My phone will be up for an upgrade soon. I'm ready to change to a different phone this time. Thinking of either the samsung galaxy 5 or the new iPhone 6. Anyone thinking of getting the iPhone 6? This one will be slightly larger in screen size and thinner and I'm not sure if I want something a little larger than what I've had. They keep getting bigger each time a new one comes out. I like one to put in my pocket and with a protective case it'll look more bigger. I've heard a lot about the samsung galaxy 5, any reviews on this as well?

I will be getting the 6 as soon as possible. I have been out of contract for over a year and have been waiting not so patiently!

The Samsung 5 is also bigger than the iPhone 5. One model of the iPhone 6 will be 4.7 inches, but the other one is supposed to be bigger than the Samsung Galaxy 5. I liike bigger. It helps me to be able to see the screen better, so I plan to get the bigger iPhone 6. DH also wants to get that one. There will be a problem with it fitting in a pocket, but I usually carry mine in my purse anyway.

I'm waiting for the new iPhone. And I'm really hoping it is bigger! My old eyes have issues with the 5.

I find upgrade time perfect to get the model before. I just ordered a 32gb 5s, after being on a 8gb 4. I'm excited. I've seen mock-ups of the 6--it is WAY too large for me! I want a phone, not a mini tablet

I've been eligible for an upgrade for several months. I am waiting to see what the differences are between the 6 and the 5s. I currently have a 4s and am fine with it, but wouldn't mind a bit larger screen. Whether I get a 5s or a 6 will depend on the differences in function, looks and price. Definitely sticking with an iphone, though. DH has a Galaxy (4?) that he got at the same time I got the iPhone 4s and he is having tons of problems with it. I'm not sure why he has stuck with it so long.

I have also been eligible for an upgrade for a long time but I have been patiently waiting for the new iPhone. I am a iPhone person. I really like their products and I am hoping the iPhone 6 will be comparable to the Samsung S5 in size.

I imagine pricing will be the same as the 5s unveil. Apple doesn't change much in that area.

I wanted an iPhone on my last upgrade but it was smaller than my old phone. I'm about ten months into a two year plan and I dropped my galaxy 4 and shattered the screen. The protective covering is keeping it together so far. I'm trying to wait for the iphone6 even though I have insurance on this. I don't want to wait even longer by using insurance and starting my plan over and this phone still works.

I have a 5 now and am ready to throw the damn thing out the window! I LOVE the functionality of it, but the battery is complete crap. I read today that the battery issue is known and that there is a battery replacement program, which it may take advantage of.
All of my friends and family have iPhones, so the free texting and FaceTime are really nice. Those things make me lean toward getting a 6 when it becomes available. But I really hope they've done a better job with the battery.

I just went from Samsung Galaxy 3 to iPhone 5s (really good deals on here at the moment as they try to get rid of stock). I've had 2 Samsungs and had nothing but issues with them. I have a Mac so the iPhone makes sense and I was happy to go ahead and not wait for the 6. I don't really want anything bigger.

I had a Samsung and switched to the Iphone5. I love it and would never go back. You can always get a great deal on a 5 if you are worried about the size. Apple keeps their phones under wraps so I don't think anyone really knows what the new one will offer it's all speculation now. As the release gets closer you may have more "leaked" info to go on.

I've been due for an upgrade. I have owned an iPhone for years now. I would love to get a new iPhone. I carry mine in my pocket, so anything bigger than pocket size would be a disappointment for me. That being said, if the new iPhone is not pocket sized I will probably not upgrade no matter what the functions/improvements are. I will wait for the next pocket sized model

I like my iPhone 5s but the battery life is the pits. Right now I have my phone charging while I surf the web on it.

Anxiously awaiting iPhone 6 to replace my iPhone 4 with mic problems. I'll never get anything but an iPhone. I carry mine in my pocket so I'll be disappointed if it's bigger. Although after finally upgrading to iOS 7 and disliking the lighter, more narrow font and icons, it would be easier to read at least.

I'm not sure why he has stuck with it so long. It's the complete opposite in our family. My sister and I both have the iphones (hers is the 4) and literally everyone else in our family has the samsung galaxy 4 and have no issues at all.

I'm due for an upgrade in November, but I just got my battery replaced in my 5 today, because I heard about a defective battery issue with certain serial numbers, one of which was mine. So I feel like I've got a whole new phone now. I'll probably stick with this phone past my upgrade date unless the 6 cleans my house or cooks for me.

I think there will be 2 sizes in the 6. I never buy the first round...I always wait for the next one (4s, 5s, etc) to work out Bugs.

It said my battery had already been replaced. Nope. Haven't done a thing to it. Weird.

I wish I was out of contract. I have a 5s and not so crazy about it. It stinks because it was my first smart phone and I loved my old 'dumb' phone. I have an Ipad that I love but this phone has some of the worst connections I have ever had on a phone. Most of the people I talk to say they can barely hear me and it is fading in and out!
Can't wait to hear about the new 6 though.

We are an all-iphone family. I will get the 6 when I can. I am eligible for an upgrade in a few weeks. Wonder when the 6 will be released?

I'm on the 4s and cannot wait until the new release. I honestly can't imagine changing to a different brand other than Apple. I watch people do stuff and just seems counterintuitive on their phone. And since I use Apple exclusively, I cannot imagine the nightmare of having a different brand for my phone. I love iPhone, I think they do it right. And I cannot wait for the new release. Cannot. Wait.

I'm currently sitting with a 4, being teased by the rest of my family who all have 5 or 5s. First world problem, I know. I can't wait to get the 6, while everyone else has to wait out their contract. Ha - who'll be laughing then?! And I could never leave Apple - my DH would disown me...
