iPhone 5S or iPhone 6?

In my opinion, you should get the iPhone 6. Yes, it will cost you more, but, in the long hall, it will serve you better than the 5S because, come next year, when iOS 9 is unveiled, the 5S, which you will have gotten a year ago, will start to feel a bit laggy. This is the case with all  mobile devices, and cannot be helped. So, the 6 will hold out longer in terms of speed and power, where as the 5S will feel a little old and slow. I feel sorry for those people who got 5Cs on contract instead of going for the 5S or 6, because, come next year, their phones will most likely run like the ipHone 4S does now under iOS 8.

Hello Mike,

If you are able to afford the iPhone 6, I would go with that one. There's not much more to say on the topic than what Stephen has already said; the iPhone 6 will be a better long-term investment than the iPhone 5S. To be clear, the iPhone 5S is a perfectly good phone, and it runs iOS 8 very well. If the 5S is all you are able to afford, buy with confidence that the phone will run iOS 8 very well and will also likely do reasonably well on iOS 9 come next year. If your budget will allow for the iPhone 6, though, I would strongly recommend choosing that over the 5S.

I had a 5S, and got the 6 yesterday, and there is a noticeable speed increase as well as better responsiveness, especially when running the Alex voice. Also, Braille screen input is so much better on the 6, if that's what you're into. I had to do something with my 5S this morning, and it just feels cramped now. The one hard thing to get used to is the new position of the lock button. I keep reaching to the top, and it's not there!

I would get the IPhone 6 as everyone else has stated. The 5s will be discontinued for most carriers, if it hasn't already been discontinued. You don't want to get tied up into a discontinued model and have to live with it for 2 years. Besides, the IPhone 6 is much better than 5s.

Did you ever have the 4 or 4s before your current 5? I did and had the same reaction on switching to the larger phone. I actually really, really do like the extra screen real estate that the 6 has. The keys on the keyboard are slightly larger and spaced out a little and so I can type like a boss. i think the 4.7 inch iphone really is the sweet spot. For me the plus was just way too big and didn't fit well in my pocket, but it's definitely a matter of Personal preference. my sighted mom, who I thought would love the bigger screen on the six, actually really thinks it's too big, especially compared to the four she had before. So definitely go to the store and play with both of them for awhile. See where your sweet spot is.

Although I personally cannot comment with regard to actual use of the iPhone 6 as my contract is not up, I would still recommend a version of the iPhone 6 as it relates to the additional sensors and camera improvements. If you utilize any health-related apps, then the iPhone 6 will give you that much more capability for data accuracy and confidence for accuracy of said data and it's because they have added more sensors with which to work. The camera will, as others have stated, assist you in higher accuracy in scanning, therefore producing better read-ability. I am of the opinion, when it comes to technology purchases, buy the very best that your wallet can afford and you will be as prepared as one can for the future. Of course, if you've been around technology at all, you also know that as you walk out the door, basically your purchase is obsolete but that cannot be helped. Buy the best you can and call it a day.

Lol I know what you mean, I have a 4s and I can't upgrade until late January, not sure if I would even qualify for Verizon edge, but that's a whole different topic for a whole different website.
