iPhone 6s vs Galaxy S6: 6 Key Differences
iPhone 6s vs Galaxy S6: Software | |||||||
 | |||||||
The entire iOS vs Android debate will only bring out the trolls, and get us no where, but we do want to highlight a few key features inside both OS versions on each of these phones. The Galaxy S6 can launch the camera in under a second by double-tapping the home button, it has tons of controls, there's a heart rate and blood pressure scanner by the flash, and Samsung has a lot of health-aimed features in S-Health. Add all of that to stock Android, and it's as feature-packed as they come, almost too many features. However, Apple has 3D Touch, and iOS 9. With 3D Touch users can push down with varying degrees of pressure to see previews of apps, emails, photos, texts, and Instagram posts, then a harder or deeper press to fully open or dive deeper into an app. It's like quick shortcuts and hovering previews like the Note 5 does with the S-Pen, but just by using your finger. It seemed like a gimmick on stage, but some users may come to love it, or not use it at all. At first it looks like a gimmick, but Apple claims it's the next step past multi-touch, which we know they used to sue every Android OEM they could target. It could be revolutionary, but who knows at this point. There are tons of new features in iOS 9, too many to list, but one thing in terms of software worth mentioning is Apple finally moved to 2GB of RAM. This should help with overall speed, performance, opening and closing apps, and prevent a lot of that slow-down we've seen an array of complaints about with the iPhone 6. | |||||||

The key difference is that one runs iOS and the other runs Android. You USE the OS and the apps. You do NOT use the screen resolution and nobody notices the differences between these CPUs during actual USE of the device. If you say do, then you are a liar. It’s like the old days when Windows users bragged about their CPU being .25 ghz or whatever faster than a Mac. Give it a rest.

A 750p screen on the brand new iphone 6s and apple charges over $1000 for this top line flagship phone. Android budget phones have 750p screens. WoW!

Samsung is the kind of phone I have. I have an S5 and I actually think I will never need another phone in my life. VERY easy to use, the autocorrect is NEVER a problem, and the camera is wonderful!!! that plus expandable storage…you can get SD cards of different sizes at places like Best Buy. I walked into the store on the day that I was going to get my phone, ready to get the iPhone 5, but then I played with the Samsung and made a quick decision change. I’ve had my phone for over a year now and I never want to get rid of it. It’s perfect.

S6 is still much better than iPhone 6S with features like high resolution screen, fast charging through adaptive fast charger and even Samsung’s latest Note 5 support fast charging with fast wireless charger for Note 5. Samsung is way better than Apple.
