Suggestions and comments on buying an iphone?

So.let me get this straight. The reason the 5s is more than the 5c is the fact that the 5c is plastic? I was reading reviews online. But what is even more dumb, is at verizon its cheaper to get a 5s than a 5; the 5 is $299 to upgrade, the 5s is $199, and the 5c is $99.
So what would be the better upgrade?

I really do not want any mean or rude people commenting, any name calling for asking this question either.

Why is my iCloud backup taking so long?

I need to back up my iPad onto iCloud so I can transfer all of my stuff onto my new iPhone. It just says "backing up… " With a loading thing in front of it, then it has the bar which has not moved AT All since I pressed back up, and below it says " estimating Time remaining… " Without a time. I feel like it is not working considering the bar has not moved at all this whole time and it won't tell me how long it will take. I know my internet connection is fine because I'm using it on my ipad right now, so what is the problem?

Why can't I send photos on my iphone 4s since ios 7?

Ever since I upgraded to ios 7 I can't send photos. I can send regular texts but not photos. I try to send a photo with iMessage using 4g and Wi-Fi and it don't work. I tried sending photos with MMS Messaging and that doesn't work too. What can I do to fix this and is this happening to anyone else?

Have you upgraded to ios Seven?

Please, tell me about how terrible it is so I don't upgrade.
Or, if you prefer, tell me about how much better android and Blackberry OS are and about how everyone with an iphone is an idiot with more money than brains.

What can I do if nypd stole or lost my possessions?

I just got out the cell today because or a minor issue. I stayed in the cell from 7pm and ended up at the court the next day (tues night-Wednesday afternoon) I gave my iPhone 5, wallet, home and car keys and my watch; all expensive items. The officer took all my stuff without making me sign anything. Later that night, i asked him about my items and he said he gave it to my dad (he came by but i didn't need to see him. I said ok. When I came back home, my dad told me the officer didn't give my dad anything. I went to the station at 7 and they said they couldn't find anything, come back tomorrow from 9-6
