The power button issue is a free fix at the Apple Store. I've got the same thing, just haven't taken it in.

I've got a 5S and love it. I'll probably hold off from buying the 6 until the 6S comes out.

My phone is jailbroken, too lazy to restore everything back. And I'm getting used to the AssistiveTouch feature. Will keep using it on the new phone.

For those that can wait there are definite benefits to being on the S upgrade cycle

I dont want one but I'll probably get one and send my 5s to my mother in law in Laos. She's the laughing stock of the town because she's still rocking the iphone 4s we sent her last year. lolz

Anyone getting the 5.5" iPhone 6?

Also the Note 4 was announced yesterday, which is the reason Apple is making a giant model.

I am waiting for iphone 8s. It will have a 8" folding screen like a flipup phone, but fully 180deg. I can just use 1/2 folded for 4" diameter phone, and make it a full 8" for tablet.
Starting price will be ONLY $2,199.

Different in Belgium mate. There it's against the law to bundle phones with contract so you ended up getting ripped off by paying FULL PRICE for an iPhone. Horrible. Hopefully you're buying yours unlocked from outside of Belgium.

Yeah I typically sell my old iPhone for more than enough to get the new one. Hell I just sold my parents old iPhone 4 8GB (didnt even know there was an 8GB) for $100.

It's funny, I always hear people say how apple "just works" the yet half the posts in this thread are about one issue or another from their 1-2 year old phones.

Also, I bet the same people who said that the iPhone screen is the perfect size and bash android for having bigger screens will be hailing this new iPhone screen as the coming of the messiah

It's more that when they don't work, it's easy to get a replacement or a fix. Further it's either free or relatively cheap. Having had three generations of iPhones, my wife and I have had six or seven replaced for various reasons for free and the one I left on top of a car was only $150 to replace. I've never paid for Apple Care either.

My experience with friends on Androids is that replacement and damaged phones are much more expensive and also generally requires dealing with a carrier store or mailing in the damaged phone and waiting for a replacement or fix.

Perhaps the best thing for me is that for the five or six years I've had an iPhone, I haven't stepped into a creepy AT&T store.

I used to love getting a new phone, now I don't see the point.

I'm still using a Galaxy S3. I feel like I'm in the stone age, yet it still does everything I need it to, and all the things I don't for some reason.

that can be said for any phone today especially if you have insurance. if your phone breaks and its your fault you just pay a $100 deductible and they send you a replacement. you only send your old phone back AFTER you get the new one. if its a manufacturer defect then its the same process except you
dont pay anything. for example, the battery on my wifes galaxy s3 was acting funny so Verizon sent her a new one and she sent her old one back only after she got the new one. thats another plus android, they have phones with removable batteries, with apple you need to either drag yourself to an apple store or send your phone back.

iv had my galaxy s4 for about a year and half and have zero problems, my parents and brothers all got an iphone 5 a couple of months after i got the S4 and each phone has either a battery problem or the home button doesnt work.
