I'll do that! Hopefully, they'll get to me faster!

My brother owns a cell phone store so I usually get my upgrades through him. So I don't feel as bad now knowing he can get the rebates and trade in etc. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1756852 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 09:57:08 +0000 photojane 1756852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I got my 5s for free! They were $100 off, so only $99. I traded in my 4 and got a $100 credit, so I didn't have to pay anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1756835 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 09:51:47 +0000 regberadaisy 1756835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: you can set up an appt for the genius bar online! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1756828 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 09:50:08 +0000 Alivoo01 1756828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the 4 and upgraded to the 5s. OMG! What a difference!! Much, much better. I just started having battery issues the past few weeks so I need to find some time to head to the Apple store and get it looked at. I just hate how long I have to wait around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1756827 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 09:50:04 +0000 sorrycharlie 1756827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: yeah, DH paid $249 but we're getting a $100 rebate. and, I am submitting my 4s to get the $100 trade in back (gift card, i can use toward a bill). so really, it was $50. I was worried that when the 6 comes out, the trade in values will all drop again, and even if the 5s/etc drop too, I wanted to get more back for my old phone haha!</p> <p>eta: the phone was like $200, but all the taxes, fees and all that crap. they charge the tax on the full price of the phone now apparently. BS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1756818 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 09:45:25 +0000 regberadaisy 1756818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: @sorrycharlie: exactly !!! And I've already seen the 5s for $99. Which means 2-3 less months I have to live with my s4.</p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: macrumours have yet to be to wrong on previous releases. Those darn Chinese are always leaking apple products! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1756784 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 09:33:21 +0000 snowjewelz 1756784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 5 and I just might not switch! I am waiting for the official release tho, since I have to wait till Oct anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1756336 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 04:43:23 +0000 illumina 1756336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I'm holding out for the 6, but only because my contract won't let me upgrade until December. I wondered when the 6 was due out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1755891 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 19:02:00 +0000 sorrycharlie 1755891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh just surprised me with 5s today! I had 4s and I'm loving it so far. I don't think id want bigger screen but that's just personal preference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1755869 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:50:21 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1755869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't trust any rumors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1755859 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:42:03 +0000 photojane 1755859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I have a 5s, and I wouldn't want a phone any bigger than this. That alone would be enough reason for me not to get the 6 - it's supposed to be considerably bigger. I have zero problems with my 5s. I don't live in a major metro area &amp; my 4G always works. My battery is great, and the camera is a major upgrade from my old 4! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1755849 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:31:49 +0000 Boogs 1755849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still have a 4 and am planning on keeping it as long as possible because I refuse to give up my unlimited data. I've also learned the hard way from Apple that you shouldn't ever buy the first model of anything. So, even if I ever did break down and get the 6 I would wait a few months for Apple to work out all the bugs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1755431 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 13:25:06 +0000 ladybee 1755431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the 5. The only thing I'd change is the size, I feel like it's a little too small still so I'm excited for the 6! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1755426 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 13:21:33 +0000 krispi 1755426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 5c and I love it so much more than my old Galaxy. It did take a couple of weeks to get used to the new platform, but it wasn't a huge difference. My husband still has a 4s, and I really like the size of the 5 better than his. The 5 feels a lot better in my hands. I didn't feel like the differences between the 5c and the 5s were worth another $100 to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1754562 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 14:33:59 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1754562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm my battery life is awesome! It lasts all day with heavy use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1754559 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 14:27:19 +0000 StbHisMrs 1754559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan of my 5s, it might be defective because my Husband doesn't have any of the issues that I do.<br /> - I upgraded the IOS and lost ALL my ringtones even though it was backed up.<br /> - It doesn't send my texts via imessage a lot, it says not deliverable. I have to turn it off about five or six times to get it to work.<br /> - I get the not enough memory to backup message daily, but I'm constantly deleting and/or copying my pics to my pc from icloud, camera roll, and the pictures.<br /> - My battery barely lasts a day, charges all night. I've done all the tricks and they only help slightly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1754476 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 12:17:14 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1754476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have thought about it a little more. I have a 4S that is working fine but I am constantly bumping up against my 32GB max. My thought is to wait til the 6 comes out and see if it is worth the hype. If so, get the 6. If not, the 5S should be nicely discounted. Even if I knew I wanted the 5S, I would wait (as long as my old one was ok) since the price should drop once the 6 comes out. Win-win. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1754448 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 11:46:50 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1754448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: my first was a lemon, so after three. Is it's back to the apple store they finally replaced it. I also got a Mophie which helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1754440 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 11:36:39 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1754440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: ha. I'm in Minnesota and I am almost always on LTE! It's pretty good here. But only within the last 6-12 months. When I first got my iPhone in Oct/'12, it was awful. Always on 3G. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1754438 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 11:35:58 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1754438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: @locavore_mama: My 5S battery life sucks too! I can't go more than two hours without a charge - it's abysmal!<br /> My brother is trying to convince me to upgrade to the 6. He said that they supposedly came out with a new screen made of sapphire, which is supposed to be next to the diamond in terms of strength? I haven't researched it well enough to decide if it's worth it. But my phone is so bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1754429 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 11:23:18 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1754429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: LTE is still "experimental" in my area. Means the coverage is super spotty here. Maybe in a major left or right coast metro area it's better? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1754332 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 09:19:16 +0000 yin 1754332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The camera is the biggest selling point for me. From what I've heard (from DH), there will be image stabilization on the 5.5 inch, which I'm hoping will make a big difference and save the occasional blurry photo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1754232 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 07:42:04 +0000 sunny 1754232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 5s and love it. I don't know why you ladies have trouble with LTE... It works great for me. Internet is super duper fast! That being said, my battery doesn't last that long if I am actively using the phone to HB, text, etc. I also notice it getting hot from time to time so I have to reboot it. It also won't learn my husbands name which drives me crazy. I'm not sure why it always wants to autocorrect to random words and names that I have never used in my life. I have his name as a contact on my phone so I don't know why it won't add it to the internal dictionary! My previous iPhones never had this problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1754198 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 06:51:20 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1754198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 5 and i'm waiting for the 6. I dont want an android and i really like having the newest phone. I got the 5 the week it came out. I'm up for an upgrade on september 15 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1754188 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 06:34:00 +0000 OsoInGreenAndGold 1754188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another one here with a 4. Lately, I've been having to upload and delete photos every day as "there is not enough storage space" on my phone, which is making me batty. I was eligible for an upgrade in mid-June, but my plan has been to hold out until the 6 is released and get a 5s for cheap. BUT, now my camera won't focus AND it's hit or miss whether I can get through a phone call without my phone randomly cutting out, soooo I don't know how much longer I'll be able to hold out. It's going to piss me off if I shell out the money for a 5s only to have Apple release the 6, like, a week later, though. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1754181 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 06:10:44 +0000 looch 1754181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 4 I got as a refurb through AT&amp;T. I will upgrade to the 5 the same way. I used to always have the latest model, but now, price wins for what I use it for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1754176 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 05:55:13 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1754176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have a 5s and it's waaaay better than the 4. mr bee is eligible for an upgrade and he's waiting until the 6 comes out... and i may have to steal it! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1754170 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 05:47:41 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1754170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go ahead and get the 5. The six is still a rumor anyways and may not be worth the wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5s-vs-iphone-6#post-1753865 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 20:18:35 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1753865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: it was a defective phone, but the service guy was defective too. I mean who says that?!</p> <p>My replacement is better, but LTE still doesn't get service at work. When I turn it off I do get service. </p>
