In a couple months, the Samsung Galaxy 7 is coming out, so the price of the 6 will drop a fair bit.

I have an iPhone 6. It is great. No issues at all.

Are you using apple os or Android now? That’s a bigger question than the hardware.

I was on Apple a few years back but switched to android when apple feminized iOS ( now donning flame-proof suit :-) )

I am an inveterate tweaker and was lured off the Apple ranch onto the Android side from by talk of configurability etc.

Big mistake. Mundane tasks such as syncing calendars became fraught with peril and/or required third party apps with subscriptions...even then it was a connectivity nightmare.

Apple battery life may have its own issues but the Samsung battery drained faster than a cracked porcelain tub.

After 6 months I bailed and am back in happy Apple land.

Household Six and I got iPhone 6+ in 2014. After a year, we dumped AT&T Wireless (They were really hosing us with hidden costs!) and switched to Verison and the Samsung Galaxy. Very happy with them.

And Verizon is much more affordable.

I have a Galaxy S6 and from little I know of how to operate it, I like it.......

From what I've heard, it's more user friendly than the Apple.......

I’ve never owned an Apple product, but I do know that Apple is the only company earning a profit on its phones.

I use Tracfone and would never spend a lot of money for a phone, but if you are someone who does spend a lot of money on a phone I say you should go with Apple.

Would you rather have Google or Apple watching everything you do on it?

(Serious question.)

I’ve had my Galaxy S6 since July.

It’s by far the best phone I’ve ever had. I highly recommend it.

I upgraded to an S6 when my S4 failed. I hate it. Hate hate hate it.

The software guys spent some much effort “improving” it that the basic functionality i liked about the S4 are gone.

The S7 and successors have a huge hole to climb out of.

we had to take our apple 6s back to at&t... it crashed on the ios update as soon as we got it home... was a very bad experience, because they didn’t want to take it back unless it was like it was when it left the store.

I will never buy another apple product.. .ever!

Whatever you are used to honestly. If data is an issue for you, android can limit the data you use per device. Apple? I guess they haven’t figured that out yet. Pure retardation if you ask me.
I have both in my house and really don’t have a preference since both companies mine all your personal data equally.

Apple - there is a simplicity to the design and function that is beautiful and works.

If you ever need help, you can go to the nearest Apple Store.

Applications are not filled with viruses.

Out of 8 in my immediate family, 7 have an iPhone.

I like my Galaxy S6. A coworker has the S6 Edge and likes it a lot, too.

If this is your first smart phone, it really doesn’t matter any more. They are now toasters. Either will do what you need.

Android is a little more flexibe and Apple is a little more stream lined but there is not a lot of difference. For that matter, there isn’t a huge difference between a 200 dolar phone and a 800 dolar phone any more.

Android has severe security issues. You’re better off with an iPhone, and that’s coming from a Windows phone user.

I bought an s6 when they first came out hoping to break Apple habit. (Didn’t like the CEO a running his mouth about state politics. ) It was a great looking phone and I had high hopes. Ended up being the worst phone I have ever owned!!! Apps would shut off on their own for no apparent reason. Would not hold a streaming talk show (listen in car for clear signal of am stations). Would not reliably pair with car stereo. Was new to Android and I’m sure others more familiar with the system could better navigate but it seemed like you needed 2 or 3 apps to do what apple could do with 1. Worst of all was the battery life! I am not a heavy user (especially compared to my kids), but I could only get half a days use on a full charge! Had to buy a $100 battery case just to make it through a single day!!! I am back to Apple now and have the iPhone 6s Plus. Easily the best phone I have ever owned!!! It just works, period. And I get at least 2 days (often more) from a full charge. The only advantage the s6 had was the camera. Better pics than iPhone, which is saying something!
