I've been hanging on to my iPhone 4 waiting for the 5S to come out. I usually upgrade every two years but passed on the 5 last year, and although I have no issues with my 4, I'm sure it won't be long before IOS 7 or 8 will no longer work on it.

Don't take this as absolute fact, but I think IOS 7 is going to be the last OS the iPhone 4 supports.
 
May upgrade to a 5S if in fact the screen is larger. My 4s still works great but I would like a larger screen
 
Quite happy with my 5. Only way I'll get a 5S on release is if either a) I get one for free, like I win a contest or get one as a gift or b) someone wants to trade my old 5 for a new 5S.

I don't see either option happening to me :p
 
Normally, I'd say yes (I'm on a 2 year old iPhone 4s)
However, now I don't really know...
I just had my phone replaced by the genius bar. It's as good as new.
And I look around, and flagship devices still for sale today are still running the A5 chip - iPad mini, iPod Touch... iOS 7 is running completely well on the A5 chip. It was probably designed with the A5 in mind.
This is in contrast to previous updates whereby the 2 year old devices would be left out in the update - the then 2 year old iPhone 3G did not get iOS4's multitasking and it was laggy as heck... the two year old iPhone 4 did not handle iOS 6 very well - it didn't get panorama, it didn't get turn by turn, no Siri and not cellular facetime...

But iOS 7 makes the 4S feel like the current flagship phone. It doesnt feel like a 2 year old phone...Why would you even get an iPhone 5??? It has no added features except Airdrop.. And I'm not reading any rumors to suggest anything groundbreaking with the 5S....

Unless the 5S blows everything out of the water, I may just stay with the 4S for another year and go for the iPhone 6...or 'gasp' the next nexus (if the iPhone 6 still seems stale)???
 
Have a Verizon iPhone 4, it works fine and all apps that I need run well on it.

Dont care about fingerprint sensor, all I want is a larger display.
 
I just want the latest and greatest.

I used my wife's upgrade to get the 5, and gave her my 4s. This time around I'll get the new phone with my upgrade (assume 5s) and give my wife the 5.

She's happy, I'm happy.

My 5 is quickly deteriorating, so I am going to have to upgrade to something this Fall. :(

In what way is it deteriorating - hardware wise or performance wise?

As to whether I'd upgrade, it depends. Would need a double increase in battery life and a slow motion camera; they're my top two features.
 
I switch from an iPhone 4 to a S3 last September. I have been planning to switch back to iPhone as soon as the 5S is announced.
 
I'm upgrading. I have an "early upgrade at a discounted price" available in September, so I'm gonna take advantage of it. And I already have a buyer for my iPhone 5 which will help me cover more than half of the price.
 
No. I'm happy with my 5. I even bought a/c plus because I plan on keeping it for 2 years. I'm actually more I interested in iOS 7.
