- [Voiceover] The iPhone 6S and Samsung Galaxy S7
are two of the best phones out there right now,
so in this two-part video series,
we're gonna look at a bunch of reasons
why one phone can be considered better than the other.
Number one, fingerprint scanner.
It's better supported by more third-party apps,
allowing you to use it for security
more often than on the Galaxy.
Two, reversible charging port.
The lightning port allows you
to plug in the charger in either direction,
making it easier to do so at night, when the lights are off.
Three, physical vibrate switch.
This allows you to easily put the phone on vibrate,
but more importantly, acts as a visual cue,
which can save you from accidental rings.
Four, durability.
The 6S uses a metal back,
instead of a glass back like on the S7,
which makes it less susceptible to damage,
at least when it falls on its back.
Five, 3D touch.
This allows you to push in the iPhone screen
with the extra pressure acting as an alternate input method.
Allows you to do things ranging from
firing a gun in first person shooter,
to opening app shortcuts for the camera,
giving you shortcut options for Selfie Cam, Video,
Slo-mo, et cetera, without having to open the app itself.
Six, App Store.
The App Store often gets new apps first,
by weeks or even months, gets updates for apps first,
and sometimes even gets better versions of the same apps.
Seven, restrictions.
Better parental controls with restrictions
that allow you to block content and actions
through a password-protected setting.
Eight, family sharing.
You can share apps and purchases
with up to six people in your family,
which can offer pretty significant savings
on music and apps.
Nine, no carrier bull (beep).
The iPhone doesn't come with any
pre-installed carrier apps or bloatware.
The S7 comes loaded with a ton of it.
The iPhone comes in a clean and elegant box,
no matter where you bought it.
The S7 comes in different boxes
with the carrier phones being cheap versions
compared to the unlocked international ones.
On top of that, the S7 often comes
with unnecessary carrier logos on the phone.
The iPhone only has the Apple logo on the back,
no trampstamp.
10, faster updates.
The iPhone gets updates directly from Apple,
so you get them both quicker and more frequently.
The S7 can take months before a new update is released,
due to having to build the Google,
then Samsung, then the carrier.
11, better resale value.
Historically speaking,
the iPhone has a better resale than Galaxy phones,
so getting an iPhone means more money back,
later on when you switch.
12, better sound.
A richer and fuller sound from the loudspeaker
translates into a better audio experience.
13, faster.
As shown in our speed tests,
the 6S is significantly faster than the S7,
offering faster load-up times and better multitasking.
14, Google ecosystem available.
You obviously get Apple apps on the iPhone,
but you also get some of the best apps from Google.
On the S7, you get Google apps but no Apple apps,
so it's really the best of both worlds.
15, more LTE.
The 6S has more LTE bands than the S7,
making it a better phone for travelling internationally
as it's more likely to be supported
in the country you're visiting.
16, tap to top.
You can tap the notification bar in any app
to automatically scroll to the top of that app,
especially useful for when you scroll
really far down a social media feed.
17, continuity.
Move seamlessly between Apple devices
like opening Notes from your Mac on your iPhone,
or answering a call from your iPhone on your iPad.
18, text to speech.
You can have selected text read back to you out loud,
pretty much anywhere you can actually select text,
which is nice when you want to read something
like a long article without having to look at the screen.
19, Bluetooth battery indicator.
With supported accessories, you can see the battery level
of a connected Bluetooth peripheral.
20, iMessage.
This allows texting with sent, received, read indicators,
and also lets you send voice pitch, short videos, et cetera,
like Snapchat.
Group messaging is also more consistent
and allows you to enable Do Not Disturb
on the group message,
and lets you remove yourself from the group.
21, Night Shift mode.
Many studies have shown that exposure to bright blue light
in the evening can affect your circadian rhythms,
and make it harder to fall asleep.
Night Shift uses your iOS device's clock and geolocation
to determine when it's sunset in your location,
then it automatically shifts the colors in your display
to the warmer end of the spectrum.
22, Hey Siri.
This feature allows you to say "Hey Siri" to the phone
at any time, whether the screen is on or off,
and Siri will open up automatically
so you can ask it a question.
23, thinner and lighter.
The iPhone is lighter, 143 grams versus 152,
and thinner, 7.1 millimeters versus 7.9.
24, AirDrop.
AirDrop lets you easily share photos and videos
with other iPhones, iPads and Mac computers.
25, higher internal storage model available.
In the US, only the 32 gigabyte model
is available for the S7,
and internationally only 64.
The iPhone is available in 16, 64 and 128 gigabyte models.
So those are the top 25 reasons the iPhone 6S
can be considered better than the Samsung Galaxy S7.
Now the word better is subjective,
so be sure to watch the Galaxy S7 version
which is annotated somewhere in the screen,
and linked down below in the description.
Thanks for watching.
