Agree. You should buy an S7 right now.

even on the S6 isn't as good as on an iPhone... and on the S5 was just almost unusable.
Isnt it true though from the consumer viewpoint?Say what you want but this is a COMPLETE RIP-OFF the OLED Edge Display Samsung invented.And Samsung is the one supplying them to Apple.This is Apple outright admitting the S7 Edge is superior to current iphones
Not only Samsung ... the first widespread use of fingerprint scanner was made by Motorola with the Atrix... another good example of poor implementation
LOL.Do you even own an S5?The sensor is as accurate as my iPhone 6 just slightly slower
Must be a ****ing joke. Must be. You can't compare S6 fingerprint scanner with iPhone. Especially 6S.
I can and did. I have the Note 5 personally and the fingerprint scanner is flawless.
I really don't know how to answer you without being suspended ... You are judging a product that not only doesn't exist, but we don't even know if Apple is thinking about it.
The only phone the S7 Edge surely is superior is ... the S6 Edge.

No it's not and I personally tried it several times... It's not about speed, it's about ergonomics and precision.
But again, considering the escalation of you Samsung worshipping here, I strongly suggest you to buy a Samsung phone. You'll be surely satisfied.
Oh, definitely we have no idea. Things might change. After all, Apple never said they'll keep the same pattern regarding the iPhone change cycles. It's the guessing game here.
actually this post tells me a lot about your knowledge of the S5, since the S5 fingerprint sensor works in a totally different way (you basically have to swipe your finger, and it's unusable...).
And yes, I have an S5 and a brand new S6 in the room at 3 meters from me.

DigiTimes keeps getting worse and worse. This rumor is absurd. The "Edge" display is a complete gimmick anyway.
Maybe I increasingly tend toward function over form, but how will this work with a case? Most cases will cover the wrap, and even prevent you from using a screen that goes to the very edge on a flat display. And considering my 6S+ is the center of my digital life, and a substantial purchase for most, don't the majority of us use cases?
For that reason, my initial shock at the camera bump on the iPhone 6 receded quickly. Matter of fact, make the bump even bigger and put a bigger lens in. It's still enclosed within my fairly slim case.

My opinion is that a 5.8" display on an iPhone would be entirely too big. I find the 5.5" display on the current Plus models to be too big already. Unless Apple finds a way to drastically shrink the size of the iPhone's top & bottom bezels I don't see users adopting to an even bigger iPhone than the 5.5" Plus.
ADDITION: Other phone manufacturers have proven that it is possible to make a smaller phone without having to decrease or hinder a 5" to 6" display.

Insanity. 5.5" is already too big. I hope this is just wild speculative hot air. And I'm not a fan of Samsung's Edge models. If Apple has curved displays in mind, I hope they're thinking of something far, far more impressive than what we've seen so far, cause what's out there now is pretty lame.
Lol, when Samsung takes an idea it is "stealing", when Apple steals an idea it is "innovation". Let's just agree that all companies like to "borrow" from each other, especially when the competitor has a better idea.
Nonsense. They did not adopt NFC, or larger screens on phones or smaller tablets or active digitizers because they found a magical implementation - They were all solutions they said were not worth exploring. They did so after the public gravitated to it.

I did not say they would - just that if they do use it, some will pretend it was always a great idea.
Your is nonsense. Apple didn't "adopt NFC": they invented Apple Pay, having more success in that that the whole existing wireless payment so far. Larger screens aren't a "new idea": Apple switched to larger screens when they think the market was mature for that, and the huge success of iPhone 6/ 6S is just the demonstration they were right.
Apple hardly came first: they just do things better (most of the times).
So, I'll have to turn my hand, as well as move my fingers, to see something that is normally on the front screen? Speaking of moving my fingers, how are we to hold this device without invoking a touch instruction?
Sounds to me like someone didn't think this through.
I'll pass.

If all of those screens are touch-enabled, it would be difficult to hold the phone without triggering a touch event. How would the phone know the difference between simply holding it or performing a long-press to move icons?
