That illustration appears to imply that Samsung is getting the 'Answers' from Apple. I'd say exactly the opposite.
Which is better S6 or iPhone 6?

Oh, let's be honest here. Samsung has gotten plenty of answers from Apple. This past year or so, however, they've been be doing their own studying and it shows.
Folks say that the S6 borrows heavily from the iPhone 6. Perhaps. ...but the iPhone 6 appears to borrow heavily from the Samsung Ativ S:
Hmmmm...
...but it appears the Ativ S got some inspirational inspiration itself:
These guys "are inspired" by each other and, to me, that's totally cool and fine. Its just some fan-people and attorneys that it seems to bother.
Okay, okay, I just pulled all that outra my heiny but there seems to be some truth in it.

I get it. Without Ford, there wouldn't be Dodge. Each didn't necessarily learn from one another and innovates/improves some aspect of a car. Without Palm, there wouldn't be Apple. Without Apple, there wouldn't be Google in the smartphone arena.
I could be totally wrong as I am certainly no tech blogger or expert. My sense is the iOS and Android paradigm is somewhat similar to my car analogy. Android, from a OS perspective, took the next logical and evolutionary step that allowed customization and multi-tasking but also took a different direction of more open source making it easier for app developers.
Samsung took what it learned from Apple and began trying to differentiate itself from an ecosystem and hardware perspective. Samsung has pursued a unique and what some would say took a shotgun approach in device development and lacked focus trying to be so much too many different market segments. I believe that, to date, Samsung has taken what it learned form its successes and failures and has taken a more focused approach.
In my opinion, the training wheels came off after the release of the GS3 and the GN3. They got caught napping with the GS4 and GS5 falling into the familiar approach by Apple by introducing incremental improvements expecting that to be accepted as innovation. In the same timeframe, Apple began to feel the heat and appeared to resort to litigation instead of innovation to compete. Apple is slowly changing as well taking a less patrician approach and stepping out of its comfort zone trying their hand at widgets, the beginnings of multi-tasking, larger screen sizes and NFC. If the Cupertino group doesn't adopt a very different culture that is key to true innovation, they will become the RIM of a couple of years ago and may find themselves in a worse spot than RIM. Apple, in some aspects, are a generation or two behind Samsung.
True. However Apple still has a VERY large and loyal following. They'd have to mess up consistently to budge that following.

I agree but I think we will see a imperceptible shift that started with the i6 to Android and Samsung specifically begin to grow very slowly. It has been gaining momentum since the GS3.
I think its awesome that I can have apple build quality without iOS and all the shortcomings of the iPhone. I don't care if any copied or not. Just give me what I want.

I haven't upgraded from an Iphone 5, i did have a 5s for a short period of time but went back to an iPhone 5 becuase of a software issue that killed my battery. Samsung UI is also becoming like an iPhone but the Stock android software is the best!

You realize that without Palm there is no Apple. Without Apple, there is no Android. Multi-tasking, widgets, user customization, NFC/MST dual mobile payment formats and dual wireless charging standards that will be in the GS6 were copied from Apple ?
S6 camera seems to do pretty well against mighty iPhone 6 plus. White balance on indoor shots seems a little more accurate on 6+, but that should be fixable through firmware update. I think camera wise you can go either way.

Apple products are soooo well designed. I am using an iPhone 5S until my edge is arriving. Compared to the S5, iPhone 5S looks so sexy. I just love looking at, using, and feeling this phone. I really hope I made the right choice by ordering the edge. I'm so excited XD

My wife has my old 5S...while I agree its very sexy and feels great, the screen is just sooooooo small. You must have small hands, I had to give it to my wife after 6 months, my hands are just too big.

If you are a Iphone person there is no reason for a Android person to make suggestions to you. Because you have learned the IOS system.
And as far as you are concerned they don't make nothing but a Iphone.
But when you get tired of being on a leash and want to break loose and learn a new operating system you are not coming to Android.
But its funny that Apple held back for so long to make bigger screens. And adopt some of the things the Android has been doing.
Now that Apple has a bigger screen they are suppose to be #1
Sorry Apple has a lot of restrictions on their phone.
And when a Iphone fan tried Android they are lost. And unless they have a friend with a Android they say the Android system it too hard to learn.
I left Iphones a year ago. learned by myself how to use the new operating system and get around on the phone.
I'm retire and had the time.
But I couldn't imaging going back to Iphones.
Yes Iphones has some feathers you don't have on the Android phones . And you can look at buildings and read what business they are.
But to me the Androids are easier to use once you learn them.
For you, you gonna have to make the deceision, because what I like you may not like.
Choices.

Please tell me the Android never goes to A Windows operating phone.
I really hate windows system and how the windows phones operate.
And I will defiantly leave the phone I have that uses it.
True, but some do recognize the light.
No, you are not coming to Android, Android is coming to you.
I don't think Windows Phone has ANYTHING that Android desires.

OS preferences aside, the S6 trumps the iPhone 6 if these things are important to you:
1) Better camera with OIS, much better for night time shots and video
2) MST payment system compatible with a much, much larger number of vendors
3) Dual wireless charging
4) 32gb in the base model is double what Apple offers
5) Quick charge nets 4 hours runtime in 10 minutes
6) Best in Class screen with more robust sunlight performance
OS preferences aside, the iPhone 6 trumps the S6 if these things are important to you:
1) 240fps slow motion at 720p vs 120fps on the S6.
I dunno -- maybe slow motion wins?
