#2Curious to see no mention of the bending controversy given the huge furore about it(regardless of whether it's actually true or not). If the reviewer thought it was a non-issue, he could have written a single sentence clarifying the same.

That has to do with the iPhone 6+, not the iPhone 6.

There is a passing mention right there on the first page:
"As I discuss in the iPhone 6 Plus review, going by Consumer Reports' data it seems that there is a weak point near the bottom of the volume rocker, although it's far less likely to be an issue on the iPhone 6 due to its smaller size."

"Along the left side, we see the standard volume buttons and mute switch that continue to have the same solid feel and clean clicking action. As I discuss in the iPhone 6 Plus review, going by Consumer Reports' data it seems that there is a weak point near the bottom of the volume rocker, although it's far less likely to be an issue on the iPhone 6 due to its smaller size."
He mentions it on the third paragraph.

#6Great review, as always.
I was pretty entertained by the second comment, which I think has the highest density of Apple hatred the web has thus far witnessed.

#7"It remains to be seen if other SoC manufacturers will catch up in their CPU architecture at one point or another"
This is surprisingly ignorant from Anandtech. Surely they know better.
While Apple raced to win the spec war (I say that tongue in cheek, but the truth is that Apple tries really hard to give you bragging rights, buying the biggest PowerVR designs, jumping on incomplete ARM specs, etc), going to ARMv8 far before her peers by creating a derivative of early A57 designs (much like Qualcomm did with Krait, getting in early on the new A15 design), every other vendor has been soberly pursuing ARM A57 at their own pace: It isn't like there is some great lack of performance in competing devices, and this simply isn't a critical thing, so there seems to be no great rush.
The Tegra K1 Denver will be the first salvo from alternatives, and early indications are that it will provide pretty extraordinary performance, and presumably we'll search for ways of using that power productively.
Looks like I've stepped into the distortion field, where Apple is both uncatchably ahead of everyone, and simultaneously not even trying.

He posted the exact same comment in the 6+ companion review, disappointing.

I'm sure he feels better getting it all off his chest and it's good to have a hobby.
And if you can't have a hobby then being irrationally angry on the internet will do instead.

Apple tries really hard to give you bragging rights through their processor!?
are you posting this from bizarro world? apple is the one tech company that does not advertise tech specs. they mention them in the keynotes and move on. as if you ignored thousands of articles about this very fact. amazing.
