True story: Last Friday on my way to work in NYC. I passed by two individuals (I assumed tourists) taking picture of themselves in Times Square, one using iPhone 6+ the other either a Samsung Note Edge or Galaxy S6 edge...guess who's cellphone got swiped by a phone snatcher...you've guessed it the "iPhone 6+". I see this very phenomena almost everyday...someone's iPhone get stolen amid the crowded tourist spots. BTW, the 6+ owner gave chase to the robber but the crook was too quick to disappear in the crowd...morally of this story...in the eyes of criminals, any "high end" Samsung cellphone is not worth stealing...

From the photos taken that is taken in less light while maintaining the color and glare efficiency, I'd say iPhone. Display between s6/n4 & iPhone, both are good.

I am an apple fan boy. But in my honest opinion, samsung has an upperhand with display and camera this time.
