It really depends on what you use it for. Right now my family already uses drop box to back up our photos (we have a six mint old so we taken hundreds of photos a month of just him). For is, iCloud drive would make a ton of sense because it's an easier solution for photo sharing and the bandwidth is already in use.
On a 10gb plan shared by three people we have yet to even hit 5gb and we generally hover between 3-4.
... And take my money, Apple!!!#
And while you're at it, let's have an iPad Pro
Whaterver they do, they should release both at the same time! So as a consumer I can choose which one I want to buy, instead of waiting for this magical 5.5 iPhone.
This gets the front page, while a story about Apple changing its flagship programming language for the first time in a couple decades gets stuck in the iOS Blog.

I'm sure AT&T, Verizon, etc would LOVE more people thinking like you.
I also have the S5 - And it most certainly can not charge to 100% in an hour and battery life is as crappy as on my iPhone 5S - But it's okay. It's a mean machine.
My 1520 stays charged for days though...
however, I wouldn't jump to 5.5". That's too big for pockets, one hand, etc.
I didn't say an hour, I said a little over an hour. Though typically I am charging from 10-15% and not fully discharged, so that will shrink the time down.
And you need to get your S5 looked at. I'm at 17hrs 22min since last charge with 6.5hrs of screen time. Mind you this is after watching the WWDC keynote and the latest episode of "game of thrones", in additional to all the daily use.
This might be the first iPhone that I don't try and preorder/buy one day one. I think I need to see them in person to see how they feel in my own hand. As long as they're similarly spec'd except for screen size (as seen in iPad Air vs iPad Mini Retina), I don't know which I'll lean toward.
Best way to decide what size you want is to go into an MSFT store and play w/ the Lumias. They have everything from 4" to 6" right there next to each other.
Or 7.9 inches.![]()

Good luck getting your phone by February with that strategy. New design + loaded iOS enhancements means you won;t be able to stroll into an Apple Store and buy one for many months.
I'll be setting my alarm for 3AM EST yet again.![]()
You know there is a simple solution to those here that think the 5.5 incher is too big. JUST DON'T GET IT! You will have other choices!![]()
Something about the 5.5" iPhone 6 rumors I just can't buy into. Maybe just the fact that there seems to be more "hard" evidence of a 4.7" phone right now and not constant mumbles of "it being delayed."
Whatever it is I'd expect Apple to announce both at the same time and if they aren't on sale at the same time I'd expect it to be closely afterwards. I don't see Apple announcing it and then waiting until almost December or even 2015 to release it. I would just think if Apple was releasing this they would absolutely want it to be ready to go for major production before the Holidays.
So with that said when the iPhone event comes up I will just watch it not expecting to see a 5.5" phone and if they do so happen to unveil one I'll just majorly surprised.
Sarcasm noted! But I am still surprised to see how much smaller a 5.5 inch screen size is compared to the iPad mini.

I see the normal "I don't want a bigger phone so therefor NOONE should have one" people are out.

I can sort of understand. After all, if the phone is actually too big it is effectively the end of the product line for them (unless they release a smaller one alongside it).
I'll buy into a 4.7".
I will not buy into a 5.5" iPhone, mostly because it breaks the iPhone paradigm of being able to use one hand.
Also it doesn't make sense when you look at the Apple product line.
One professional desktop (MacPro)
Two sizes of all-in-one (iMac)
One small desktop (Mac Mini)
Two versions of Macbook Air
Two sizes of Macboo Pro
So they will be making 5 different phone versions?
iPhone 4, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 (4.7 and 5.5)?
I think it's just wishful thinking by some idiot analyst.
I see them dumping the 5c since it's a poor seller and.
They will keep the iPhone 4 for emerging markets like they do now.
They might keep the 5c (doubtful) to offer a free phone.
Then they will have the 5s and the iPhone 6 (4.7).
Apple over the years has sought to minimize the number of products they manufacture within a category.
My predictions.
