Spec fight: New iPhone 6 vs. the best new Windows Phones

Just to clarify something, Apple should not be able to claim that they are NFC enabled.  They have an NFC chip that is ONLY for their Apple Pay.  Since you (or really developers) don't actually have access to the full NFC capabilities, then they should just so no to the NFC in Apple phones.

I read the article this morning where Apple clarifies that NFC will only be used for Apple Pay, and thought, "of course they would". This is Apples style. Now I hope all articles written with little charts comparing devices to the iPhone 6 will remove NFC from the iPhone 6, like the above one.

Iphone 6 Remain in the queue....

Let me win this thing aaaargghhh!

I want to win! plsssssssss

They are very thin :o

I'd like to see a thinner version of the 930 to "fight" these, perhaps a 935 similar to the 920/925.

With a Glance screen ofc!

definitely lumia 930

Lumia is the best 

I was using Burst mode to take pics of my kids at the grand canyon. I was using my old 625. A crowd gathered around me asking if I was using the new iPhone... I said its WindowsPhone and they all moved away. Sometimes it does not matter how good something is, if its not hip they don't get it. Unless you are an isheep then its actually hip to be different.

The iPhone 6 series suck. This really shows how Apple is desperate and with lack of innovation their new phones are BS. I still like the 5S. 

There is an incorrect spec for the Lumia 1520 , it doesn't have Qi wireless charging. At least not built in. 

It's not just a matter of speeds and feeds, it's how well they are designed, integrated, how they feel and how productive you can be. For instance, iPhone pictures are arguably the best amongst all phones, including Lumia's with 41 megapixel cameras compared to the iPhone's 8 megapixel camera.

http://blog.laptopmag.com/iphone-5s-vs-lumia-1020-camera

It's things such as this that caused Apple's  and some of the carrier's websites to go off-line under an overwhelming demand for the iPhone 6.

On the top of this, Iphone's price keeps on... haha soaring high, as usual.

If you look closer before iPhone 6 is out, NFC pubic parking has been out for ages in San Francisco, CA. Have you try it with Lumia? One thing is iPhone is still outdated with Bluetooth file transfer and Miracast(Wi-Fi)

oh wp simply suck if u guys simply compare phone by spec.

that what happened to me when i compare spec ...

i ended with my stupid lumia 920. 

seriously guys...the hardware mean nothing actually if the very basic requirement that needed for a phone cant be delivered.

what is the use of super RAM or 20mp camera??? if the apps it self suck

when was the last time u guys scrool and look at the pictures that u guys took???

most of the apps inside WP suck and it doesnt perform well as much as android or ios... i mean the very basic apps. like whatapps, and even facebook

u can brag about how ur 1520 or any or ur phone spec. but reallity is that how strong ur phone might perform if i cant even open facebook app (i been experiencing no data since last week) so what is the purpose having good spec but yet the phone failed to deliver the basic quality of an apps.

actually the iPhone 6 is better than others interm of the Screen Technology. IPS LED saves more battery life than IPS LCD. 

Yeah, watching the Apple keyote last night with an Apple fan friend was weird.  You see, I switched from iOS in Dec of 2013 for a Lumia 1520.  And the iPhone 6 plus was clearly the future (odd name IMO).

Yet, in my hand was essentially what they were all clamoring for.  A bigger phone!  With NFC!  Longer battery life!  Better camera! 

My friend kept asking me if the 1520 was this, or that, and had this or that.  Answers were yes 99% of the time since he didn't trust the payment thing.  Too funny!    At the end he admitted that Apple was seriously behind Nokia and Samsung in some very key areas.  He'll still buy one though.  He wants the bigger one, but can't admit it (to himself) just yet.  Hilarious! 

Definitly looking forward to a 830!! Then my entire family will have winpho!

Still waiting on the surface Phone to knock iPhone out of the water

last year or a few year ago ( idon't remember when is ) apple say that "who's use NFC?" and suggest to their user that use apple Airdrop(i don't remember too :D) !!

and yesteday apple used NFC !

it's a great poltics that when you haven't some thing so destroyed  anyone that have it !

Real proud I can held my beautiful yellow Lumia 1520 against any iPhone 6 user and say "Beat you!"

Its going to sell like crazy.....

I love my windows phone, but Nokia sucks as far as device availability.  Nokia and others need to learn something from Apple.  Announce the new device, then within days make it available on all US carriers.  That means NO exclusives, and no waiting months for the device to finally be released.

I see you put availability, but you are missing so data.

iPhone 6 & 6+ carriers: ALL US CARRIERS :)

Lumia 830 Carriers:  Only AT&T announced so far :(

HTC M8 Carriers Verizon ONLY now & maybe AT&T in the future :(

Lumia 930 Carriers: Verizon EXCLUSIVE :(

Lumia 1520 Carriers: AT&T EXCLUSIVE :(

yay! on more row of icons!!!!

seems faster....

Bottom line: Compare iPhone 6 to Lumia 1520, Lumia wins by ALOT. No fanboys here, look and compare the specs yourself.

It's not about spec... OS, ecosystem, exclusive apps, 4 years support , the best mobile UI/UX, clear & sharp images.. Blablabla...

I really really really want the iwatch so I think that I will switch my Lumia 920 for an iPhone. I got a mac and an iPad so all of the synchronize thing really matters to me. Also, I wanted a Windows phone because of the nice system and the camera. Now the iPhone has more features than what my 920 can get and the system is just boring.

IPhone 6 plus looks really good. I like that it has landscape support.

The amusing thing is that you could probably buy a 32GB 1520 off-contract with a 128GB SD card for the same price as an iPwn 6 Plus 128GB...you'd own the phone, not have additional monthly subsidy charges and not be limited to your phone's internal memory...

Cue Mr. T: I pity the fool that buys the 16GB iPwn...

From a design point of view its nothing to be so excited about. Feels like ïts been done before". There nothing much to wow about. What I do like about it is the landscape home screen and the ability to use landscape mode and have apps adjust accordingly and use all that screen space wisely. Kudos for all those apps. Yes apple has a large app store with a lot of apps but that not a biggie. NFC after so many years. I'm sure the guys and gals at apple figured out they had to add NFC or else customers would find no reason to buy an apple product.

Who cares...

iPhone 6 Plus for Windows, it wasn't announced.;)

Two words: Rip Off

From what I can see SPEC wise, Apple's new iPhone 6 Plus doesn't have anything about it that would take me away from my Lumia Icon. The Icon is the twin to the 930 so specs for the Icon are identical to the 930. In fact, the Icon (and 930) has a higher ppi (441 to 401), more RAM (2GB vs 1GB), higher megapixel camera (20MP vs 8MP) with better f-stop (f/2.4 vs. f/2.2), wireless charging capabilities, a larger battery and costs $200 less on contract. Try borrowing a friend’s charger because you left your proprietary lightning port charging cord at home, oops! iPhone can't use mini-USB charger. This is true for a lot of accessories to the iPhone; they are expensive and too proprietary.

Outside of the physical factors, iOS8 operating system is still way too proprietary! Try hooking your iPhone 6 Plus up to a computer and manipulating your pictures, music, or videos, you can't without iTunes, and we all know how ridiculous that process is. Want to listen to your local FM radio station to pick up the local football game? Better hope your buddy has a Lumia Icon handy, because the iPhone 6 Plus doesn't have an FM antenna.

Now let's get to that new NFC payment thing. There is a potentially real problem I see with Apple's NFC payment, at least here in the United States. AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon have all been working together on their own payment plan software (formerly called ISIS, but changed due to the terrorist thing). I think Apple might run into a bit of a conflict with the carriers in the US over their version of the software in that the U.S. Carriers may team up and not allow Apple to use their software on their network. They may force everyone on their network, regardless of what type phone you have to use their software instead. If that is the case, then what good does Apple's proprietary software do for anyone in the U.S.? You won't be able to use it here.

Apple has nothing without Steve jobs.

The normal iphone 6 is very nice, even better than 930 (would run wp8 great).  Im not sold from squared apple watch, ill wait for windows watch instead..

You know you could pay whit lumia 920...but it doesnt work anywhere...Not sure if it will start supporting the new Nfc payment devices here in Finland

Let's not forget Apple doesn't wait on carriers when they release updates.

Same old.

And my Bluetooth with Cortana kicks a gimmicky watch to the curb. One press and it will read/send texts, make and receive calls, open apps, play music etc etc.

So, £216 for sad watch or £16 for a Bluetooth headset? But forgot, iSheep like to overpay lol

There watch looks amazing. Best looking smart watch out there

Dear iPhone 6 users, welcome to 2012! :)
http://m.9gag.com/gag/a2Pd4bw?ref=fb.s

i6 is a piece of shit

Soooo... is the camera on those new iPhones Ari Partinen's creation/idea? :D

I don't think of iPhone 6 nor iPhone 6 Plus at all ;)

Apple didn't need to blow anyone's mind... they just needed to give them peace of mind.  The Iphone 6 and 6+ are both fantastic looking and honestly blows away anything Nokia is putting out.  I mean... thank God for HTC. 

I owned the HTC M7 One for over a year and being a windows phone guy... this was the best phone I've ever had... period, point blank.  Better than the HTC Titan, Lumia 900, and Lumia 920.  Recently I gave it up for the 1520 and Oh My Georgeous Screen is it awesome.  Microsoft does Bluetooth Voice Response like no other.  The Reminders are fantastic.  It's just a really good device... but it's so damn big.  So I'm probably going to go with the HTC One for Windows on AT&T when it finally gets ported over... But I'll be honest and say that I'll be taking a nice long look at the Iphone 6.  I've never hated Apple products... I did hate it's reliance on Itunes... but my only gripe with apple has always been the size of the screen.  The 4.7" is a great size.

Again... thank god for HTC but with a slew of friends getting Iphones... I'll have my hands on and then make my decision.

iPhone always looks the same in its line of generation, boring attire.

Apple flagship-phone with 1 GB ram, no thanx.
I'll stick with my Lumia.
WP Store has all the apps I need, so another reason not to change.
In Belgium we buy phones without contrat so a Iphone for €700-€800 or a Lumia 830 for €399 or a Lumia 930 for €460, another easy choice.
Me first phone was a Nokia 5110, almost 20 years ago, they (Nokia Phones) never let me down during the past 20 years, very good build quality, great support,...
So I stick with Lumia :)
 

Fantastic Apple,always one step ahead,!

YOU KNOW WHAT? I DONT FUCKING CARE ABOUT CORTANA OR SIRI.I DONT OFTEN USE VOICE.

THE ONLY THING I CARE ABOUT IS APP. I NEED APPS,MORE APPS,FRESH APPS,NICE APPS.

IPHONE 6 IS UGLY AS A SHIT, BUT PEOPLE DONT FUCKING CARE, COZ IT HAS ALL THE APPS THAT PEOPLE NEED.

EVEN I WRITE A BLOG NEED THE FUCKING APP. WP DONT HAS THAT APP, BUT IOS HAS.

EVEN WP IS FASTER, BUT IT HAS NO APP TO RUN. LOL.

I GONNA SWITCH MY LUMIA 920 TO IPHONE 6 ANYWAY, NO MATTE THE 6 LOOKS LIKE A SHIT.

The iPhone health app look similar to the Bing health.

Wow really impressed! Apple really overcame themselves! They made this year's iPhone with minor improvements and new stuff, with just a higher price to squeeze off those Idiots! Well done Apple!(?)

M8 kills all of them.I am a Nokia fan but currently M8 is my favourite.

Barometer? Why..?

if i just look at the specs lumia 1520 is the best :D

Each has its own Pros and Cons. Everybody looks better on their own way. Over all I see Lumia 1520 & 930 takes down everything hands down.

In official site of Windows phone. They mentioned that it is available for $199 that is ₹12000 is it correct?

Can't Windows phones with NFC pay with NFC?

Surprisingly weak specs on iPhone6/6+. Love their cam speed and display is always top notch, but total quality of camera capture is lacking... and yes, 20mp on my Icon (929) makes a difference. Was expecting bigger news from Apple. Can't compare to my Icon for camera, and mics on Icon blew iPhone away for audio recording, and apparently will continue to blow them away.
One complaint, I *joked* a couple of months ago saying, "Just watch, there'll be a new iPhone before I get (non preview) 8.1/Cyan. It was a joke...yet here I am. Meh.
BTW, anybody else amazed at how little Apple tried to smooth the UI? Are they really that unaware of how that is where they fall behind the most? Overall, I'm underwhelmed... and was actually expecting to be impressed. They have bigger phones and somehow managed to not fit much more in them.

Why is the 830 on there? It isn't close to being a flagship!

wow.  outdated before it's even out..

I going with the iPhone 6 too.  Like the convenience of unlocked phone and the iPhone has all the radio frequencies for the U.S. and international inside the phone.  Plus, you have the apps and the Apple retail store and tons of accessories to choice from.  I missed my iPhone 5S when I sold it and went with the 521.  I like the experience; but now it back to the high end phones again.  I going with the 4.7" iPhone 6 since it is the right size for me to carry around in my pocket and my hand is smaller then average size. 

I going have to buy it at the end of November for the "unlocked model".  I had that model and sold it for a little more then I purchase it!  Very nice indeed!

Looking forward for 1020 successor

If i were to summarize, I would say Apple 6 and 6s has better processors (A8 - 64bit). Even though this is an apple (the fruit) to orange comparison, but still Snapdragon 800 with its 32bit architecture is on the slower side. Also it has much more apps and unfortunatley, there can be no arguments here. Not to mention that Apple service is head and shoulders above any other player, even if their paid service is far more expensive.

Lumia advantage is the price, camera and battery life. Apple may claim of its bigger pixels etc. (HTC too has it by the way), but for a non-geek like me, the difference in picture quality of iPhone 5 vs. Lumia flagships is recognizable. In terms of price or battery life, there can be no argument whatsoever. 

Finally it comes to the little things which cannoe be neglected. Those are options for memory cards, customization, file downloads and transfers etc. I think this is where windows does a better job than iOS which way too restrictive for me.

P.S. Anyone has any clue about the new apple screen - the ion strengthened glass?

My body is ready for the iPhone 6! Goodbye Lumia 1020

No matter how the specific comparison IOS and WP is.Think about all applications for WP are still falling behind deal to the version update.MS is developing WP 8.1.2 and WP 9.But applications are slowly update.Do you agree the most of IOS and Android applications are always up to date and left WP apps behind.How long does it takes for WP to reach them?

I give the credit to apple. The know how to put the ios and hardware play together. Don't get me wrong I'm Microsoft 100% but this darn "resuming" in the middle of the screen is making me look the other way. Any way everything looks more complicated you have like 100 "cool features" and you only use 3 the others are to complicated to handle on the phone.

Lumia 720 or 625, it's an iPhone ;)

For stats and price, definitely the L930 for me. I thought Apple was going to come out with something a little more but I guess not. I guess the larger screen and change of screen is their big thing (NFC isn't a big deal to me but I'm sure it is for some people and/or businesses). I know the Apple app store has more than the windows phone still does, but the windows app store actually has all of the apps that I personally use with the exception of WatchESPN. Finally got a Sunday Ticket app. As of right now I am still loving my L920 with Cyan/Win8.1wU1 and I am holding out for the next big windows phone made by Microsoft that will be on AT&T. I'm assuming I'll have to wait until next year as I have only heard of the L930 and L830 this year.

   Specs wise, I'm not impressed. Of course, I never really have been with the iphone upgrades. This is only bringing bigger screens to the table, everything else is either on par with or still lagging behind WP8 and Android but I can almost guarantee that this will be the "best selling iphone of all time." Sad but true.

240fps at 720p is nice. Not enough to justify buying one but I'd slap someone if the successor to the 1020 had 41mp and high speed video. :D

Although I am using WP, I have to admit that only Apple have the power to change the industry by creating new flow to do what others are doing.

NFC is old but only Apple can make it to mainstream as 'default' for all phone. Many Android phone still lack of NFC.

So Iphone 6+ $300 Applewatch $350, what else? I mean $700+ (after taxes) for what? for what? Thanks I wait till Christmas for the ATT M8 or something else wp8 with a better camera and more powerful specs than a bigger IPhone with moderate upgrades, NFC, and Camera stabilization. Not a Fan of the New Stuff

To all those people saying there's no upgrade to the 920 yet worth upgrading too, as I've been already saying, yes there is, the 930! The 930 has better display, more RAM and better camera than the 920 and even the iPhone6+!Everyone who thinks MS haven't released anything decent hasn't tried the awesome 930.

i do not watch anything new or any innovation,   if now with the iphone 7 they add FM radio  how the press would treat that? as the latest innovation that  have an FM radio tuner?

iCrap

They all die when submerged in water, just like us.

Watched most of the Apple thing today....Yea, iPhones are just copying everythign everyone else is doing but, putting their own spin on it, of course they re-invented the wheel but, as most android and WP users know, that is BS... 

iPhone 6/6+ looks slim and slick, a lot thinner than anything Nokia makes...(prove me wrong). iOS is iOS the same old icons, just a sea of icons...it never impressed me when it was released and still to this day, does not.

About the only innovative thing was the watch, some of the features on that DID(note:very hard to do) impress me (and if you know me, you know I HATE apple), Something of the sort I have been dreaming of for Windows Phone (a seemless watch, like it's part of WP, not just a 3rd party interface made to be compatable) but, we still dont have a smartwatch that fully works with WP yet....and if there is one its very buggy....and not seamless.

I really hope MS does something in the Smartwatch thing...

Millions of Apple fans will now be standing in line for days waiting to spend huge amounts of money so they can all have the exact same device as 200 million Chinese peasants.  Dontcha just love it?

Lol with all the sapphire exaggeration..

So... basically a Nokia Lumia 925 is a hipsters iphone6, right? :D

The only phone I am waiting to see is the m9.

Posted via Windows Phone Central App

Lumia 1520 is still #TheBoss eventhough it was released nearly a year ago 

Well I don't believe compare specs are good idea when we are talking about iPhone and Windows phone, because we already know how wonderful is a iPhone and Windows phone in all models. I guess compare usability is better for these phones, so we have to wait this phone launch and compare them usability like battery duration, speeds to run the same app and etc

+930

one thing i like is that they have different models with different hard drive sizes available to consumer since they don't have micro sd

Spec sheet has a mistake, Lumia 1520 has 802.11 AC, not just limited to N. Nice read, thanks.

Lumia 1520 uses 802.11ac as well.

http://www.nokia.com/global/products/phone/lumia1520/specifications/

Wow for $66 more you get SD800, 20MP Pureview camera, 16GB more internal storage, better quality screen and a proper FF 720p camera to boot.

830 needs a price drop big time!

As I type this on my Surface Pro, staring down, sadly, at my Lumia 900 forever frozen in its moribund 7.8 OS, I can only wonder what might have been had I switched platforms.  The new iPhones are quite nice -- and I definitely want that watch.  About time Apple used a larger screen.  But please MS for the love of Gd, tell me why, after +6 months in the US market I still I cant buy a f*cking unlocked Lumia Icon for AT&T/GSM, (only a greymarket Euro 930 instead)? -- Why has Nokia/MS introduced no other new flagship phones in what seems an eternity at this point? The new iPhone6/Watch release only makes the sting that much worse.  We WP hold-outs are cut out of most new phone apps (Not even Grindr....LOL) and hardware (Square for WP?  Noooooo...) and now, worse, all we seem to be treated to are lower and mid-grade WP releases.  Cheapo Lumia 530s etc may drive more WP sales, but they're nothing to crow about when compared to the iPhone.  Can MS even conceive of releasing a Lumia Smartwatch?  Perhaps in three more years we can expect one to be released...  Sad, sad day. :(       

But the OS is still...meh

I want news and social in my face with out having to click an icon or pull down a notification window.

I see no inovation here and it's not worth (IMOP) the no contract  price of almost $500 over the 1520.3 to buy the 124GB version.

I'd rather buy an Ipad mini.

Well, the looks though are amazing guys!

Whish we had such a sexy Lumia. A new 925 would do the trick.

Disappointed, would keep my WP any day

They have a 32GB version of the 1520. I'm using one right now. I bought it from ATT. They just have to order it. They don't keep it in stock in stores. Plus, you can add 128GB with an SD card.

Suddenly Lumia 830 seems so flagshippy. :-)

Apple is just joking..

128GB iP6+ for only 999€ in Europe.. that's just $1299....

16GB version of iP6+ is/will be totally useless.. every apps with higher resolution is bigger... maybe iP6 is usable with that memory... 

32GB should be minimum....

Camera seems the same to me if you remove their marketing bullshit. Same spec for double the price of a Windows Phone. Plus you need to have everything from Apple which means you cannot even use the feature that comes with your smart TV such as Bluetooth to listen music or miracast to share video or your smartphone screen. You also need all your friends on Apple device if you want to share pictures using Bluetooth without jailbreaking your iPhone. So yes iPhone is definitely not for me

Posted via Windows Phone Central App

My 1520 smokes that thing. Nice. :)

I'm seriously tired of waiting after Microsoft, for FLAGSHIP Windows Phone, I'm buying the iPhone 6 Plus this fall. I'll still keep my Lumia 630 though.

I hate to say it but I think I'm going iPhone, not that anyone cares or want to hear it.  I have been MS 100% since the Zune but I'm tired of waiting.  There has been no new WP devices in Canada since the 1020 (have 920 now).

I know I'd miss WP, I love being able to drill down into apps and pin things.  And Cortana is awesome, but I want something lighter and has more of the apps I actually need.  Don't care about social apps or games, I need a phone that helps me with my job. Cisco VPN support is a big one for me.

It's really frustrating because WP is really very good, but so far there isn't the right device for me, I'd get a 930 if I could, but it doesn't look like it or the HTC M8 will make it to Canada.

The fanboyism in these comments is appalling. Anyone who thinks that the 6xx class of Windows Phones can touch the iPhone 5S (let alone the 6 or 6 Plus) needs to see himself out, because that's utterly ignorant. Oh, and the 730/735 and the 830 run the same SoC as the 630, so those would get blown out of the water by the iPhone 6 as well.

I don't own a single Apple product. I've never had one, and I almsot certainly never will. However, I have enough of a brain to acknowledge that Microsoft put a total turd of a SoC in the Lumia 830, while Apple's boasting a modern smartphone SoC to put up against the 630/730/830 SoC that runs like something from 2012.

My new L930 it's perfect :))))) I'm really surprised with this phone, and the gorgeous display. Go to hell AppleSame :P

Guys we can debate this all day but come on. Apple is getting cars hard coding their computers to it. Now that's market share. Ford is dropping Microsoft for sync which will hurt its prospects in vehicles....not saying I will go Iphone but comparing them is a waste of time.

Tbh, the specs aren't actually that great are they? But what I do like, as mentioned by others above, is that Apple has announced, Apple says available from and it is whereas WP announces, we wait and wait, US gets it first depending on network and we, everywhere else still waits.....

I think its safe to say the iPhone 6 unveiling was pretty bad. Its safe to say the top tier of the Windows Phone heap is better. I have the Icon and the base specs alone are superior.

I liked the watches (to the point that I wished MS would release one or partner with someone to do it for them), but nothing about the phones made me think once about getting one.

Say what you want about Apple but a least know the price, release date, and which carriers it's going to be on. Right now I have no idea when the 830 is going to come out or if it's going to be on T-Mobile. Sure if it isn't I can buy it unlocked but $433 is WAY too much for that phone considering I can get a 930 on Expansys for $550 right now. 

IPhones has all the apps you'll ever need and so a larger screen is all they really needed. WP can't even get a glide app

I am so frigging glad apple has finally gotten on the NFC bandwagon this should mean that we'll get a plethora of NFC enabled accessories finally.

I'm excited for the new iPhone tbh. New stuff is fun. PS... I love any Windows phone more :)

Yawn. Wake me up when the 1030 gets here...

Start rant...
IPhones are still shit.
End rant...

congratulation to apple - and shame to MS. 64 and 128GB - wow

Wake up Microsoft :(

I´ve got the 930, amazing phone but he whole time i have to sort out my pictures and vids, and I have to take care not to collect too much music on the phone :(

But, no reason to switch to Fruits and  iOS :)

Really good phones which iPhone users will enjoy immensely. It has to make owners of Windows Phone flagship devices smile and chuckle though. And if even higher resolution gets supported this fall its going to be even better devices.

I like the thin iPhone 6. I wish Microsoft or whoever makes wps would make a beautifully made thin phone like apple.

So when Lumia has camera bulge, it's lame and amateurish. When iPhone has the same thing, nobody mentions anything. I see how it is.

My 1520's screen just got broken though it is still functional (I'm actually typing my comment using it). However, I was already entertaining the idea of switching to iphone6 plus. Then again, when I saw the design... Damn... Im gonna stick with my 1520 until a new super high end lumia phone comes out next year.

IPhones dead cba with them

.

I am thinking of leaving also I was disappointed in the last 2 phones announced once I had the 41 megapixel camera, I didn't mind the apps I found the ones I needed but I did enjoy not having to lug my DSLR around if I didn't need it for a special occasion the phone did the job wonderfully. I have a contract that is up right now and even if they say more megapixels might be coming it is the MIGHT that makes me want to try something new. I was with Apple for 7 out of their 8 phones and never had issues with them except for size and now they have the size but I am also considering the Note 4 again due to size 

I just... I just don't know why Apple is sill a thing.

My Icon still beats it.  Everything and wireless charging.

I'm getting an iPhone 6 Plus when it's released. Why? Because I'm in Canada and I can't get a 1520-5 in a store. There's been no mention of its successor or its availibity in Canada. No sense in wasting any more time on maybe. The 6 Plus looks good to me.

It is all about HOW you present it, not WHAT the specific specs are.

Now that the specs are out and this phone's official, the competitors can begin one uping iPhone 6's spec in other categories.

I have had a Focus, 900, 920, 928 and currently the 1520.. I love my 1520 .. But seriously .. I would take the iPhones sub par specs for just a banking app and maybe clash of clans on this platform .. Its getting hard to keep fighting for this platform when nobody wants to write apps for it and also the other half that do don't even state it on their commercials. Not to mention it seems like MS has more focus on other platforms then their own .. I'm not jumping ship but I want a watch and apple now has set the bar high so what the hell Microsoft step up your damn game.

ill take wireless charging anyday.

Fuck em.. 1520 hulk for the win!

The number one feature the iPhone 6 has vs any of the Lumias: available within 10 days of the big announcement event.

They were losing the size war. They saw it last time and thought a band aid would help. As for the spec list something Apple has always done is offer choice in storage. Why do I have to choose a high spec phone with limited storage or lower features and expandability. Apple has always offered 1-2 phones in 16, 32, 64 and now 128gb. Why can't I choose a 930 with either 32 or 64gb? Why would I have to move to the phablet or lower specs to get additional storage?

To have a fair comparison, wait till the next WP flagship. The iphone is only once a year .

It seems faster.

Some good features, but lets be honest a bit late to the party. The rest is pulled from the previous iphone. Only one or two good new features not copied from android or WP in my opinion and those are OS based.

Don't forget the 4K video on the 1520 and 930. It's as much vaporware as all of the Apple specs at this point.

They copied the design of my 925

Как всегда просто кусок!! Г...а!!! WP рулит!!

I think the iPhone 6 looks awesome,but that said,I'm not so sure about the camera protruding on the back,too much like the iPod touch 5g & that is taking a step back in design for me. I'll have to wait until I can get one in my hand before I decide on that.

One of the best keynotes I've seen.

I think they're too big. If Apple also announced a version of the 6 that was essentially the same as the 5S, but with the styling of the 6 and the newer, more advanced technology and features, then I'd be satisfied. But even if that happened, Windows Phone is still better than iOS.

Like most over here, as a tech enthusiast Im disappointed that apple brought nothing new, in fact the iPhone 6 its no better than a mid-range specked android device. I mean no full HD? No expandable storage? Less than 2,000mAh battery? And the best stunt that they mention their chip as a 64bit chip, but they only have 1GB of RAM.
Only a fan boy will pay $700 for this overpriced phone. The iPhone 6 Should be priced at $399.

I wish Lumia Denim brought slo mo 120 fps shooting to the Icon, 930 and 1520!

Lumia and WP did nfc and ois before it was cool.

you forgot to mention the front camera

all we need to be the best is

waterproof and wireless charging

I hate spec fights. Who cares?

IPhone 6 plus vs Lumia 1520 please

Cant live with out wireless charging or live tiles, till then Apple can kiss my 920s backside.. Lol... Im guessing in a couple years wireless charging will reach apple world and the world of sheep will stand still and bow down to the creator of all things technological and great.. Haha

Looking even gloomier for an update from Sprint for the Neo. Still on 8 GDR2.

Meh .......

Since I am an iOS developer, I am thinking on getting one. Love my 1020 though :D might use it as just an amazing point and shoot .

No one I know likes a big iPhone. Of course now that it's released those Apple fans will conveniently change their minds.

My take is that you need to get the Plus version for any technological advances equivalent to the top Android or Windows Phone devices.

Lastly, with Apple (and any new model device) I wait until the second iteration (in Apple's case the "s" version next year).

Forget about that iWatch.

Is it me or the 1520 still the best ?

Subsidized 2-year-contract iPhone 6 Plus with 128GB storage and only 1GB RAM costs $500 compared to $100  (+ a little more for 128GB SD card) for an on-contract Nokia Lumia 1520.  And iPhone 6 Plus has only an 8MP shooter. RIDICULOUS.

i think iPhone is nice.. im sure its gonna be blazing fast.. dont even look at the specs.. A7 was very powerful but iPhone has the best GPU! games gonna look awesome.. its gonna take awesome pictuers too plus they get the best APPS! but i still think its WAY OVER PRICED! this is how they make billions of dollars in profit!

So what's the difference between the Proximity sensor and the Barometer?

The only thing I liked in this event was the slow-motion that's it!
I mean s800 is capable of doing that right so why not do that? I want them with GDR2 update so please Nokia do it
1080@60fps
720@120fps
720@240fps...!

Here's what I think: LOL!

IPhone 6 is a flop

This is the first iphone that I've thought the design of was a bit boring. It just looks like any other smart phone.

But Apple do seem to be good at making their phones lighter than everyone else.

no mention of battery life, gee i wonder what that means lol. looking at you too apple watch haha.

I am sure my 1520 can beat the crap out of not only iPhone 6 but iphone7 as well :D
Apple should learn from Nokia how a smartphone should be made.
Come denim update and Google's ass will be on fire.
About the iwatch, all I can say is it sucks. Microsoft's rumored wearable will be a killer.

The 6 Plus is definitely better than the 6, but the Lumia 1520 is the way to go!!!!

What was messed-up is that you couldn't watch the live stream if you weren't rockin' a Mac or iPad. Thankfully MaximumPC had it on their site. Fortunately I didn't have to listen to the drivel of the Apple Cult leader and was listening to the MPC editorial staff comment on what was being presented. Gordon Ung was really leveling huge fanboi sarcasm at Apple and it was wonderful.

That all being said. and as someone who missed almsot everything about the phone itself (I basically got to watch everything about the watch, which is fairly lame), I am still wondering what the hell's any excitement about? ip6 is just a larger version of ip5.

That being said, I'll probably still make the switch from WP if the glass and camera are any good. I'm just tired of not getting apps and devices for WP and MS' inability to keep basic apps working.

$500 subsidized price for the plus with 128gb. $500 SUBSIDIZED!! Wow...

Wow, if this had been a WP release, the tech press would have had a field day about outdated specs. Hope there is some irage about just releasing a bigger phone .

MSFT should just give it up now, There's no way they can catch Apple or make a serious dent in the market. Market share has dropped double digits for WP demonstrating that NOBODY wants them.

My 635 went and hid under the covers during the keynote as she knows her days are numbered.
 

It's kind of weird they didn't include OIS in the regular iPhone 6. It's also weird they are still only rolling with 16GB on the base model. Seeing them get down to f2.2 is nice. I miss my f2.0 Lumia 920.

If anything, it shows Microsoft that they can make a thin phone and just let the camera protrude. Hopefully this also lights a fire under Microsoft to finish their half hearted mobile payment system. It was almost two years ago when they launched WP 8 with "ISIS coming soon"
