Xperia Z5 Compact is a high-end Android phone. Whether it's awful might be in the eye of the holder.

Oh, the Z5 Compact is a great phone, but it's still 4.6" like my iPhone and I'd have to give up all my iOS apps and integration, so nah. It's a sidegrade at best and ultimately a hindrance for me, considering I have a Macbook Pro too. The Z5C is still way better than the tired 5" behemoths that Samsung and the like keep putting out though.

Between 3D touch on the iPhone and the keyboard and pen for the iPad, it's kind of amazing how much more like traditional computers these products are becoming.

It's almost like they do that ever time they come out with something. The Apple I was just a xerox with a different UI. It's their legacy

I'm surprised Apple didn't buy Mailbox before Dropbox did, considering how much better it is than their own mail app.

He's right. All of this can be done with regular touches. It's a fluff feature, not "revolutionary"
