Actually no sarcasm intended. Misread you thinking S6. It's bad enough they copy each other's phones, they could at least not copy the "6" and the "s". You think if Apple jumped right to iPhone 8 next time, Samsung would copy that too and skip 7? Would be hilarious to see.
Funny how the circlejerk of benchmarks on iOS devices began last year with the iPad Pro. Before that benchmark apps were "irrelevant because software was so optimized". Which was actually true, before iOS 7 and up was introduced.
All I know is I will go back to Android if Apple removed the headphone jack or doesn't give me an adapter for FREE to convert a lightning port cable to 3.5mm headphone jack. I love to listen to music on the go on my way to school and waiting between classes but I'm not spending a dime to get a dumb adapter because Apple wants to make their phones even smaller? I will miss texting on my Macbook Pro though 
Why have the port at all then? Might as well just make them connect to the lightning port.
2.5 to 3.5 converters are readily available. I believe Nokia actually supplied them back in the day.
For me personally I wouldn't come back to the iPhone. I've made the switch back to Android with the S6 more than 3 months ago and couldn't be happier. I've also recently bought a rMBP 2015 13inch and I know it would be great to have the MacBook and an iPhone for the integration, but because I really feel like 'at home' with using Android and Samsung's Touchwiz, I will take the workarounds for transferring photos and stuff for granted.
I just came back to a 128GB iPhone 6 from a Nexus 6P on Tuesday afternoon. The 6P is an amazing device that I had zero issues with but I strangely felt relieved when I popped my SIM into this 6!
Best of both worlds: iPhone 6s or 6s Plus and a Nexus 6P. Just alternate between devices as and when.
Not an option of many

Now I have several Apple devices the way it all syncs is something I couldn't live without now
This conundrum is like owning a significant amount of DSLR equipment. If you're invested in Canon and have flashes and lenses, it is harder to convert to Nikon and so on unless there isn't much of a financial loss and provided the experience is similar. The Nexus devices are great and more so this year. I like my 6s Plus but most days wish it had some Android features.
You're right. I guess benchmarks matter to apple people the same way DXO ratings matter to samsung people.
Benchmarks are not always representative if real world usage but DxO ratings are actually pretty representative for High ISO and DR measurements. Their total rating system is a bit dubious though.You're right. I guess benchmarks matter to apple people the same way DXO ratings matter to samsung people.
As for the actual camera, my S6 gave me more keepers and the images looked a bit more finished. The 6s Plus while pleasing, I get more blurry shots. Maybe the OIS is better on the S6!
As far as dxo it doesn't measure blown highlights or over saturation or white balance shift or what is achievable with post processing. Which is similar to what you are saying about benchmarks.
A lot of this is discussing nuances as most modern phones are up to whatever task.
Blown highlights is part of DR. The rest is up to the jpeg engines processing.
As much as I like post processing my DSLR images, I feel the opposite of my phone camera images. I unfortunately have to do quite a bit to get my iPhone images to look acceptable to me.
But then again most people use their phones as their primary or only camera so I'm hardly the one to judge.
Well the best camera is the one that you have with you. Even though I have a bunch of bodies and a bunch lenses I always have my phone with me.
My Note 5 takes decent pics and has some nice features. I still think the shutter is a bit slow due to the need to focus again. My wife's iPhone takes pics super quick. I think low light photos are a bit better on the Note 5. Both cameras seems good though. I'm debating on just trying the 6S Plus and seeing if I like it. If not, I can return it.
Just to finish out the thread, I picked up the 6S Plus last night. So far, I like it. Very fast. Time will tell to see if I keep it, but so far, it's nice to be back to iOS.
