My last phone was an iPhone 6S. I sold it on Swappa and picked up a 6S Plus to be a tweener/all-in-one type device when I traded my iPad Air 2 for an Apple Watch 42MM. Haven't looked back since!

I purchased my 6s Plus simply because I wanted the newest iPhone available. My previous device was the 6 Plus which was also a great smartphone. The Apple iPhone just works for me and the way I like to use a smartphone.

I bought my iPhone because my dad was switching over from T-Mobile after trying it out for two months and I had a 5S. I wanted the newer iPhone so I got the iPhone 6 on Verizon.

I went from an iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6 Plus, and now to an iPhone SE. I went back to the smaller iPhone because I do a lot of running, cycling and weight training and have an active lifestyle, and the SE is the smallest, lightest iPhone that has best camera and processor, and battery life.
Having the smaller phone helps me not be so immersed in my phone wasting time too.
Apple Pay is easier to use with the SE as well.

I had the iPhone 5 and upgraded to the 6 Plus. I did it several months before I needed to because I was traveling back home to the States and my carrier has a deal with Sprint for free calling and packet use. The function only worked on the newer 6, so I bit the bullet.

Before buying my iPhone I had a blackberry. My blackberry broke and I needed a new phone. So at this time I went to the apple website and I saw a page titled "why iPhone" and I started reading and I did like the reasons so that I bought it and I'm really enjoying. Don't think I'm gonna get an android or a blackberry in my life.

My last phone was a s3 on my android line. I upgraded to a note 5 during black friday because I was able to get it for $1.06 w/tax & a giftcard for $250 so I said why not.

Blackberry Passport was my last phone. With that boat sinking I felt the need to get a device that was consistent and always looking to improve. With that thought in mind, I jumped on the 6s Plus

Partly because I wanted the Plus and more memory and partly because I wanted to get away from my carrier so I went with a different one.

Jumped from the Blackberry ship after sailing aboard her for many years, and will hand down my z30 to my hubby when my 7+ arrives. Can wait till shipping window of Nov 30-Dec 15

I can't handle the fact that I keep finding out Blackberry is dropping apps that I need and after taking side-by-side pictures with the Blackberry and the 7+, that sealed the deal.

iphone 6, bought because my iphone 4s was long in the tooth and acting very strangely. The battery was dying. I also always thought the iphone 4 design was ugly with it's hard squared edges.

By the way i passed on the 7 as my 6 is fine, i don't need a new phone and it has a headphone jack
