did they advertise battery life specs on the new iphones?
so if history serves me right with me 4, 4s, 5 and 5s multiply those number by .75 and i still cant get a full workday out of one unless i want the phablet edition

I hate the fact that android phones are using 1440p resolutions, I was so happy to see them use a common resolution and then to see them shit all over it just to have a check box marked off against apple ... useless, absolutely disappointed.

I sort of felt the same way until I started streaming videos on youtube at 1440p. Granted there aren't a ton of them but the ones that are, holy smokes they look nice. Very cool feature to show off to people.
It was the same when Android was the first to 720p, 1080p etc. Its not to compete against Apple, its progress.
Something Apple doesn't really care about (their niche i staking existing tech and polishing it) so they really shouldn't be mentioned.
Google does a terrible job of marketing and informing users. Apple as usual is great at polishing the experience and making it visible.
Of course it's for competition. Not just against Apple, but also other competitors in the Android arena (LG/Samsung/HTC/etc).
I agree that 720p was bound to happen (and even 1080p) but 1440p is absolutely a marketing gimmick that manufacturers are using to sell phones to people that tend to really care about spec sheets, which tends to be almost every phone geek your run into anymore. You might notice slightly better clarity I suppose, but the trade-offs can't be worth it IMO (heat generation, causing throttling, battery consumption and sub-par 3D performance)
I am glad, however, that this technology is being actively developed if for nothing else than the VR headset world. A 4K display @ 5-7" (give or take) would be fantastic for a future Occulus rift. On a 5.5" cell phone I'm having a tough time seeing the benefit (no pun intended)

I may pick one up to just resell it, brother in law has an old verizon iphone 4 that works and he doesn't use, verizon will give you $200 for it, I have an upgrade so I could get this for free. I would probably resell it as I want a develop edition phone and verizon doesn't sell those with contracts so basically I would use what I sold it for to buy a different phone out right.
same thing I did on S4 to get my 5S. Except, the value on S4 drops faster than a drunk girl's panty from the club.
Sounds too much like selective quoting.
There's a difference between "use with one hand" and "hold in one hand." The Verge wasn't saying that you can easily use the iPhone 6 Plus one-handed, just that it's not ungainly to grab.
I swear, the kremlinology that goes into trying to 'prove' a sinister, pro-Apple bias can be a bit much. Reminds me of the ridiculous conspiracy claims against the game industry lately.
Can you find an example where someone in the media claimed that the increased size is "magical" or "revolutionary"?...as soon as Apple put's similar Android features or upgrade the size on the iPhone, it's "magical" and "revolutionary".
Actually, what he said is that compared to "really giant Android phones", it's "not too bad". I imagine if he was enthused about the hand feel, he would've used a word like "good" or "great". And, compared to "really giant Android phones", like the Note 3, the 6 Plus isn't the "exact same size". The Note 3 is 151.2mm wide and 8.3mm thick, whereas the 6 is 158.1mm wide and 7.1mm thick. I'm not sure how differing dimensions could be construed as "exactly the same".Watch the iVerge video of hands on with the iPhone 6 Plus, the guy makes excuses right away on the size, saying Android phones feel huge and unwieldy, but somehow this iPhone 6 Plus at the same exact size is magically just fine.
Its not just Verge, most tech sites have a pretty obvious Apple bias and its not hard to see why when Apple PR spends so much money bribing them.
No need to go to a Verizon store. You can do it through their website or Apple.com.So right now my carrier is AT&T, but I want to pre-order an iPhone 6 Plus through Verizon tonight (want to switch to Verizon). Is that possible? Or do I have to go in-store to do this since Verizon is not my carrier.
If anyone has had a past experience with this please let me know. Thanks!

Honestly its not just one reviewer. In their review of the G3, Verge actually had the nerve to say the bezels were 'too thin'.
"A 5.5-inch smartphone, no matter how thin its bezels, presents ergonomic challenges that smaller devices don’t have to deal with"
The G3 is narrower than the 6+, yet they complained about it, while the 6+ is 'easy to hold' ??

Do Anandtech and The Verge not also cover Android news?In fact Android fan sites tend to give a much more fair overview since they are quite critical of Android devices and Google when needed and also cover Apple news.
