I think it’s funny that the only posts on the iphone blog that have comments are comments from phandroid 🙂

In reply to ratnok. @ratnok:disqus you must really be a Android fanboy to call out Kevin like that. It's not about the specs or prices or cutting edge tech that makes iPhone the best phone on the market. It's because they are the most "INNOVATIVE" phone ever produced. Every Apple lover knows innovation is like what Kevin said "is more a matter of preference." iPhone owners prefer a smaller screen until a bigger one comes out. They prefer to hold their phone a certain way or buy a 30$ case and they are prefer to just except what is given to them. I also believe the only reason the Maxx ranked so high is because the Moto X was not out yet. SO THERE! LOL I hope you get my humor, ;-)

In reply to ratnok. Well, this is a iPhone site so expect the fan boy rhetoric. Regardless, the critique CR has leveled at the iPhone over the years is warranted. The grip of death being one of them. They made a good point in why buy something that is flawed, especially if the company drags ass to resolve it. Beyond that, they still score the iPhones high. Not making the top pick is not always a bad thing. It just goes to show the bias of the fan boy perspective.

Kevin goes 100% fanboy on this one. Consumer Reports doesn’t have a “tenuous history” with Apple. They just are willing to call Apple out for their shortcomings over the years (price, poor antennas, etc) when much of the blog space favors click friendly Apple worshipping. It’s probably due their extensive laboratory testing and anti-advertising unbiased business model.

Regardless, Apple has always ranked high on CR reviews regardless of the category. The fact that they aren’t the top manufacturer in smartphones, or PCs is confirmed by not only Consumer Reports, but also by actually consumers the world over. Attacking and whining about CR doesn’t make iphones better phones.

By the way, CNET also has the Droid Maxx ranked #1.
#2 Galaxy Note 3
#3 Galaxy S4
#4 HTC One
With the iPhone 5s (ironically) #5

Sorry. Maybe next year?
