I am about to get a new phone for my birthday and I can't decide what I want. I either want an Iphone 6 or a Samsung Galaxy S7. What should I get?

There are several YouTube tutorial and reviews from professionals and people like you of both phones that show off the features, apps and what each does that the other can't that you should look up. It really depends on what you yourself need.

If going the Samsung route get the S7 Edge with the big 5.5 inch screen that curves over the S7. You can see news and other feeds discretely come up on the edge of the screen if talking to people or have set it down. The best part of all is that they have come up with a way that all of the parts are waterproof. If you happen to splash a drink or drop it into a puddle or even a pool it won't be ruined.

The downside is that you may not like the Android operating system that comes with Chrome browser and Google Play. It's not compatible with Apple and Itunes. If you have a music collection in Itunes you can't bring it over.

The S7 Edge is designed to be and do what the Apple Iphone's can't and the processor is faster for one thing. They have also noted how it fits into your hands so it's easy to hold with one hand firmly and text or surf. It's also made out of airplane grade material.

The Iphone 6S Plus (don't get the 6 r SE as comes late fall or early quarter 2017 the 7 is out. It would be 3 generations behind) also has a 5.5. inch screen which is nice and big. It is designed to be the phone for people who have difficulty using technology, phones, apps and just want someting easy that works. All of your icons are easily accessible and you have Itunes which you are familiar with no doubt and the app store. The processor though not as fast as Samsung is equally good as an A9.

What would I do? Well YouTube has a ton of videos by professional critics and people like you discussing and showing the differences and all the critical apps, web surfing and features of each. I would have a look at those as it will help you determine what it is you actually need and or want.

The next thing I would do is walk into an Apple Store. They are on commission but if you ask them to compare the Iphone 6S to Samsung S7 Edge you will leave with some information you can use for later. You can also play around with one that is connected to the Internet in store and see how it feels and if you like it without buying.

I don't know who your carrier is but usually their store and Best Buy has the Samsung S7 Edge on display and maybe you could ask a ton of questions of these people and like Apple Store test out the demo in store.

Samsung products in the past have been known to have batteries that do not last long or are sucked dried by apps and don't last full day charge. They have made the battery especially on the Edge much better to rectify that complaint.

Here are the differences between the S7 and the S7 Edge phones. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

I've had both an Iphone and a Samsung Galaxy. I prefer the Samsung over the Iphone. While at first I missed the ITunes store and some of the Apps and music downloads. Once I learned to use the Android system I wound it far easier and more useful than Iphone. Iphone is to restrictive on what you can access whereas the Android system allows you to access everything but ITunes and there is probably a way to do that I just haven't found it yet.

The Samsung updates load much faster and the software to protect it is far less expensive than Iphone. There are definitely some nice options on the new Iphone that are nice though I just don't see the need for them overriding the pluses of the Samsung.

I personally think you should get the iphone 6. Now am a iphone user, and i think that i phones have good quality camera, storage, and all that good stuff. but then again i dont use a samsung galaxy S7, so i wouldn't know
BUt something you can do is to look at the pros and cons of getting each. You can ask around your school and take tallies how many people said one thing and how many people said the other.
