As requested by many of my readers, here's a side by side comparison chart of iPhone 6S and 6S Plus 16GB hero or 'value for money' postpaid plans of both Globe Telecom and Smart Communications.
DISCLAIMER: Information presented on both of these tables are based on data provided by Smart Communications and Globe Telecom via their initial press releases on their latest iPhone bundles posted online within the week of November 6, 2015. As such, these are subject to change depending on each company's decisions with regard to including new products and services in the above-mentioned hero plans.

Globe iPhone 6S Plus - Php 2,449
Main Inclusion:
Smart iPhone Plan 2000 for iPhone 6S
~ 10GB Mobile Data allocation per month plus All Month Surf* for the entire length of contract
(versus 10GB/month from Globe only when you sign up until December 31, 2015 - after which, you can use a portion of the consumable amount to subscribe to a Surf Pack; 5GB for Php 999, 10GB for Php 1,799)
Smart iPhone Plan 2000 for iPhone 6S
~ 15GB Mobile Data allocation per month plus All Month Surf* for the entire length of contract
(versus 10GB/month from Globe only when you sign up until December 31, 2015 - after which, you can use a portion of the consumable amount to subscribe to a Surf Pack; 5GB for Php 999, 10GB for Php 1,799)
*Smart's All-Month Surf browsing allows you to do non-mobile-data-intensive online activities without charging against your monthly Data Volume Allowance, practically giving you free access to many of the sites you visit regularly, including the following:
Globe My Lifestyle Plan 1799 for both iPhone 6S and 6S Plus
~ Unlimited Text Messaging to All Networks and Unlimited Calls to Globe and TM numbers
(versus 300 Texts To All Networks and 300 Minutes of Calls to All Networks via both Smart iPhone Plans)
TechPinas Conclusion
Off hand, it's clear that Smart Postpaid offers bigger data allocation on their iPhone 6S and 6S Plus Plans (especially for the latter), which makes sense since we're already in the digital age and one uses an iPhone mainly to connect to the internet on the go.
