How does the iphone 6 stand up to other competitors? I get the impression from you guys that there seems to be a lot of security issues with apple products or privacy issues and I'd like to hear what those are as I'm in the process of upgrading to a new phone today.

ios is more secure than android and windows blows the shit out of both.
>shitty LCD screen with 326ppi
>only above average camera (at this price point it should be the best camera)
>huge bezels
>non-expandable storage
>fragile
>can't use it as a pen drive
>850€+ for the 64GB version
fuck that man.
If you buy an iPhone you are guaranteed to get the best phone on the market with the least hassles. All the best apps come to iOS first (and often stay). The world seems to run on iPhone, hence why everyone jumped to support Apple Pay as soon as Apple announced it even though Lagdroid phones had NFC radios for years.
You'll probably read some posts here from people who irrationally hate Apple for no reason. Strange posts, when every celebrity, politician and business person uses iPhones.
Good luck

OP here I get what you're trying to say but I feel like this board is better for it. At any rate though from what I've read so far I dont think I'll be getting it despite being originally attracted to its durability. Just trying to find a modest durable phone without a bunch of weird privacy issues. I'm a college student and with work and the gym my phone does get bumped around a bit when I'm in a rush. Would still appreciate any recommendations. Upgrading from a Droid maxx.

What privacy issues are you worried about?
iPhones are encyptyed. Touch ID makes it super easy to secure your phone. iMessage is encrypted. The US Government wants to take Apple to court because Apple refuses to throw its users under the bus.
As a data miner and seller, please buy apple products. You are the people who keep me in business.

Versus the Google botnet Android, where you have to agree to let Google track you if you enable wifi. And Android only just now allows users to block tracking and permissions from other apps, but Marshmellow is only on 1% of phones.

I get my data both ways. I just found it more convenient to get it from Apple because most of the time the phone doesn't even recognize that there is foreign programs running. Neither does the user.

It doesn't.

Just generic stuff that probably isn't a big deal in the long run. Firstly how secure is using cloud storage for pictures? I've heard nothing but bad things about that. And then other things privacy wise like how long my personal conversations are stored and my browsing habits on apples end? Stuff that isn't a huge deal but still embarrassing to an extent. What you said is interesting based off stuff I've read like here.

Nice b8
OP here, the options Verizon has given me for my phone upgrade are as follows: -DROID TURBO 2, LG G4, LG v10, Motorola droid mini, Samsung Galaxy Note5, Apple Iphone 6s, Apple Iphone 6, Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Galaxy S6. If any of you have any positive or negative things to say about any of these phones I'd be happy to hear it. My main problem with smart phones so far has really just been shock resistance from mild falls and faulty miniusb ports so I really want to make a good choice here.

Been using the 6 since it was launched, my complain is that you literally cannot do anything if you do not jailbreak, say bye bye to your freedom.
Anyway putting aside the fact that you can't do shit without jailbreaking it just werks indeed.

>don't jailbreak
>can't do shit
>literally a flat dumbphone
>jailbreak
>have to leave gaping security exploit open to keep it jailbroken
>just to get stock android functions
