We're eligible for subsidized phone upgrades in early December. DH has an iPhone 6 and I have an iPhone 5s.
Would you upgrade now or wait until next September for the 7? If you decided to upgrade, what feature(s) nudged you in that direction?
Part of me just likes having the newest and greatest, but honestly, the phones we have now function fine.

I have the 6 and I wouldn't upgrade. DH has the 5S and it works fine, but he wants a big screen. He might upgrade to the 6+ but will probably wait.

I'm so anxious to have the live photo option so I would upgrade now 
You can always sell your phone and get close to what you'll pay for the new one...no?

I upgraded immediately from the 6, to the 6S+. The camera is significantly better in the newest phone, and I take a lot of photos with my phone.

I mean, there's always going to be a newer better phone. If you can wait, wait, but if you need a new phone, go for the upgrade now. I actually just got a 6s yesterday after having my 5 for three years. I desparately needed a new phone because I had to charge my old phone at least twice a day with only minimal usage.

If you look at @erinpye: pictures, you will want to upgrade immediately! Her pictures are so brilliant and breathtakingly beautiful. I just upgraded to the iPhone 6S plus today and am really excited about this upgrade just for the better picture quality!
I was also having issues with my iPhone 5S though, running out of storage and battery drained so quickly. It was a great phone though while I had it (holds over 10 K pictures) and used for 2.5 years.

I just upgraded from a 5s to a 6s+ this week! My 5s was getting terrible battery life and I was always running out of storage. I got a 128GB 6s+ so that won't be a problem anymore, plus I wanted the amazing new camera upgrades before my LO arrives.

I am on the "s" cycle with iPhones and DH isn't. He has the 6 and I have the 6s and the difference in the camera quality is pretty significant. I take most pictures with my phone so I wanted the nicer camera! And the "live" feature on pictures is so awesome for toddlers!
