2 completely different beasts. Both have their pros and cons. Spend a bit of time with both and make a decision - although be prepared to be labelled a "sheep" if you opt for the Apple as most non-Apple people tend to lumber us all together...

Galaxy if you want the very best phone on sale today or the iPhone if you want 2 year old tech wink

I took delivery of a normal S6 yesterday - the phone is stunning.

Depends what you want from a phone to be honest. If you want tried, trusted and simple to operate then go for the iphone but many people have data issues and poor signal. They don't operate well with TuGo and only a 12 month warranty.

If you want something a little special, customisable and up to date technology then go for the S6.

Try them out in your local stores and get a feel for each. Ask your friends what they use and their opinions of the phones. Only you can decide what's best for you. It's ok asking on here but you know what they say about opinions....

According to @viridis's stupendous review it would be the S6. (Yes I know his was the Edge......even so) wink

To be fair, you just lumbered all non apple users together...

You'll find most android users on here also have apple devices, I have one I use for smoothing poly filler with as the edge on it is perfectly straight.

Joking aside, it's just most find the androids better, but September always beckons a different kind of user.

You wanna see why the sheep name gets thrown about, wait til around two weeks before its even announced, ....

I've been around phones long enough to know what it's like every year when Apple release a new one. The people who feverishly queue up for days outside an Apple store are fully deserving of the sheep title because, lets be honest, that's a little bit pathetic.

 

However, I think the point I was trying to make is that not all Apple users are like that. I wouldn't say that I have any particular loyalty to Apple, for example. They just happen to make products which I like and which work well together. It's pretty obvious that there are plenty of people on this forum who automatically assume I (along with other iPhone owners) know nothing about phones because I have an iPhone and not an Android handset, but that's fine with me. If you like Android, then that's cool and I can understand why. I had a HTC Desire, One X, One X Plus, One, One M8, Note, Note 3, Galaxy S4, HTC 8X, Samsung Ativ S and Lumia 930 before going back to Apple, so I wouldn't say I have a one-track mind either wink
