Out of curiosity, what is the largest leap that you have taken in terms of iPhones that you have personally owned?

For me, I went from a 3Gs to a 5s, so that's 4 generations.

4 to a 5S. Had to begrudgingly get rid of the 4 when iOS 7 utterly crippled it. Although I didn't want to upgrade, it was completely unusable. :(
 
Will jump from iPhone 4 to whatever comes out this year. That's 6 generations, and it's been a stretch.
Should've upgraded to the 6 when it came out..
 
Well if I include the 5 and 5s I had briefly, I skipped two generations (entire 6 series). But the 5s was second hand I got in 2014 from a buddy of mine who sold it to me while visiting Hawaii. Then sold it within a couple months. The 5 was a hand me down I sold off within two months for $200 last year too. If I didn't include them, then I have skipped five generations going from 4 (2010) and soon to be 7 (2016). Mostly been on Android (2011-Present) for those years for those gaps between iPhone upgrades.
 
Still on my 4S, and will likely use that until it dies completely, or Apple releases an iPhone that can make earl grey (Hot) whenever I tell it to. Or if they lower the price to half of what they cost right now. So voted 4 generations.

Excellent phone IMHO.

I got all of you beat easily...flip-phone (a Motorola E615) to a 6s.

wont be beat until the ip7 comes out and someone switches from a flip-phone to that.

My very first brand new iPhone was the iPhone 5.

I came to iPhone from an HTC Touch Pro.
