There are people like me, after using every iteration of iPhones from its beginning, including 6 and 6s, who finally stopped following the trend/hype and settled in 5s (I still have the 4s too) after all. I found a peace of mind in using the phone mainly as my communication and PIM tool with occasional browsing etc. If you use it for heavy consumption of media or gaming etc, sure a larger phone is useful. But I value a pocketable, tossing-around phone more. Performance? What performance? There is a very slight (nano seconds) delay in opening apps etc as compared to 6 or 6s, but for everyday use, it's practically the same. I don't notice it. Camera? I am not a pro photographer and 5s camera is more than sufficient. Touch ID? Experimented it, but not an overwhelming factor to trade it for the form factor.
That does not at all mean 6s is not good. There may be a time when I have to upgrade at some point, but for now, 5s serves me well (or better).
With a rumour that Apple might offer a 4" phone again soon, I can wait for that too.
There should be many more people who prefer a bit smaller size phone like me.
Apple finally succumbed to the Android trend in order to capture their crowd back into their hand, but hope they will coma back and serve "original" crowd :)

:yes::yes::yes:
You have said all the words that must have been said.
You are absolutely right in every single word, bro.
I am still positive toward 5s for every thing it has that serve my needs well,
but still there's a problem, which is the coming upgrades, you will be in a point which force you to upgrade for normal smoother use of your iPhone (it obvious in all older phones with the newest upgrades)! that issue bother me.

oops, I was mistaken with 3D touch. Yes, my iPhone 5s that replaced my 6s certainly has the touch ID and I do not feel much difference between the 5s and 6s in terms of speed etc.

haha yes, I know, but the performance? the camera? Touch ID :heart: all these new things :)

You're asking for me to compare the two phones in use? I have not done so and am not really interested in doing so. I believe that the 5s is a touch faster, it certainly seems to give better battery life when using mobile data, and there are obvious spec differences, but that's as far as I go. These are my two beautiful iPhones, is how it is for me. :)
