I'm not a droid fanboy; I'm an Apple hater. :D

I'd wait until the next iPhone comes out. I've got the 5 and I'm perfectly happy with it.

my nephew has always had iphones, and he decided not to upgrade because it wouldn't make much of a difference for him.

i guess that's always the question...is the upgrade really an upgrade for you, personally?

i had the same question about upgrading my HTC One to the M8. I just didn't see the point, so I decided not to.

5s is dirt cheap right now because the 6 with wider screen is coming sept/oct.

I'm waiting for the 6.

I think the only cool thing about the 5s is the finger print recognition. Other than that, it's basically the same thing as a 5c, which I got instead of the 5s. When the 6 comes out I intend to trade in my 5c.

The 6 comes out in August now apparently, with a bigger screen size version in September.

Personally I don't know why you want a bigger phone unless you're a chick and carry a purse. There's nothing worse than bulky pockets.

I have the 5 as well but I'm waiting for the 6. Rumor has it that the 6 will have a 4.7" screen which is something I welcome. The 5s isn't much different than the 5 other than the fingerprint unlock ability.

The 6 is reportedly coming in two screen sizes, 4.7 inch and 5.5

the 4.7 sized one is perfect size for a smart phone. Still fits in your hand and pocket well enough.

Once you get past 5, you're getting into what they refer to as a pholet aka half phone half tablet given the size of the screen. Some will go for the 5.5. just to have that bigass screen for apps and web browsing.

I'm going to get the 4.7 screen model because I still will be using this as my primary phone and something that could still fit in a jeans back pocket if need be.
