Oh great, an iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

On a more serious note, they look good.

And most likely made of Tupperware boxes, so it feels cheap and nasty. A mate of mine has a nexus 7 which although a reasonable piece of kit, was made of plastic Vauxhall would be proud of.

You're afraid the masses will rise up and snaffle your market share

Yeah they just decrease the battery size to make it lighter, then release a "+" version with a normal battery lol!

Careful son, it's five years on now and still iPad has no real competition, stick to phones, bit more believable.

The Nexus 4 and 5 have terrible battery life and not great cameras so they've never appealed to me. The 6 will need to be a massive improvement over the 4 and 5 to get a decent market share however i've heard the pricing on the 6 is going to be way more than previous models due to the improved hardware so that then puts them up against all the premium models which Google have tried to substantially undercut previously.

They are going head to head with the iphone 6+ and the Note 4 so that's going to take some doing.

Never really had a problem, and nor has my wife (N5 and N4 respectively) - I used to consistently get 40+% battery at the end of the day, even playing games for a couple of hours on the train.

These days I have a wireless charger both at my desk and by my bed, so it's virtually always charged up - just pick it up and away I go!

I got the daughter a Nexus 5 whilst her iphone waited for a replacement battery!

The camera was as good as the 5 and 5s for quality and battery was more than comparable.

Do not believe this, so many people heard the same then were disappointed, if you want something that's as good as an iPhone buy an iPhone.
