Yesterday was the big Apple event unveiling the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus. Android fans were generally underwhelmed and it seems Sony and Samsung can be considered part of that crowd.
Sony took a brief second to attack the “Hey, Siri” feature which will now work at any time (previously only worked while charging).

Cute, but I’m not entirely sure it didn’t backfire, for two reasons:
- iPhones generally get pretty good battery life
- Rebuttals such as “Hey Sony, where’s Lollipop?” have been flying around the twittersphere like crazy
Samsung took a more general approach, simply telling those who were traumatized by Apple’s keynote to visit their Galaxy S6 landing pages.

Neither of those “disses” cut particularly deep. Maybe they should have just linked to our own iPhone 6s criticism instead.
For whatever it’s worth, Apple did have a handful of interesting announcements with this generation of iPhone: what was your favorite? Least favorite? Personally, I’m curious to see how the Retina Flash performs!
