So my phone contract ends soon and im having a hard time deciding whether i should get the iphone 6 or the galaxy s6, or just wait until september when the new iphone comes out, in hopes that it will bring updates to the phone's hardware to make it seem more comparable to the s6. ive always liked apple and their ui, as well as the continuity of their software (i have a macbook that i use with my current iphone 4s) but i am open to change too. i was pretty set on getting the iphone until i started looking more at the galaxy, and now im torn as the s6 looks like it blows the iphone 6 out of the water. ive done a fair bit of researching each phone and comparing the two, but id like to hear some opinions from you guys.

The issue with samysong is their OS sucks. it is not smooth. It really is too bad that windows phone never took off. Their OS was better than iOS and android.

I don't think you can go wrong with either one. I love my iphone 6, but my friend has the S6 and I like his phone as well. It really just depends if you like the way Apple operates, vs Android really. They are both good products.

Get an Android that isn't Samsung. I use a Galaxy Note 10.1 for school and I will say TouchWiz fuckin sucks.

OP, clarification needed. You talking plain S6 or S6edge?

I'm in a very similar situation come september first. If it's between the iPhone and the regular s6, iBlown all day long. But if you bring the S6 edge into the mix and all its badassery....my mind gets a little confused.

If you want another android option, check out the nexus 6. I had a note 3 and it broke and I got phone insurance and bought a nexus 6, its fucking awesome.

If you're a basic bitch and care about what your phone says about you. Go Iphone. If you care about having the better phone, go s6

Ive had both android and ios phones and i've had my iphone 6 for almost a year now. Ive never been unhappy with my phone and the only thing i miss about android is being able to download music off chrome. But i use spotify now so it kinda evens out. I will probably not go back to android just because i love the layout of ios and Imessage kicks ass. The Iphones texting platform is so much better than any other Phone in my opinion.


Id wait and get the 6s if I were you.

OR wait for the 6s to come out so you can get the 6 for $100 less.

S6 doesn't have TouchWiz I'm pretty sure. Plus Samsung is definitely the easiest to use out of the androids imo. I had an s4, then changed to an htc one, and after a week I got an s5 and sold the htc because the os is way easier to use.

iphone 6 does everything i need it to, and integration with my macbook is super convenient. however, the new iphone should be announced soon, so you might want to wait if you like being cutting edge with tech
