Anyone else finally jumping ship from the iPhone 4? Did you get the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus? What are you most excited about?

I'm ordering a 64GB Space Gray one from Verizon. Finally jumped since iPhone 4 will not support iOS 8 plus Verizon is offering $200 to trade in.

Reflecting back, I think iPhone 4 was one of the most important/craziest releases. Just to name some:

-Gizmodo leaks, completely new design, antenna gate
-Last Steve Jobs announced iPhone
-Introduction of Retina display
-First generation Apple-designed chip, A4 chip
-2 cameras, 5MP with flash, FaceTime, HD video
-iOS 4 (Multitasking, Folders, Unified Email)

This might be strange but keeping a phone for that long, I actually wasn't that hyped. I have done literally everything I could have done with the iPhone 4. I even got it stolen and found again.

Kind of sad to see it go, but I can't wait for:

-The bigger 4.7" display. Compared to 3.5", it's a big leap. I thought 5.5"would be too big.
-Finally LTE speeds
-A8 chip. So its like 7x faster than the iPhone 4 or something?
-iOS 8 features especially Continuity and Apple Pay
-Other stuff like Touch ID, Siri, Voice Navigation

9/19 can't come soon enough.
 
I'm upgrading from an iPhone 4 (AT&T, black, 32 GB) to an iPhone 6 Plus (AT&T, space gray, 128 GB). I'm most excited about finally upgrading to new device after all these years. Everything is improved over my current experience of iOS 7 on the iPhone 4.
