I have an iPhone 4s (yeah still functioning well) and I want to buy new iPhone. I was thinking to buy the 6s Plus but the iPhone 7 will be released this year. Does it worth waiting? Any chances to be released next week?

Released next week? No. There is no chance of that at all. It's expected to launch in September.
 
Like many people have said you'll have to wait until September for the iPhone 7 (or whatever Apple decides to call it this time around). Is it worth waiting? Depends how bad you want a new phone. It sounds like you hold onto your phones for a long time so it probably pays to have the latest model when you do upgrade. Then again compared to the 4s any newer iPhone is going to feel speedy in comparison.

You mentioned you have a perfectly phone working. Just wait, that way you can get the latest, even if it's very minimum upgrade from the 6s, at least you'll have the latest with a little faster processor and what not. Better for resell value too.
 
Releasing next week!! No chance. IPhone 7 is scheduled to be release in September. It's a long wait.if you immediately want new iPhone you can choose iPhone 6s plus or iPhone 6s and if want smaller screen maybe se can fulfill your needs

If Apple lowered the price of the phone throughout the year, I'd say get it now since you will get a better deal. But since it's the same price as the new iPhone in September will be, I say wait.
 
The 7 is rumored to have 3gb ram and A10 processor. I am no video buff, but with 4k I would think that would be a benefit over the current 6's. If I am correct, I would wait if those features are be important to you.

I'd 100% wait til' September.
 
I can understand and appreciate not wanting to lose the iconic design oh the iPhone. But at the same time, I'm at the point where I'd certainly welcome more screen real estate in a smaller overall size.

They are going to use oled panels to mimic the the top and bottom bezels, then the disappear when you go into landscape mode
 
Unless you want a 4" iPhone right now, wait until September. Really the only iPhone I'd recommend buying right now is the SE.
 
Thank you for your answers!

I will probably wait until September for the new iPhone. It is better to have the last upgraded version.

I was thinking to buy the 5s just for 2 months but naah iPhone 7 seems to be the only option here!

Unless there is a promotion to obtain the phone for less, like I did with Verizon. Got $100 off. Promotions are hit and miss but you can always check
 
All this waiting for the 7 and Apple losing revenue, there's discounts everywhere right now. I have a family plan with Verizon of 5 lines. Best buy offering the 6S for $1 right now with a new 2 year contract. So I bought two iPhones for my parents. Spent $1.09 for each. They dont upgrade often so its worth it. My phone is paid off (SE) but I'm thinking of waiting for the 8.
 
New bad news(rumor)!! Apple ditching space grey color and bringing new deep blue color. It's not confirmed weather it will get white bezels or black bezels

I would have definitely gone for the iPhone se if it would have come with an all new design or even in iPhone 6 shrinkin body but that old iPhone 5 design it completely looks outdated.without that fancy color nobody can judge that's it's iPhone 5s or se. Just some updated stuffs.feels stupid better pay some more buck and get iPhone 6s a lot more features than stupid edition

Ah, yet another of the "change appearance for the mere sake of change itself" crowd.
I personally, though I do not find the 6/6S horribly offensive, find the 5/5S far more functional & attractive.
There is something cool about being able to take your phone (sans case) & stand it on its end; either vertically, or on its side- it simply looked cool!
The squared off sides also made it much more comfortable to hold & feel more secure in the hand- also, if they ever go to a wrap around screen; squared off sides would make it easier to differentiate between intentional & unintended touches.
 
Move over Rose Gold:D, am gunning for the deep blue color if the rumours are true....my impatience has just gone up a few notches!!!
