Would you upgrade your iPhone, or wait for the new one?
I currently have an iPhone 5. I've been pretty happy with it, except my power/lock button has stopped functioning and my battery life is awful. I'm now eligible for an upgrade through my carrier, but the iPhone 6 is being released in September.I'm somewhat hesitant to upgrade because rumors say that the iPhone 6 will have a larger screen, which I'm not sure I want. However, I'm sure the larger display will become the standard and I'll have to upgrade to that size eventually anyway if plan to stick with the iPhone. What would you do in my situation, and why?
Added (1). I suppose I should clarify that I'm considering upgrading to the 5s now, rather than waiting to upgrade to the 6 in September.
One of the biggest mistakes ever is to buy a release date device. See, tech companies like Apple do not test enough their devices and they release them untested and full of issues (example of other companies that do the same thing: Microsoft with W8; Sony with PS4; MS with XBONE; Google with Nexus 5; Apple with Apple iOS7; and so on). If there are any issues, and there certainly will be lots, they release updates later throughout the year. I would not recommend you to get the latest iPhone yet. Wait a bit first for the first to buy it and start complaining, then get the second release that comes with updates and most of the hardware issues fixed.
Larger screens gives you more room. Smaller screens are not perfect if you want to depend completely on a smartphone for most of the computing requirements.
5S is a really good phone, it depends how long you are willing to wait for the next version.
- Would you upgrade to the new iPhone xs if you already have iPhone 8 plus? I got an iPhone 8+ and it's not broke. It's just slightly cracked on top but i can still see the screen and it works good. I kind of want the iPhone xs though, not the max version the regular. If i upgrade then it will make my phone bill 18 bucks higher. Would that be worth it?
- Would you sell your child (if you had one) for the latest iPhone? It seems the anticipation for an iPhone got too much for one couple in China, who have been accused of selling their young daughter so they could afford to buy one of the desirable devices. Sounds fair enough to me. It is sad, i couldn't do it. @ Too Awesome, True, some guy did sell his Kidney for the latest iPad.
- What would you do if you were watching your favorite show, and your 20 year old kid turned off the TV so that you couldn't watch it? I pay all the bills at the house. I normally watch AHS once a week with my kid. This week, she told me to go watch it in my own room. I told her my TV wasn't working and we would just have to watch it in her room. She turned off the TV so that I couldn't watch it. Then, she pompously pulled out her iPhone and proceeded to watch it on her iPhone. What would you do if this happened to you?
- Is tbere any major différence between thé iPhone 6 and the 6s? Whooppeee is Xmas again and my daughter wants new 2nd hand) iPhone… 2 years ago almost bought her 5 before i réaliséd that it was 5s she wanted ( cos thé 5 sucks?) And I don't want to screw up this year…
