if you wait till after the announcement you will get considerably less, but if you sell ahead of announcement you will profit, day of new 5s announcement old iphone5 price drops 100.00 off the back and 4s 200.00 price reduction. Play it smart market is saturated with many vendors selling iphone 5 unlocked under cost.

I agree with you .
 
I'm going to sell my phone after switching to Verizon and buying the galaxy S4

I have a black 64gb on Sprint
 
I will be upgrading the to 5S, more so I can move to the every other year "S" versions and the the extra tweaks or corrections they make. If they announce it in June, but don't sell it until August then not sure.
 
i will keep my iPhone 5 right now, and wait to see the 5S, then decide whether should i change for it?
 
Selling 5 on kijiji (Craiglist in Canada), just got S3 and I don't think I'll touch apple till bigger screen Is out.
 
I will upgrade when the 6 is for sale. Yeah, I'll have to eat a considerable amount of cost, but it is what it is.
 
The Samsung galaxy s4 and htc one looks wonderful, But I will wait until Apple release the iPhone 5s or iPhone 6. Then I will choose one among them.

If I am going to reselling my iPhone 5, of course I will resell it on ebay.
 
I always try to resist getting the S model until I am slapped in the face with it every time I open my browser. Then, on preorder night, I get one.

AT&T usually gives me an early upgrade option every 10 months or so, and I can usually get my old iPhone off on Craigslist for $350+, so the S ends up costing me about $100+ tax. That's worth it to me to have the latest model with it's added speed and new feature (Video, Siri, whatever it may be).
 
Staying with my 5 until the 6 announcement no more S models for me

Here! Here!, done with the in between models, however I will be selling my 5 next year and moving to Dixie Cups and String if the new iPhone does not have at least a 4.5" display, I do not need a 5.5 or 6" display, that would be where my Tablet comes in.
 
After the s4 comes out, and I can buy an s3 at a deeply discounted price.

They sell for about $340 right now on amazon, I suspect they'll go down to at most $250 after the s4 goes on sale.

Lol , yeah it's so hard not too pre order and not feel the excitement for the following week checking the tracking number ! Lol. I'm there with you .
 
Not until the 6 comes out. Then I will put it on ebay for a couple hundred bucks like I did with my 4. :apple:
 
If I remember correctly, I have an upgrade coming up soon so I'll probably upgrade my 5 to the 5s. I'll sell on craigslist.
 
Not gonna.

My AppleCare is good through Feb 2015. I'll upgrade after that, and use this one as my beater phone.
