I have a 6 Plus but I was perfectly content with my iPhone 5. The only reason I upgraded is because the 6 had Band 41.
Got a tip for us?

Who's keeping their 5s?

I'm undecided. My 5s is still running beautifully. It is probably my favorite phone I've ever had. However, because I'm coming up on the end of my contract with Sprint, there is sort of a financial incentive to upgrade, and that is that I'm paying the same monthly whether I'm in contract or not. So, I may as well be in a contract, meaning I may as well upgrade my phone, even if I don't *need* to. And not upgrading right when my contract ends means that, when I do finally upgrade, I'm not in sync with iPhone releases anymore. That is of some value to me, even though thinking about that logically doesn't make much sense.
Good news for us in the "4" iPhone preferred" crowd.
Prominent leaker says that iPhone 6C 4" *is* likely coming alongside the others this Fall.

That would make a lot of people happy. Still, the fact that Apple simply elongated the 4/4S with the 5/5S kept me more satisfied with my 4S. I didn't like the look of the 4" screen and prefer the proportions of the 6.
Yeah it definitely would! I would love it, though I prefer the metal design of the 5s, so I hope they eventually make a 4 incher with the same classic aluminum design as the 5s or even the 6. Since my upgrade isn't till next year I'll keep my 5s. The 6c wouldn't be a huge leap anyway based on the rumored specs.
I thought I would keep my 5s around another year, but the bigger screen persuaded me to buy the 6 this summer.
Just watched the iPhone 5 keynote on YouTube. I totally agree with what Phil Schiller said about using a phone with one hand.
That being said, my mom got a 6 yesterday and I was able to get some time with it. It is a very nice design. And I found that I was able to use it pretty easily with one hand. Makes me think a bit more about my 4 inch preference....

I carry my 5s without a case, so slim and sexy! I've had it for two years and I want to keep using until it breaks or there is software I need to use that it cannot run.
Things from the 6 that sucks to live without: apple pay, ???
My battery is acting dodgy so I may have to change it out to last another year (or two!).
Carriers are pushing people out of the subsidized model, my next phone I will have to pay full price since I am on AT&T mobile share.
If my phone were to break tomorrow I may shell out $200 for used 5c.

I've bought and then sold 2 different iPhone 6's - I always think it'll work out OK....
...but it just never feels as good as the 5s size does and boy oh boy do you notice it after a couple weeks on a 6 and then you go back.
If the 5C had Touch ID, I'd probably have one right now instead of a 5s.
5C was the best feel in hand (no case) of all iPhones in my opinion.
I have the 5s for 1.5 years now, and still loving it. Also got the 4s as my backup phone. Im thinking to buy the 6s, im a s guy. I often go out for running with 5s inserted in the Nike Armband, the 5s got the perfect size and weight for this activity. If i buy the 6s I will need to invest in a new armband, which is hard to find a good one, and 6s size is a little too big for running. Let's see next month what the 6s got to offer, then I will consider to buy or stick with my current 5s for another 1 or 2 years. In addition I really hope Apple would release 6c or whatever name as long its 4" and metal build (i hate plastic), instant buy for me then.
I have a 6+ and 5S. I'm keeping the 5S until the iPhone 7, maybe even until the 7S gets released. That way I can upgrade every other phone.
