OnePlus One 64gb ($349) vs. iPhone 6 Plus 64gb ($849) - GoFuckYourself.com

MaDalton · 09-10-2014, 09:49 AM

At almost 100% identical tech specs - is the iPhone worth $500 more?

($849 is indeed the contract free price for the iPhone 6 plus 64gb model - plus sale tax. In Germany the price including sale tax is $1160)

Captain Kawaii · 09-10-2014, 10:12 AM

A phone is almost 1200$ US?
Dude, we are in the wrong biz. WTF?

The Samsung S5 is $719 unlocked.

And that is only for a paltry 16 gig version.

Unlocked premium phones be they Samsung or Apple are very similarly priced. Sorry to ruin your Apple rant.

where did i mention Samsung?

I was comparing the Oneplus One with the iPhone 6 plus

but if it makes you happy: is also the Samsung worth that much more money compared to the OnePlus One?

Any way to put iOS onto the other devices? I have a Galaxy S5 and will buy a OnePlus One, but I need iOS for a lot of what I do. Android ecosystem just doesn't work the same way, unless I'm willing to convert away from OS X (which I am not, currently).

You didn't mention samsung. I did to illustrate that premium phones cost more than cheap ones whomever makes them.

One plus is also premium (that sells for cheap). That was the whole point of this thread.

Odd that they just pick on the iPhone and neglect to mention it is exactly the same, if not worse, with a premium Android phone though, isn't it?

Oh wait, it's an android site! Silly me, no wonder, they just want to incite folk to think that Apple is a rip off, when in fact, Samsung is just as bad.

Carry on.

Chinese version. They won't work on US networks. The OPPO N1 (which is almost the same phone) will, but the OnePlus won't.

Maybe because iphone is more expensive than galaxy and $500 price gap between oneplus and iphone adds more "shock value" to the article than $370 gap between oneplus and galaxy?

Specs are one thing, but you also have to look at the software. ios is written in c++ and will always be faster then androind with it's slow, cpu and memory consuming piece of shit - java. There is also a huge diffence in APi's. Google is still using this terrible, ancient open gl es while Apple developed a totally new API called metal which is 10x faster than open gl.

Nice try but on the Samsung you can add a 128 gig sd card.

and I can bring a pocketful of fully charged batteries with me that I can swap when needed.

Right, so you can pay more to match the memory, with a slower format, and you have to walk around with lots of batteries?

Nice try. I'd prefer to not need to have the batteries in my pocket nor need to stump out extra for a slower memory format.

But each to their own. If you like samsung. Cool. Arguing about phones or OSs is beyond pointless. Whatever works for you if the right device for you.

My point was Stefan (who dislikes apple) posted a nonsense piece trying to suggest apple was overpriced compared with a very cheap android phone. My point was samsung android devices are similarly more expensive. Thus ruining the anti apple article entirely.

That's all. Thanks for playing though.

i know you are good with your hands, your mind reading skills suck though - first you speak about Samsung when this wasn't even my point of this thread, now you claim once more I dislike Apple.

but like I said in some other thread - I love people like you, it's good for the Apple stock, mine is up 33% since I bought it

You've said many time you dislike apple hardware. Don't need to read minds. Just need to read your posts about it, love.

And the thread was just silly android nonsense. Claiming apple is a rip off compared to the plus one, whereas in fact samsung is even more of a rip off. Hence me pointing that out.

Sorry you're finding this so confusing.

iwantchixx · 09-13-2014, 12:55 PM

I'm a diehard Galaxy fan but next time around, it'll be the OnePlus One.

Carriers are getting carried away with pricing and terms, even up here in Canada. It's all "tab" now. And the bloatware.. oh em gee. Its insane. Also, no way to challenge them on their mistakes... I signed a 2 year on my sIII in jan 2013 for both my wifes and mine. They gave her new phone 1.5 years into it, I have to wait until 2016 even though i got mine at same time as her and they refuse to budge on it. Somehow, two year turned into a 4 year. Fuck Rogers.

Rochard · 09-13-2014, 02:39 PM

At this point, a phone is a phone. You can argue and debate screen size and resolution and a hand full of tricks.... But as long as you can download apps, they all do the exact same thing.

I have friends that upgrade their phones every time the newest iPhone comes out and I just don't get it. If you wanted a bigger phone, you couldn't have got one last year.

Young · 09-13-2014, 07:41 PM

I don't get it when people try to pigeon hole iPhone users as uniformed. When most of the time the truth is just the opposite. I had a Blackberry way back in 2003 (BB7510 Nextel) when owning a "Smartphone" was unheard of. Everyone had flip phones and I was running a business off of mine. In 2007 I bought a Nokia N95 for almost a grand. It was a good shot from Nokia at building a smart phone but I immediately went back to the Blackberry. After a few Bold and Bold II's broke on me I hopped on the iPhone bandwagon with the 4.

I flirted with a HTC One for a year and I loved the shit I could do with it but I found myself never doing it. The things I could do with Tasker and a rooted phone blew my mind. But the horrible battery life when you were doing all of this stuff didn't. In the end I decided I wanted a phone with a smooth UI, web browsing capabilities, email, and it needed to work seamlessly with my Macbook Pro and my Dell Workstation. So I sold it to Gazelle for peanuts and got a 5s.

AND I just sold my iPhone 5s 16gb more than a year after buying to Sprint for $320 and just bought a 128gb 6 plus. Gazzelle would have given me $220 CASH for it today and even more than that just 3 weeks ago. Name one Android phone that commands that resale value....

I went with the larger screen because it was finally available in the phone and OS that I wanted. The note was neither of those.

Imagine that. I'm an informed consumer that made an informed decision.
