Why would someone claim that a single-core score (which is a partial score of a single core) would be more important than multi-core score (giving the score of the whole processor) especially if it is known that smartphones use all cores available when needed very efficiently. Just check Anandtech article on that.

Maybe just because Apple's iPhone 6S has only two cores compared to the usual four cores in other Android flagships, which means that in iPhone's case the full score is divided over lower amount of cores giving the higher single-core score.
It doesn't make sense to even talk about the single-core score because it doesn't mean a thing. :o

Interestingly, according to the geek bench 3 results from Gruber, the iPhone 6s also outperformed the Galaxy Note 5 in multi-core.

Gruber doesn't know much about statistics and averages apparently.
Here is a fresh side by side comparison between iPhone 6S and Galaxy S6 both presumably being new and clean.

Not surprised at all.
