New phone

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to change my "old" moto g 2nd gen and I'm torn between Iphone 6s(maybe 7 if it comes out soon) and samsung s7.

I had both android and iOS before and enjoy both of them equally, but my problem is that I don't want to change my phone in the near future after buying one of these.

 

Requirements:

  • Reliable for about 3 or 4 years(mine is showing heavy signs of slow performance after 1 year)
  • Won't greatly slow down with a few apps open
  • Doesn't need to tinker around heavily to get best performance out of the box(I know my way around if it is needed, but I don't want to spend too much time figuring out the best settings/root/whatever possible)

I know the phone will end up slowing after a few system updates, but I would like to choose the one that will hold up better after a few years.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Which ever OS you prefer, I would prefer to have an Samsung S7 because of the phone being waterproof and looks better in my opinion! 

Should wait to see what the Iphone 7 offers in the coming months 

CPU: Intel i5 4670K 4.0GHz // Motherboard: MSI Gaming 3 Motherboard // RAM: 8GB Kingstone 1833MHz  // GPU: Saphire R9 390 Nitro // HDD: 500GB Toshiba // SSD: 120GB Sandisk // PSU: 550w

The 6S will be just fine.
