4) iPhone 6s Plus has more storage than Galaxy S6 edge+
For a long time, two of my favorite things about Samsung's Galaxy phones were their removable batteries and support for memory cards. All of the GS6 phones, unfortunately, have fixed batteries and lack memory card slots.
That means built-in storage is more important to Galaxy phones than ever, yet Samsung chose to offer the GS6 edge+ with only two storage configurations: 32GB and 64GB. The iPhone 6s phones are not only available with more storage, they come in three configurations: 16GB, 64GB and 128GB.
Sure, you can use any number of seemingly endless cloud storage options to mitigate this issue, but if for any reason you're still slightly wary of the cloud (I am), or 64GB of internal storage simply isn't enough, the iPhone 6s Plus could be a better option for you than the GS6 edge+.
5) iPhone 6s Plus is more colorful than Galaxy S6 edge+
Pink phone guy, I am not. But the new pink, nay "Rose Gold," iPhone 6s is apparently quite popular. Some estimates suggest that as much as 40 percent of Apple's iPhone 6s preorders were for the pink version.
REUTERS/David GrayThe GSG edge+ comes in just two colors: the admittedly eye-catching, shimmering "Gold Platinum," and the more business-like "Black Sapphire." The iPhone 6s Plus, on the other hand, is available in four colors: silver, gold, "Space Gray," and Rose Gold.
To be honest, I prefer the black and gray color options for the GS6 edge+ and iPhone 6s Plus, respectively, so this isn't an issue for me personally. However, some folks clearly care about color, based on those preorder estimates — and I admit, the new pink iPhone is slick looking … if that's your thing.
6) Apple Watch a no-go on Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+
I'm currently switching back and forth between two smartwatches: The Apple Watch and Huawei Watch. While I can use the Huawei Watch with both the GS6 edge+ and the iPhone 6s Plus, the thanks to Google's Android Wear iOS app, the Apple Watch works only with iPhones.
The Apple Watch is more user-friendly and "polished," and as such it spends more time on my wrist than Huawei's digital timepiece. Unfortunately, Apple Watch's incompatibility with the GS6 edge+ dissuades me from using that phone as frequently as my iPhone — which, I'm sure, is exactly the way Apple wants it.
Brian Sacco I applaud Google for releasing the Android Wear app for iOS, and it sucks that Apple hasn't offered a similar options for Android users. But I'm not surprised. Apple clearly wants the Watch to serve as one more hook into its ecosystem. That's not Samsung's fault, and it probably shouldn't count as a strike against the GS6 edge+ … but for me it does.
Again, this story isn't meant to insinuate that the iPhone 6s Plus would come out on top in a fight with GS6 edge+, which is why I also wrote a counterpoint post, "6 Things Galaxy S6 edge+ does that iPhone 6s Plus can't."
You can learn more about the iPhone 6s Plus on Apple's website, and Samsung's site has the goods on its GS6 edge+.
