iPhone 7 now ($300 discount) or wait?

[B.A.T]

I could use some advice. I currently own 4 phones. The wife and I own 6 pluses, college age daughter owns a 6 and Jr High age boy owns a 5s. All phones are 64GB and all are paid in full. No issues with any of the phones except my phone is down to less than 3 GB of storage.

I could upgrade my phone by trading in my son's 5s for $300. That would bring the cost of a new 128 GB iPhone 7 with tax to $495. My son and I would then trade phones. I store a lot of music on my phone because frequently we camp and we are outside of cell service. I also take a lot of photos and am starting to shoot video of his mountain bike team.

So I could buy nothing and offload video and other stuff for the next year with an iOS flash drive but then come next year I'm going to need to upgrade the 5s (most likely) and my phone. It feels like it makes sense to buy now and save some $$ but I'm a little cheap at times and hate to buy something I don't really need until it dies.

Any advice would be appreciated and anything I am not thinking about would help too. Thanks.

If you can wait the nine days until the Keynote, it might be in your interest to see how these new iPhones will all configure for features you may want or regret later on if you didn't wait

I think I'm going to buy now and save $300. In a year I will upgrade and pass this down to my son. It will give me the storage I need now and is a nice bump up from the 6 plus and in roughly another year I will bump up two more generations again.
