You can't "upgrade" a phone, except with a possible new version of iOS. You have to "replace" it, so better question is "will you buy it?".

Even if I buy it, I may only use 10% of the features (I believe most customers the same), why would I spend so much money that a 200$ phone can do?

we only can use a little about the phone features, but its great phone. if you need to have a phone to make other show off then you have right phone.

I'm not the type of person who buys every new released phone in the market. I don't think it's practical. As long as my current phone is functioning well according to my needs, I'm good with it.

Absolutely! They just keep getting better, faster, clearer, & more functionality.

In my case (contract), I locked in $170 from Gazelle to sell it after I get the new phone for $199. $30 for 2 years use seems too good to be true. A no-brainer!

Yeah right...

They also make it impossible for you to migrate from their robust iOS to any other system(your PC'd better be a mac as well, or you'd have to jump through a lot of hoops to make ANY sort of file transfer)

Also, anything that relates to auto backup or cloud backup is another hole of money pit, and it only grows larger and larger over time.

Probably not.

I will probably not... This remains to be seen what the new one has to offer.

My friend bought this phone last month . we all were really so excited for iphone 6. But Now I will say my xperia L is better than iphone 6. It is just a status symbol . People having iphone feels that they are the richest and special person in this world.

Not going to get any device that uses fingerprint technology like this.

No "3rd party" should have access to your biometrics under any circumstance.

If it shouldn't be utilized for protecting *your* personal file, then there wouldn't be a need for such type of data either.
