Your contacts will sync from your gmail account, and you can install the Google Music app onto the phone.

You are a total tool if you can't see anything good about the iPhone 6 and +
And you are back to yourself, talking utter rubbish and insulting people who call your BS.

I didn't say I hadn't seen anything good, so quit putting words in my mouth, I never said "A8 before A7" I said the Tech, not the hardware, that Apple have put on the IP6 is outdated and been on Android since 2012.

Stop behaving like an utter **** and arguing stuff I haven't said.

Not seen any Notes? Clearly Apple had, so much so they even copied it along with all the other Phablets.

I'm just getting down to you and your mates level, trying to ignore it and let the moderation team take care of it is a waste of time, so I'm giving what I get.

Tech/Hardware, you're going to have to be a bit more specific as to exactly what is from 2012 and what isn't.

I find it most amusing that just because Apple decide to use a bigger screen that's copying, yet the Note and pretty much all current and past Android phones are curiously similar to the iPhone. Pot Kettle me old china.

Here's the thing though, it's me who will get banned. Apple thread, feel free to slate Apple products and promote Android, call me what you want, full on admit that your only reason for being on the thread is to troll me, mod team will do nothing. Pretty sure I got banned for recommending someone "buy a mac" when they asked what computer to buy. Shocking bias.

Interesting comparison, one is a phone and the other is a tablet that shrunk in the wash.

Only an ifan would be able to tell you why you should pay 2.5 x for something 2.5 years newer that does the same thing!

No, you got banned on that thread as someone posted about their sun wanting to build his own windows-based PC for a few hundred quid....instead of helping you went on the usual 'buy a mac instead' diatribe. Not on topic at all and just trolling.

Crack on, you're just making yourself look a ****. Mods will do nothing even though you and your mate Cockforger openly admit to bashing and trolling.

no bashing here, i only bash back when you start to kick off, if you can't take it don't deal it, simple And anyway you do plenty of trolling yourself, if you think you don't then you're delusional as well as being a massive iSheep fanboy. It's all playful banter at the end of the day, i don't take it as personally as you seem to do. You need to relax a little mate

There's more to life than Apple, really there is. You are offering yourself up as a target because you clearly so passionate about it all and are like a dog with a bone. It's just a pity you're wrong
Look you tit, if you come to computer related to talk about subarus then you need to have a word, if you come here to talk about computing and don't expect to see Apple threads then you need to have a word, in fact, just have a word.

No, you jump on every Apple thread and start spouting tripe. What I'd like to see is fair treatment for everyone, starting with a ban for you and your mate up there.

No I don't and I haven't done anything to warrant a ban, but insulting someone, like you have to xline above is a good reason to.

Because it's not an Android device. Simples. I've used different devices on both platforms and the Apple products tend to be nicer. Simples.

Openly admitting to trolling Apple threads and me in particular, insults are plentiful from you and your mates.

Yep i enjoy it as i know you will always reciprocate, its just banter. But you really don't get it do you, you only got banned because multiple people complained and reported you (and no i wasn't one of them). So you must be doing something wrong? And they aren't my mates, i dont know any of them.

Bit harsh calling the IP5S a tablet shrunk in the wash after the whole waterproof spoof gag.

I don't need to refer to each point repetitively, the 2012 tech post is early in this thread, if you are hard of understanding, go read it rather than ask me to repeat the differences you cannot understand.

Actually, Apple copying Phablets was an ironic comment after all the petty lawsuits Apple have started about others copying them, so the pot/kettle thing was deliberate. I don't blame Apple making a phablet, it was an excellent idea and they stayed away far too long. Only dumbasses defended them not having one with stupid comments about it being a brick held up to the ear, most of them, I expect were early IP6+ adopters...

Probably the only reason you made this thread about "game changing" was you actually believed the IP6 would have that fold out holographic keyboard

I would also point out that there were quite a games in the S5 v M8 v IP6 comparison - as such it's unsurprising that it would take longer to load games as the M8 and S5 are loading at twice the resolution. We also both know that Android is the second platform for many game developers, and poor ports of otherwise well-performing iOS games are far from unusual.

I also just ran a tests myself on a couple of those apps - I don't know why they didn't on the S5/M8, but Temple Run simply resumed instantly when I went back to it; I even loaded Dead Space, Angry Birds, SpeedX and Earth before going back to Temple Run 2 and it resumed instantly. I can only assume the M8/S5 have more aggressive app-closing than standard, presumably to help preserve battery life?

Although I'm not sure why I'm wasting my breath telling you this - there's no possibility that you will accept any information that isn't 100% in agreement with your own stance.

You seem like you're backed up against the wall, your arguments have no substance and you're asking me to justify them for you.

I started this thread because it was a launch day for Apple, they launched the iPhone 6, 6+ and the game changer, the Watch. Give it a few years and you'll be wearing an Android version.

Yeah my back's against the wall.. The only way I would change my titanium watch for a smartwatch is if it can achieve the same, never need charging/winding. And when it weighs less than mine. So not in my lifetime then.
