struggle. I had to remove most of my videos and half my music today just to upgrade the poxy IOS. It's like they make every new update another nail in the coffin of the previous model.

Battery life has fallen through the floor on my work issued 5C.
I'm an Android user primarily, but I've never owned a droid that can match the various iPhones I've had on battery life.
Until now!

Really? the S5 for example blows away any iphone on battery use. The 6 is still at the bottom of the battery test charts as well unfortunately.

But the S3, S4 and Nexus 5 that I've all had recently have all struggled to run a full day of what I would refer to as "heavy" use. My iPhone 5C prior to IOS8.X though could truck along for a couple of days... not anymore.
I do a lot of flying, and sitting around in airports so my phones do get a fair stretch - with lots of 4G Hotspotting for my Laptop and stuff like that.
I'll always be an Android fanboy though, battery life aside - the phones have always been a pleasure to use rather than the frustration I get with IOS.

Nothing abnormal though, just screen, safari, etc... the stuff I'd expect from just sitting on my phone browsing etc.
It's a new iOS 8 feature, like I said. Just like bigger screens are an iPhone 6 feature, even though my iPad has had one for years.
Some more obvious bull**** http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/...ds-google-play
2012 was the new IP6 features, hardware is newer, but see how it fairs against the Note 4, as the Note 3 Pummelled the IP5S.
IP6 screen and camera are still crap, cpu does well seeing as its alot less powerful than top of the range android snappy dragons, thats it.
IP5s better than current android phones? hahahaha utter cack.

You are a total tool if you can't see anything good about the iPhone 6 and +
You're learning, big numbers don't automatically mean better. Now,tell me troll, how the camera is crap? Trusted reviewers have a different opinion.
What would I need a loan for? I can afford this crap, I just chose not to buy it.
I did, however, buy one for the missus as a surprise present because I thought she'd appreciate being "hip", "cool" & "trendy" like various of her friends that rave about the things. She said it was a complete and utter waste of money and asked me never to do it again.

Well I've got an iPhone 6 Plus 64GB on the way along with an Urban Armor Scout Rugged case as well.
Is there an easy way to import all my Google contacts into my Apple account, plus I'm assuming that if I download all my Google Play music onto my PC then iTunes will pick it up and import it into my music library?
