Had a 3, 4 and 5, planned on getting a Moto X, but they sold to the Chinese and closed the US plant, so I'll likely do a 4.7" 6, but it does seem large. May keep my ratty 5 for a while, but it's probably inevitable.

I don't get excited over phones at all. Planned obsolescence and newer models are barely better than the ones they are replacing.

I have a GSIII and will upgrade to the GS5 in March when the contract renews.

my 5s works just fine, i dont see any "magical feature" on the 6 that will make me go "wow, i gotta get that". most likely will get the air 2 if it comes with 2gb ram

I probably will stick with my 5s until I get my hands on a 6 and mess with it. I am not blindly ordering Apple's latest and greatest like a stupid sheep.

Probably will. my 5 is all sorts of abused and instead of fixing it, I'd rather upgrade

I have a 4S still running ios 6. I usually don't upgrade my phones until they break.

A bigger screen, which is probably the biggest complaint from users now?

They need different screen sizes to stay relevant and competitive

Really? How much bigger does the screen need to be? Any larger and it doesn't fit in your pocket.

Yes and no. They'd still hold plenty of market share just from the sheeple, myself included. Their products just work, and having a dedicated store nearby is nice. I've received numerous free replacements at the Apple store, even after being turned away at AT&T.

However there's no doubt that some folks have gone to Android because of the larger screen. I'm actually on the fence. I may limp this 5 along until the 6s shows. The bigger screen is actually the biggest deterrent to my changing.

Agreed. People already look like they're taking their selfie with a cookie sheet.

The one thing I have seen in the rumor mills that I really like is the sapphire crystal front screen. That stuff is damn near impervious to damage and I would like to not have to worry about it. The size is a "meh" thing for me; I will take it but it won't be the only reason to get it. I also like the touch ID in the 5S which my 5 does not have.
