If there was ONLY 1 reason and not a combination of reasons why you bought the 5S full retail or Upgrade - What was that Number 1 Reason?

Better camera, better battery life, and have to have the latest. Plus my mother in law needed to upgrade her 4 so she got my old 5 and I got the 5S.

Wanted the stability of iOS. Used Android phones for a few years and I'm tiring of all the stupid manufacturer skins. I've had the 5S almost a week and I've been very happy with it.

Because it's a new iPhone and I get the upgrade every year and pass my one year old iPhone to my husband.

Lucky for you your husband doesn't mind! Many men are tech geeks and this would not be okay :p. My girlfriend doesn't let me pull this stuff anymore, but then I just drive over to my parents' house and use my mothers upgrade :p

I always get the newest iPhone. If that's not the type of answer being sought, then I'd say the camera upgrade.

Husband is just as much of a tech geek just different areas of focus.

I'm an amateur filmmaker/YouTuber so it's nice when I can use my iPhone camera to make videos. The quality has gone up since the 5 so for me it's mostly to get an upgraded camera system where I can also edit my pictures and videos. I can't afford a computer or expensive camera right now so this does just fine. Plus i love Apple products :)
