10 Important iPhone 6s vs. Galaxy S6 Details

Now that we’re sitting just a few weeks out from the usual iPhone launch window, we’re starting to see important iPhone 6s details emerge. Armed with a fresh round of rumors, we want to take a look at the most important things to know about the iPhone 6s vs. Samsung Galaxy S6 matchup right now.

Apple and Samsung release new mainstream flagship smartphones every year but the two devices don’t share the same release cycle. While Apple likes to release its iPhone flagship(s) in the fall ahead of the holidays, Samsung releases its Galaxy S flagship in the spring ahead of the summer. Samsung also releases a Galaxy Note flagship in the fall but the Galaxy Note series is far more niche than the Galaxy S.

What this means is that by the time Apple announces its new iPhone, Samsung’s Galaxy has been on shelves for several months. This year, it’s the Samsung Galaxy S6 that’s been marinating as we wait for Apple to make its inevitable iPhone announcement on stage.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 was first released back in April across carriers in the United States and it quickly became one of the top smartphone options in the U.S. and around the world. The Galaxy S6 is getting older but it’s still extremely relevant and we’ve been getting a number of Galaxy S6 questions from friends, family and readers.

One of the loudest questions sounds something like this: “Should I buy the Galaxy S6/iPhone 6 or wait for the iPhone 6s?” It’s a difficult question to answer given that the iPhone 6s is still in the shadows but it’s a question that we’ve started to address in an effort to set expectations.

We’ve already taken a look at the most important things to know about the iPhone 6s vs. iPhone 6 as we push into summer and today we want to take a look at the most important things to know if you’re debating between buying the Galaxy S6 now or waiting for the iPhone 6s.
