Virtual Reality Software
The Samsung Galaxy S8 comes with its own VR software powered by Facebook Oculus. You can even get the VR headset for free if you preorder the Galaxy S8 by April 21. The iPhone does work with VR headsets but does not have a built-in VR support.

A Heart Rate Sensor
Very thoughtful. You can keep your heart rate in check at all times. If you wanted to do that with your iPhone, you would have to get the Apple watch.

Desktop Version
You can run the Galaxy S8 to your monitor, a standard mouse, and keyboard to use a desktop version of your smartphone. You can actually use the smartphone OS with a mouse. With your iPhone, you can just mirror the screen on another display.
