Context menus - those have always been there as long as I've owned an iphone (so at least as far back as the 3Gs). They are merely tweaking what it looks like now. But the functionality isn't changing.
Switching between apps by scrolling to the side - This exists already on the iphone as well. You double tap the home button and you can scroll through every app.
Paying with touch ID - this is just saying you can use it in MORE places. Not that it didn't exist to begin with. I've used this many times before. This is simply a matter of how many stores have bought the equipment necessary. I have yet to ever go to a place where androids can pay and iphones can't.
4k - this is the only legit one listed here.
Flashing selfie screen - just like the android, there are plenty of apps that allow this. I've done it many times before myself. The only difference is that Apple is making it a built-in feature... something the android has failed to do according to this post.
Apple stole the layout from android when you switch between apps, not original. Android had fingerprint scanner way before apple. The selfie flash might be the only thing android does not have built in, but they still stole the idea. Check mate. If you want I can bring in my lovely friend who can cite everything android did before Apple stole it and made it a thing.
I don't think there's a need... I asked and you delivered. Admirably, I'll add. Thanks.

Things that I dislike, I prefer to dislike intelligently. I don't "blindly hate on" something, I prefer to have my opinion formed by information and data. For the record, it's not Apple devices or their users that I dislike... it's Apple as a company that I don't care for.

At least half of these have been on Windows phone since the beginning.
No, were saying some fanboys can't try and wave these features around like they're cutting edge technology only available on IOS9. PS not calling you a fanboy
I remember once that my friends were freaking out about how Apple had face recognition. One of them smugly asked me "when is android getting it?" I replied, "4 years ago."

God damn it if I see one more post comparing android and apple I'm gonna scream
Having had both phones, while I completely agree that android has better features, apple's ios is 1000x smoother, literally never had lagging issues like I do with my s6
I've seen several android phones that looked good, not only Samsung either, although I have no complaints about my orange s4 active, most of the time android phones look better to me than fapple phones.
can we stop having phone wars? no one is ever going to switch from apple to android or from android to apple... apple is mostly just the aesthetic but that is okay
Actually it's quite common for people to switch from Apple to Android and vice versa.

The only reasons I really stick with Apple at this point is that I just like the way the iPhone looks and that I'm too lazy to switch all of my music to a program that isn't iTunes.
By looks, do you mean the user interface? I ask because outwardly, most all smart phones are pretty much the same.

Not to mention that you can't really tell what it looks like when you put it in a case. Which you really should do. A good case, not one from a gas station that cost $3.

I actually have a nice case that cost me $25! :) But yeah, that's what I meant, but I also just like the outward look of iPhones. Personally I think they have enough difference from other phones that I'm drawn to them.
I am at a point in my life where I can afford to chose whatever phone I so desire. If I wanted, I could go get an iPhone literally tomorrow. I'd say today, but I'm at the airport heading home for the weekend.
However... Android, specifically Samsung, has the capabilities that I need in mobile devices.
