Yeah, I'm still on 5S and comfortable with it, like I've been with every other model. Not in any heart pounding must have frenzy, though I think it'll be good when I eventually get one.
Not paying through the nose for it. Waiting for crazy $ to cool to reasonable.
I'm still plenty satisfied with my 4S. I have been tempted by the Sony Expheria S3 coming out, but even that is well above reasonable means of an asking price.
In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?
Psalms, Chapter 56, verse 4
I need a new phone with a larger screen ASAP. I have to use a tablet at work. Mine is a first gen iPad. No camera, no 3g. I am not looking forward to buying a $600 iPad for work and then paying for a second 3G account on top of that, so I want one of these "extra large" phones to try and replace the iPad for work. I was going to get a different brand when my contract is up, but now I'm definitely getting the new iPhone. It's still nine months away for me though. Can't wait. One less thing to keep charged, one less thing to lug around, no more looking for hot spots to submit papers when working out of town.And with a camera I can add photos to my reports, which will make them much easier to write.

Mr. Jez will be getting one as a company phone so I'll get to fiddle with it and test it out. I'm quite happy with my 5S as well, although I get my mates to load all the apps...I'm too wonky with all that fancy stuff.
Today while I was out I saw a billboard that said "Get the iPhone 6 for $0 when you trade in any used iPhone"
Then I went to Best buy and saw a sign that said "Get a $300 Best Buy gift card with purchase of iPhone 6"
So sounding like an even better deal than originally expected. I wonder if I can upgrade early with my contract? I'll have to look into it. I want the 6+ though.
I'd like a 6+ for the larger screen. I'd like to migrate most of my throwaway comics reading to digital to save space and money, but I don't want to buy a separate tablet just for this purpose. A big old honkin' phone that splits the gap sound spot-on. I'm not due for an upgrade for another year, though, and I'm not interested enough to spend time figuring out if there is an affordable way to do it. My 5s is quite adequate.

That makes me suspect it's not selling well. I hate apple products, though do to my boss being a rich wannabe hipster, I'm saddler with an Iphone for work... a 4s, still (the boss took her upgrade to try a Sprint phone because one of her friends told her to, then switch back to an iphone with my upgrade when she couldn't figure it out.
They were lined up around the block to buy it all over the world just the other day. I'm sure it's selling fine. Apple alone makes up like 40% of the smartphone market.
