:) if you don't know, pick up an iPhone 6 or 6+ and see for yourself. The a8 is Apples second generation 64 bit processor and coupled with ios 8 (64bit platform utilizing metal and extensibility framework) with 64 bit apps, it just a very powerful phone in a very small package.

Not gimmicks for me. Touch ID and 64 bit are two features I currently can't live without. Well my digital persona fingerprint scanner from the 90's pales in comparison to Touch ID. First Time I have used a fingerprint reader covered in sapphire, pretty innovative, but I'm talking from first...

That's one piece of the puzzle, 64 bit os and apps are missing.

Right, capacitive fingerprint readers are old tech and 32 bit preforms just as well as 64 bit. ;) Your very funny.

I think you might be spot on.

What's stopping Microsoft from releasing one to two phones a year? Hubris? Microsoft did spend over $2 billion in marketing for 2013 alone. They should have had much more success according to some posters here.

I think it's unfair to call them sheep. iOS users seem to know what they want and are not easily swayed. Your point about pushy sales people seems rather moot especially when applied to this specific preorder, since most of the people purchasing the iPhone woke up in the middle of the night...

As soon as Microsoft releases a 64 bit phone with a 64 bit platform and a fingerprint reader I might be inclined to return, but until then I'm getting an iPhone 6+ on Friday.

I agree with your assessment about giving up in the US, but I disagree regarding Europe. I believe they have also lost ground in Europe especially after acquiring Nokia. Once Microsoft retires the Nokia brand, I'm afraid it is game over for them in Europe as well. Microsoft marketshare...

Your wrong regarding 64 bit, Microsoft is now the odd one out, both Apple and Google both have 64 bit platforms.

I thought the verge were very fair to Microsoft and the the surface tablet.

Now that android is 64 bit, Microsoft is the odd one out.

Actually you would be factually incorrect

Apple just sold 4 million iPhone 6/6+ in 24 hours. I don't believe your opinions are shared by the majority of consumers, or myself for that matter.

Well the iphone 6 plus is both thinner and slimmer than Samsung note 3
