I tried to stick with a 5s, but after having two, I just didn't really ever like it. My first iPhone however, it was the 5c. That device is still my favorite ever. If it wasn't for the fact that the 6 has extra bands that help me get signal in places I didn't use to (T-Mobile), I'd still be with my 5c. I'm hoping and wishing on pipe dreams that there will be a 6c.

An iPhone 6 in a cheap plastic case? Yeah, just gotta have :rolleyes:
 
I'm still happy with my 5s :) I am really liking the large screen on the 6 Plus, but I think I'll be holding on to my 5s until the iPhone 6s Plus. I Would upgrade to rhe 6+ now if there was more of a spec bump.

But to answer the question, yes I still am very happy with my 5s. It runs iOS 8 smoothly and runs basic everyday tasks with ease. The battery is starting to slip, but otherwise, it is still a very capable phone :)
 
Happy with 5s, but I'm starting to get interested about the 6s recently. I plan on buying one launch day because by then I'll be more then ready to upgrade.
 
I still have my 5c, and it works just fine for the moment on iOS 8.1.2. I'm currently not planning on getting a new phone anytime soon (but would gladly accept one) becuase this phone works well enough. Would I like Touch ID? Sure. Better camera? Yup. Bigger screen? You betcha.

I'm just going to see how the 5c holds out for iOS 9 next year and go from there. If it runs iOS 9 fairly well, then I'll probably be skipping the 6S and go for the 7 in 2016. IF the 5c can run iOS 9 almost as well as it does 8.

I gave my 5 to my wife when the 6 came along and I'm really impressed with how well the 5 still performs with iOS 8. I don't see any significant difference in speed between the 5 and 6. I do enjoy the extra screen size when using the 6, but whenever I pick up the 5 I still get a feeling of "this is the perfect size for a phone". The only reasons I would hesitate in going back to the 5 are the amazing camera and the battery life (we're on a very strong network and the 5 battery life was OK for me but 6 is great). I think both screen sizes have pros and cons.
 
The King is dead long live the king.
6 is the best made to date. It'll keep getting better until something else disrupts the market.

I can't imagine going back to the 5s. You get spoiled with the thinner, lighter, better speced 6.
 
Still using the 5. My wife got the 6. I played around with it and didn't really like that it was so thin and the camera lens protruding. I'd rather the 6 be the same thickness as the 5, kept the camera flush and with that extra space, give us a bigger battery. Also less likely to bend. The few grams of weight won't kill me.

I also travel a lot and swap my sim a lot. So it's nice having an out of contract unlocked phone.
