I'm thinking I'm going to upgrade and get rid of the Plus I bought and get a regular 6s. After that I will probably wait until the 7s regardless of what the 7 has to offer. I'm thinking of going back on the s cycle.
 
Looks like the front camera, camera bump and possibly the antenna bands are to be upgraded and rectified. If all that happens in conjunction with what's listed above, I'll be very very happy to upgrade from my 5s!
 
homestly I've thought about upgrading this year, but my 5s is doing fine! I feel like it would be a waste to upgrade. It performs perfectly for my needs. My only complaint is that the battery is starting to go. I have an Apple Watch and having the Bluetooth on isn't helping. Maybe I'll get the battery replaced though.
 
iPhone 6 plus here. I will upgrade. I am a yearly cycle kinda guy. Pass down my old phone to a family member or sell it and purchase the new model. Thats is my guilty pleasure spend every year and it also works out because its usually around my birthday is Sept.
 
Will most likely upgrade but not for the above reasons. I only got the 64GB model of the 6 and it's starting to feel a bit too tight.
 
It's tempting. I'm hoping to get my first iPhone in October, and I'm thinking about the 6 Plus, as it will be cheaper. But some features just seem really good to me. Force Touch? Depends how they implement it. It made sense on the :apple:Watch since it doesn't have enough room for the clutter on the side, but I really don't know what they will do. I also don't want to hurt my fingers. And if there is a 32GB base model, then I will likely go for it. But then the 6 and 6 Plus might also have 32GB base models.
 
Tempting yes.. the 4S and 5S were excellent phones and were big leaps ahead of the 4 and 5.

If the 6S does something similar, in excess of the specs already posted, then it could be another winner.
 
Upgrading to the 6s should be a no brainer if you need a new phone and can't wait till next summer.
The only "possible" negative I see is the pixel size has been reduced in the new camera. Only testing will reveal if lower light images are more noisy.

Regardless, it's going to be a very nice update. :apple:
 
finally upgrading for sure in Sept. been running a 32GB iPhone 5 and ios8 and it has slowly been slowing down to a crawl. The only thing that is annoying is that I have AT&T, I can get the subsidized price which I'm already saving up for. Just annoying that I can't order directly from Apple for the 2 year commitment, and no I do that Next rip-off.
