Not my source; I didn't post it. Frankly I don't care what the source is. I personally dislike Samsung screens they give me a headache and the posted comparo show a better picture on the iphone.
Got a tip for us?

The difference is clearly visible in the above pics as to how superior the Samsung screen is and yet I am now a Samsung fanboy for pointing out the obvious.I Wonder what these guys will say once Apple uses Samsung AMOLED in 2018
It's clearly obvious that the Samsung one is more vibrant and is looking superb while the iPhone is washed out
Anyway considering that screen gives you a headache what are you gonna do in 2018 when that very same screen you are criticising is gonna be on the iPhone
This is similar to discussing what is fast? One persons fast is anothers' driving like a granny. (apologies to any grannies out there). What you call washed out I call truer color. What you call vibrant I call brighter and blown out.

I have two years to figure out what happens in 2018; not gonna worry about what I can't control. And neither should you.
Why do you ask? Why does anyone need an actual phone when there is youtube?
well there are few things mentioned above, like: horrible screen, blows everything, details lost, laggy...
i had both on my hands an hour ago, S6 and 6S+ (6S+ is mine). i dont know what youtube says, but... i think im not old enough to be delusional yet, but to my eyes, the screen of S6 looks awesome: no "blown" anything, no lost details. i can change the display mode from the basic to the adaptive mode whether i like to see more natural colours or more vibrant. there is even a hidden setting to "unsaturate" the vibrant adaptive mode. when compairing the screens side by side i see colours either from gray to gray or from black to gray. quess which has better dark areas. when i take a pic, i really cant see difference between them... well i see abit more details in the image of S6, i quess it is sharper because it has more pixels in a sensor. the gui feels smooth, but i dont know how it is working 24/7 because the phone belongs to my bf and im only "testing" it...
so, i dont think im delusional (enough) so the problem might be that you guys are making too radical assumptions from vids/reviews rather than seeing it on your own eyes.

And you clearly don't understand what PPI means....
I don't care much for the form of the iPhone 6 but the iOS and look of the devices display is amazing.
My iPhone 6 will last me until 8 releases. Maybe even until iPhone 9 releases in 2020.

Its NOT a waste of pixels.I suggest you look at this video
Skip to 4:10.The text on the S6 is consistently much more sharper than on the iPhone 6
And its not just about pixels.The colors on the S6 are much much more vibrant and make the 6 screen look pale and lifeless in comparison
Now be honest.Which one looks better and sharper here?The difference is visible plain as daylight on a camera even
The reason is the iPhone still relies on antiquated LCD technology whereas nearly all of Apple's rivals have transitioned to the superior AMOLED.And to conclude my argument,the S6 AMOLED you are seeing above is going to be implemented by Apple using the very same Samsung manufacturing in 2018 which by then will no doubt be "revolutionary" because Apple does it.
What do you mean "bloated"?In your blind hate for Samsung have you played with the S6 Touchwiz UI for a long period of time.Theres a night and day difference between Touchwiz on an S4,S5 and the Galaxy S6.Their UI rivals Apple at this point of time in terms of being user friendly
You still dont get it.Google's services are higher quality than Apple.Navigate through the Google Photos app and then icloud Photos and any unbiased person can see that Google's UI is much much better than Apple whilst at the same time being free and also taking up lesser space thanks to compression.
Also FYI,Apple was INTENTIONALLY earning nearly 40%/60% of Google's ad revenue from iOS as was revealed in the latest suit and in addition another one billion dollars.Hypocrisy by Tim Cook at its finest wouldnt you say?
I dont know about the S5 but the S6 Edge besides me currently has ZERO lags in UI
You conveniently forget to mention that iPhone sales are going to be on a decline from next quarter.So yes they are doing SOMETHING wrong
The 6S is on the lower rungs in DxOMark test which is a professional image quality tester free from bias.The S6 has the best and highest camera quality from accuracy point of view.
This is a marked difference between the SJ era and TC era.When SJ was around the iPhone had a WOW factor in all aspects of points of reference which is absent in Apple nowadays
Display wise, the Samsung might have higher PPI and specs but when I buy a 1000+ dollar phone, display is important to me as well as many other things : it should be fast, have excellent battery, integrate well with the phone's hardware, have timely OS updates etc.
The iPhone meets and exceeds all these criteria which is why I'm happy with it. I'm not in college any more so I don't have the time to stare at my crisp Quad HD display all day long and drool over it : I need to work and earn some dough ;-)
Cheers !
I still have iOS 7.2 on my iPhone 5C and it is fast! Some apps don't work; but I try to find alternatives that do work or I just use Safari!
I never upgrade the Apps either because they slow down with every update!
Some apps might slow down after some updates (sometimes because of some issues sometimes because of something else), but it's not a general rule that that is the case for all or even most apps when it comes to all or even most updates.
iPhone have ALWAYS been over priced. That hasn't changed since they launched. The 4s was just as over priced as the 6s.
If you're going on specs alone iPhone have always been behind the times. Thankfully anyone with sense knows specs don't tell the whole story.
Apple's number one priority has always been its profit margin. It's a business. You would quite frankly be stupid to expect anything different.
I agree the last magic iPhone was the 4. That was the phone that hooked me.
But here's the thing, there are hundreds of mobile phones by a lot of different brands. Nobody is making you buy an iPhone.
If you're so upset by the 16gb base, the over priced tag, the fact that Apples top priority is their profit.....don't buy an iPhone.
It really is that simple.

It's not holding back.
It's apple not rushing out half baked solutions like other manufacturers do.
Actually apples number one priority is providing a service, Peter drucker 101. They price their service accordingly. People pay the price for their service. Different, way different than stated.
Apples number one priority is their profit margin. That's any businesses number one priority.
Of course providing a service is important to them because that's the thing that makes them money.
Ther s not a single solitary business out there who's main aim isn't making money. And if it is they're doing it wrong.
Thankfully, as an apple user the service they provide is to me worth the extra money. For that extra money I get the phone (or tablet) that is for my needs, the best available. The software made specifically for that device not general software the manufacturer has customised and put on many different devices. And the best customer service I've ever come across.
And if one day that changes and I no longer think Apple is worth the extra cash will I make a post on the internet that Apple is behind the times, rip off and greedy?? No, I'll just buy another phone.
Letting me down? Apple doesn't owe me anything. And, I still don't understand why people care so much about people spending their money on the 16GB version. If you don't want/like it, then get the 64GB or 128GB.
No their list of priorities is as follows
1.Profit
2.Huge margins at the cost of some customer satisfaction
3.Customer Satisfaction
Instead of hyperbole, take a look at this, Peter drucker 101.

It has certainly been improving over the years, meaning that it wasn't as good as it could be initially or even a few years into it.
Hold on, a few drops in the framerate of some animations that most people don't even perceive or would care about, now that's totally noticeable and something that should be obvious to anyone, while clear burn-in that partially anyone would be able to see and most would be bothered by, that on the other hand is not something that's noticeable? Really?
Ah so thats burn in.Sorry but I never really saw it on any AMOLED displays I own till now.More to the point,one defective screen does not mean all S6 Edge suffer from it.FYI,I personally encountered a different type of issues with Apple's LCD.You know,the infamous yellow tint issue which is over a 100 pages on macrumors for both the 6 and the 6s and keeps popping up every time a new iPhone is released.Let me tell you,it took nearly 5 tries for my iPhone 6 and 2 for my Air 2 before I won the screen lottery
This does not mean all 6 suffer from this issue but also proves that Apple's LCDs also have similar problems.Thing is burn in problems are lesser in number than YELLOW TINT on an LCD.Another reasons why AMOLEDs are superior.The white is more even than on an LCD
My comment was simply on being able notice something vs not, as applied to something quite obvious (are we really talking about not realizing what burn-in is?) vs something much less so that has been waived around as being horrible and being astonishing as to how other people just can't see it.Ah so thats burn in.Sorry but I never really saw it on any AMOLED displays I own till now.More to the point,one defective screen does not mean all S6 Edge suffer from it.FYI,I personally encountered a different type of issues with Apple's LCD.You know,the infamous yellow tint issue which is over a 100 pages on macrumors for both the 6 and the 6s and keeps popping up every time a new iPhone is released.Let me tell you,it took nearly 5 tries for my iPhone 6 and 2 for my Air 2 before I won the screen lottery
