If they want to show how much better the camera is than the iPhone 6, why not compare it to iPhone 6 photos?

Well then you're dumb and should just buy one everytime something comes out if that's how it works for you. Otherwise you wont have the latest phone each year!

You would never tell by looking at it. Now featuring even less innovation under the hood.

I am dumb for being stuck on the S iteration and I may just switch, because if Apple doesn't care about their S upgrades why should I.

4k down scaled to 1080p looks better than native 1080p. That's a plus.

Fire the front display backlight at 3x power for use as a selfie flash.

I think if your goal is a one device to do all type of thing, this fails. If you want a dedicated note taker, or PDF viewer, or just a bigger iPad with more power and don't mind paying the extra price then its' fine.

It's not for everyone, but the surface tries to do it all, but isn't QUITE the greatest at everything it tries. I owned one and found it was a bit too thick to enjoy carrying around all the time to take notes, and the keyboard was poor for when I wanted an actual laptop. Personally, I'm happy to have the option of an iPad I can write on AND a laptop.

The 5S added the fingerprint thing which was legit neat, the 4S was stupidly better performing + siri, and the 6S gets a stupid touch thing that seems little better than a long press.

Yeah, but it's not like Touch ID was worth upgrading from a 5 unless you MUST have every new iPhone. I'll agree on 4 to 4S, but only because the 4 had an anemic slow as balls CPU. But it's like the 4S or 5S added any game changers, so come on. Never expect the off years to bring major innovations.

TouchID was completely worth the upgrade. I use LastPass and generate a random password for every site .. not having to login to lastpass every time was a godsend.
