iPhone 6s or Samsung s7

gingerdad

Work phone so cost and contract not the issue.

Have had 3 iPhones but like the idea of the Samsung being ip68 rated.

Pros and cons of each.

Will be on o2 but have no choice in that.

The Android is the money saving option, Apple are trendy, nerdy expensive to run restricted fashion accessories.

The phone that costs £569 for the smallest capacity version is "the money saving option"? Really?

The words fan and boi come to mind with your post...

Both are really good, but the S7 is packed with better hardware. I've always preferred the extra features and functionality of Android as well.

Aftersales hardware support if you get a fault is better with Apple though for the first year, but if i remember right (please correct me if i'm wrong) but Samsung warranty is 2 year.

I wouldnt touch an Apple device until they stop locking stuff down.

BIL bought the first Iphone and i said i will bluetooth files to him and he said he couldnt do that, I thought !!!!!! I have been able to do that for years how can you not do that on a modern device?

Not that it cannot but Apple didnt want its users doing it, what a stupid idea.

The only time you can Bluetooth photos/files etc is through AirDrop on qualifying handsets and that's when it decides to work!

I've had pretty much every iPhone since the 3G and even I'd recommend the Samsung Galaxy S7 over the iPhone 6s right now!

If you prefer iOS then the iPhone. If you prefer Android the the Samsung.
If you have bought a few apps you don't wan to lose then the iPhone as you can't transfer them to the Samsung.

can live with loosing the apps, not a big spender on things like that.

just looking at maybe changing - 6 years with apple so maybe time for a different route.

You will be pining for iOS after a few months... I found android quite frustrating and there's potential security issues with android.

Would that be like the potential security issue with Apple a couple of years ago when thousands of people had their photos hacked?

I have just checked and the iPhone has a 1 year limited guarantee

Get the s7 edge better than the s7 IMHO.
