I just upgrade yearly, even though I would agree if someone was on the fence, the 5>5s isnt that big of a deal. It remains to be seen the day to day improvements that people report once they have it.
Got a tip for us?

Can we all agree that if you have an iPhone 5 there's no real reason to get the 5s?

I'll explain my logic for getting the 5s over the 5 that I currently have.
A quick note before: I am on T-Mobile with an older gsm iPhone 5.
1) For me it's T-Mobile LTE bands.
2) The camera - I am an avid photographer and I take upwards of 100,000 pictures a year both privately and for work.
3) Internal storage. 16gb just doesn't cut it anymore.
4) It will replace my Jailbroken IPhone 5. Having played with iOS 7 I know that I can comfortably replace my jailbroken iPhone 5 with it.
5) The Wifi bug on the iPhone 5 drives me up a wall. I have horrible signal in my own home where I need wifi to work.
6) I have a T-Mobile SGS4 for work... Service on that on hope is amazing. On my iPhone 5 I have the worst service of any phone because the bands are not apportioned for T-Mobile.
7) I also plan to switch my old iPhone 5 to my work line and ditch the SGS4.
To me it is a somewhat needed upgrade.
Any other questions?

We can't agree because its not necessarily true.
But if it makes you feel good about your iPhone 5, then its true for you.

Its not if you freeze it.
It really depends on your country and what options your carrier is offering, for now I'll keep my 5 and wait for the 6 gen, because I'm looking forward to the new rmbp and ipad mini
No we can't agree because it would be stupid to agree to that. Plus, what purpose is there? Lol .
I want it for the camera, speed, and the motion thing. That's enough of a reason for me. Plus I love having an awesome backup phone
