Hand which one is better in real life use, not just on paper  

If THIS is what matters, then Detailed specs are the LAST thing in the world, you should look into.

Specs say Literaly Nothing about how good a Phone performs in real life.

 

Let your sister play with the S7, S7 Edge, or iPhone 6s (plus) for a few minutes or a hour or so in any store, and then let her make a decision.

 

But i can say, the S7 ( Edge) is pretty much the best Smartphone right now, if you talk about the overall Package:

Camera speed/quality, Display, Battery Life, performance, Features etc. Reviews have been excellent for the s7 Edge, a few reviewers were talking about "Close to Perfection". In my Opinoin, that is true. There is SO little, this phone doesnt do well.

 

 

Pro iPhone: Consistent performance die to the perfect play between hardware and software, 4~ Years Updates, (maybe iOS Apps. Depending what she wants to do!!)

 

Pro Galaxy S7: Very sharp dispaly (1440p, instead of laughable 750p. Of course, more Pixels = need more power...), like 75% larger battery, better Camera, ip68 certified (Dust/Water resistant), SD Card slot, Much more open OS with much more possibilities to customize.

 

Honestly.... If your Sister isn't really into the iOS World, the S7 will be the better Device overall, that also costs at least 100 bucks les (Lower iPhone i consider is 64gb, because 16gb is a pure Insult).

she had the 6s plus 64gb for about 2 weeks before it was stolen from her so now she's using her 5s.

They're both great phones, the 6s is likely a little faster due to the A9 and SSD as well as better designed apps. Other than that, the S7 has more wins (camera, screen to an extent, contactless payment, etc).
