Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus

Apple iPhone 6S Plus

Using The New Screens

How well do the new designs cope with the different screens? The simple answer is that the answer is unclear. I have the feeling that the software for both the 6 Plus and the S6 Edge were put together with a brief to not be that different that the predecessors. That makes the transition to these devices comfortable for users – the only thing that has changed is the size (in the case of the iPhone 6 Plus) and the shape of the screen (for the Galaxy S6 Edge) – but doesn’t fully exploit the potential both the Plus and the Edge offer.

I’m hopeful that both devices will continue to gain new features through software updates to make best use of the unique capabilities. Given the six month lead time that the iPhone 6 Plus has had, Apple has had a number of opportunities to do so and hasn’t. Beyond the additions in the software to provide an extra column to scroll through elements such as incoming emails or your address book, there’s been very little change in software to build on the uniqueness of the iPhone 6 Plus.
