iPhone 5S users, are you upgrading to the 6/6+, why or why not?

[Frankied22]

I ordered a 6 but I'm not 100% sure I'll upgrade from my 5S. I really like the size of my 5S and that's the biggest difference between the two. Apple Pay is nice but I probably won't use it all the time. It will be nice to have more storage tho. We'll see.

Maybe? I have a 6 Plus on pre-order but I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep it. Upgrading for better camera and battery life.

No.

I easily could since we have a 3rd 'ghost' line on our family plan, but I currently have a 5s that I am 100% happy with and don't see anything in the 6 that I really need.

I will probably end up keeping the 5s as long as I possibly can. I'm perfectly fine keeping it on iOS 7 so that it's as fast as the day I bought it + I don't mind getting battery replacements through apple over time as needed.

I'm undecided, I love the 5s size and one handed usability.

If I do get the new iPhone it will be the 6.

SAME HERE! I'm sticking with my 5S..

Gonna try out a 6 in store and see how I like it. I really want the bigger screen but also love the one handed usability of the 5S. Not even remotely tempted by the 6+ (though I wish the 6 had gotten the same ppi bump and OIS found on the 6+).

I put a Craigslist ad up for my unlocked 32gb, if I hit $450 or close I will bite and buy a 6. If I don't then I'll keep enjoying my jailbreak tweaks

I had a 5s and upgraded to the 6+ Why? Better camera, battery life, screen, screen quality, and bigger keyboard for starters. I don't see myself ever going back to a phone as small as the 5S

Just curious what other 5S owners are doing in regards to the new iPhone.

I'm on the fence with either a 5S or 6. I need to upgrade my 4S, but I don't know what to do. I originally wanted a 6+, but when I saw how big it was, I said "forget that". Plan B was the 6, but I don't like the way it looks. It's so thin. I'm afraid it will slip. I do like the screen size though.

What I might do is get my parents a 6, since they really want a bigger screen and take their 5S for myself. The only downfall is I got them a 16GB. I knew I should've followed my instincts back then and exchanged it for a 32GB, but I had no idea I'd feel this way about the iPhone 6.

Plan C is to get a 5S 32GB from Apple, but then again, my parents really want a bigger screen. So I may be upgrading to their 5S (16GB : C) and wait out the iPhone 7.

I upgraded my 5s to a 6+, as part of my upgrade cycle. I have 4 lines, and my wife and I swap phones every year. Now my son want's to get into the act, so he's getting the oldest phone. Every year everybody goes up a generation.

Yes, I own the 5S and will be upgrading to the 6+ with either 64 or 128GB capacity. (Probably the latter.) I have been waiting an awfully long time for the Apple phablet and I can see myself using it much more than the 5S. I currently use the 5S for news, messaging, twitter and general apps and things but I swap to the iPad Air for games and proper reading. However, with the 6+, I will no longer have to do this because the screen is just so big and gorgeous. I really question the need for my iPad Air at all.

And, actually, I recently bought the 13" rMBP and that has displaced my iPad Air as the primary "go to" device at home (if the larger screen is needed and it isn't a game). With the addition of the phablet, I can't see myself ever using the iPad Air at home. Furthermore, I added the "paper" option to my various news subscriptions again; I just find the paper so much better to read. Onto eBay it goes...
