Any phone that start with only 16gb of storage space and forces you to pay $100 to get the space you are actually going to need should be avoided. Even 32 gb is almost to small for storage, especially as apps and games get bigger in size.
Both are crap. iPhones and Apple in general is a joke. I'm glad I switched to Android years ago. I'd never touch anything Apple again. All they do nowadays is steal ideas from Android and claim it's innovative. See pic below of they're latest innovation, after they badmouthed it for years lol. Then they charge ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for it. Apple is laughable overpriced garbage at best.

Look at the bright side they no longer serve the 32gb versions anymore. 64gb is the 2nd tier followed by 128gb obviously.
Depends what you want op. Personally I started smart phones with the iphone 4 and stuck with every non-S iterations. Its tempting for me to switch, seems like samsung and other new android phones have much higher ppi. The battery got a smidge smaller on the S, so battery life would be the same or worse. I don't think they announced the ram and if they did without bumping up from 1gb than I would forget it.
The announcement of 7 could be a do or don't situation for me on whether I should get the another iphone. I like the os, but the limitations despite jailbreaking along with weak specs is discouraging ( I know they are the masters at optimizing, but still).

Don't worry, you can always buy and sd car....... oh wait, apple put a stop to that too, they really want to make sure you pay $100 extra dollars for extra memory that costs at most $20 in anything else.

Can't see how this is a PC related at all, Moved to Mobile forum
On the matter, can't recommned Apple at all, you pay more for less.
Two phones I recommend are Meizu M2 Note (got it for myself and for my GF) and Asus Zenfone 5 - both devices are cheap as hell and got everything normal user would need. (Zenfone comes with Intel CPU so it's unique).
wow a lot of trash talk in here. On to the topic at hand, I'd say if you're coming from Iphone models 4 through 5c then yes but if it's the 5s or 6 than no you better off waiting to get a 7 or 7s
@Celsius765: That's some reasonably good advice. As long as you're in 64bit SoC range, you'll be in good shape for long time.
I'm currently using the iPhone 5S, I kind of feel the need to upgrade & I'm really not digging the iPhone 6/6S design.
Seeing how delicate these phones are, very prone to scratches.. if you ask me, I've always seen iPhones as car chassis without a body cover & things just got worse with the protruding camera.
How I'm dealing with my iPhone 5S? Well, I have a Mophie juice pack air case, & it may have added bulkiness but comparing the bulkiness that I'd get with using a similar Mophie case for an iPhone 6, it's really hard to compare. I really don't like carrying a separate battery juice pack with me wherever I go.
I was hoping to see the announcement of iPhone 6C, sometimes Plastic is a lot better than 'Premium Metal' finish.
I read that the iPhone 6S was originally supposed to be called the iPhone 7. Then somewhere along the line Apple decided to make the iPhone 7 as the iPhone 6S so that they can later make an iPhone 7. The more iPhones in the Apple product pipeline, the more profit for Apple's bottom line. In other words the 6S wasn't supposed to exist in the first place, it's only called 6S because Apple wants to make more money by selling you more products.
So which do I prefer? I'm currently using the iPhone 6, and I can always upgrade later on to iOS 9 with iPhone 6. I don't have to get the iPhone 7 when that comes out probably next Fall. But as always everything with the new phone will be upgraded including newer features. Unless you need to have Apple's latest hardware, there's no reason to wait to get an iPhone 7. Or you can do Apple that favor and get both the phones.
@leapyone: That's not accurate at all. Apple started making S models as far back as the iPhone 3G. There was a 4S and a 5s and now a 6s. It's not an iPhone 7 because Apple didn't overhaul the construction yet.
Look at a 3G and 3GS, 4 and 4s, a 5 and 5s, a 6 and 6s... See a pattern?
@musicalmac: I based my comment on what I read in an article but I don't have positive proof that what I read was accurate. Nevertheless, what you say does make sense however, then why wasn't there an iPhone 4 Plus and iPhone 5 Plus? It's not a stretch to say that maybe Apple decided instead of calling their phone the 6S maybe it was called the 6 Plus and then maybe the next Phone would be the 7 instead of the 6S.
Then again on second thought, you're most likely correct because the 6S is the same size as the 6.

I've got the same! 5s is very well designed and manufactured! In fact it has small screen but for me it is the only one disadventage.
I am not going to change it for 6/6s. I used 6 and it's in fact "plastic". I suggest everyone to wait for iphone 7. I am looking for a real breakthrough from Apple!
The 5S model is surely better designed and looking. Do you case your phone or do you prefer it 'naked'? If you'll end up casing it, then the design shouldn't really bother you much.
I am considering the iPhone 6S upgrade, I think if I'll stick with the S models, I can last for another year or longer without needing an upgrade. Usually the first models of iPhone series comes with issues.
iPhone 5 had the purple sunlight issue
iPhone 6 had the bending issue
Everything on ios has been exceeded on other platforms, but IMO the security Apple offers is a huge draw.
.....off topic but does anybody have experience with the site banggood? I don't need cutting edge. Not a smart phone user. Will keep the Nokia, but am eyeing either a zte nubia z9mini or lenovo vibe shot.

Plus is a Phablet.
I wonder if they'll make another C version, even though realistically the 5C was just an iPhone 5 with a plastic body.

That's right, it was.
I doubt we'll see another "C" version for a long time (if ever).
