Examples :
- file access n file sharing out to n fro from external thumb drives n ext sdcard. You need iTunes to manage files on phones. Versatility n flexibility loses greatly to Android OS. Jailbreak improve this slightly n not a complete solution as tested before with ip5
- sharing of info is very limited from browser, newsreader, Facebook n Tweeter. IOS 8.1 only some minor improvement only
- email cannot attach other file types eg zip, pdf, office files besides photo n video. Backdoor way is unproductive especially if you need attach multi attachment
- checking image size n properties not possible from photo app. I need to use another app just for that
These are some common iOS issues that affects my personal usage. Those who don't need these will even be unaware of such iOS disadvantages
There are several more functionality issues which I am not going to mentioned as is minor. The above are major ones that affects my usage of the phone

i agree to ur points.
these matters will depend from user to user and also for those who badly need these services, certainly there are workarounds some like u mentioned.
there will always be pros and cons for both platforms, and its our choice to which we can live with or choose to live without and at what cost.

File access to ext sd card. Greatly killed by Kitkat. Only updated apps which reserve a specific folder in the sd card can now save to sd. And u know how lousy play store updates are.
Share to other apps is the only major feature I mostly miss. I can no longer share some article directly to a fb private group in ios.
Other than that, more benefit going back to ios. Os update minimal and the waiting for updates sucks, if any update is coming.

Does your battery lasts you the whole day without charges in between? Say some surfing, whatsapp, some calls and occasionally some games?

Whole day? I reckon so. It stopped breastfeeding from the power plug at about 6:45 AM today. I took it to the gym and listened to music for an hour plus, used GPS while charged into my car ( I feel like it sucks more power than what my cheapo fm transmitter cum charger can give it. Battery is lower after I drove for half an hour).

Brightness set to full while driving so I can see during this hot day.

This is the battery so far

How long does it take to charge up a iPhone 6 Plus?

just a question in my mind...

i have heard the 6+ can actually support ipad 2A charger with higher charging rate (means charge faster than the 6)... have anyone tried?

can any 6+ owner verify on this? is the charging speed with ipad 2A charger significantly faster compare to using the normal iphone charger come with the box?

UPDATE: i myself did some research on this. iPhone 6+ can take up to 2.1A of power, which mean to increase the speed of charging, but seems 6 can only take up to around 1.4A... nice rclxms.gif

I had yet to even touch the original phone charger.
I had been using my iPad 2.1A charger since day one on my ip6+. I used the same charger on my other Androids too without any problems

Ya, if you are still working with thumb drive and SD card, it will be a hassle plugging in to iTunes for transfer. For me, most of my stuffs transferred and backup via cloud like iCloud Drive, Dropbox and Box. With Airdrop and iCloud Drive, it's fast and convenient transferring any kind of files between your phone and mac.

As with most thing Apple where they seldom throw in every kitchen sink features into the OS, the rich app ecosystems can make up for the missing features especially with iOS 8's extensions, share sheets and iCloud Drive API, which is a huge thing that most top tier developers are currently working their ass off building apps for it, just need more time. We can see this in some app already like great utility apps like Transmit for iOS.

If you have been following iOS developments news, you'll know there are plenty of this really neat and interesting apps in the work. In a year from now, there will be a merging of single universal design for iPhone and iPad.. ie. Ipad type apps running on 6+ model with landscape split view for example. The only problem now is the waiting part for developers to release these apps but very soon. Great time ahead.

Looking at that it might just last the day but it's still subjective, varies from user to user. I probably might not wanna risk it, hehe.. Anyways, few days more till we get the official pricing...

Yosemite looks like crap on non retina mac especially Helvetica typeface. Wait for next year if you planning to get a MacBook Air. Or add a bit more and get the Pro 13"...worth it haha
