Because I've had iPhones for years and I can admit that it's looking very much like Apple are falling behind android now.

Is that sarcasm? If you are that serious about those features, surely it'd be something you'd be doing as a job / hobby and as such you'd have a dedicated device that's made for that kind of thing? I cannot possibly imagine a phone with time lapse and 240fps is someone you'd use daily for that purpose. I mean seriously, your telling me you'd regularly strap your iPhone 6 to a tripod and leave it recorded a timelapse? You'd can't even stand it on its side anymore!
Besides, both those features are primarily software driven, so it's not exactly going to be long before android follows suit if they want to.

The incoming integration between Yosemite and iOS8 is reason enough for me to want to stay with an iPhone.
I had a music festival at my house and had to borrow works camera and set up time lapse on the stable roof....
I want a decent camera with fast focus fast load times HDR panorama etc???quality video that fits in my pocket...
What phone out now has the best camera ?

I was under the impression it wasn't an iPhone...? Isn't it one of the lumia's? Or supposedly the LG G3 has OIS, 13megapixels and a full feature set?
Soldato
But that's been removed from iOS 8 gm for the time being hasn't it? So Christ knows when it'll actually be released and work as intended!
I'm still waiting for Siri to be what was promised!
That is cool....the amount of times I've been on the ipad my phone rings and I don't know where it is...I could answer the call on my ipad? Very cool indeed.
I think a lot of the problems people face is that they don't really understand business.
I'm sure everyone can remember the old Western movies where you have some very clever confidence trickster selling a bottle of Elixir from the back of his wagon. The guy claims it will do everything from cleaning stains of your clothes to being an aphrodisiac.
Well basically business today is no different and Apple really are masters of the art, though as said all businesses do it.
They rely on a few things to be successful -(1) they have to carry you along with all the hype and (2) they rely on the fact that human beings love having new things, even if quite often they don't need them.
The keynote speech is today's equivalent of the guy shouting to the crowd off the back of his chuck wagon - it really is as simple as that. Apple simply need to carry everyone on their wave of anticipation.
I suspect that once the bills start to roll in a couple of months time many people will have buyers remorse. They will say to themselves what an absolute fool I was to spend all this money when I already had something that works perfectly well, or I should have bought something that wasn't going to land me with all this debt.
Will most people publicly admit to that - well of course they won't. Some really honest folk will, but most will silently grin and bare it vowing never to be so stupid again - until the next time.
I think you just have to recognise things like the Apple keynote speech for what they are i.e. huge selling opportunities. The internet has made this sort of hard sell much worse as it's instant live and global.
I'm sure lot's of people will reply as to why they haven't fallen for this, but we all fall for it at some time or another, whether it's Apple, other businesses or even politicians trying to get your vote.

The m8 camera just been reading up on is naff...
Soldato
Well, it does and it doesn't. It's an extra £80 and if you've not got it, you've not got it.
I'm not buying outright anyway.
The 6+ will quite possibly have the best all-round camera. In a point and shoot situation anyway.
The 64GB model is actually £10 cheaper than the 5S 32GB was, unless you're talking about the Plus which isn't really a direct comparison.

Guys, I'm tempted by the 6 Plus but I have a question if anyone knows the answer to it? If I get it sim-free from Apple and I insert say an O2 sim into it, will it be locked to that network? And if I ever need it unlocking, will the network do it?
thanks
thanks
Yeah...it's just to big for my pocket...it would probably pull my shorts down when camping....
If you buy it directly from Apple, SIM-free, it won't lock, ever.
