iPhone 6s or Galaxy S6? Which Smartphone Is Best to Buy?

As soon as Apple released its new lineup of smartphones users got a new question ‘iPhone 6s or Galaxy S6’ – which model is better to purchase? If you haven’t upgraded your phone this year you might really want to first compare the two gadgets as they both have some pros and cons.

Why iPhone 6s vs Samsung S6 [also compare the Samsung and TSMC A9 chip used in the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus lineup]? Well, firstly the iPhone 6s is the most recent Apple device with tons of new features and cool options. Secondly, Galaxy S6 is Samsung’s flagship smartphone at the moment. It is fair to compare them both when you are making your choice.

iPhone 6s vs Samsung Galaxy S6

While Apple didn’t change the design of its new iPhone models, Samsung did big job while creating its S6 smartphones. The company chose to work with metal frame, back panel made of glass and went away from cheap plastic parts. When you look at the iPhone 6s you see the same iPhone 6 design but Apple added the new color option for its ‘s’ handsets: rose gold.

When you compare the specs of iPhone 6s and Galaxy S6 you can see that both gadgets allow recording 4K videos. Samsung added the 16 megapixel camera and Apple decided to go with the 12 megapixel camera and bigger aperture. Thus the iPhone 6s allows taking better low-light images and use optical image stabilization. The iOS devise definitely wins over Android in terms of camera features. Besides, you can enjoy taking Live Photos on iPhone 6s and this option isn’t available on other smartphones right now.

Apple offers 3D Touch feature and 4.7-inch screen with 1334 x 740 resolution while Samsung offers the 5.1-inch display with 2560 x 1440 resolution.

The 6s smartphone gets the newest 1.85 GHz A9 processor and 2GB RAM. S6 device gets the Samsung’s chip with 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 and 2.1 GHz Cortex-A57. Once again, the new 2015 Apple iPhone 6s is performing better than Samsung Galaxy S6, according to benchmark tests. While iPhone scores 2488, the S6 models gets only the score of 1213.

The iPhone has smaller battery capacity compared to Galaxy device. Apple released the 1715 mAH battery for iPhone 6s and Samsung launched the 2550 mAH battery for Galaxy S6. At the same time, it looks like users are not that happy with their Galaxy battery life time.

The Galaxy model costs less than iPhone and you get enjoy more storage space for your money if you choose S6 over 6s. Still if you wish to get 3D Touch, better performance, Live Photos you should better get the iPhone 6s.

Apple Assures It Is Impossible to Unlock iPhone

A lot of users are familiar with unlock iPhone iOS 9 options. There are two types of unlock you most likely know. One is the factory IMEI unlock from AT&T or other carrier and the other one is unlocking the phone to access your personal information.

Well, Apple started to say that it was impossible to unlock iPhone with iOS 8 release. This year the company officially launched iOS 9, updated it to iOS 9.0.1 and 9.0.2. The Cupertino-based giant still assures that it is impossible to unlock the gadgets if they are running of these platforms.

The well-known iPhone maker believes that unlocking is not possible and when the judge asked Tim Cook [the company’s CEO] to unlock iPhone and access data stored on it – Cook assured it wasn’t possible for Apple to accomplish.

The iOS giant simply doesn’t store encryption keys for iPhone and iPad that is updated to iOS 8 or iOS 9. Passcode is required to access a locked screen. Still there are services that can bypass this restriction and find the correct passcode by tricking the system.

If you wish to learn how to unlock iPhone iOS 8 or iOS 9 to become SIM free [this is the different type of unlock as we already mentioned] you are welcome to select the corresponding unlocking package for your iPhone model and mobile network. You’ll become fully unlocked pretty soon and get the chance to use different SIM cards from various networks from all over the world.

There is no iOS 9 unlock code or iOS 8 unlock passcode to use with factory unlock. All you need to know is your IMEI number and your iPhone statuses as well as original carrier you are locked to. Use iPhone IMEI network check online to get this information about your handset.
