My wife has an iPhone, and I thought that screen was amazing until I got my S6 Edge. Holy crap OLED is better. It's about time Apple started trying to make the best smartphone again, because that title no longer belongs to them.
Got a tip for us?

You can go wait in line for the next 2 years while putting a third mortgage on your home.
Apple doesn't have to put the best tech in their stuff because fanboys buy it anyway. They leave the best products to Samsung.
AMOLED might be a 7S technology. They'll have the design of the 7 in hand at that point. Of course, none of that is guaranteed. I would expect iPhone 8 to be on an AMOLED display. Apple is overdue and the technology is nearly even when it comes to efficiency.
Prediction, whatever new iPhone comes out next year is not the iPhone 7 but another derivative of the iPhone 6. This breaks the "tick toc" release schedule that has been with the iPhone since the start. Thus, this new OLED screen is for the iPhone 7 two years from now.
Hilarious!!! I'm not sure if you understand that Samsung has the option to remove extra contrast/saturation to the screen. It is honestly just 100 times better in every regard. The only way that you could honestly dis that screen is if you had a personal hatred over top quality.
For the record there is a difference between AMOLED and OLED. http://oled.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/oled-tv-articles/oled-vs-amoled.html
"Please keep the 3.5-mm audio jack!"
"OLED sucks!"
"I still miss the 30-pin connector."
I have both in this house right now. Your fanboyness is eating your logic.
Display
iPhone 6S: 4.7in 750x1334, 326ppi
Galaxy S6 Edge: 5.1in 2560x1440 Super AMOLED, 577ppi
The Galaxy S6 Edge is the clear winner on paper when it comes to screen quality with a larger 5.1in display, a higher QHD resolution and a higher pixel density.
I found that the flickering was a brightness issue, the lower the brightness the more likely you are to see the flicker. On youtube someone suggest a screen filter to darken the colors instead of trying to reduce the current going to the display.
The term "best tech" doesn't mean a thing other than what spec hounds deem to be "best tech".
Same for "best products"
Since Apple gave up to be stubborn about size they have put a big dent into SAMSUNG phones.
Quality will always eventually win, as word gets around.
The way Apple integrates everything for a balanced user experience is just very good.
Even the dumbest fanboys can figure out when a product is not good.
I don't think there are 50 million uncritical iPhone users.
Plenty of complaints about annoying iPhone, iOS and App "features".
Every OLED screen on the market is of "AM" type. It stands for Active Matrix - meaning it has a thin film transistor (TFT) layer that operates the display. In fact, you can call modern LCDs "AMLCD" and it's technically correct, too, but no one does that (although you see them called "TFT LCD" sometimes).
It's up to marketing people what they name their displays. Samsung went with AMOLED to make you think it's better. LG sticks with just OLED.
That is correct, but again, there are no passive OLED screens on the market any more (if there ever were). Everything from smartwatches to huge television sets switched to active matrix long before the mass adoption of the technology.
I suppose if the award for best smartphone was based solely on the screen specs, you might have a point.
Not at all. It's based on tons of different factors. Don't get me wrong, iPhones are amazing and better than 95% of other phones out there. However, they aren't the best - but they sure do look pretty.
