Should I return my 5 for 5s?

[Oofa]

The A7 vs. A6 may not matter much now, but it will with iOS7and iOS8, the 64 bit architecture will be important for future upgrades.

If it A7 vs. A6 doesn't matter now, it might not matter later. How will it be important? Why do you want or need "future upgrades"? Why do you want or need iOS8? What is so horrible with what you have now? That's my point. If you are doing just fine with what you have, don't "upgrade" for the sake of it. Do it if there is something in the upgrade that you want or need. I know that Apple depends on people that just want to upgrade or buy a new phone only because everyone else is doing it but maybe it would be "different" and "innovative" if you upgraded phone or OS because you actually needed to do it or were not happy with what you currently have.

Well I was on my way back to Best Buy today, and I was was looking at available inventory online of the 5s. Best Buy's Web site said there were NONE in Michigan. Of any color or size. I called Best Buy to see if I got a different answer. Nope, none available. I had to go to Best Buy anyway, to return a case I didn't care for. While I was there, just for s#!ts and giggles, I asked if they had a space grey at&t 5s in stock. It just so happened they had an open box 16gig space grey for $150. It was the only 5s in the store, for any carrier that I know of. I pounced on it. It's in perfect condition, the USB cord hadn't even been taken out of it's little plastic napkin holder sleeve. I'm glad I did. It's not very often I get the "latest and greatest" of anything, and the price can't be beat. Thanks to everyone for all the advice.

if the iPhone 5 is on iOS 6 it is worth to keep.

iOS 7 slows performance.

Haven't had any problems here. Running iOS 7.0.2 on and iPhone 5.

iOS 7 has a different flow to it. iOS 6 is no slouch in opening apps

Enjoy your great device, and I hope it doesn't get thrown to the wayside like the other phones, just because it won't have that "shiny & new" tag.

To each it's own. I have no problem.

I ended up doing the same. Returned my 32gb i5 to Best Buy and ordered a 32gb i5S for in-store pickup at the Apple Store.

I am keeping my 5s for the duration. I fear my wife my murder or at least maim me if I get rid of it. And what else is there? And android that is a lot more work to use and maintain, and often crashes? Windows 8? Please..... I will admit that I will always have a place in my heart for Blackberry, but we all know (sadly) where they are going.

You could get run over by a bus tomorrow. Return it and get the S!

I returned my 32g 5s and got the 16g 5c... For me the fingerprint scanner isn't a big deal, the camera is slightly better and the faster processor is nice but I don't really play games so for normal day to day usage there is really no speed difference for me...

The 5c has a bigger battery,better front camera and feels much better in hand than the 5/5s .. Is say return the 5 and get a 5c. I'm def glad I returned mine and saved $200...
