With the month coming to a close, we want to take a look at the five most important things you need to know about the inevitable Galaxy Note 5 vs iPhone 6 Plus matchup.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are two of the market’s top smartphones and they will remain there up until Apple announces a brand new iPhone 6s. iPhone 6s release rumors point to an arrival in the fall which means that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus should remain flagships for at least a few more months.
