I had to do something on my wife's iPhone after using my MotoX for a few weeks, jesus Christ the iphone is so goddamn tiny.

I'm assuming that you're talking about an older iphone series... 6 is about as damned big as you'd ever want a phone to be, and the 6+ is just fucking impossible to use with 1 hand (and bigger than a moto x).

That's usually solvable by removing/rebooting/reinstalling the Apple Mobile Device package under Windows. It's happened to me a few times. It's a Windows driver issue and it's a pain in the ass, yes.
Takes better pictures than my wife's Nexus 5. I don't really know beyond that, I don't have a lot of points of comparison.
It's ok. Takes good pictures but it's not point and click like Samsung or iPhone and it's prefect all the time. Sometimes you have to play with it a bit but it's still quite good.
I wouldn't stress about the camera. Should be more than good enough for most.

Low light seems to be the big variance in camera quality. My wife takes TONS of pictures of our kid, often indoors in less than ideal lighting. Her Samsung S3 was decent, then I moved her to a LG G2 and it was terrible, just grainy beyond belief in anything other than direct, bright light. We deleted 10x as many pictures as we saved. Moved her back over to a Samsung S5 and it's pretty solid in low light(about the same as my Note 3)

I did delete, and re-install, but I don't think I had rebooted in between that. The driver seemed to install fine, but it was never the Apple Mobile Device (Recovery) driver, which apparently is what I needed. All is good and well now though, on 8.1.3, and so all is good.
The OPO takes better pictures than the S3 if that's what you'd like as a point of reference.

Yeah, gotta reboot in between removal and re-installation of drivers. It's Windows, man. Some things never change. The recovery driver is part of the whole package.
Good to hear that it resolved itself in the end, though.

Android cameras should improve as we see more 5.0 devices. 5.0 adds a lot to the camera API, so camera apps will have a lot more control over the sensor once they update to take advantage of it.
The Sony Exmor sensor on the OPO is supposed to be pretty good, but low light performance could be better. I'm not much of a picture taker, so it works just fine for me.

After using the nexus 6 for s few days the battery isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I have just over 3 hours on screen time with 45% battery left with almost 15 hours standby. That's with all syncing and GPS on too. It's a bit worse than my z2 but that screen is smaller and lower PPI so I'm okay with the battery life. Contrarily, the 6+ scored lower in battery scores by over an hour and no one really talks about it. And finally, why are people on their phone regularly for 5-6 hours a day? There are people who work from their phone but I feel like they are an extremely small minority.
