The ultimate rivalry continues: Samsung v. Apple. The yearly upgrades cause us to ask the same question every year: which should we purchase? Hopefully, with this article, you will be more informed to make your final conclusions.
Apple: iPhone 6s:
Apple has introduced many new features that have allowed for many intelligent and much needed improvements. Their most advertised new feature is the next generation “Multi-Touch.” The iPhone will now sense how much pressure you apply to the screen, allowing for a multitude of new options that come with this technology. In addition to this new feature, Apple has introduced what it calls “Peek and Pop.” With the slight touch of your finger, you are able to view emails without actually having to open them and mark them as read (and perhaps lose track of them). In addition, you can “peek” at websites before you actually enter them, just giving you a snippet of what is to come.
In addition to this “Peek and Pop” feature, Apple has yet again revolutionized how photography will be handled through your hand-held device. In the iPhone 6s, Apple has introduced iSight, a new camera that captures sharp and detailed photos; allows for 4K HD videos; and a new and improved “Selfie Cam” which takes 5 megapixel pictures, allowing for those crystal-clear selfie shots.
Samsung: Galaxy S6 Edge:
Samsung has always been the front runner between the two phones in complexity and customizability, and the Galaxy 6 Edge is no exception. With the new and improved S Voice, you are able to make commands right away with the sound of your voice, opening apps within seconds. Samsung has also introduced and refined two new charging methods. With their new and improved Fast Charging, you are able to full charge your phone within 1-2 hours. If the swift charging isn’t your cup of tea, Samsung’s newly introduced Wireless Charging Pad surely is. As referenced in my previous Trey’s Take on Technology, this charger is revolutionary in our new era of laziness. All you have to do is drop the phone on the charger.
Still not sure? Maybe pricing will help.
The iPhone 6s is $650 for 16GB; $750 for 64GB.
The Samsung GS6 Edge is $672 for 32GB; and $768 for 64GB. *
