This image, which compares the specifications of the new iPhone 6 and a Nexus 4, an older Android device, is all over the internet today. It was put together by the Ars Technica reviews editor Ron Amadeo. The infographic, which got retweeted nearly 16,000 times and favorited by more than 7,000 users on Twitter, highlights that most of the new iPhone's specifications are matched by the Nexus 4 — when it was released way back in 2012.
On basic specs, the Nexus, appears to either do just as well as the iPhone or even sometimes outdo it, the graphic claims. The graphic suggests that the iPhone 6 is simply playing catchup to the Nexus 4's features. The two phones have the same screen size, both have widgets and NFC payments — but the Nexus has a slightly higher screen resolution (760p compared to the iPhone 6,'s 750p).
However, there are specs that the iPhone 6 has that Nexus doesn't — and these aren't mentioned on the graphic. For example, the iPhone has Touch ID, the impressive fingerprint recognition feature that allows iOS users to unlock their phone with only their hands. Touch ID lets users can pay for products they want to buy without having to use their credit cards.
To round off the ridicule, Amadeo sarcastically lists the "new" features to expect in 2016 from Apple. On the list, he includes wireless charging, water resistance and split screen apps — all of which are already available on Android phones.
