iPhone 6s vs. Galaxy Note 5: 5 Things We Learned in June

For months, we’ve heard rumors about an Apple iPhone 6s and a Samsung Galaxy Note 5. June was extremely busy for both rumored phones and today we want to recap what we learned about this rumored but likely iPhone 6s vs. Galaxy Note 5 matchup from Apple and Samsung.

Last fall, Samsung and Apple took their respective stages to announce brand new flagships for the holiday season. At IFA 2014, Samsung detailed the Galaxy Note 4, a big-screen fourth-generation phone that offer a new stylus, better software and a number of high-end hardware features. It wasn’t the only high quality big screen smartphone to hit shelves in September though.

Apple released two new iPhone models in September including a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and a 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus. The 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus is a direct competitor for the Galaxy Note 4 and a thorn in the side for Samsung, a company that long dominated the big screen smartphone sector.

This isn’t a battle that will be ending anytime soon, at least not according to the rumor mill. Throughout the year, we’ve seen Samsung Galaxy Note 5 rumors and iPhone 6s details emerge at a breakneck pace as we push towards the fall. The month of June was especially busy as the rumor mill spun several intriguing stories regarding both phones.

With June in the rearview mirror, we want to set you up for July and today we take a look at how the iPhone 6s is matching up with the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 as we press on into the summer months.
