I bought a HTC One M8 shortly after it came out and had it for a few days. I liked everything about it but I just found the apps to be lacking. That's my main sticking point. It's not that the apps don't work, it's that they don't feel as polished and well made, on average - not all of them. It just bothers me, it's like the Android apps aren't coded properly sometimes, and the animations feel a bit naff, even on some of the more popular ones, where on iOS it's more fluid and smooth.

If there was no difference, then I'd be quite tempted to get an Xperia Z3 over an iPhone, but I can't even consider it really as it stands. As I said though, take away the app difference and I still don't gain much out of Android, I grew bored of the customisation stuff a while back - it's still a positive for Android, but only if you want it.

I'm not saying the software is flawed and buggy, but for what I'm doing and the apps I use, the iOS versions are better.

I've got iOS 8 on my current 5s and iPad Air and it's working fine (bar a wifi issue which I fixed), but there have been more than a few problems with it, as we've seen. :p

All in all for what I want, the iPhone 6 (or Plus) is near on perfect. It ticks every single box.

Agreed with most of that. Android may have lots of apps but the quality just isn't up to standard compared to iOS or even WP, which has less apps but most a higher standard, especially games. I just moved from a One (M7) where many games weren't even playable because doc the resolution. They all appeared to be designed for screens with a far lower PPI, making the buttons just way too small to use.

Really? I was just thinking the opposite today. I was thinking how wonderfully smooth the screen is. How my finger glides effortlessly over the glass.

It's a lot more resistive than the One M7, to the point of being a bit annoying. That goes with the treacle like scrolling in Safari.

I'd hazard a guess it's the screen aspect ratio difference.

Yeah I did think about an AR difference but surely the minimum you expect from a phone is that the photos taken with it will fill the screen!! I wouldn't even care if they were slightly zoomed!!! I use the phone for work too to present my work to customers, hence my current slight irritation...

What, I've not found many apps on WP that are better then Android, anything cross platform is typically a year behind. Also not seen any issues that your saying about games, where this small crappy games?

With iOS vs Android I have found Android apps can have more features due to the OS, and iOS have things like better animations/design. With everyone iOS release they get more features e.g. finally have more searching options, and with ever Android release they get better design e.g. Android L has a huge amount of animations/transitions.

Photography is influenced by it's film based predecessors. 35mm film is 3:2. Digital SLR sensors are 3:2 to mimic 35mm film, most compact cameras and phone cameras) are 4:3 to match the non-widescreen monitors when they became popular.

The sensor is a circle, makes more sense to get a almost square image. If you want 16:9, then crop it. ;)
 
If you pinch the image, it will also zoom out slightly, rather than filling the screen with the image. So either do that, or shoot/crop into a 16:9 format.
 
Thanks for the suggestions boys, will try a few.

And I do currently present on an iPad and it's great, I was just hoping the 6+ would help me converge two devices into one!!

Or I may as well keep my HTC One and iPad :D

Argh, the 16GB 6+ keeps popping up as available at my closest store, with both grey and white at the next closest. WHY NO 64?! :(
 
Anyone here running Yosemite, my GF called me at work on Friday and my first thought was Eghh have to remove my headphones form my laptop, jack it into my phone, then talk and remove it later. Then pop comes the phone call on my Laptop, amazing. Handoff in generally is going to be the next big thing, and Google really needs to jump on that (using chrome).
 
Yeah it works really well. I'm impressed with it and I also like the fact I can respond to regular text messages via the Messages app, even if they didn't come through as an iMessage.
