Apple finally unveiled its next-generation iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus smartphones on Tuesday during its huge press conference at the Flint Center in California, and not a soul in the building was surprised. Thanks to months of leaks, we knew nearly every single detail about Apple’s new iPhone lineup long before it was unveiled. Despite the lack of surprise, however, everyone in the building seemed to be impressed by Apple’s sleek new smartphones, and it looks like we could be marching toward a record launch yet again.
But how do the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus compare to the competition?

Business Insider
put together a quick little chart on Tuesday that does a decent job of
comparing Apple’s new iPhones to some leading devices from other phone
makers. The chart includes the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5 from Samsung,
the HTC One (M8) and Microsoft’s Lumia 830, and it covers most of the
important bases.
Of note, there are some odd discrepancies on the chart. For example, Business Insider
included the iPhone camera’s maximum panorama size and for some reason
omitted that stat from every other phone model. Conversely, core counts
and clock speeds were mentioned for every phone except for the new
iPhones.
