I upgraded from a 5 and I think its a wonderful update. The camera kills the 5 and I don't know how phones existed without touch id.
Got a tip for us?

I remember you had the red htc one, may I ask what made you get rid of it for a iphone 5s?
Im not a photo taker so camera does not bother me really, i like the fingerprint sensor, i prefer the space grey to my black iphone 5 (now handed to wife) but as yet, not a great deal is different to the 5. I suspect give it 6 months and games and such utilise the new processor i will notice improvements. I upgrade simply because i do every year regardless and the wife gets the 'old' model. I will say i would have liked a bigger screen.....maybe next year.
I actually haven't fully decided if I'm going to replace it with the 5s yet. I wanted to at least try out the 5s for a few days, and not just at a store for a few minutes. So far I'm still liking it, but now that the newness is wearing off I'm finding more things I like about the One/Android over the 5s/iOS 7.

I do love having the latest in tech. Is that so bad?
red is only on sprint so you have 2 carriers?
If you can pm me when you reach your conclusion on what you prefer or just make a new post I'll like to read it. I almost traded for a black htc one last night but I held off due to slow charging time.
I may pick up a cheap htc one of craigslist.
Well, I mean i am sure its great but when you spend money on something - you kindda wanna feel its the greatest decision you ever made. Thats just psychology, definitely 5S is better than the 5. Enjoy it.
It is a huge jump from the 5. Much faster, much better camera, fingerprint scanner, 64-bit, M7 chip. The impact of these hardware improvements is highly significant.
The first iPhone was my wow gadget for a couple of years.

Atleast he can admit he was wrong, I know ton of people in my circle of friends who talked alot about the iPhone being the same every year and they have 5s's now, I bring up what they said they deny it i'm glad there is someone who can admit when theyre wrong, major props to you.
I was able to walk into Best Buy Mobile in our local mall yesterday and walk out with a space gray verizon iPhone 5s 16gb just yesterday.
It is feasible there are other venues that have 1 or 2 left lying around. I asked the associate how they had any when only one other store within 250 miles showed any stock. He said that they were the best kept secret and most customers went to the main best buy store which was sold out of every model on day 1.
I'm already back to my red HTC One lol. After a few days I still couldn't adjust to the small screen. It's a great looking display no doubt, but it's just too small coming from the Note 2 and HTC One.
LoL you lasted a whole 2 days eh?
Have fun with Android brotha'. Glad you made the choice that fits you.
I personally cannot stand those big *** screens which make you shift around your hand any time you need to press the buttons at the bottom of the screen. The one handed operation of the iPhone is a huge selling feature for me.

I see this a lot. How do you hold your phone that you can't use a larger phone with one hand? If you hold it like this:
That's why.
This way
lets you use more of the articulation of your hand and you can use a bigger phone with one hand.
