The Wall Street Journal is known for giving Apple the benefit of the doubt with its new devices, so much so that it\u2019s practically a turnoff to read their reviews on the iPhone. Last year\u2019s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were glowing reviews of the iPhone, so much so that the writer of the review pretended that the new iPhones then were better than any others, including those of the Galaxy Note 4. Despite the wrong nature of the claim, it was done to match the views of the writers there: to support the iPhone at all cost. Sometimes, I think there is a nationalistic slant to American iPhone reviews.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s review of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, however, is rather different. While the Wall Street Journal does give Apple credit for adding an additional GB of RAM to the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, which makes video playback and multitasking faster, as well as the cameras (which are improved in well-lit situations but still have noise in low-light situations).<\/p>\n
There\u2019s one area in which the iPhone 6s hasn\u2019t changed: battery life. Here\u2019s what the WSJ says about the iPhone 6s:<\/p>\n
The No.1 thing people want in a smartphone is better battery life. And the iPhone 6s doesn\u2019t deliver that\u2026still, there is no battery improvement over last year\u2019s iPhone 6 models. In our grueling test, which loops a series of websites with brightness set at around 65%, I found the 6s and the 6s Plus get no more \u2013 but also no less \u2013 battery life than their predecessors\u2026although Apple says that the 6s Plus gets hours more battery life than the 6s, repeated testing on multiple devices reveals a slimmer difference.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
For the Wall Street Journal, the difference in testing between the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus shows 20 minutes. Just a 20-minute difference, that\u2019s all. You\u2019ll still have to charge your iPhone 6s for two hours or so, as compared to Apple\u2019s rival Samsung, whose Galaxy Note5 will charge in 75-80 minutes (2 hours with wireless charging, which gives you remote charging and doesn\u2019t connect your phone to a power outlet). You can use Samsung\u2019s new wireless charging and still charge your device at an equal time compared to Apple\u2019s old traditional wall outlet charging. That\u2019s quite pathetic, for Apple that is.<\/p>\n
Yes, the iPhone 6s may live for 8 hours before requiring a wall outlet, which is about 2 hours more than that of the iPhone 6, but Apple\u2019s battery technology hasn\u2019t caught up with the rest of the high-end market. It\u2019s pathetic to see Apple\u2019s battery life in the iPhone 6s match Google\u2019s battery life in the Nexus 5 \u2013 from 2013! I\u2019ve never understood how Apple can sell its devices for $700 when the iPhone 6s has few improvements in it that mandate that price tag. The iPhone 6s, on the basis of much needed improvements, shouldn\u2019t sell for anything over $400. When your device has the battery life of a 2-year-old phone, is it not unethical to sell it for this year\u2019s price?<\/p>\n
Now, the Wall Street Journal often writes with an Apple bias, so I used an Apple fan site\u2019s review on which to talk about the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus so that I wouldn\u2019t be accused of bias. What it goes to show, however, is that new buyers will have to buy the new iPhones for more than just charging improvements, but for iOS. And I don\u2019t think iOS is enough to get the iPhone 6s over the hurdle of just another mediocre, incremental hardware bump for 2015.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sure that this won\u2019t discourage consumers from buying Apple, since pointing out these things has never stopped the millions of American consumers from buying Apple. At the same time, however, you can\u2019t say you haven\u2019t been warned.<\/p>\n
