To all the people who say Android had it in 2012: Granted, I use an Android phone (used to the interface, and iPhones are expensive), but anyone who thinks iPhones are purely bought on marketing/hype merits (e.g. post #2) and not on any technical merits are kidding themselves.

That's both illegal in several states and arguably suicidal (unless you're riding on a dedicated trail).

Apple 2012 pebble look, which the iPhone 6 is obviously derived from:

Can you post your wiring scheme? Might be something going on with ground loops.

Especially since the Moto G matches most of its specs, other than the camera and construction.

The 64GB microSD is also probably much slower NAND than 64GB internal storage.

The size is a deal breaker for me. 5.5" is Note territory. Otherwise, seems great - the Samsung-style button layout is annoying, but can be disabled for software buttons.

I'd agree with the Ars review - it's a decent incremental upgrade, but Samsung never put much effort into their biggest weakness (design).

I know exactly what they're for, but there are people whose actual views approach those extremes in terms of Android evangelism. As much as you're saying they're uncommon/rare, my point is that most Apple users aren't "Apple Crazies" either, just like most Android users aren't removable...

Ugh, posted the wrong link. http://www.reddit.com/r/androidcirclejerk

To be fair, most people who use iPhones are not Apple crazies, exactly paralleling how you said most Android users are not like these people.

Never mind that Apple A7 beats Snapdragon 800 in most benchmarks, never mind that respected sites like Anandtech with staff who have actual computer engineering degrees supports the idea of two more powerful cores over moar coars, never mind the fact that you're making a completely non sequitur...

I've had 100% of these fail. I bought about 5 of them and all cables stopped charging within 4 months. It's something with the connector. Now I use these and they seem to be holding up.

There's also some iPhone 5 DNA in there with the circular buttons and a bit of the chamfer.

If you can stretch it, the Moto G at $180 is an excellent phone. There's also many used options available at that price range. You can probably get the Galaxy SII at that price, which has a fairly decent camera.
