Had the 3G, 3GS, 4, 4s, 5 and will definitely be getting the 5s, 6 and so on. I have to admit though I thought about keeping the 5 this time around just because it's already fast but can't really complain about getting 2x speed and graphics :). Also like how the M7 chip knows when you are walking instead of driving and gives you directions accordingly.

*Technically* I would qualify, but then again I only had a 4S for two days, and debating on the 5s... :p
 
I have a 32GB iPhone 5 and will not be buying a 5S :mad:

It's think it's a complete joke that the 5S storage size is only 16GB. This hasnt increased since the days of the 3GS back in 2009 yet flash memory has never been so cheap. Apple want us to pay an additional £80 for the pleasure of another 16GB. Cmon Apple, I could buy a 16GB SD card for £10.

The majority of premium Android devices come with a default storage of 32GB and that's without considering devices such as the SGS4 which have SD card readers.

I'll skip this device and hope the 6 includes 32GB as standard.
 
Almost forced into upgrading as a family member needs a new phone and it's either get the 5S or lose the upgrade to them. Ill buy the 5S and give them my 5 and get their iPhone 4 to do what I please with. Not sure if I'll sell it when I get it or hang on to it to use for a month between the 5S and 6 which I'll buy at full price using the funds from selling the 5S.
 
I have the 5, and I'm probably going to upgrade to the 5S. However, I'm going to wait until the frenzy calms down first.
 
If I can walk into AT&T or Apple tomorrow and get what I want I will get it otherwise I won't be.

Add me to this club. :D

If you buy an iPhone at full price, it is only about a 200-250 yearly upgrade cost. I will say though, I was going to skip the 4S but then someone stole my 4. People sweat this stuff all the time, but think about how many times we spend $100+ on a night out with friends. I get to be a part of the Apple hoopla and enjoy the new device for at least a week! Worth it for me! :D

That's exactly how I see it. $100 is not much. You spend that going out once. Also, you are talking about a device that you will use every day so it's worth it to me. I can't think of anything I own that I use more than my iphone. This is why I've had every iphone and will get the 5s.
 
passing, though I'm not eligible anyways. fiancé is getting the 5s tomorrow IF they have it in stock.
 
I'm waiting. Not enough there for me to justify the $400 cost and aggravation of selling my old one. I'm waiting for the 6 with likely a larger screen and expanded Touch ID usage.

Have the 4s, passed on the 5 (not a big enough upgrade), getting the 5s so I guess I qualify for the poll.

You do not currently own the 5, therefore you do not actually qualify. The options were either I own the 5, and I am getting the 5S or I own the 5, and I am not getting the 5S. Nowhere does it say that if you have the 4S and skipped the 5 that you qualify for the poll.
 
After playing around with the 5S all day I can say without a doubt that I will be getting one. The camera alone is amazing, one of the best on the market and beating out just about all of the 13mp Android flagships. Then it's actually noticeably faster than the 5 and I already though the 5 was pretty damn fast. Still the dilemma of Gold or Silver. I need to see the Gold one in person.
