I guess I am just getting old but I don't care about my phone anymore. It does all I want it to do and I don't want to upgrade my phone more often than my computer.

The camera improvements are really quite significant - I was carrying my iPhone 4S and iPhone 6, and the quality of pictures, color, focussing was very noticeably different between the two, not to mention the considerable speed improvements.

If there's a subscription for new iPhone 5-sized models, we can talk.

This.. I need to stock up on 5s.

Completely agree. The trend toward phone sizes that are impossible to use with one hand or fit in a normal size pocket baffles me. I tried looking for an iPhone 5 size Android phone recently and even the "mini" versions of the flagships were huge.

I can just reach all of my screen, and I have freakishly large fingers. I whined, when they released the 5 to replace the 4, but the form factor fortunately walked right up to the limit of reach. I don't understand why it's intuitive to people at Apple to go beyond something like that.

Actually yeah this is something that annoys me also. I love the size of the 5{c/s}. I don't want a massive phone yet my options for anything under 4.5" is very limited.

Yeah, I actually liked the idea of the iPhone #c, but for now, we're just to get a 5S getting more and more obsolete. It seems dumb to just throw away that form factor, but I guess they found they couldn't manage the logistics of it.

I think at the moment the idea is that the bigger the phone the more it is worth thus the more they can make on it.

I would love a 4.2" (so .2" bigger than a 5s) version of the 6s. Basically just the same camera would be great.

Does it do more than your still camera and video camera?
