It's annoying to me as a consumer that they only bench marked it against their own previous models instead of showing what it does compared to what's currently available out on the market.

Little more time under by belt with the OnePlus. Still very solid. Only real issue I have with it is the camera. Takes absolutely gorgeous shots in good light. On part with much more expensive cameras. Lower light performance is very grainy. Adjusting the ISO manually does help. Supposed to be a patch for that at some point.

Still an excellent device for the money but that is one thing that could be better.

Jobs be spinning in his grave

Jobs insisted that the company had designed the perfectly proportioned gadget, even as rivals running Google's (GOOG) Android operating system began rolling out bigger phones. "You can't get your hand around it," Jobs harrumphed over the inferior products. "No one's going to buy that."

Don't think that wasn't intentional. Their previous couple iterations of the iPhone were pretty far behind the technology curve, and the iPhone 6 is no different. It would look pretty damn bad to put the new iPhone specs up against the top-end Android phones.

I didn't see anything mentioned about the glass. So I am assuming that video of the Sapphire glass turned out to be not true?

I don't think it looks that bad, but I agree that the 360 looks nicer. The fact that the 360 can't last all day on a charge though is a complete deal breaker. The iPhone looks pretty slick but since it's running iOS I'm not interested.

Oh of course it was intentional. I just wish more would realize it.

Not trying to be a cynic here, this is an honest question. Why do we need smart watches?

Do they even have one feature that smart phones do not? And if they cannot replace a smart phone, then why do you need the duplication of functions?

Watches these days are largely a fashion accessory, are these smartwatches anything different?

One look at Apple's watch website tells you everything you need to know. Three pages of images and information about its aesthetics, not even a paragraph on its functionality. They even have a version in 18k gold.

Funny thing with the Motorola 360 and battery life, most reviewers are still ending the day with an average of 20% on their device and that's considered "all day" because by the time they say they're going to sleep, guess what? It's on charge for an hour and ready to rock again at 100% -- comparatively, Apple advertises the term "all day long" for the new iWatch and people are like "ooooh, aaaah," so this is basically an iCommerical: "The Moto 360 sucks because it can't last 24 hours, but the Apple iWatch? It can last all day!" Fucking idiots. And I'd rather wear a Moto 360 too because it looks like a damn watch, not something like my Galaxy Gear which stood out as a sore thumb.

Kedwyn: Not this gen. But previously that was true besides some basic timechecks and such.

Biggest reasons I'll be getting one is to have voice controls on hand without a scrappy Bluetooth thing on my ear and health tracking. Besides fashion of course.
