After installing IOS 8 and pretty happy with it I think I will keep my 5S for another year and wait for the 6S.
What will I be missing out if I don't get the 6..."not much". Thinner phone, larger screen and NFC and I am not sure the processor will be that much faster and oh yes the 6 or 6S will have a HD display. Untill i walk into a Bestbuy or Apple store who knows I might change my mind but right now hmmmmm no. What's your thoughts and opinion on this?
Thanks

re:

If I had the cash available I would get the 6/6+ for sure. Leaning more toward the plus. But I'll have to wait on a 6S plus.

re:

My wife is up for an upgrade from her 4S. I told her to get the 6, but she said she would be fine with the 5S. Apparently the smaller screen is more preferred. I imagine Apple will keep the 5S for a while depending on how the demand is.

The biggest plus (pun intended) is the screen size and the 128GB option.
I'm out of that phase where I NEED a new phone yearly.

I love the S models- when you upgrade on the S cycles you get your money's worth:
1) new design
2) upgrades of the regular iPhone model
3) upgrades of the iPhone S models
4) new features of two iOS versions

re:

Think moving up from the 5s, is gonna be the hardest yet. It such a great device.

I am thinking the same thing. I ordered my wife her iPhone 6 Plus today and was about to give them the go ahead to send me one as well but just could not pull the trigger. I am going to wait and see how I like hers. The main thing I am scared of is the size. If and when I upgrade I may just get the 6. I don't know if I could deal with something as big as the Plus hanging on my side all day.

So much for that, lol, walked in just to take a look and ended up walking out with the 6.

re:

If it makes you feel better, I returned my 6 after using it for a day and will be getting a new 5S instead. Didn't care for the phone. Beautiful screen though.

Looking to stay with my 5S. What will I be missing out if I don't get the 6?

I'm staying with my 5S. It's such a great device. My son got an iPhone 6 and is tempting me but I'm going to wait until next year. I don't need a new phone every year.

re:

What will you miss by not getting the 6...

The hype?

I'm keeping my 5S but I pre-ordered the 6 Plus 128GB because of it and that I have an addiction.

re:

I am keeping my 5s as well for now. I walked into AT&T and checked out the demo models yesterday. The screens were gorgeous but nothing else tempted me.

re:

I'd really love to get the 6 plus but I just can't justify spending the money. I still love the design of the 5s more than any other phone out there. It also works very well. Perhaps if I had a lot of disposable income I would do it, but I would still miss my 5s. I will wait until the 6s plus.

re:

I have to stay away from the Apple Store. I couldn't resist upgrading to the 5s from the 5 when I took my 5 in there for the sleep:awake button.

So I may not be able to walk out of there without making a commitment on a 6. :D

re:

Was at the Bestbuy store yesterday close to closing time that way nobody stands behind to check the phone 6 and rush me but anyway I checked it out and was not impressed and decided to stick with my iphone 5s which still looks like new. The iphone 6 is really not that much bigger and i don't need NFC and the 5S display is still gorgeous and the processor speed is slightly slower than the iphone 6 which makes me believe that when the 6S comes out there will be many hardware changes and that makes sense. I am up for a new phone and unfortunately the 6 did not impress me at all.
