Apple Edits iPhone 6's Protruding Camera Out of Official Photos
Sockatume writes: If you've been browsing Apple's site leading up to the iPhone 6 launch, you might've noticed something a little odd. Apple has edited the handset's protruding camera out of every single side-on view of the phone. (The camera is, necessarily, retained for images showing the back of the device.) The absence is particularly conspicuous given the number of side views Apple uses to emphasize the device's thinness.
Parallax isn't going to hide something like that on a device of that size. I'm holding mine exactly like that right now. I sure as hell see the camera bump, even being way on the other side of the phone from my vantage point.
Plus, take the images and invert the colors. You can clearly see editing work. Basic Photoshop detection 101. Even more fun when you have a shitty TFT screen that makes every glaring error even more obvious.
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.
Gee, that's funny, because Samsung's official images of the S4 clearly show the camera protrusion from the side: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsun... And Apple shows their phone from both sides, so in those with the lens on the near side, it should be even more evident. But it's not. It's clear case of iLying.
The six has a flat back, Mr. Always Corrected.
No it doesn't, not according to Apple's website - see the bit where they compare thickness - the smaller 6 clearly has the protruding lens. Also you can quite clearly see it in engadget's hands on video.
right and where was windows phone, and Android before the iPhone was launched? how about full screen mobile browsers?
Windows CE and Palm OS phones were around years before the iPhone, complete with web browsers.
Sure there are lots of smart watches out there. All of them are thicker than the Apple watch
Apple Watch = 12.6mm
Samsung Galaxy Gear = 11.1mm
Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 = 10mm
Sony Smartwatch 2 = 9mm
Pebble = 11.5mm
Pebble Steel = 10.5mm
and none of them thought of implementing NFC payments into the watch.
Samsung Galaxy Gear/2 and Sony Smartwatch 2 have NFC.
Let alone the astounding watch feature of changeable watch bands
Samsung Galaxy Gear 2, Sony Smartwatch 2 and Pebble have changeable bands.
The iPhone 6 really doesn't have any good competing pieces. However iOS still has one major feature than Android and Window phone lack. with in 3 months of a new OS launch /update 80% of all compatible devices have been upgraded. It takes android a couple of years to get to 25%. iOS is still supported on 3 year old devices. only google nexus android devices are supported any where near that long.
CyanogenMod. I have a six year old HTC Dream running the latest version of Android.
