5s - if I lived on my phone, I would have upgraded already. At home, when not on the computer, I primarily use the iPad. Work makes the phone impractical during the day. So with limited use, I'm just waiting for an updated SE at this point
3 years strong with my iPhone 6.
I may or may not upgrade to the iPhone 8 this autumn. The 6 is getting on a bit, but I have a hard time justifying a $1000 phone.

6S+ Since launch.
I'll get an 8 if there's a nice case that adds a hp jack. I will never have a phone with no hp jack.

iPhone 6 64 since launch. Was planning on new IPhone X, but now may go with 7 S Plus. Waiting for keynote for details. Would miss Touch ID/home button and $1,000 plus AppleCare is a lot for a phone.
Sorry, the latest one I bought last year this time was 7+. I am losing track of the numbers and it does not help that Apple does not put the phone number anywhere on the phone.I don't think there's a 7S+ yet.
iPhone 7 here since launch so 11 months?
After selling my 6S Plus last week, I (impatiently) decided not to wait for the new iPhone announcement and picked up a 12GB Space Gray iPhone SE instead. The 4 inch display still has its perks! One-handed operation is breeze, battery life is solid, and I love how pocketable it is.
That said, it’s going back to the Apple Store. It's a nice device, but I’m not confident it’s one I’ll enjoy using for 1-2 years.
So tonight I found a brand new unlocked (A1661) 128GB matte black iPhone 7 Plus for $770, and that's the one. After nearly two years with my 6S Plus, I was able to upgrade to a new iPhone for about $350. And even if Apple lowers the price for the 7 models next week by $100, I’ll still come out ahead because I didn’t pay sales tax on top.
Of course I’ll still be interested in seeing what they announce next week, but for my usage I know the 7 Plus will provide more than enough power to meet my needs for the next year or two.

I spent a couple of days flip-flopping between being sure I was getting an 8 Plus and being sure I was getting an X. I've now settled on the X, through the 8 Plus is still kind of tempting for the wider screen, longer battery, and inclusion of a home button...
I have a 6S since launch day and have been loving it. I am enrolling IUP and getting the 8 this year and I'm very excited lol. Holding off on the X till next years launch.
I have a 7+ 32gb Rose Gold that I am upgrading to the new 8+ Gold. I like the home button/touch id too much to switch to the X.
6 Plus since September 2014. will upgrade to iPhone 8 late this year or early next year. By that time the 6 Plus will be almost 3,5 years old, that's the longest I've ever used a phone.
I've grown fond of the form factor and would like to enjoy it a little longer, hence my choice for the 8.
