I think it's time to upgrade my iPhone.
Been using 4S since Jan'12.

But personally i don't like the design of 6. So i thought of getting 5s. What do you guys say? Is it worth the upgrade or it's too late to buy 5s? (2013 phone)
 
Even coming from an iPhone 5, the 5s is a huge improvement in terms of speed and camera. The 4s will obviously be even a bigger difference.
 
yeah the 6 isnt that much faster than the 5s.. unless you want a bigger screen and 240fps slo mo and focus pixels.

I recently picked up a cheapo second hand 5s 64 gb to tide me over while im sitting on an upgrade. the 16gb 5 just wasnt cutting it for me on space and i didnt want to buy the 6 so late into the game.

Everything runs noticeably faster on the 5s, so from a 4s, it'd be huge upgrade
 
I still love my iPhone 4s (with 16GB) running iOS7.1.2 but wanted to explorer iOS8 on iPhone too (i already used it with my iPad mini2) and have more storage space. Therefore i know use and love my iphone 5s (with 32GB) which i bought 2nd hand (300 euro). I like the TouchID feature and also the weight and size. I thought about buying a iPhone 6 but i think it's too big for me. I have small hands a want to fit the phone in my pocket and still be able to ride my bike without breaking it.

Everything is quick and nice and i love to use Launcher now also on my iPhone.
 
Huge difference going from 4S to 5S, especially if you are on iOS 8

agree with the posters above who said the 5S is a big jump from the 5. Much, much faster especially on iOS 8


I used to have an iPhone 6 for almost half a year, and truthfully I haven't noticed any difference in speed between the 5S and the 6.
